This sure is an old smurfing thread. heh.

You gots a problem with old things, missy? 

I miss the Honda CRX Si.
If I could find a 1991 model that came out of a time capsule, I'd give up my Integra in a heartbeat. And my 'teg is a fantastic little car.

yeah that was a fun little car.

I miss Coke in a glass bottle. In most of their commercials the actor is almost always drinking from a glass bottle yet they are very hard to find. I think it tastes better from glass as opposed to plastic.

I miss Coke sweetened with sugar instead of corn syrup.  That's one of the nice things about Mexico.  They still do it the old way.  Huge taste difference.  Glass bottles, too.

Oh, and my local Smith's (Kroger under different name) sells Coke in glass bottles.

Interesting.  Is this exclusive to Mexico, or do they use sugar in many countries?

You know, I don't know the answer to that.  Seems like the Coke I had in Europe tasted pretty much like Coke here.  And it's been so long since I've been to South America that I can't recall.  I don't recall having anything that didn't have copious amounts of alcohol in it during any of my trips to the Caribbean (okay, that's not totally true...  But I don't recall having a Coke, anyway).

OK, I guess I'll just read the ingredient list when I go to one of these countries.

I miss being the guy you could count on to resurrect old theads.  cake18, I summon thee to command a company of zombie legions!

I miss Cracklin' Oat Bran.

oh man I had forgotten that stuff I WANT!!!

They use whatever's cheapest or easiest to get hold of. In the US, that's corn syrup. Over here, it's sucrose all the way baby. Also, I think they're not allowed to use phosphoric acid over in some or all parts of Europe so they have to use citric, but I could be wrong about that.

Also, over here they've started selling coke in glass bottles again but it's only for the hospitality trade.

I miss Jolt cola (it's not as available as it used to be).
(I can find Jolt...it's just a lot less convenient)

OH HELL YES. Jolt Cola is the best. I only know of one gas station that still carries it.

Soda doesn't have a very long shelf life.

You'd be surprised. You can drink pretty much any soda as long as it's still carbonated.

Oh, and I miss Mello Yello. I can only find it in Indiana. Damn Mountain Dew. You are worthless compared to the almighty beverage that is Mello Yello.

I miss Camp David.

Mmmmmmmm...Beefy... 

Yeah, this is a way-old thread. Cool nonetheless. Some good old cereals mentioned here

I've seen Mellow Yellow at every single McDonald's I've ever been to.  You might score a fix there..look for the golden arches.
