I worked at a Popeyes in Metairie in high school...my buddy and I would go in a few times a week before school, very early in the morning to peel, slice and "ring" 2 50 pound sacks of onions.
They were good because they were real...and fresh.

Lemon Ice Gatorade.

They brought it back to 7/11 a couple years back and I drove a longer distance than I would care to admit to buy some.

Holy frick I've been thinking I was crazy for 10 years. I swore to people that there was a clear Gatorade that tasted amazing but could never remember the name.

Not sure WTF happened to Quizno's


From an insider: Quiznos had a policy of aggressive expansion in the early to mid 2000s. A combination of the 2008/2009 financial crisis, poor franchisee relations, and competition from Subway (every Subway started installing toaster ovens) really hurt Quiznos. They sold themselves on premium ingredients at a premium price, but nobody wanted to pay $9 for a sandwich at lunch when they could go to Subway and get something similar for $5. Following that, the owner ceded much of the control to an investment group and went on to start SmashBurger with some other people.

Clearly Canadian

Apparently, it is still available, but when I used the store finder feature, it wasn’t available within 100 miles. I loved the raspberry flavor back in the 90’s.

Delaware Punch


Mandeville K-Mart had a machine that sold Delaware Punch in front of the store as late as 2007. I remember buying some there just a month or two after Katrina. The town was empty, there was debris everywhere, but that machine was just sitting there, humming and selling Delaware Punch.

When I was a kid there was a quick microwave Apple Crisp that I consumed like oxygen... if oxygen burned the roof of your mouth. I'll probably get the C because of all the tupperware I microwaved back then.
