Foods that are no longer available that you miss?

You can get Flake at London Drugs and you don't have to pay the import price gouge.

[sureLoss]

My local Superstore sells Flakes individually in the candy aisle

London Drugs does price gouge though.....lol

I am being half serious, they probably don't on a Flake chocolate bar though.

Do you guys really have Ribena in your grocery stores?
There's a company called Louza (?) that makes what I guess you could call high end fruit drinks. They had the best cassis (blackcurrant) juice but they stopped making that one.
i can find Ribena on eBay but that's all.

Yes, they used to be like that. Until they got wise to the fact that after sucking on these things for a while, the point at the end got sharper than a hypodermic needle. I'm not sure how many kids lost an eye before they were flipped around.

Does Flake taste like an Aero bar?

Don't they sell those Flake's in that English store in Market Mall?

I miss this SO much.

I used to buy Ribena at Superstore all the time. Have seen it at Safeway too, it's readily available.
For some reason it tends to be in funny places like the ethnic food isle though.

In Barbados they have this, and blue sprite... both tasted the same as normal sprite to me.

They currently sell this at a fish n' chips place near the Foothills called Billingsgate Seafood.

I actually used to buy one of these a day for about 6 months while going to university. Was bar none the best tasting drink I have ever had.

I think I've seen Ribena in Asian grocery stores. I definitely have seen it around town and in my buddy's cupboard so it comes from somewhere.

These little drinks were great...



I think I have seen Ribena at Superstore, but I bet Linas would carry it. Good for making Italian sodas.

When you posted this...bells went off in my head. That lemon cheese stuff was the bomb.

So I started investigating and wrote a couple emails, here is what i have come up with..

The stuff isnt made by Nabob any longer, but instead this is the replacement product...and is modelled after the other gooey goodness.

I don't know if this stuff is still available in the states, but it was in Canada for a short time:

Jif peanut butter.

I wrote Smuckers about a year ago wondering why I couldn't find this locally any more, and got a reply saying they pulled out of the Canadian market.

Booo!
