Discontinued Dreaming

The list of discontinued snacks is a long and winding one and we'll be honest — sometimes we see a picture of an old snack and it unlocks a piece of our memory we had buried. Those "Oh YEAH! I remember those" moments of nostalgia that trigger tingly feelings. Can you remember all 50 of these discontinued snacks?

Pizzarias
Ebay

2. Pizzarias

Are Pizza Pringles supposed to be our consolation prize for the demise of Keebler's Pizzarias? Because if so, we're not consoled. We're still pining for Pizzarias in a snack aisle void of viable pizza-flavored, crispy, crunchy snacks. 

Butterfinger BB's
