1997 Clearly Canadian drink Orbitz. The textually enhanced lava lamp of sodas. Due to bad taste and poor sales this relic of the 90's only lasted a year before being taken off shelves for good.
Product: Cajun Spice Ruffles Company: Frito-Lay Years: 1986-???
In the mid 80's, Cajun cooking was all the rage Every brand of chips and snacks around this time had to have a cajun flavor, and Ruffles had a hit on their hands with their version. Problem is, like every other fad, people lost interest pretty quick, and these chips were discontinued after only a few years.
if you from EAST TEXAS then you know this is king during high school football season...
Use to get that off of some ice cream trucks in the hood in L.A. in the 80s for $2. Now these fancy food trucks roam around throwing some sour cream on it and charge $10 for that shit calling it Frito pie. Fuck outta here. I can make it myself now. LOL
Back in the early 1970’s, the M&M/Mars company took a stab at replicating some of the new found success of rival Hershey’s Kit Kat bar by introducing something that looked and sounded pretty familiar, the Snik Snak. Snik Snak was released in 1973 and was discontinued by 1979.
Josta was the first legitimate energy drink marketed in the United States. Introduced in 1995, Josta included not only caffeine in its recipe, but also guarana. It became significantly popular but was nevertheless discontinued by PepsiCo after only four years.

Sir Chomps A Lot was a mini ravioli in a can made by Chef Boyardee.
OK Soda was a soft drink created by The Coca-Cola Company in 1993 that aggressively courted the Generation X demographic with unusual advertising tactics, including endorsements and even outright negative publicity. It did not sell well in select test markets and was officially declared out of production in 1995 before reaching nationwide distribution.
P.B. Crisps were a Planters snack food first introduced in 1992, and was produced until 1995.
Original New York Seltzer is a carbonated soft drink. It was produced from about 1981 until the early 1990s by father and son Alan and Randy Miller as a non-caffeinated line of sodas that were claimed to be made from natural flavors and colors.
Pizza Crunchabungas: Pizza flavored corn snacks in the shape of pizzas.
Hostess Ninja Turtles Pudding Pies: One of the rarest TMNT food products was made by Hostess in 1990; they were the "Hostess Pudding Pie" with a green sugar crust, and "Vanilla Puddin' Power" inside.

Nigga, yes!!!
Oatmeal Swirlers was made by General Mills and was available from the mid to late 80's in the cereal aisle. Every package of oatmeal came with a flavored jelly packet, and aside from flavoring the oatmeal, you were supposed to be able to make cool designs drawing with the packet, using the oatmeal as a canvas.
Jolt Cola is a carbonated soft drink produced by The Jolt Company, Inc. The cola drink was created in 1985 by C. J. Rapp as a highly caffeinated beverage. It was targeted towards students and young professionals, stressing its use as a stimulant in a similar manner as energy drinks.

Damn,they took it all the way there, and this was in the 80s?
that shit was the Red Bull/Monster/Rockstar of its day .. got me through a few study sessions
Coke BlāK
Launched in 2006. Discontinued in 2008. Coke BlāK was a coffee-flavored soft drink whose name sounds like something straight out of “Spinal Tap.” Fans really dug its cola-meets-coffee-meets-cream-soda goodness, but not its price. It was almost $2 for an eight-ounce can. Like so many great American products, it continued on for a bit in Canada before, ahem, fading to BlāK
Pudding Roll-Ups
The 1980s were a heady time for big business, and the Big Pudding lobby, fronted by Bill Cosby, was not to be messed with. This sugary consortium manipulated pudding into every possible food form in order to pump it in the stomachs of America’s youth. Didn’t think pudding could come in a flat form that you could roll like a cigar? Never doubt science. Pudding roll-ups came in chocolate, butterscotch and vanilla, and were sold with a slogan that should’ve tipped all of us off to their evil scheme: “Pudding in disguise!”
Dunkaroos wasn't anything more but cookies and cake frosting. Shit was goid tho.
Squeezit was a fruit-flavored juice made by General Mills and marketed from the mid-1980s until the middle of 2001.[1] The drink came in a plastic bottle that the drinker had to squeeze in order to extract the beverage from its container, hence the name.
Hostess Chocodiles
Chocodiles were basically chocolate-covered Twinkies, and they might be the greatest idea mankind has conjured to date. Unlike some of the items on this list, which can be had for a price on eBay, Chocodiles are very difficult to come by. If you’re wondering about the name, it comes from the snack’s old mascot, Chauncey Crocodile.
That speaks volumes because I STILL see this Capt Crunch knockoff in mid-upper neighborhood grocery stores.only time ive seen someone buy this was with a wic voucher lol
That shit was wonderful in the summer time!
Not sure if anyone remembers this, but Homeboy soda was the shit. I remember reading the ingredients and something about it being triple-filtered, which helped give it its great taste.
Sprite Remix was a line of colorless caffeine-free sodas and drink-flavoring packets made by the Coca-Cola company. Although based on Sprite, the Remixes were each flavored differently from the original. It was discontinued in 2005 in the United States.
Jell-O Pudding Bites were soft, chewy bite-size pudding chews that came in a box of six mixed flavored pouches. The mixed flavors were chocolate and vanilla or strawberry and vanilla. The bites were made from real milk. They also came in a single mix pack (like regular Jell-O) that you could make at home. These only came in chocolate.
