IKR! They fucked up Diet Pepsi by changing aspartame to sucralose, as if it's any better for one's health. Aspertame gave it the "Crisp" in "Light. Crisp. Refreshing." Now it tastes metallic, even from a plastic bottle. It was re-released as "'Diet Pepsi Classic Sweetener Blend," but who knows for how long. It's good I like Pepsi Max/Zero Sugar, although I'm a Coke man.
I can actually still find this locally. Though they don't sell it in the "Plen-T-Pak" anymore.
It be annoying if it's still out there being enjoyed by someone that's not us North Americans!Mother. Fucking. Dunkaroos.
I don't know if they still have them in other regions but as far as I can tell, they're gone from the US. Either way, they were the shit.
I like Coke too (hopefully that diet doesn't switch ingredients on me and all, I do miss the "NutraSweet" branding of the 80's when that was all over these drinks).
I could recognize the NutraSweet logo before I could read. Aspartame is a part of me!I can actually still find this locally. Though they don't sell it in the "Plen-T-Pak" anymore.

I will say though I have saved a few unopened gum packs of Extra and even the long forgotten Adams brands. It'll be a nice keepsake for my kids or grandkids to deal with!
I'm still looking for some Sour Apple!

Reminded some countries still have Chicken Tonight!

"Classic Bubble" is indeed still sold in a "Slim Pack" and has a typical bubblegum flavor. However, original came in a dark red package and had a fruity taste with a hint of bubblegum. My guess was Classic Bubble and many limited fruit flavors coming out rendered it unnecessary, so production was stopped in 2003.
They had a way of getting their "swirl logo" out there!
Yeah I guess I haven't chewed it long enough to noticed the difference. Though back in the 80's I used to had Carefree Sugarless Gum a lot, namely their bubble gum flavor, there's a brand you don't see much anymore.
No joke, I found a nearly 20 year old pack of these while remodeling my kitchen last year along with some Fruit by the Foots advertising Mario Kart 64. I chose not to try any.Mother. Fucking. Dunkaroos.

It's best to keep these as ornamental pieces of a bygone era. I've done that with a tin of chewing gum packs so far. Every time I open it up, the smell just hits me! I know I can't chew 'em, but at least the smell is enough! My sis for example saved a couple boxes of Kellogg's cereals themed around The Simpsons from the early 2000's. I'm sure they're still at her house somewhere in a closet or attic.
Probably in the same remote places that sell Quisp and King Vitaman.I could talk on length about my moniker's namesake, but instead I'll bring up this amazing assortment.
For all I know they could still be making these and I'm just not looking hard enough, but regardless, whoever had the idea of adding oatmeal squares to Chex Mix deserves a raise.
We Americans get nothing if it ends up breaking a draconian law due the very nature of their design. There's already a few knock-offs being sold these days that got around the rule by making the eggs far less of a choking hazard.
The way Mars Inc. operates seems to find ways to mess around and confuse their brands globally (Milky Way for example is made with different ingredients on both sides of the Atlantic. Recently the US Mars just introduced Maltesers here. For us Yanks, these are essentially the same as Whoppers, but I hope they can keep 'em around as long as they can.
No wonder. Funny it took this long for someone to come up with that.
The things I miss for not buying pricey B-R flavors.Baskin-Robbins Amazing Spider-Man 2 ice cream. The movie might have sucked dick for pocket change, but this movie tie-in ice cream was fucking dynamite:
Those red and blue pieces? Poprocks. Ben and Jerry's should steal this recipe from the B-R vaults, change up the color scheme, and sell it by the pints in stores.
