Used to love a candy called Delfa Rolls. It was like a big sheet of strawberry licorice rolled up and cut into four mini rolls.
I cannot find them anywhere, even on the internet.
Anything you used to love but can't get anymore?

Pom poms made specifically for ice skates.
And, come to that, those little pom-pom people with the googly eyes and the feet that stuck onto your desk.
this doesn't completely qualify since there are still a few around but its getting harder and harder to find a good ice cold mug of a+w root beer in the summertime
I used to have a fondness for Bar None candy bars. Apparently I was the only one, they didn't last very long.
Oh, and one more you can get in Canada but you will not find in the states: Ketchup Potato Chips. They are surprisingly good.
I used to really like Marathon Bars.
Havana Joe shoes, but only because I can't get them in this area. I have wide feet with high arches. My wife says I have "Fred Flintsone" feet. Most shoes don't fit me and the ones that do aren't very comfortable (other than New Balance sneakers). These were the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, but they're expensive ($150+). Unfortunately, I have yet to find a shoe under $100 that doesn't feel like foot binding torture.
I also liked marathon bars.
Affordable good pitchers for small-market teams. :devil:
Heath Bars. Do they even make them anymore?
"Normal" Baseball cards. There are too many ultra sets and such, last I looked. And last I looked, I could not find a simple "Upper Deck" pack. And, hey - where's my freaking gum!!??

Made me do a Google search and found the below site that shows a list of discontinued candies. Dom's Delfa Rolls made the list. Vatican mentioned pom poms for skates, but there is also a Pom Pom candy that is on the discontinued list.

Crystal Pepsi.
Jarts, man.
Jarts.
Slush Puppies other than Red or Blue. I liked to mix my own.
French Chews are getting harder and harder to find.
Sweet Tarts on a stick seem to be rare. My Dad got me hooked on that when I was young. I found a place that had them in Hillsboro. I bought $20 worth at .10c apiece. Lasted all summer.
Albums.....the vinyl kind that came with great cover art (sometimes), lyrics that you could actually read (unlike CDs) and sometimes a bonus poster to slap up on the wall.
Cozy Wings....at least that's what we called them. Those little triangular windows on cars that you could push to a certain angle so that the wind blew directly on you. (before universal AC).
And, of course, New Coke. =)
Ice cold Coke in 6 1/2 ounce bottles from a vending machine for a dime.
My dad used to pay me $1 for cutting the grass. I'd take my dollar bill down to the corner gas station, get 2 quarters and 5 dimes change, and pound down those Cokes. Sometimes I'd buy a candy bar.
We'd sit on the curb at the station listening to the cars roll over the detector that would make a bell go ding-ding back in the garage bays. Chuck or Phil would come out wiping the grease off his hands and man the pumps.
Nothing like the taste of Coke mingled with the smell of gasoline and oil.
I'm listing mine in reference to baseball
1. Watching a Reds team knowing that they are just "being competitive in a VERY tough NL Central" (sarcasm in a goofy old white nerdy businessman's voice) instead of watching a Reds team that is playing for it all!
2. Listening to Joe Knuxhal instead of this Stewart ****** they hired to replace him.
3. Seeing Pete Rose and Barry Larkin in a Reds uniform (granted they can't play anymore but I still wish they were managers or something)
4. A power hitter who could hit 20 homeruns and that was considered one of the best in the game.
5. Doubleheaders
6. Marge Schott and her dog!
7. Lou Pinella or Davey Johnson as the Reds manager
8. Kids who played baseball from early on a summer morning until their mothers called them in for dinner. Now they just play that stupid PS and Wii
9. Music supergroups. Why doesn't rock have the GNRs, Black Sabbaths, Van Halens, or Led Zeppelins anymore?
10. Watching a race on Sundays that had the black #3 driving around the track, a race in the south, and when cars could just bang the hell outta each other and not be penalized.

I really miss a couple of things from my hometown. Stewarts hot dogs and Gino's pizza.
Coke made with sugar
$220 Coast To Coast Airline Tickets
Nectar Phosphates (outside of Graters)
Barqs in a 16oz Bottle
McDLT ( Not)
25 cent baseball cards. No, not a common from 1990, a whole pack of cards. I remember my dad reaching in his pocket and giving me a quarter or two and being able to get some cards. Now I can't get buy for less than $2.00 with my son.
Mason root beer,
Payday, Snickers, and Coke
the way they tasted in the 60’s.
Loved the returnable glass bottle Pepsi (1 pint each?), which came in an 8 pack (I think?). Finish off the 8 bottles, then bring the case back to the grocery store. They'd give you a store coupon for a certain amount off your purchase.
Big League Chew. Is that stuff still around? Man, we used to shove a whole pack of the stuff into our mouths at once. I loved the grape flavor.
What ever happened to pink, green, blue and floral TP? Did they discover that dye caused butt cheek cancer or something?
I miss No Jelly candy bars.
I can't get my boobs to be perky anymore, and I really, really miss that.
Tidbits. Loved those things.
I would also like to say that you guys make me feel young again. Since I'm 26, I don't even know what half the stuff you guys are talking about is. I do miss collecting baseball cards though. I also miss Druther's fast food places. The had some great potato wedges. :)
