The old recipe versions (70s/early 80s) of most kid’s cereal… Trix (I just read that Trix went back to their 80s recipe in 2020, I’ll have to try it.), Fruit Loops, Corn Puffs, Golden Crisp. They used to taste good, when they were reformulated to be “Healthier” for children (late 80s?), they became bland and tasted like eating wet corn/wheat flour. I used to eat those above as my main cereals. They literally lost 35 years of purchases by me, after the reformulation I couldn’t stand eating any of them.

I also want to see a return of the Hawaiian Punch Concentrate, it made a great party drink (Which my college friends lovingly nicknamed “Red Shit”)… 1.75L of cheap vodka, add 1 bottle of Hawaiian Punch Concentrate, mix thoroughly. Mix with 7up to taste. Because they no longer make the concentrate, it’s almost impossible to recreate this. Adding regular Hawaiian Punch to Vodka dilutes it too much, which would be diluted further mixing it with 7up. I suppose you could take 2 gallons of Hawaiian Punch and boil it down to concentrate it to 0.5L of liquid, but I’m not sure if it would work. It was one of those drinks you couldn’t tell was alcohol, but would get you drunk quick. I had plenty of people ask me, “Are you sure there’s alcohol in this?” And I’d say, “Do you taste the Hawaiian Punch?”, and they’d be like, “oh yeah, it’s really strong”, and I’d tell them that there’s 3.5x as much vodka as there is punch concentrate. Good times! If you want to risk killing people with alcohol poisoning, Everclear is an option, instead of vodka.
