Best Discontinued Snack Foods

We all have snack foods we love. Then one day — poof. They disappear. Maybe it was a candy that made every movie a little bit better, or it could have been a chip that had the perfect blend of flavor and crunch.

We love our snacks, and when one is taken from us too soon, we feel the gaping hole left in our snacking lives.

These snack foods rocked our worlds and then left us high and dry. Which one is your favorite?

40. Wonder Ball

Wonder Ball

Made by: Nestlé

When it launched: Mid-1990s, 2000

When it was discontinued: 1997, 2007


Bottom line: What wasn’t to like about the Nestle Wonder Ball? It was a ball made of chocolate. Check. And when you cracked it open, it had prizes inside.

OK, the first run of Wonder Balls had toy prizes that turned out to be choking hazards. But when they brought it back from 2000 to 2007, the prizes inside were edible treats.

Apparently, all of the kids from the ’90s outgrew them, and the new generation just didn’t get it.

39. Danish Rings

Made by: Kellogg’s

When it launched: 1976

When it was discontinued: 1980


Bottom line: Remember when the big debate was VHS vs Beta? The same kind of thing happened with toaster pastries.

Kellogg’s Danish Rings were introduced in 1976, but by 1980, the fruit-filled toaster pastries were kaput. Meanwhile, Pop-Tarts kept going strong.

Alas, our delicious Danish Rings were the Beta of toaster pastries.
