What Discontinued Snack/Food Item Needs To Come Back?

A couple of years ago, for Thanksgiving, the family was a little spread out so it was just the two of us and MIL.  So, we decided to have a smorgasbord of shitty-ish frozen foods.  We got some Hebrew National Bagel Dog Bites (pretty good btw), some taquitos, and some other shit.

I was very disappointed to find that the little Chun King mini eggrolls are no longer made.

Those would have been a perfect addition.

I killed so many of those things in high school. The box said 12, but there was always 14 or 15 in the box. So much better than Totinos Pizza Rolls.

I dug around after my iniitial disbelief, and apparently Chun King was purchased/merged with Totinos and the pizza rolls resulted.

I wonder where you can find the Michelinas.

I think he's referring to the Mars Almond Bar.  Which is essentially a Milky Way with almonds on top of it, like an Almond Joy versus a Mounds.

I believe you are correct that what is known abroad as the Mars bar is a Milky Way here.

csb/ I've always called this exact product a hamburger.  At some point in the 70's probably, we found ourselves with a major miscommunication at the hunting camp.  Everyone thought they were supposed to bring breakfast and no one brought anything else.  We probably had 12 packs of these and a bunch of powdered donuts.  One night someone in our group was bitching and saying all he wanted was a hamburger and another crusty old guy threw a pack of these Mrs. Baird's at him and said "here's your fucking hamburger".  csb/

I know - you had to be there.

I ate my weight in these during high school and college.  Big glass of whole milk with one of these broken up in it and one dunked in it and I was good to go every morning.

Yep.  It was a breakfast staple many years with either milk or coffee.  I found something very similar to it years ago, lost track of it and can't remember the name of it.
