Treats From Your Childhood You Might Not Realize Were Discontinued

Nothing takes us back to our childhood like our favorite snacks. Memories are made while celebrating a win over Capri Sun and Otter Pops or trading Cheetos for Ho-Hos at lunch time.

But not all snack foods were made to stand the test of time. You might recognize these 12 treats from your childhood that have actually been discontinued.

1. The new and improved lollipop:

We’re sad to see them go, but we’re glad we got to enjoy these snacks while they were still around.

So maybe Hubba Bubba Squeeze Pops were never meant to be long for this world, but why on Earth were Reeses Peanut Butter Cup bites ever discontinued?! Who doesn’t want more peanut butter goodness per bite?

But Waffle Crisp. Waffle Crisp deserved so much better.
