Or foods.

Bourjois used to make a brown waterproof mascara that was actually brown and not black-brown, brown-black, or slightly less black than regular black. Black mascara doesn't look good on me and I use mascara to darken my brows too (I have brown hair), plus I have oily eyelids and eyes that water easily so I need waterproof. I'm currently using Neutrogena waterproof mascara in black-brown because it's the closest I can find to the Bourjois, but God do I miss the Bourjois.

There was this shampoo and conditioner in the 80s called PermaSoft, and it had the best scent I’ve ever smelled and worked like a charm on frizzy hair, and there is no sum of money I wouldn’t pay for a bottle of that stuff now.

A LOT of shampoo companies have simply stopped making shampoo for oily hair. Why? Do they think all us people with oily hair died or something?

Original Skittles. It will always make me sad.

Kaboom was a cereal I LOVED as a kid. They stopped making it in 2010.

And not discontinued, but I hate how chicken biscuits seems to be a regional thing. :(

Chicken biscuits are regional?

....

........guess that puts me in the region.

My two absolute favorite cereals are Almond Delight and Team flakes. Neither one is made anymore. :(

Novo granola bars. They were nice; not too nutty, not too chocolaty. I miss 'em.

My cats missed Sheba when it was discontinued. I could feed them all sorts of pills hidden in a plate of Sheba.

Are you talking about a specific Sheba? Or in a specific area? Because I can buy it (Sheba perfect portions, I'd buy the pate, but cuts are available too) in the local stores, or on Amazon. I started getting it when my kitty had cancer and it was the only food he would eat.

Lifesaver creamsavers

I miss the big chocolate and vanilla flavored Life Saver swirl lollipops

This one Graham cracker cereal with Winnie the Pooh

There was this perfume set based on the elements ( earth, air, wind and fire ). Four scents that could be combined or worn alone. I haven't seen this stuff for well over a decade and a half.

there used to be a company that made a bunch of different scents of incense sticks that you could get in combination packs labelled fire, water, earth and air. They all smelled great and I haven't seen them since the 90s.

This was going to be my answer! I feel like elemental-themed stuff was really big in the 90s, something to do with the zodiac / Chinese inspired obsession at the time maybe? Boots Natural Collection did an elemental body spray set and I absolutely LOVED the Earth one. It smelled exactly like fresh cut grass. I kept a tiny bit in the bottle for as long as I could just to keep smelling it. I think I made it last about 3 years. I'd love to have one of those again.

Ocean Spray used to make a candy back in the 90s. All various cranberry blend flavors. So good! I miss it.

I hated it when Herbal Essences discontinued Intensive Blends and gave birth to that atrocious hair product line where every scent was garbage and none of it felt good on my hair.

I love Doritos, but I wish they would stop doing the limited edition flavors and then taking them away forever. I know some folks hated it, but I loved Mr. Dragon's Fire Chips. Wasabi flavored Doritos, come on! Fortunately, they did bring back Salsa Verde Doritos to my side of the country, which was another one I was missing for 12 years.

...

Also, I miss Blockbuster and renting games at Blockbuster. I get that it's a dying breed, but there was a whole experience that came with it. Netflix, Redbox, Hulu... it ain't the same. There, I said it :3

I miss Blockbuster as well. There was something about the browsing experience that I just don't get with Netflix. As much as I also love Netflix.

Hydrox cookies.

That Matrix Biolage stuff I put on my hair.

Those giant chocolate chip cookies trader Joe used to sell.

I swear those Hydrox cookies make their rounds every few years... or maybe I'm mistaking them for another brand?

my N.Y.C. vanilla scented slightly glittery lip balm that came in a small tub. I loved that smell.

MOTHERFUCKING S'MORES FRAPPUCCINO. :(

the ultra caramel is good, and i love the cold brew whip, but damn. i miss that drink.

"Phantom of the Opera" perfume. One of only two perfumes I ever tried that actually smells great on ME, not just in the bottle or spritzed in the air. (The other one isn't discontinued, but they changed the formula so it stinks on me now: "Wind Song").

"the himalayan" breakfast burrito from Good Food Made Simple. Website says it still exists, but no stores anywhere near me carry it anymore. :( I totally fell in love with it!

And I'll also echo original Skittles. I want my lime back, dammit!

Melba toast. Yes, the baby food.

There was a health food company I’ve forgotten the name of that made an awesome vegetarian chicken noodle cup soup along with a bunch of other vegetarian “just add boiling water” meals that actually tasted like food and not cardboard. I think the company went poof a decade or more ago.

I try not to get too attached to Trader Joes products in case they vanish.

And I miss Baja Fresh, they had a great veggie burrito.
