PocketEpiphany Published 05/02/2022 in feels

We usually don't miss things until they're gone. But you might expect to notice when something really amazing vanishes.

However, countless awesome things faded away without us noticing. Thanks to Reddit, we've collected a few of the ones we wish would make a comeback.

1.
The Wonka labeling on Nerds, SweetTarts, etc. -u/PsychedelicLizard
2.
Sobe Life Water is mostly gone. -u/AmySchumersAnalTumor
3.
The live aquarium fish at Walmart. -u/cheerleadersquid
4.
Colored toilet paper, tissue and paper towels. In the seventies, toilet paper came in different colors to match the decor of the day. Green, yellow, pink, and so on. Paper towels and tissues too, usually in yellow and green.

They were discontinued when it was found they were a contributing factor to UTIs in girls along with Mr. Bubble bubble bath soap. Also if you had a septic system the dyes interfered with the biological process in the tank. -u/Ill_Maintenance8161
5.
“ROFL.” Everyone uses “lol” and “lmao”, but “rofl” has fallen out of fashion it seems. -u/Shopping-Puzzled
6.
McDonald's salad. I was about to buy one l earlier but I found out they were discontinued. -u/balloonidiot
7.
Ronald McDonald -u/Boureyn
8.
Trailer voice-over guy. It was used in every single trailer and then it was like he was snapped by Thanos. -u/Strumfius
9.
3D TVs. -u/NegInk
10.
Ringback tunes. So when someone called you they heard a song of your choice instead of the ringer. -u/luvzandkisses
11.
Sitting in class and being blasted in the nose holes by the smells of someone chewing on a watermelon Bubblicious. -u/SternLecture
12.
Butterfinger BB's. -u/valyrianqueen
13.
Philadelphia Cheesecake Bars. Pretty sure if heaven had a taste, that’s what it would taste like. -u/TeHNyboR
14.
Fruitopia. For a brief spell it was everywhere. -u/maniacalmustacheride
15.
Altoids sours. -u/drfullofshit
16.
Y’all remember purple and green ketchup & mustard? The 2000’s was a wild wasteland. It was amazing. -u/kileyweasel
17.
BBS or Bulletin Board Systems. Just before the internet got popular there were computers that were on 24/7 and available to be dialed into with your modem so that a user could play games, download files, and exchange emails with others around the world. It was a lot of fun and we spent many long hours on them. -u/mojoisthebest
