There's nothing quite like enjoying some food you like. It's one of life's pleasures.

It'll always be there for you, right?

Plot twist: Nope! Foods get discontinued all the time. And the heartbreak this leaves behind is real.

People told us all about the foods they miss after Redditor Artistic_Flood asked the online community,

"What's the BEST discontinued food you miss?"

"Remember those?"

"HOSTESS PIES! Remember those? They came in lemon, apple, cherry, and (my personal favorite) blackberry. I've begun craving that sweet packet of nostalgia since I became pregnant only to learn they no longer exist."

RandomOregonian

I remember them, especially why I didn't eat them, hahaha!

"Remember the old version of the apple pie at Mcdonald's? It was like the hostess pie but deep-fried. It was awesome. "

"Then they changed the recipe to make the crust flaky -- blech. Then I realized the apple empanada at Taco Bell was pretty similar. Then they discontinued them!"

GravityTracker

I remember these. They were pretty good, but then again... I was young.

I'm an adult now, with different taste buds. I don't think trying one today would end well.

"Those different types..."

"Those different types of cereal straws. Those things were amazing."

"They changed the recipe..."

"They changed the recipe for Cadbury creme eggs a few years ago. They still exist as a brand, but the new ones are garbage."

This doesn't surprise me. This is why we can't have nice things.

"The stuff..."

"Dunkaroos. The stuff they brought back into the stores is NOT the same as it was."

"The green apple ones..."

"Lime green Skittles. The green apple ones just overpower the rest and don't mesh at all."

TitaniumTriforce

"The square pizza..."

"Old Totino's pizza. Like when they were circular? The square pizza they have now is awful compared to the old version."

Probably a change in the quality of ingredients that came with that change. A shame.

"I still think about..."

"I still think about my favorite (now discontinued) Ben & Jerry's flavor, oatmeal cookie chunk. Apparently, it is one of the company's most missed flavors. They discontinued it because the supplier that made the cookies went out of business."

PregnantSilence

I've never had this, and now I am sad that I haven't! Sounds so, so good.

"Not the ones..."

"Burger King's Italian chicken sandwich. Not the ones they keep experimenting with the last few years but the original one from the '90s."

Kirklikesthis

"Those really crunchy..."

"Those really crunchy potato chips cooked in pure peanut oil were the best. Peanut allergies ruined that. I blame the victims for this one."

Are any of these suggestions sending your taste buds on a trip down memory lane? If you're feeling a little sad and wistful, then we're sorry.

Nothing, certainly not the products we've enjoyed, lasts forever.

Some things are deceptively simple.

Oh, skydiving? That's easy.

Love yourself? Simple.

Who can't open a can of pickles?

ME! ME! That's who. I can't do any of the above simply.

It's all hard. And you know it too.

It's just designed to" look" easy only to bamboozle us.

Approach everything as a burden and live by a motto...

People Explain Which Movies They Just Did Not Understand At All

Art is subjective.

As much as movies are universally loved, there are some that leave a big question mark.

Sometimes films, plots, and characters make no sense. AT ALL.

And that is uncomfortable for the ego.

Example...

Howard's End.

Is it art?

Am I just dumb?

Why do I care?

They say it's hard for workers to get fired from their jobs. That is unless, of course, the employee is self-sabotaging and has nothing at stake.

While there are many unemployed people desperately looking for work, there are apparently just as many of those who want nothing more than to leave a situation that makes them miserable, despite having a steady paycheck.

A trial can hinge on one simple piece of information.

All it could take for a suspect to walk free or go to jail for the rest of their lives is one single fact.

With this in mind, some lawyers will do their best to make sure that this information is buried, legally and ethically one hopes, and will never be brought up in trial.

However, for this to happen, Lawyers will still need to know this piece of information from their clients, as it otherwise could be brought up by the prosecution, effectively ending the case.
