BRING 'EM BACK!

 

With Pabst Brewing announcing that it was bringing back Schlitz beer, I was prompted to think about other products that were at one time popular, but no longer around.  With the aid of our vast and cerebral listening audience we were able to compile a list.  It is in no particular order:

 

Double Cola

Noxcema Pink Shaving Cream

The Yumbo (Ham and Cheese sandwich at Burger King)

Dippity-Doo

Campbell's Hot Dog and Bean Soup

Crystal Pepsi

PB Max (Candy Bar)

Marathon (Candy Bar)

Hershey's Golden Almond (Candy Bar)

Milk Shake (Candy Bar)

Chum Gum

Fizzies

 

We had a listener bemoan the death of Mr. Salty, but another listener pointed out he's been seen lurking in the aisles and Meijer.  Another listener, said there is a 30% less sodium Mr. Salty, but that would make him a walking oxymoron.

 

One listener misses 10-cents-a-gallon gasoline.  We all do, and it ain't coming back.

 

Please feel free to add to the listen, or offer any sightings of those already mentioned.

What others are saying

  • Non hacky radio hosts
    I would like to see the non-hacky radio hosts brought back. You know the ones. They don't announce the time every minute and sometimes twice a minute. Because we don't have clocks now, so we need somebody on the radio to tell us what time it is.

    And how about news anchors that just report the news. We don't need "witty" banter back and forth from the anchors. You're not an entertainment show. We don't care who you think will win American Idol, so don't tell us. Stick to reporting the news and give us the time and weather.
