Anyone remember the Nintendo cereal from the late 80's? Two half size bags of different cereal types per box. Great idea at the time, too bad it never stuck.

Jeno's Pizza, a tastier and cheaper alternative to Totinos. I haven't seen those in ages.

Kraft Spaghetti Dinner: Came in a box just like Kraft Mac & Cheese.  You had to supply one small can of plain tomato sauce.  So basically the box had the pasta and a packet of marinara sauce seasoning.

Cap'N Crunch Christmas Crunch: Yes, it was just Crunch Berry cereal with red & green berries, but the box was awesome and it was a staple of my Christmas for several years.  In recent years it has been available in other parts of the country but I have never seen it for sale here.

Jell-O Pudding Pops: Already mentioned, but deserves another vote.  Why the f*ck they quit making these is beyond me.

Smurfberry Crunch Cereal:  I haven't eaten this since I was probably 5 or 6 years old (so EARLY 80's) and I can still remember what it tastes like.

Ritz crackers and Keebler Club crackers: Yeah you can still buy both, but they're not the same since they took the trans fats out.

Cap'n Crunch All Berries is pretty much the way to go anymore.  I can't stand the regular stuff after that because regular crunch rips up the top of my mouth like a bunch of mini cheese graters.

You just need to nut up and develop some Crunch Callouses (TM) on the roof of your mouth.  Dr. Jibba's gonna write you a prescription:

For 14 consecutive days, you will eat 2 bowls of original-formula Cap'n Crunch for breakfast served with a large glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice, 1 sandwich made with a dutch-crunch roll served with equal parts pork rinds and Fritos for lunch, and for dinner one microwaved-10-seconds-too-long hot pocket that you then eat right away, with no utensils, because you're impatient and don't want to wait for it to cool off.

Definitley Punkys!  Do you guys remember these?  I preferred these over nerds and runts growing up - they were easily my most favorite hard candy.

Oh, yes, I remember those!  I liked them more than Runts & Nerds too... but not as much as Flip-Flops!

I remember a few beverages that're gone (Surge, Crystal Pepsi, Zima, Orbitz, etc.), but I can't say I miss any of them.

For food stuffs, I miss Necco wafers and Clove/Blackjack/Beemans gum; they're still made, but I generally don't buy food online or visit hipster candy stores.  I also miss the old chili cheese burritos from Taco Bell; you can still get 'em, but I think the chili is a bit different nowadays and no fritos.

Blackjack gum! I loved that stuff. It was the perfect thing in high school to keep people from bumming your gum, "hey GG, can I have some gum? EWW IT'S LICORICE FLAVORED? GROSS!"

I've found Necco products (ie: Skybars, Clark bars, Necco Wafers) at Dollar Tree and Five Below stores here in the south. 

The gum that you mention I think can only be purchased online.

Of all the things mentioned so far, this is what I miss most.

I was going to say Orbitz, they were hugely popular for a very short time where I grew up.
