11 Foods from Your Childhood That Are Extinct Now
On this Throwback Thursday, I'm thinking back to treats from my childhood I can no longer find! Why must they go away! From Planters Cheese Balls to Clearly Canadian, here are 11 that have gone extinct.
- 1
Tan M&M's
Gone since 1995.
- 2
Clearly Canadian
This fizzy beverage went RIP in the late 90's. But we hear it might be making a comeback!
- 3
Rice Krispies Treat Cereal
Also gone since the early 90's.
- 4
Crystal Pepsi
Probably have to take to eBay to find any of this. This strange liquid disappeared in 1993.
- 5
Jell-O Pudding Pops
This is the biggest crime against humanity. How do you take one of the world's most beloved frozen treats EVER and banish it? Missing them since 2004.
- 6
Squeeze-Its
These were a staple around the swimming pool during my youth. They vanished in 2001.
- 7
Doritos 3-D
Before the Taco Bell Tacorito, this was the coolest thing that ever happened to Doritos. Sadly, we've had to settle for 2-D Doritos since 2005.
- 8
PB Max
These chocolately-peanut butter wonders have been gone since the early 90's.
- 9
Hi-C Ecto-Cooler
What's cooler than a radiation green drink named after a slimy character from Ghostbusters? Noting. But I haven't been able to sip on this since 2001.
- 10
Planters Cheese Balls
This is what I was snacking on back when I was drinking Squeeze-Its. I could go through a whole can while playing Nintendo on a hot summer day. But I haven't found them since 2006.
- 11
Apple Newtons
Forget fig. These Newtons were the bomb. Crumbled on vanilla ice cream? Unbeatable. But they've slowly gone the way of the dinosaur in recent years.
