Have you ever found yourself desperately missing a brand or product that has been gone for a very long time? It might have been your favorite cereal from childhood, a beloved device, a favorite store, or a fashion trend that you never got to fully enjoy before it disappeared into the outdated goods. Whatever it may be, the idea of discontinued products that still hold a special place in our hearts is definitely interesting to look back at!
Anyway, recently someone in the Reddit online community posted a discussion about the things that have ceased production, but they miss them like hell. Feel free to share your own sentimental items in the comments area and explore 39 of the most popular ones collected for you!

Physical items for music, video games, movies, etc. (this isn’t actually discontinued yet but with the current trend it wouldn’t surprise me if everything just moves completely to streaming in ~10 years)
Too many things are moving to digital where you don’t actually own anything. All you have is a license to use the digital media. The last time I bought a physical game disc, the only thing it did was install Origin on my computer and provide a license key to download the game. My current car has built in Spotify instead of a CD player.
Maybe I’m becoming “old man ranting about change” but I’m concerned about how everything’s become a monthly subscription service where the companies control what you have access to and can remove things whenever they want.

Not discontinued, but Levi’s definitely changed how they made their jeans. They just don’t fit the same, and the materials feel very different.

**Jello Brand pudding pops.** There is nothing else like it in the market, and anything that I have found doesn’t taste the same. I just want my pudding pops back danggit.

All my favorite tops that ever wore out. The fashion train just moves on regardless, you can never go back and just purchase the same awesome undyed linen blouse with the frog closures and Chinese collar, you have to start all over again no matter how much you hate shopping because walking around naked isn’t an option.

We used to have a chain of restaurants called Souper Salad. It was just a salad bar with like 3 options of soup but it was cheap and all you could eat. I took it for granted back then, and now I miss it so much. 🥲

24 hour anything
Edit: While I know it is significantly less convenient than places being open, there has also been a tremendous push for places to have an online presence/online activity. So many people will complain acting like their website doesn’t exist.
And even though I do miss the ability to go to McDonald’s at 4am, I can understand they don’t want to deal with the tweakers and homeless at the time. But I still wish it would come back

Aladdin’s castle. It was an arcade in the local mall. I was heart broken when they closed that place down. So many good memories as a kid in that place.

Rice Krispies Treats cereal. I had it exactly once and it was magic.
Edit: You guys, I’m obsessed with the amount of people who also experienced this magic cereal and miss it. You are my people. ❤️
