I loved Dunkaroos!! They were a staple of my third grade experience.
Chocotale! Vanilla! Yummy cookies, too! Tastes so good with a glass of *MOO*!
Not so much a snack food, but Sir Chompsalots' (I think?) mini-raviolis were yummy!
Most of the snack foods I liked as a kid are still around (Gushers, Fruit rollups, gummy snacks), I just haven't eaten them for years.

Oh dear lord, Rath longs for the Play-Doh without the flavor that was Space Food Sticks. Truly, truly grotesque.
Now, Shake-a-Puddin', THAT was a snack.
As were the long-forgotten cheese twists in a box called Flings.
They sell Koala Yummies in some random markets in Chinatown. Does anyone remember Big Stuff Oreos? I remember sharing them with my friends in pre-school.
I can't remember what they were called, but when I was about 3 we got these Snackwell's cookies. I remember they were very sweet dark chocolate brownie type outside and a thin layer of creamy icing on the inside, sort of like fig newtons. They stopped selling them, and I'm still craving them!
Dunkaroos... am I stuck in some time warp, because all my local grocery stores stock them, and so does the Stop & Shop...
Koala Yummies (they are called that?!?!?) you can usually still find those in Asian grocery stores...
I don't recall any of my favorite snack foods going defunct. Maybe some of the cartoon themed fruit snacks that have been replaced.
I miss the General Mills NesQuick cereal, and the good Grape Nuts, that are really sort of like the Grape Nut flakes now.
I can't really think of anything that I ate as a child that I don't eat now or that has fallen out of existence.

I really miss 3D Doritos. I loved those things. And Dunkaroos...although I rememeber seeing someone with them a while ago. God, but 3D Doritos...

Mmmm, 3D Doritos were loads of fun to eat.
What were 3D Doritos?
Not really a snack, but Milkfuls, the candy. I don't see them around anymore, but they were frickin' delicious.
There we go! 3D doritos! Jalepeno Cheddar. OMG...why did they ever get rid of them?!?!?
My first thought was Dunkaroo's, too. I saw them not too long ago in a dollar store, but I wouldn't want to know how long they'd been on the shelf.
Do they still make Gushers? I remember bugging my parents for them and thinking they were disgusting when I finally got to try them.
And not really a snack, but does anyone else remember Mondo? It was like a juice box in a plastic bottle.

I miss 3D Doritos also. They were good.
I miss Coke pre-1980, when it was sugar and highly carbonated, not like this flat corn syrup mess they serve now.
I love Mondos! They still make those. Gushers, too.

I really miss 3D Doritos.
Aw I thought I was going to be the first to say those. They were definitely my first thought when I opened the thread.
Also, for drinks I miss Vanilla Coke.
I had dunkaroos a few months ago. I think I found them in either Stop & Shop or Wegmans. I loved gushers! Does Pepsi twist still exist?

space food sticks - loved 'em, but not the caramel flavor
down the candy aisle - Razzles, Bottlecaps, and most of all, Zotz
I KNOW they definitely still make razzles.
I miss Freakies cereal. We used to snack on it.
And Libbyland TV Dinners for kids!!!
Libbyland commercial
Bottlecaps, too. Ugh, I hate those things.
I had koala yummies recently.
Not NEARLY as good as they used to be.
I heart Big Red soda. Sooo good.
When I was in elementary school, I loved packing Warhead candy in my lunchbag. I just loved the way it was so sour and then it got sweet it the middle. Some of us would challange eachother to see how many we can stick in our mouths and last the longest.
I also loved eating those stick cookies that are dipped halfway in chocolate or strawberry frosting. =P
Dunkaroos are still around. I see them in Costco all the time. I had them a couple of months ago.
I miss these Girl Scout cookies called Juliets. They were THE BEST cookie on the list when I used to be a scout. Then they removed them to make room for either some lemon cookie or ginger snap type thing. Ugh.
KOOGLE!
I feel like a stranger in a strange land-I've never heard of any of the snacks you guys have posted!

Rath I am so glad to tell you- you can still get Space Food Sticks!
Actually this place has a lot of these so-called "lost" foods. Enjoy!
