We've still got Cherry Coke over here.
The Girl Scouts are always getting rid of my favorite cookies. Upside Down Oatmeal cookies were the best cookies ever, gone. Lemon Pastry Cremes were awesome too. Now we have "Lemonades" (Not a good substitute.)
The supermarket we frequent seems like it discontinues everything we suddenly decide we like. It's really annoying, but it happens so often I just forget eventually. It hasn't gotten rid of my iced tea yet, so I'm okay.

I used to love the candy cigarettes they used to sell at a local gas station. I absolutely loved those, I was heartbroken when they discontinued them. Big surprise they were discontinued because they thought it promoted smoking... Ugh.

Just like "Big Boss" candy cigars and if i remember correctly those candy cigarettes were also called "Fags" (which also could have caused a problem)

Dr Pepper is a king among drinks.

Haha, when they first came out here in Aus they had a promotion where you had a chance to win a dr pepper (just had to look under your cap), from the first (and only) dr pepper i bought, i ended up with 10 (i gave to family/friends all of which hated me for it cause they didn't like it either ;D)

Bugles. i loved them when i was a kid. but they stopped selling them in philadelphia. New Coke (before my time, but a classic nonetheless) Bubble Tape (i think that's what it was called) i lived on that shit when i was 6.

Vanilla coke was stopped here too. Pretty easy to make though, heres the ingredient list my mum uses; Still sell NikNaks. EDIT - Dr. Pepper is so awful it become a doctor in awful. Dont know about you guys but we call ice-cream and soft-drink (or soda) a Spider. And i have to agree about Dr. Pepper being a Doctor in awful ;D

What about Coke with Lime? I haven't seen it around but I don't know if it was discontinued or not. I used to love the candy cigarettes they used to sell at a local gas station. I absolutely loved those, I was heartbroken when they discontinued them. Big surprise they were discontinued because they thought it promoted smoking... Ugh. OMG! Those were A M A Z I N G! Bugles. i loved them when i was a kid. but they stopped selling them in philadelphia. Bubble Tape (i think that's what it was called) i lived on that shit when i was 6. Bugles aka Witch Nails FTW! I can't find them either. My local gas station still sells Bubble Tape. My niece goes crazy for it. My favorite flavor was Sour Apple.
