What is this world coming to?

First it was Pepsi stopped making Clear Pepsi, Kraft halted Old English cheese, then I can't find Banana milk in FL to save my life, then I get exposed to Carl Jr. brurgers just to have to move 2K miles from them....and now this!!

WHAT NEXT????

Has a company stopped making something you loved out of the blue?

Full-sized bagel dogs - haven't seen them in years.

I could go on all day naming cars.

prop-driven fighter aircraft.

Consumer electronics that last more than two years.

Non-sense, every piece of electronics I've bought in the last two years has lasted that I can think of. Well, the ones that I didn't cause a problem in :).

USPS stopped making priority mail go quickly :(
Rio Red 90 Legacy LS AWD 174k
Liquid Silver 92 SVX LS-L 88k

I'm on First and First. How can the same street intersect with itself? I must be at the nexus of the universe.

Quality children's toys, too... it seems like today they're almost all engineered to be highly marketable to children instead of actually fun and encouraging to development.

It was a citrus soda meant to be a competitor to Mountain Dew. It was green. I felt that it really had a more real citrus flavor than any other soda even though it was also very sugary.

It wasn't sold in all markets... it was up to the local bottler to decide whether to bottle it or not. In my freshman and sophomore years of college I used to haul vanloads of Surge up to Ithaca from DC.

It was absolutely the best drink to have with Hot Truck.

Thanks.....now I am hungry. That sub/pizza thing looks sweeet.

I could so go for a taste of philly sub right about.....NOW.

I saw a guy wearing a pair of ROOS the other day. I had to stop and ask them where he got them. Eagle outfitters was his reply. Now you know....and knowing is half the battle.

First Example: Bratz Dolls.
WTF, to that, my man. Kids toys can be fun for everyone, even those they weren't intended for! So why make something you can only market to children, and no one else?
I guess your rant is probably more about what children learn as a result of their play. I'm with you on that, as well. Children's toys should teach more than entertain. That way, we can start them off with learning, and not with 'fashion' or some ill-founded moral value of materialism, such as the Bratz line.
Guess I'll be dumping my MiltonBradley stock, eh?
