In Germany we had a joghurt back in the 90s called “Frufo” (a portmanteau of Frucht (fruit) and UFO), which was basically just a strawberry joghurt in a flat, round package with a hole in the middle for a small toy. They even released pralines, which were filled with the same joghurt and were pure delish, especially cold out of the fridge on a hot summer day.
Everywhere I go, people my age miss that. It just needs the question “Hey, remember Frufo?” to send them to memory lane :)
For me it’s the miracoli pasta sets we could buy here when I was a kid. I have plenty fond memories of that stuff when I was little, but as it turns out they don’t make them any more because it’s more profitable to sell the Sauce alone… not to mention the other flavors like the cheese and herb farfalle pasta they used to have :(
But they actually do! Or I had luck and got a limited edition from kaufland just yesterday. You should go and check out if they are still available :)
😳 i shop at Kaufland frequently, I’ll definitely have a thorough look next time was sure they had only the sauce in jars.
They introduced two new peanut flip flavours. One was Mexican and the other was oriental or something. They kept the Mexican one and ditched the superior oriental for some reason. Still thinking about them from time to time.
Devil’s Food cake/cookies. Originally they were Nabisco: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9b/a0/af/9ba0af2803a08d55bdc523ad21648559.jpg The red and yellow box. These were a wonderful memory from my childhood. Then you could only find Snackwell’s version. They were like 95% of what I remembered, not exact but so close they were still good. The last box I got (in the before times) tasted absolutely terrible and nothing like they used to. Tasted like dryness and absence of sweetness with no chocolate flavor. Texture wrong, everything wrong. Amazon would not accept my review of the new recipe. I may have compared them to the Devil’s butthole. Evidently those are discontinued now. I guess they went the route of making the new recipe so hateful we would celebrate the end of the production.
I’d love to be able to have something that tastes like the original ones though.
I remember, and miss them. My grandma always had them around back in the mid-seventies, and they were the treat of all treats.
She always had Buc-Wheats cereal in the pantry too.
A few years ago, Morningstar used to have a vegetarian rib patty. Once I realized its potential as a vegetarian McRib, I bought a pack. It was delicious. I bought another pack.
And then it was gone from shelves in every store that had it.
Yes!! Riblets! I haven’t seen them anywhere in years and I miss them so much :(
They’re (kinda) back!! I haven’t tried them yet, but I will.
There was a short boom of all different kinds of Fassbrause here in Germany. Fassbrause is a carbonated drink, that gets its carbonation from brewing, is made of grain malt and fruits and non-alcoholic (literally barrel-fizz).
It was then followed by a short trend of every rapper and streamer making their own iced tea and now the trend still going on is energy drinks.
I miss the selection of Fassbrause. It was not to sweet, malty and fruity, just perfect. Now I have to look for what feels like the two last brands still producing.
