The food business is a merciless mistress, leaving countless brands dead at her feet, some before they ever had the chance to find a foothold in the market. But as long as there are those of us who remember these deceased foodstuffs, they will always live on... even if we can't eat them.
Over at Confections of a Dangerous Mind, there's a pretty good round-up of childhood food faves, from Choco'Lite to Fortune Bubble Gum to Marathon Bars, that have all passed on into the ether -- some for the better.

"Though the Marinos were strictly a Kool-Aid/ZaRex family, my cousins' family always bought the Funny Face packets, which had amusing illustrations for each of the different flavors -- like this extremely racist Chinese Cherry one.
How offensive is that? Especially those teeth!
I shudder to think what the Black Raspberry drawing looked like."
