2000s

Almost everyone recalls their first bite of a delectable Dunkaroo, dipped in confetti-colored creme. Maybe you even washed it down with a caffeine-loaded, citrusy Surge, or followed it up with a giant bowl of Mud N&#39; Bugs cereal. Remember when Trix was still fruit-shaped, or when Altoids had tangy fruit flavors? Do you recall your first taste of Planter&#39;s Cheese Balls? Or the decidedly superior&nbsp;French Toast Crunch? Or the perfectly gooey, melt-in-your-mouth Rice Crispies Treats Cereal?

These tasty discontinued foods will give you serious nostalgia, and make <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/things-you-wish-you-were-better-at/lauren-slocum?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">you wish you</a> had a time machine so you could go back and stockpile your favorites, or just get one more taste of one of these treats. The drinks and snacks of the 2000s were loaded with some of the most unforgettable flavors and textures of all time. Although these snacks are sadly no longer with us, they will live on forever in our memories.

Nostalgia

Halloween in the 1990s was a magical time for trick or treating, and if you ever got to dress up like a Power Ranger and hunt for the <a href="/crowdranked-list/best-halloween-candy">best Halloween candy</a> in a McDonald&#39;s Happy Meal bucket, you know this to be the truth.&nbsp;The best parts of Halloween in the &#39;90s are here on this list of the very best &#39;90s Halloween nostalgia and nostalgia-related toys, candy, commercials, decorations, trends, costumes and more, so that you can yearn for the times when you walked the streets in a vinyl costume that was really just an expensive, uncomfortable, sweaty pair of pajamas that you&#39;d have to wear a jacket on top of anyway.

Whether you were the type that liked to stay home and hand out candy (hopefully good candy, not the <a href="/list/worst-halloween-candy/chef-jen">awful Halloween treats</a> like pennies and popcorn that some people distributed) or a committed trick-or-treater that hoofed it up and down the street until the final Snickers bar had been collected, &#39;90s Halloween nostalgia will bring you back to all the best parts of your childhood as it relates to one of the best holidays of the year.

What was Halloween like in the 1990s? What were the best parts of &#39;90s Halloween? There are tons of candies, costumes and movies that will take you right back to the &#39;90s, but these bits of nostalgia are specific to Halloween and all the sugar-fueled glory of these fall nights of your youth (or early adulthood, if you&#39;re of that age, or if you&#39;re younger, this is what it was like before kids had GPS safe-trick-or-treating routes, flashlights and calorie counters on their camera phones.)

This list has the absolute best discontinued sodas, ranked by the community. The sodas on this list will take you back in time to when these crazy soda flavors you can&#39;t buy anymore were still on store shelves. What are the absolute best discontinued soda types out there?

From Flinstone&#39;s Soda to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-happened-to-surge-soda/zach-seemayer" target="_blank">Surge</a>, this list has the greatest discontinued soda brands you&#39;ve been missing.

This list features the world&rsquo;s best discontinued soda brands including Orbitz, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/crystal-pepsi-history/kellie-kreiss" target="_blank">Crystal Pepsi</a>, Josta, Jolt, Vault, Apple Slice, Coca Cola Black Cherry Vanilla, Life Savers, Snapple Tru Root Beer, Pepsi Blue, and OK Soda.

Randy Savage

We asked, you answered. Fans of the Ranker Facebook page chose which dead actors they’d like to bring back to life for just one more movie. Do you agree with their choices? From old Hollywood stars like Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe to more recent actors who died young, we’d welcome back any of these great talents with open arms. We started with a few suggestions (like Paul Walker, Health Ledger, and Patrick Swayze), and Ranker fans added their own on Facebook. Now, it’s time to vote. Who do you miss the most?Which of these dead actors do <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/things-you-wish-you-were-better-at/lauren-slocum?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">you wish you</a> could bring back to life for one final movie? Vote up the stars you think should get a second chance on Earth and on the big screen. Don’t see your favorite actor who passed away? Add them! Maybe wishing will make it so! If not, we’ll just have to wait until we get to Heaven to see these famous faces yet again. Until then, at least we have their past films to fill our time! RIP to these actors who passed away.

Toys

The 1990&#39;s were an amazing decade for toys. We just barely missed the monsters craze from the 1980&#39;s with some really iconic toys such as a Rubik&#39;s cube, lite brites and SIMON, but the &#39;90s is when technology really started having an impact on the way kids played with their dolls, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/forgotten-action-figure-tv-shows/damon-davis" target="_blank">action figures</a>, and eventually, virtual pets.

From POGs to Barnyard Commandos, to Yak Bak, laser pointers, and TIGER games, the following is a votable list of the most nostalgia-inducing&nbsp;&#39;90s kids toys. Vote up the ones you had, vote down&nbsp;the ones you either wanted and didn&#39;t get or just plain old hated. Add any you can think of that are missing and have fun going through what most people&#39;s attics are currently filled with. These are the best toys of the &#39;90s. Toys have only gotten worse.

Disclaimer: These items were all available at the time this list was published! If someone else snaps them up before you, you&#39;ll have to do your own search. But at least you&#39;ll have this list of discontinued items to inspire you!

Think back to those long-lost halcyon days of the &#39;90s and all the cool stuff that you were never able to get your hands on. You probably thought to yourself, &ldquo;As soon as I get some money, I&rsquo;m going to buy me a pair of Moon Shoes.&rdquo; But then, as most fads do, the Moon Shoes you wanted went out of fashion, and your dreams were dashed upon the rocks of commerce.

Thank goodness the internet came along, and with it a whole slew of cool stuff to buy on eBay. Not only can you find your precious Moon Shoes, but there&rsquo;s an entire market devoted to items that have been discontinued on eBay. Don&rsquo;t worry about digging through the world&rsquo;s biggest online flea market yourself. To save you the time we&rsquo;ve put together a handy list of discontinued items you can actually buy on eBay.

Whether you&rsquo;re on a nostalgia kick or you&rsquo;re just hankering to find something cool from your childhood to buy on eBay, we&rsquo;ve got you covered. This list of discontinued items you can find online has everything from Crystal Pepsi to Hypercolor shirts, and even Surge! That&rsquo;s right, with eBay you can rot your teeth while you show off your cool retro fashion sense, and you don&rsquo;t even have to leave your home. Isn&rsquo;t technology the best? Get ready for a blast from the past with this list of discontinued items that you can actually buy on eBay.

Comedians

Sam Kinison

This is a list of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-funniest-stand-up-comedians-in-entertainment?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best stand up comedians</a> who died too early. These stand up comedians died before they had run out of steam and, for most, died in the prime of their career. Stand up comedy is a hard profession and drives the people in it into some pretty rough life styles. Because of this, there are many more premature deaths in the world of comedy than there are in other professions. Not all stand up comedians succumb to this, but some of the best stand ups have died too soon. This list contains stand up comedians who are dead now (R.I.P.) and who died before their time. This doesn't necessarily mean that the stand up comics on this list died early or young. Most of them were middle aged or, in the case of George Carlin, down right old. This list is for the stand up comics that died with plenty of comedy left in them. So much so that it is tragic to lose them. The famous dead comedians on this list are white, black, asian, latino and everything in between. Some of these deaths occurred recently, whereas others happened decades ago.&nbsp;All items on this list contain videos of some of the best performances by the deceased comedians in question. Please note that some of these videos contain harsh language and may not be suitable for work.&nbsp;Vote up your favorite stand up comedian who died to soon and add any that you think have been overlooked.&nbsp;

School

In the '90s, around mid-July, every jerkwad Target, KMart, Sears, Walmart, and Office Depot location would start advertising their &quot;Back to School&quot; stuff right in the middle of summer as a horrible omen of what was to come: the next school year. The only consolation was that the '90s was a decade of loud colors, appealing to kids by making everything into the coolest school supplies.If you didn't have to most awesome '90s school supplies, you weren't ostracized, but you definitely weren't cool. You'd sit there with your sharpened #2 pencils, off-brand crayons and boring pencil bag, wishing your parents had sprung for the cooler stuff. This is a list of all the cool stuff we either wish we had or remember having in school during the '90s. We would all lose everything by about the third week, but those first three weeks of awesome stationary and every color of gel pen were really, really awesome.The best&nbsp;'90s school supplies were the ones that they had commercials for on TV, trying to convince young students that normal pens were for old people. These are the greatest, most nostalgia-inducing '90s pencils, '90s stationary, and nostalgic '90s school supplies (Lisa Frank included), ranked in order of awesomeness by voters who knew what it mean to cool for school in the 1990s.

High School

List of reasons why I miss high school--prom, football, lockers, writing notes to friends and the school cafeteria. We take all of these special things for granted when we are in school and we don't realize that they are some of the best things about high school. After you graduate, a lot changes and friends drift apart and move all over the country.High school is a time when you are closest with your childhood friends and you still get to act like a child, but have fun like an adult (sort of..)&nbsp;Even if high school was a hard time and wasn't as cool as a<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/all-high-school-movies-or-list-of-high-school-movies/all-genre-movies-lists"> typical high school movie</a>, odds are that there are some things that you miss about high school. Vote for the things that you miss and add any bit of high school nostalgia that you can think of. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Fast Food

&nbsp;

This is a list of discontinued <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-mcdonalds-menu-items/ranker-food?publish=true" target="_blank">McDonald&#39;s menu Items</a>. With the ever-changing fast-food landscape, these old McDonald&#39;s menu items just couldn&#39;t keep up. Some of these delicacies never got a chance to shine and were retired before they could find an audience. Others were just horrible, horrible ideas that left sad memories and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-mcdonalds-slogans/werner-brandes" target="_blank">sadder slogans</a>.&nbsp;Some of these retired items should be brought back. If we can have a yearly McRibbing, why can&#39;t a seasonal McLobster also grace our dollar menus? If every St. Patrick&#39;s Day we get to indulge in a Shamrock Shake, why can&#39;t we pair it with some Onion Nuggets? Okay, replacing the potato isn&#39;t the best thing to do on an Irish holiday. Maybe bring back the super-sized fries for that day only?

It&#39;s too bad that McDonald&#39;s won&#39;t sell this retired fast food to a competing chain. The McHotDog would have a welcome home in the eclectic calamity of the Jack in the Box menu. Taco Bell could probably do something with the McDonald&#39;s Chicken Fajita recipe. And a McPizza would be great paired with a Pizza Hut P&#39;Zone.

But, perhaps that&#39;s just a dream. Perhaps fast food items need to move on&nbsp;so that new ones can take their place. If that is the case, welcome to the McDonald&#39;s Fast Food Graveyard Ranker list. Vote for your favorite discontinued McDonald&#39;s food item. (Would you like fries with that?) And if you&#39;re a real fan of Ronald, be sure to check out our list of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-mcdonalds-breakfast-menu-items/ranker-food" target="_blank">McDonald&#39;s best breakfast menu items</a>&nbsp;and if you weren&#39;t already aware, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/mcdonald_s-secret-menu-items/secret-menu-items" target="_blank">McDonald&#39;s secret menu</a> is LIT.

Any kid born before 2005 knows the magic that is Blockbuster: choosing&nbsp;a film to watch at you or your friend's&nbsp;house, wasting&nbsp;an inordinate amount of time perusing the aisles seemingly for no reason. Blockbuster video wasn't just a place where you rented videos. It was the&nbsp;old school equivalent checking your Facebook just to swipe through,&nbsp;even though you know there's nothing new to see there. It was a place for the nerdy kids, the film buffs, the AV kids, and anyone who loved being surrounded by a seeming endless choice of movies.There was a certain vibe at old Blockbuster stores, and all video shops really, but Blockbusters were the ones where really we had them everywhere. They had a weird smell and a certain vibe. It was both mysterious, family-oriented, or just a place where you could pretty much do anything you wanted. So much so that they even started to install little arcades in them.&nbsp;If you're nostalgic for the time before streaming video service and Amazon rentals on demand, this is for you.&nbsp;

List of things you will miss most after college; or, if you have already graduated, things you miss most about college. The best parts about going to college and reasons why University is the best time of your life. While college is different for everyone, there are some fundamental similarities: everyone is mostly broke, optimistic, open to new experiences and willing to try new things. Many people think that living in a community of people who share the same values and hopes as you is the thing you will miss most about college. Others will mostly miss the hot girls (or guys), parties and opportunities to take a vacation every few months.What will you miss about college? How do you make the most of your time in college? The answer just may be to realize all of the great things that you have before you graduate and take advantage of them. Does life after college suck? If you keep dwelling on the past, sometimes it can feel that way. But remember once you graduate you still have a lot of learning to do. (You can start with brushing up on these <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/things-you-should-know-before-you-turn-30/elise">Things You Should Know How to Do Before You Turn 30</a>)

List of all of the discontinued foods of the &#39;90s that you would give anything to taste just one more time. Grocery stores of the &#39;90s were a time for exploration. A time when fruit snacks, sodas, candies and fast food could be &quot;extreme,&quot; multi-colored, and when food was expected to be loud. In the barrage of failed experiments, misguided attempts at health food and sad campaigns unsuccessfully targeting the youth of America, there were some gems. Some <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/90s-snack-logos/mallory-weiler" target="_blank">1990s foods</a> that if we could go back in time, we would pick up at the supermarket immediately.

These are the best foods from the &#39;90s. From Fruitopia, to The Arch Deluxe, Crystal Pepsi, Pepsi Blue (poor lost Pepsi), Pop Tarts Crunch cereal, PB Max, Sprite Remix, Josta, to even Spice Girl lollipops, these are the best in 90s food: snacks, drinks, candy and all.

The 1980&#39;s was a great decade for toys and entertainment. Everything was bright, loud, neon, and totally fun. Even years later, many toys, games, movies, and TV shows draw their inspiration from &#39;80s pop culture. Toys, however, were what captured the imaginations of kids in that time before home video game systems, the Internet, and DVR. Saturday morning cartoons dictated the top &#39;80s toys that kids played with, and there was never a shortage of inventive and creative new toys for children to entertain themselves with. The &#39;80s was the golden age of toys.

Who could forget some of the most popular dolls and stuffed animals from the 1980s, like Cabbage Patch Kids, Teddy Ruxpin, and Pound Puppies? For kids who were more into action figures, He-Man and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were super fun to play with. Interactive toys like Rubix Cubes, Legos, and Guess Who? encouraged kids to use their noodles to solve puzzles, strengthen their memories, and build new creations with their imaginations. And outdoor toys like Roller Racers and Pogo Balls allowed kids to get out of the house and have a good time in the fresh air.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Which toys and games make you the most nostalgic for the &#39;80s? Vote up the most popular toys of the 1980s below, and be sure to let us know what you think in the comment section! &nbsp;
