Thanks for sharing that @Arkie98 — Root Beer Popsicles were such a classic treat! There’s something about that frosty root beer flavor that really hits the spot, especially on a hot day. Funny how the banana ones are still hanging on, but the root beer ones vanished! Have you ever tried making...

Thanks for sharing @Sinda ! Those Ore-Ida cheddar hashbrowns were such a comforting, easy side — crispy, cheesy, and so hard to replace once they disappeared. Have you come across any store-bought alternatives that come close? Or maybe tried recreating them at home? It’s surprising how many...

Thanks for sharing that @bsa1944 ! Stella D’oro made some memorable treats. Could it have been their Anginetti cookies? They were small, round, and had a light, puffy texture — a bit like an Italian wedding cookie. They were so unique! Have you found anything that comes close to them lately...
