all day long. That is why we are making this fourth installment. Some really great products have been

over the years and in this list we'll commemorate some of the ones we

miss

the most. We're sorry if this reminds you of all the great

food

you're missing, but this way you can all get nostalgic together. Now, let's get into some discontinued foods we miss: Part 4. Colored EZ Squirt Ketchup The overall response to Heinz's attempt at creativity wasn't exactly overwhelmingly positive. In fact, most people kind of disliked him.

Sure, tomatoes grow naturally in a variety of colors besides red, including green, yellow, and even purple. However, when trying to translate this diversity into ketchup form... well, the result was anything but natural. That wasn't exactly a point in his favor, as moms are generally pretty health conscious when it comes to feeding their kids, and anything that seems remotely artificial is usually classified as unhealthy. This Heinz product was aimed at children, with bottles designed to ergonomically fit their small hands. Its nozzle had a finer tip than the typical ketchup bottle, making it the perfect tool for kids to draw creative designs.

EZ Squirt Ketchup came in classic red, plus green, purple, blue, orange, and teal. The last three colors could be found in their Mystery Color editions, which were sold in rainbow-print packaging and added an element of surprise to the product. After its initial introduction in 2000, this product was very successful. But after the novelty wore off, or after parents decided they'd had enough of seeing their kids cover their french fries in a strange purple substance, sales began to decline and Colored EZ Squirt ketchup was pulled from shelves entirely. shelves in 2006. Planter's Cheez Balls This one is here to inspire hope in all of us.

Planter's Cheez Balls were a hit in the '90s. These puffed balls covered in powdered cheese were addictive and delicious. Unfortunately, they were also discontinued in the early 2000s. However, Mr. Peanut is delighted to announce that due to popular demand, Cheez Balls returned in 2018. It's only a limited re-release, but beggars can't be choosers. They were sold only by Walmart and Amazon as of July 1, 2018. As of now, they are no longer available at Walmart, but can still be purchased online through Amazon. We recommend you grab some while you can, because it's only a matter of time before they are completely discontinued once again.

The limited edition revival of this snack was an incredibly successful marketing move. Fans jumped at the chance to re-experience one of their favorite snacks. Other companies may take notice of Planter's success and decide to follow suit. Which would mean very important things for all of us who miss so many discontinued foods. All in all, we're so happy we were able to eat Planter's Cheez Balls while watching TV again, and we'll definitely miss it once it's gone. Nintendo Cereal System The end of the eighties pleased video game lovers around the world with Nintendo Cereal System, a cereal inspired by Zelda and Super Mario Bros.

The video game theme wasn't even the best thing about this cereal; What really made it stand out from the crowd was that each box contained two different flavors. One, based on Super Mario Bros, had yellow, orange and green pieces and was labeled "fruity." The Zelda-inspired cereal was pink, purple and yellow, and had a berry flavor. Each cereal was packaged in its own bag, with a bag of each in each box. The individual pieces were shaped like characters and elements from their respective video games. Pieces of the fruity cereal had images of Mario, Koopa Troopas, Super Mushrooms, Goomba and Bowser, while individual pieces of the berry cereal were shaped like Link, hearts, boomerangs, shields and keys.

Like many other cereals of that era, the prizes were hidden at the bottom of the box. As for the Nintendo Cereal System, twelve collector cards could be found available. The fact that this cereal has been on the market for less than two years makes the remaining boxes quite valuable. In 2010, an unopened box sold on eBay for about $200. That's a pretty impressive price, considering it's cereal. Ghostbusters Marshmallows This wouldn't be a list of discontinued foods we miss without at least one element of Ghostbusters marketing. They really went all out when it came to promoting the film franchise and were especially inspired when it came to edible advertising.

Since Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is such an iconic character from the Ghostbusters movies, it was only a matter of time before Ghostbusters Marshmallows came out. These marshmallow bags contain white marshmallows in the shape of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, as well as green marshmallows, in the shape of the famous Ghostbusters ghost, Slimer. I'm not going to lie, green marshmallows create some pretty strange looking s'mores. While that makes them a great Halloween treat, these were the perfect marshmallows for fall bonfires. If you want to get creative, you can also use these marshmallows to make green Rice Krispies squares.

They may not have looked that appetizing, but they were perfect for theme

ies. These marshmallows were released in 2016, to celebrate the Ghostbusters reboot that hit theaters that year. While no statement can be found from Campfire, the company that produces them, that the product has been discontinued, we also can't seem to find this food anywhere. Most online stores list it as out of stock or unavailable, and it no longer appears on the Campfire website. All signs seem to point to a disruption. Trix Yogurt Yoplait's Trix yogurt was especially popular with children, probably due to its bright colors and high sugar content.

The aesthetics of the product were enhanced by the fact that the yogurt in each cup came in two different colors. Each color took up half of the container and usually corresponded to the flavor of the yogurt. For example, the Watermelon Burst yogurt was half pink and half green. You had the option of mixing them, which had the potential to result in a slightly unattractive color, or carefully eating one color at a time. This yogurt was actually inspired by Trix cereal, which was first introduced in 1954 and was made up of lots of colorful fruit-flavored chunks. There has been a lot of controversy regarding the shapes of the individual pieces of Trix cereal, and it is best not to go into the details.

But back to the yogurt. Trix Yogurt is something of a mystery. Today, most people who were once a fan of this product will claim that it has been discontinued and they can't find it in stores anywhere. Some of these people have gone straight to the source and messaged Yoplait on social media to ask about the fate of this once-famous yogurt. Yoplait consistently responds that it is still being produced. It's all very confusing. All we know is that it's been a hot minute since we last saw Trix in the dairy aisle. Scooby-Doo Scooby-Doo was first introduced in 1969 in the classic Saturday morning cartoon, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?

Since then, he has starred in several other television shows and movies, both animated and live-action. While animation styles and character designs have changed over the years, one thing that remains constant in each version of Scooby-Doo is the Great Dane's love of Scooby Snacks. These dog treats were so recognizable that it was only a matter of time before they came to life. While there have been Scooby Snacks that are actually dog ​​treats, like the ones in the show, it didn't stop there. Human-friendly Scooby Snacks were introduced by Keebler and were essentially cookies shaped like dog bones, with the word "Scooby" carved into them.

Baked Graham Cracker Sticks came in flavors like cinnamon and honey, and it was always exciting for the kids to find a package in their lunchbox. They get bonus points for being inspired by such an iconic and beloved cartoon character, but they also tasted great. These Scooby Snacks-inspired cookies can still be found on Amazon, but they are listed as "Discontinued by Manufacturer," so get them while you can. Who knows when they will disappear forever. 3rd Degree Burn Scorchin’ Habanero Doritos The Degree Burn brand was a limited edition release of three new Doritos flavors. They were First Grade Fiery Jalapeño, Second Grade Fiery Buffalo, and, our personal favorite, Third Grade Fiery Habanero.

As the name suggests, these Doritos pack a big punch in terms of spiciness, with the spice levels increasing progressively from flavor to flavor. They were actually launched alongside Pepsi's Cease Fire Max Citrus Freeze, with the logic that the drink would cool you down after eating such spicy chips. The third grade scorching Habanero Doritos were bright red, which was appropriate, considering how spicy they were. It was the kind of heat that builds up slowly, making these chips

icularly dangerous. If you quickly ate a bunch of fries, from the beginning it seemed like everything was rosy, but a few seconds later you would receive the full force of the spice.

These Doritos were really tasty and actually turned out to be quite popular. Unfortunately, they were only intended to be a limited edition and therefore, like all good things, their production inevitably came to an end. Hopefully Doritos will bring them back one day, because we have yet to find another Doritos flavor that can rival these for spiciness. Waffle Crisp Cereal There was crispy cereal with French toast, so of course there had to be Waffle Crisp cereal too. The waffle-shaped pieces with maple syrup-flavored frosting first hit shelves in 1996 and cemented their position as one of Post's best breakfast cereals.

If you're not a fan of maple, this cereal probably wasn't the one for you. Waffle Crisp is known for its strong maple syrup flavor and smell. Seriously, all you had to do was open the box and your kitchen smelled like a sugar shack for days. This made them a favorite among maple syrup lovers, but definitely put off anyone who wasn't such a fan. After a few years of becoming increasingly difficult to find, this cereal was officially discontinued in 2018. This was heartbreaking for many people, as many considered it one of their all-time favorites. You can't help but compare Waffle Crisp to French Toast Crunch, and opinions on the two can be quite polarized.

For Waffle Crisp fans, it's a little insulting that French Toast Crunch has been revived after a period of discontinuation, but perhaps instead of being bitter, we can see it as a sign that there's still hope for Waffle Crisp Cereal to one day can return. of your own. Oreo Cakesters Oreo Cakesters were one of the many, many variations of the original Oreo cookie, but they still managed to stand out from the crowd. They followed the same sandwich recipe, with a layer of cream between two cookies, but they differed in that they were softer and, as their name suggests, more similar to a sponge cake.

The Oreo Cakesters were still bite-sized, making them the perfect small after-school snack or dessert. They were available in all the classic Oreo flavors, including the traditional chocolate cookie with vanilla filling, Golden, Double Filled, Peanut Butter, and Chocolate. These mini cakes were released in 2007, but only lasted a few years before being discontinued. This left many people very upset, and to this day, Cakesters fans message Oreo on Facebook asking for the product to be brought back. So far nothing has come up, but it shows how missed the Oreo Cakesters really feel. Fortunately, there are still hundreds of Oreo products available to choose from, so you don't have to do without them completely.

However, this particular Oreo product was different enough from the original cookie to keep things interesting while still maintaining everything we know and love about Oreos, which is why we really miss them. Squeezit Squeezit, a fruit-flavored juice, has gone in and out of production many times since its first release in the 1980s. It last appeared in stores in 2012. The juice was packaged in plastic bottles and its “thing” was that, to drink the juice, you had to squeeze the bottle. Hence the name. The different flavors had cute names like Grumpy Grape, Chucklin’ Cherry, Berry B. Wild, and Silly Billy Strawberry, which from an adult perspective are pretty cringe-worthy, but hey, the kids liked them.

AfterA successful career in the '80s, Squeezit entered the '90s with plans to change things up. They began by releasing mystery flavors, similar to what Heinz did with their EZ Squirt Ketchup, except instead of being sold in rainbow-print containers, the mystery flavor Squeezits were packaged in black bottles. They also collaborated with LifeSavers, which led to the production of a handful of new flavors, based on the candy. In the late 1990s, sales began to decline and the drink was discontinued (for the first time) in 2001. It made a brief comeback from 2006 to 2007, then again from 2011 to 2012, but has not returned. seen since then.

Since everyone is trying to move away from straws these days, maybe we can bring them back to encourage the younger generation to do the same.
