  Steak Ums? Or Bottle Cap candy?
  Hmm....I like this question.

  
  They totally still make steak ums! My dad used to make those for us all the time.
  
  This is why I was a fat kid.

  You can still get them in the states but I can't find them here in Canada anymore. Pizza rolls.
  
  Everything else is British food since that's where I lived as a child.

  I totally miss Jello pudding pops, too!  I loved the vanilla and the swirl.

  Yes! Pudding pops! I loved those and honestly think about them often. I liked the chocolate and vanilla swirl.

  YES!  3D Doritos!  

  I don't really super miss these things per se, but I was recently talking about them to MH and he doesn't have a clue what I'm referencing.  Does anyone remember the Squeeze-It drinks that were like semi-solid jello?  They sound completely gross now, but I enjoyed them as a kid!  Also the yogurt with the "jello" mix-ins.  It was supposed to be jello, but really they were like little gummy bears.

  What else...  Do they still make Dunkaroos?  Now those were delicious.  I used to get those in my lunch.  I can't believe people thought this was acceptable as a snack.  They were basically teddy grahams that you dunked in frosting, lol.

  Dunkaroos were awesome. I haven't seen them.
  
  Do they still make Snapple elements? With the little squishy things in it?

  I'm pretty sure we still have Dunkaroos in Canada - I've actually never tried them!

  I never tried Clear Pepsi either.

  I miss Tahiti Treat pop, but I think it still exists somewhere. Does anyone have it where you live?

  Another vote for dunkaroos.  My mom rarely bought crap like that so it was a huge deal when we got them.  

  MIL brought animal crackers over for us after DD was born.  I decided to dip them in frosting for "homemade" dunkaroos.

  Candy cigarettes. I loved those. These fruit-snack things that were basically a granola-bar sized slab of fruit snack, sometimes with "cream" swirls. Also a big thumbs up to Pudding Pops. I'd forgotten all about them until just now, but they were the bomb. The frozen jello ones were good, too.

  Oh gosh....there were these koalas that were filled with chocolate, I think they were called Aussie bears. Those were good.

  What's the deal with all the votes for 3D Doritos? I don't know if we ever had those here. What was so good about them?

  They were like little cheesy hexagons of yumminess. I think that's the shape they were? The texture was different than a Dorito and it was hollow inside. I don't know why really, but they were so good.

  Mmmm 3D doritos were like puffy doritos.

  keebler's magic middles (cookies with gooey chocolate in the inside)

  Yes! I often will look in the cookie aisle to see if they've resurrected them. lol

  I also used to love Rice Krispies Treats cereal. It was gone for awhile, I think, but I saw it sometime in the last couple years in Walmart. 

  The Mickey Mouse popsicles...not the vanilla and chocolate ones, but the fruit flavor ones in the shape of the characters.

  I found some dunkaroos at our Walmart about a year ago. I got them and they still tasted as good as they did when I was a kid.

  Omg. 3D Doritos and Elements, I forgot all about those. I miss them. Cyclone Popsicles too. I'm not sure if they make them or not, but I can't find them anywhere.
  
  They still make dunkaroos. At least in Canada they do. I bought a box when I was pregnant.

  I have no idea what Cyclone popsicles are, but I once traded a dog for a box of Twister popsicles (do they still make them?  They were name brand and my parents never bought the name brand popsicles.  The commercials made them look SO COOL).  Not my finest moment.

  Hmm... they had a solid colored center with two colored swirls on the outside.  They were all different colors though.

  You can still get steak umms! My grandma made these totally awesome sandwkches with that stuff and I can't replicate them to save my life.
  
  I would give a limb for a Hostess cupcake or a chocolate Zinger right now.

  They're coming back.  It's in the works for someone to buy them out.  I forget who.  My husband works for Entemann's so he's "in the know".

  You traded a dog for popsicles? This may be one of the best food stories I've heard. What would you dooooo, for a Klondike Bar?

  Mine is all candy. I miss those Wonder Balls that had a toy inside. They then went to stickers and/or candy inside, and then they stopped making them altogether.

  I also miss Oreo cereal.

  I'm sure there are more, but I'm drooling over a bunch that other pps are talking about.
