Answer 1

Oh I love taco flavored Doritoes, they were my favorite.

Answer 2

The blame should be assigned to the well dressed brand managers who are called upon by the corporate gods to increase sales. If one of your favorites is dropped its because it hasn't sold well or a certain demographic (buyers) found new preferences. We are a fickle society in our tastes. Brand loyalty is a thing of the past. Look for catalogs that feature older and historic brands, you might find your favorites there.

Answer 3

I have it on good advice that these products had to die because they either:
gave comfort or nutritional aid to the enemy,
contained too high particle count of marijuana seeds,
too many employees where lost in into the manufacturing process or they finished stockpiling the "Lost" Island and they had to be silenced in order to preserve the secrecy of the production.

Answer 4

Sales were probably low and it was not cost effective to continue making them. There are many more products that I could add to the list...it seems when I find a product that I really like...then they stop making it or the stores in my area don't carry them anymore.

Answer 5

let's not forget Mountain Berry and Sunshine punch flavored koolaid as well as ZOTZ candy

Answer 6

Also, liquid concentrate Gatorade. The powder stuff is just nasty!
