You probably know that Google has its own so-called “product graveyard,” where you can find both stillborn products like Wave or Buzz, and the quite functional and popular Podcasts, Inbox, Picasa, and Reader. And there are actually a huge number of such products, things, and foods from the past that were damn good, but have sunk into oblivion.
People tend to be nostalgic for the past, and no matter how optimistic we are, we firmly know that it was way better in the past. And part of this nostalgia includes these various discontinued products, the discussion of which more than one viral online thread are dedicated to. And today we offer you a selection of such discontinued yet iconic products.

I am getting pitch forked for this, but I actually miss going out to blockbuster and renting a video. The whole going out, browsing the library, anticipation made it much more fun. I sometimes miss that.

Getting toys IN the cereal boxes. Instead of having to go online and ‘claim your prize’. I’m a big kid really, but I don’t have the shame to actually go and claim it :'(

Ipod classic.
Say what you want about the design, crappy itunes experience, etc. I’ve easily gotten more use out of mine than any other product I’ve ever owned. It’s simple, slick, and does everything I want.

That old rose-scented Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner that was everywhere before all this new nasty fusion s**t became a thing. Chamomile was good too. Just give me dat hair crack in those old bottles with the green tops once more before I die.

Inhalers with CFC
Oh what a time to have asthma it was. $10 an inhaler? Don’t mind if I do! I had at least 3-4 inhalers at a time.
Now they are $40 god d**n it! I usually have one or 2 if I think I lost it and bought a new one.

From the Post website it seems like it is still being made, but I’ve not been able to find a box for years. I miss it, man.

I don’t eat there anymore so I don’t know if they ended up bringing them back, but I remember being real upset when they discontinued Chicken Selects at McDonalds.
