I somewhat recall a variant of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups that had a crunchy cookie in them. From what I remember they were pretty good - far better than the newer Reese's variants they've been putting out.
Also, while I think they might still be around, I kind of miss Dunkaroos.
When I was on vacation, there were mint green tea iced tea from Nestea. It's like the typical green tea from Nestea in Canada, but it had a minty aftertaste feel that's sooooo refreshing.
You can buy that here to.
Really? I'm in Toronto and I've never seen it before... What city are u at?
I don't necessarily miss any old products, but it does piss me off that I have to order my Coke from Mexico to keep any HFCS from tainting my soda drinking experience.

I think we can collectively say we miss every sugary food from the pre-HFCS era.
Also, I miss gros michel bananas. I wasn't alive to eat them, but I know that I'm missing out on them.

This sounds like one of those things that I'm too young to know anything about. Can someone explain?
Sugar cane does not grow in the US very much. Corn grows in the US very much. If you want to make food in the US, and you need to sweeten the food, it is cheaper to use high fructose corn syrup than it is to import real sugar cane. This means you will extract the fructose from corn and make syrup out of it. It means you will use fructose instead of sucrose. Cane sugar is superior in all ways.
This is part of the reason why food is awesome when you bake it yourself, and chips ahoy! and other store-bought baked goods are not so great. When you bake you use real cane sugar, and sometimes real brown cane sugar.
A recent thing I miss that I'm a bit disconcerted by is sugar cubes. Last time I checked they were right next to the sugar in packets, now none of the local grocers have them. o_O Maybe a regional thing?
If you want sugar to find its way into more American products, get the sugar tariffs repealed. I'm not entirely sure what this would do to the U.S. corn industry, though.

Jolt Cola, Root-beer, and so on all use cane Sugar, at least down here. I'm not sure if Coke down here uses HFCS - Since Australia Produces a massive amount of cane sugar, and with the fact that coke Coke maintains a few bottling plants down here, it propably wouldn't be a problem for Coke to use cane sugar.
Here in Southern California, you can often get Mexican Pepsi (and probably Coke, but I'm not sure) at little hole-in-the-wall Mexican places. The bottles are always all scratched up and haggard looking. It's made with real sugar and it really is so much better.
Has anyone seen a Chik-O-Stick lately? I haven't. They were quite tasty when I was a kid. I also used to get this weird chocolate gooey stuff in what looked like toothpaste tubes, and I have no idea what it was called.

They had those at the corner stores when I was growing up. I guess those stopped too.

Brown sugar! How come you taste so good?
