commiserate with me - favorite products discontinued

They stopped making Planter's Cheese Balls!?

For me: Bobbi Brown Woodrose eyeshadow. Dior cream blush in Catwalk Pink - nothing has ever looked better on me. Gianna Rose linen-scented bar soap. And they changed the formula for J'Adore perfume several years ago, big time. It has a much harsher smell now.

L'Occitane made a perfume called Neroli that I loved. I wasn't even a perfume person, I was there buying Christmas presents for other people and got a free sample. I walked around smelling my arm the whole next day, after trying on the free sample and went back to the store and bought a bottle. Used it up. Bought another. Used it up. Bought another, they'd changed the formula. It was still amazing but not the same. I have a teensy amount of that last bottle left. The company discontinued it and I worry that they will never bring it back and I will be bereft forever.

Yes, I know that's dramatic. No, I do not care

I liked Seaspray too, PP, and Flowering Herbs. I got a gift card for BBW last year and went there at Christmastime. I said to the friend I was with 'There is NOTHING in this store I like anymore!' I'm with you: bring the oldies-and-goodies back, BBW!

OMG, I saw the word "flex" here and immediately smelled it so clearly. Smelled like cupcakes to me though...maybe I'm a little younger

Names used to make the best undershirts. I started wearing them under my scrubs. They were so comfortable I started wearing them under everything. They layed flat and never bunched under clothes. I'm large-breasted and I knew if I had one on, I didn't have to worry about undesired cleavage. But, alas! I can no longer find them. I've had my current ones for ten years, and they are getting holes. I think i will never find such great undershirts for the rest of my life. Let the violins begin...

Soft n Dri will help hide...when you're nervous inside! That was my deodorant in high school in 1985! Love that smell.

Anyone remember Faberge Organics shampoo? Ahhhh...that stuff was amazing with such a great scent. I swear it was a volumizer well ahead of its time. It was perfect for the big hair hairstyles of the 80s. Fab edge was discontinued, then I switched to Halsa marigold for blonde hair. Part of a whole line specifically for your hair color. Again, the scent! Gone by 1989. Never have found a favorite since.

And, Carnation Breakfast Bars. The first, ahead of their time, breakfast bar. The delicious, dry and crumbly goodness.





Halsa for blonde was the best shampoo and conditioner for my hair. Inner Science was really good and has also been discontinued.

Benefiber to go packages.

YES! I still cry over that every time I go to the grocery store. Utz is just not quite the same.

Taco Bell changed the chicken filling in their Chicken Soft Taco. Now it is filled with something that I expect to find in a dog-food can!

Starbucks coconut mocha frappachino! A little piece of Hawaiian heaven I could look forward to during the long cold winter. Sigh.

L'Oreal Khol eyeliner in Espresso. It was the best! I hate those self "sharpening" eyeliners, they never have a point after the first few uses. They still have the Khol eyeliner in Cafe but it isn't a dark enough brown for me

Also, I hate, HATE what philadelphia cream cheese has done to their cream cheese in a tub. The texture is all wrong.

l'occitane changed their formula for their shea butter hand cream, it's not nearly as good as it used to be.

Ditto on L'Occitane perfumes. I miss my favorites too. (FYI - Jo Malone has a couple close seconds.)

Does anyone remember the rainbow shirts from the '70's??? I've been trying to find one...
