Not discontinued, but it is hard to find in some areas. I think it's optional for most bottlers to make, so a lot of them don't or only produce cans.

Anyone over 40 probably remembers that back in the '60s Campbell's introduced a line of Hungry Man soups with that jingle, implying that a hungry man was a force to be reckoned with...and I have to agree!

Back when Shaquille O’Neal was a member of the Orlando Magic, the professional NBA team owned by the DeVos family, Amway sold a product called a Shaq Bar.
Fortunately, Shaq left town for the Lakers, and Amway quietly — and to the cheers of IBOs stomachs everywhere — thankfully discontinued the Shaq Bar a year or two later.



Hubba Bubba Soda started to "pop" up (ha! see what I did there???) on shelves in 1988. It was the brain child of Steve Roeder, who concocted the flavor using bubble gum snow cone syrup. Initially released in the Chicago area, it became such a hit novelty drink that it started to have a much wider distribution, reaching most other parts of the US for a limited time. How limited? Good question. I'm not really sure if this soda lasted a year, or possibly 2, but it wasn't around for long.

Betty Crocker's Mug-O-Lunch is just what is sounds like: a mug full o' lunch. Introduced in 1977 to much fanfare, Mug-O-Lunch was essentially just dehydrated meals (like beefy noodles, chicken and noodles, spaghetti, and mac and cheese) that could be rehydrated with boiling water in a mug.



Brim Coffee met an unfortunate end when its parent company, General Foods, merged with Kraft, which also happened to own the more popular Maxwell House.

Fruit Wrinkles were small fruit snacks that looked somewhat like wrinkled up fruit. They were introduced in 1986 and were purchasable in four flavors: cherry, lemon, orange, and strawberry. These snacks were around for what felt like longer than they actually were.



Turbo 1000 was produced for a very short time by Coors Brewing Company.

A fruit snack that was so delicious. In 1991, Betty Crocker released a soda-flavored fruit snack that was so delicious. ... Unfortunately, the fruit flavored snacks fell flat in 1995 and the soda flavors fizzled out for good in 1998.



Vault was a sweetened carbonated beverage that was released by The Coca-Cola Company in June 2005 and marketed until December 2011. It was touted as an artificially flavored hybrid energy soda. Coca-Cola was marketing Vault as a combination with the slogan "Drinks like a soda, kicks like an energy drink," as well as "The Taste. The Quench. The Kick." "Get it done, and then some," "Chug & Charge," and "Get to it!"

Sticklets Gum Company: Wrigleys Years: 1986-?
This was a gimmick that Wrigley's unleashed on the world in the mid 80's: Take the gum they are already making, cut the sticks into narrower pieces, put 9 sticks in a pack (instead of the normal 7) and give them a catchy name and a ho-hum-package. It was somehow supposed to tie in with the economy of the time, and that we need to "slim down" on stuff.



Sipity Doo Da was basically the Grandfather to today's Capri Sun drink pouches. It came in 3 flavors, Grape, Cherry, and Orange. What set this product apart from what we know today is that you would actually puncture the pouch with the straw in the side of the package.
It was made by a company called Blue Plate Foods in the early 70's (Blue Plate was owned by Hunt-Wesson Foods), and was Trademarked in 1974. Trademark expired in 1989 as it wasn't renewed.

Frozen waffles aren't great for you in the first place. But these took things to another level with a fruit spread stuffed into the center of each frozen waffle. It might be for the best that they're no longer in stores.



Coca-Cola started up the Citra brand — a caffeine-free grapefruit soda — in 1996. It's similar to Fresca and Squirt, and managed to get itself a decent following. But it became evident, due to lagging sales, that the Citrus brand wasn't going to work out, so it went on hiatus.
Coke eventually decided to rebrand it into its stronger Fanta stable, morphing the drink into Fanta Citrus.

My friend's mom used to always
have this at their house. It wasn't
bad but it wasn't that great either.
I see why my parents never
bought it. It's what the
astronauts drank in space.
Foh, lol.

Koo Koos were essentially Ding Dongs, or King Dongs, or Big Wheels (if you will). Chocolate covered chocolate cakes with a cream filling. Charlie Brown graced the package. Yum.



Enviga is a Nestea carbonated canned green-tea drink. When it was first launched in three flavors (green tea, berry, and peach) back in 2006 Enviga was the first beverage of its kind to announce that it burned calories. Basically it claimed that if you drank three cans a day you could burn an additional 50 to 100 calories, even if you just sat on your booty and did nothing but drink Enviga. Less than a few months after its release in February of 2007 the Center for Science slapped Coca-Cola and Nestle with a nice lawsuit for bogus weight loss claims. The lawsuit, which was later dismissed in 2010 completely destroyed the brand's image and by 2008 the drink was practically nowhere to be found.

Dolly Madison individual fruit pies featured Peanuts characters on their wrappers until the early 1980s. Each flavor had a different character on the wrapper.
