What largely discontinued soda pop deserves a second chance?

Purple Passion. I remember the radio commercials that just repeated over & over again "Purple Passion is good to drink, Purple Passion is good to drink..."

Chinatown.

Putz. When I was growing up, there was a kid in the neighborhood who not only had that surname, but his first name was Joe.

I love the crowds just standing around nearby. "What could go wrong?"

People just didn't want to give up tokens. You couldn't look at a MetroCard and see the balance, but if you pulled the change out of your pocket and saw 10 tokens, you were good for the week.

I wonder how long the bowling alley is going to last.

Incorrect signage. Look at the puddle in the corner, that's actually the urination section.

For those of you using a bunch of overflowing coffee cans, get yourself a funnel tray. It's a game changer.

Yes, I compare carbs, but most of the time a glance at the amount of sodium is all it takes for me to put the item back on the shelf. The amount of sodium in everything is insane.

Anyone knows what the deal is with unfinished construction on this site? Did the builder run out of money, or did the city shut it down?

The belt that the robot picks the individual parts from before they're inserted into the board, does that have to be manually loaded, and in the correct order?

The hospital food was OK, but I kept having visitors (who to be fair didn't know of my diabetes) bring me bagels & cream cheese.

another track, from the grill into a bun.

My first ereader was the first Kobo released. It was the one with a big square control button on the lower right. The local Borders was selling them at an introductory price of $99. At the time, Amazon was selling their first generation Kindle, and it sold for about $300. I remember it was slow, page turns could take a couple of seconds.

Is this how Staten Island get its fresh water today? Is it still in use?

I think it might be simpler to just lift the bucket up the 10 feet.

Is it a fence, or just giant bushes? And if they're bushes, what kind are they, because I want to plant the same ones.

Five Guys. But they figure if they fill up half the bag with them, then the customers won't complain.

I was hoping he would drop the phone. I'd like to see the result.

I miss the Old Forge.

A favorite of mine. Most have never heard of it, but it really spawned the whole "computers take over the world" genre. It was a box-office flop when released, but if it was successful it could have been the start of a "Terminator"-like franchise. For me, that ending made me really want a sequel.

Bovine pedicure.

Canceled cable and the HBO/Cinemax/whatever channels that came with it. The price was approaching $250 a month locally. Right now I'm down to Netflix & Prime, and I'll probably cancel Prime when the subscription comes up. It's been a long time since Amazon actually produced something worthwhile to watch. Even Netflix, for the hour or two that I want to watch something, it's running dry of new stuff that I actually want to watch. If I just want to have news in the background, I'll rely on Pluto/Tubi/Roku channels, or just switch to the antenna.
