So today I went to McDonalds just for a milkshake and I felt like cookies. But sadly it doesn't seem like McDonalds has cookies anymore. It's a shame, there were so good. There were fresh and gooey and chocolatey and wonderful. Not like other McDonalds stuff. It was just kinda sad because I was in the mood.

Anyway, I thought I'd post a thread for other products that might be your favs that have gone MIA...

Stupid liberals forced them out of the market. If a kid is dumb enough to point one at a cop they deserve to be shot. Plenty of people have been shot since then because a cell phone or beeper was mistaken for a gun, do we put red plastic at the ends of those or color them pink?

ha. i had the 'Water Hawk'. and a D battery powered Uzi squirtgun. and a 45. and a 25. all completely realistic looking. i don't think my mom liked them much though.
it seemed like no big deal back then. nowadays i can't even imagine a kid playing with one of these without someone calling to have the parents lynched.

I missed out on the 7up gum.

Another to ad.

The Willy Wonka company made Gobstopper like jawbreakers named "Daredevils"

They consisted of a sweet cinnamon.

They don't make them anymore.

My local one in Seattle has a bunch of shrink wrapped sandwiches ready to go, but the one in Portland doesn't. You have to order them.

They were "out of the loop" for years; however, Topps just released a brand-new series of them this year...

Check'em out...

yeah, i just stood aghast at a shop display of mon-chi-chis a little while ago.

I'd hoped they'd died a long and painful death after the 80s craze, but there they were.

Aren't catching on this time around, though.

And "Afro-Cola"? Meaning "Afri-Cola" perhaps?
German caffeinated beverage? Big in the 60s and 70s? I didn't think you had it in the States.

They never stopped making it, apparently.
I buy some every once in a while.

And check out their 70s TV commercials.
