Hey GrayViners!

Let’s take a little trip down memory lane today, shall we?

We all have those things we loved that just up and disappeared one day. Maybe it was a snack that made your taste buds sing, a gadget that felt like magic, or even a household item that just worked perfectly. Whatever it is, we want to know: What’s one discontinued product—food, gadget, or anything else—you wish would make a comeback?

Was it that candy bar you used to sneak as a kid? That kitchen tool that made peeling potatoes a breeze? Or maybe that old soda flavor that hit just right? Spill the beans—we’re all ears!''

What’s your “I wish they’d bring this back” pick? Let’s swap stories and see if we can start a movement to bring these treasures back!

Can’t wait to hear your answers—let’s get nostalgic together! 🕰️✨

Cheers!
Blue 💙

It was a simple piece of candy that I was crazy about. I don’t remember the name of it but it was a sour lemon oval shape with ascorbic acid inside. It wasn’t overly tart but that center part would tweak my jaws with the sourness! It was sold in bulk by a Farrohs Candy Co. in the burbs of Cleveland Ohio. I haven’t been able to find any in the many states that I’ve been through or lived in.
 
When I was fresh out of high school, I went to work for AT&T as an “Information Operator”. I was replaced by the Internet but no one replaced the ability to call and get someone’s number and have a cheery conversation and get details like “ that’s the third house on Pine” along with the number!
 
The product I would most like to see on store shelves again is yellow mustard in a jar! That squeeze stuff just doesn't taste as good and is very inconvenient.
