Sadly, the shortcomings of a free market capitalist society. Every company wants to cut costs and make things cheaper to maximize profit.

Including paper towels and toilet paper. Might as well be using sand paper with the cheap crap they have out.

I used to love Newlyweds Cake Rolls. It was odd, because they almost had a kind of stale taste to them, but I loved them. I think they stopped making them, because I never see them anymore. I did do a search for them and it looks like there are similar products available - not sure if they would have the same taste. I might have to try one of the other brands.

Then, for some reason, it was discontinued.
never heard of it but then not much surfing done here in Scotland.

Wow - I used to love these!! I got some (don't recall how many yrs. ago) at one of the "retro" candy places... I liked them too - I'm a coconut fan.

Try OldTimeCandy.com -- they still carry that.


Now, NOBODY still carries Hershey's Cacao Reserve Extra Dark Chocolate Bars with the cacao nibs. Or Carnation Breakfast Bars, chocolate chip flavor.


Even the people who bought the recipe for -- and briefly distributed -- Space Food sticks after years off the market have gone the way of the dodo. Sniffle!

Oh, and ANYTHING made by Deva Lifewear. I went to replace my old, tattered tunic with the elbow-length sleeves to learn that the company had closed its doors for good.
