Bring it back now! The beloved nostalgic item everyone’s yearning for
- Replies 0
Ah, nostalgia. It's that warm, fuzzy feeling that washes over us when we think back to the good old days.
For many of the GrayVine community, those days included the simple joys of peeling back the foil on a TV dinner, sipping a Tab cola, or crunching into a bag of Doritos Jacked.
But as the years roll by, some of those cherished items have vanished from store shelves, leaving us with nothing but memories and a craving that just won't quit.
It's not just about the taste—it's about the memories. Each bite of a long-gone snack can transport us back to a time of Saturday morning cartoons, roller rink birthday parties, or that summer road trip with the family station wagon.
And it seems we're not alone in our yearning for yesteryear's treats. Social media is abuzz with snack aficionados and casual nibblers alike, all begging for the return of their favorite bygone bites.
We’ve seen the beginning and farewell to items like Crystal Pepsi, 3D Doritos, and Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Asteroids. Despite their disappearance, some snacks remain embedded in our memories.
Sweets like Hubba Bubba Bubble Tape and Trix Cereal coming in fruit shapes reminds us of easier days. Meanwhile, Nestle’s Push-Ups, Baby Bottle Pop, and Jolly Ranchers Soda are still being clamored for.
The latest snack to stir up a storm of nostalgia is none other than Doritos Jacked. These weren't your average Doritos.
They were bigger, bolder, and thicker, with flavors that packed a punch like Ranch Dipped Hot Wings and Spicy Street Taco. But in 2019, to the dismay of many, Frito-Lay decided to discontinue them.

The outcry was immediate. “They need to come back as soon as possible,” one fan pleaded.
“They were the best ever,” lamented another. The snack authority @snackolator's recent query about which snacks people would resurrect if they could, saw Doritos Jacked emerge as the clear favorite.
It's not just wishful thinking. There's a trend of snack revivals that gives us hope. Remember the Choco Taco? It's made a few comebacks.

And whispers of Jolt Cola's return have been circulating, too. Fast-food giants like McDonald's and Taco Bell have tapped into our collective longing by bringing back items like the snack wrap and caramel apple empanada.
Other snacks that have fans clamoring for a return include the neon green Hi-C Ecto Blast, Rice Krispies Treats Cereal, Red Velvet Oreos, and Peanut Butter Toast Crunch. It's clear that these flavors of the past have a special place in our hearts—and our stomachs.
So, what can we do to bring back the snacks we miss so dearly? It starts with making our voices heard.
Social media campaigns, online petitions, and reaching out to the manufacturers can show there's a demand. After all, these companies know that nostalgia sells, and if there's enough interest, they just might listen.
