I want the orange Otis Spunkmeyer muffins back!

Peanut butter Twix. They were always getting harder and harder to find, but now I can’t find them anywhere!

Dean and DeLuca lemon bars

Carnation brand breakfast bars. Chocolate covered and satisfyingly dry and crumbly and not too sweet.

Chi Chi’s restaurant salsa. Spicy and fresh and heavy on the tomatoes. And no, the bottled salsa sold in grocery stores is t at all similar.

Also ginger ale in green glass bottles - Schweppes maybe? that was made with real sugar and real ginger. A real treat when when grandparents served it to me while staying with them over summer vacations.
Always decanted into a tiny juice glass and so strong that it would have a pleasant kick. I still drink ginger ale but now only ginger beer can replicate the ginger heat.

My grandmother would take me to one as a kid where she lived in Brooklyn and I’d get belly lox on a bialy and she’d get a tongue sandwich (never tried it but I’ll admit it smelled good). We would then split a black and white cookie down the middle. I liked vanilla and she liked chocolate so it was perfect. A lot of them have closed as tastes have changed and younger generations don’t want to take them over. Who’s eating tongue, borscht, matzo ball soup, derma, stuffed cabbages, kugel etc anymore.

Jews eat these things still of course. There aren’t good delis in the DC area but they’re alive and well in NYC.

NP. If you're actually in the DC area, you can both get most or all of these things at Parkway Deli and/or Snider's (Jewish grocery store) near Downtown Silver Spring. Kosher Pastry Oven Restaurant in Wheaton? And I'd guess at Attman's or Ize's in Potomac/Rockville, but I haven't been. Don't know about DC or NOVA but I'm sure there's some.

Oh no! I thought my horrible Kroger just stopped carrying them. FYI the Whole Foods version are actually even better than Stoned Wheat Thins were.

I love Brussels. My grandmother used to buy them when I visited, something my mom did not buy. Now they are teeny - like coin size almost. Shrinkflation I guess.

Nabisco brand chocolate wafer cookies. Was able to find them at Wegmans until a couple months ago - I asked an employee and was told they are discontinued.
