What food or drink do you wish they would bring back?

I’m addicted to Dr.pepper and there was a popular type called Dublin Dr. Pepper that was made with pure cane sugar. They stopped making it about 6 years ago. Sad thing is I never got to try it but oh well.

Not sure this qualifies, but...
Light Cream.
THIS is what you use if you truly love coffee.
Milk has too much protein, and it changes somehow in the heat(think the word "curdles" was actually used).
Even half -n- half isnt recommended by the connoisseurs...
Light Cream has been slowly disappearing from store shelves, one after another. They all still carry heavy/whipping cream, and half -n- half, but no light cream--- puzzling as it's natural, and not a brand or trademarked thing.
...sigh...

You 90s and 00s babies know absolutely nothing about this:

Man these were so good! I wish they would bring them back.

Won't happen, no one under 31 cares about TMNT.

Hence the last 2 Michael Bay movies flopped.

Lollo rosso and feuille-du-chêne [oakleaf] lettuce. Back in the 90s Sainsbury's were encouraging customers to try new, relatively exotic varieties of vegetables by giving out recipe cards. Some of those newbies in the fresh produce aisle have remained to this day, like fresh chillies and pak choi; others have gone the way of Magic Eye pictures and Hypercolor t-shirts. I happen to have a cookbook from that era, Sainsbury's Complete Vegetarian Cooking. Each recipe I've tried in it has become a game of "spot the trendy 90s-era ingredient".

A similar thing happened with dragon fruit (pitaya), which briefly appeared on supermarket shelves in the 00s. You could say it was the fruity equivalent of Owl City's Fireflies! Actually I did see some for sale at the greengrocer's the other week and bought one but it wasn't as tasty as I remembered.

Its not technically correct since they still have them, its just there are none near me.

Nathan's Famous Hotdogs.

We can get them in some of our supermarkets Tom, have you looked in yours?

Yes, we have tried it, but we can't make them taste the same. Must be those revolving rollers and lights...

Interesting, you know I tried them too and was shocked and disappointed in them. But I thought it was just me.

I wish Tesco would bring back their own-brand fresh free-range chicken stock. It's no longer available in their Leamington Spa Metro branch.

The Metro stores don't have as big a range as the proper Tesco shops, if you have a big 24 hour one local, have a look in there.

I sure enjoyed those Carl's Jr. "Six-Dollar" burgers with pastrami in them.

But that same "six-dollar" burger now would probably cost $9.95. Oops.

Thing is, this Metro branch used to sell free-range chicken stock. Annoyingly, neither of the independent organic butchers (The Meat Room and Aubrey Allen) are selling fresh chicken stock this week, although staff in the latter have assured me it's on order.
