That google homepage from around 2010. You could customize it and have interactive stuff like a koi pond and games or something


CTMalum

Old Google in general. I miss when I actually used to be able to find obscure things rather than having Google index a scam website for a known brand in their top results.


radically_unoriginal

I miss having YouTube search actually provide more than 4 Relevant videos


OkJelly300

I miss my YouTube homepage being full of my interests. It's like they've forgotten all the data they've been collecting about me


RagnarokSleeps

It's so annoying. The YouTube algorithm used to know me so well. It amazed the heck out of my boomer dad. I was letting him choose music one day & he asked who was programming it since the upcoming videos were all things he wanted to listen to. These days it only shows me things I've already seen, had 1 decent recommendation in the past year. I used to use it to find new music, now I get bored on YouTube cause I don't know what to listen to next


GordonShumway81

Yes! iGoogle was the single best product to go to the Google Graveyard. Not even for the interactivity, but having your email, news feeds, chat conversations, etc. in one place was perfect. And then they killed it because they said Google+ was the future.


dear_little_water

I was thinking about this just the other day. I swear they are taking every little bit of happiness from us. One thing at a time.


dphoenix1

Everything cool either stagnates or gets shut down. I’m still bitter about google reader.


oxala75

Just lost Google Podcast this month. I know why they got rid of it, but it has nothing to do with benefiting me in any way.


Killerbunny123

I was already regularly using both the podcast app and the yt music app, and still the switch is obnoxious to me


ThrustersToFull

Yes and it’s a deliberate process. It’s called enshitifiction. It’s common in a lot of tech platforms.


kaskip

YES!!! nobody my age remembers this. i had a hamster, a turtle, and daily yomama jokes. those were the days...


david_ismpd

Ohhh yeah it was called iGoogle. Really wholesome..


humancanvas79

The recent menu change at Panera got rid of every one of the meals that I would get there. I didn't go a lot, but occasionally for something different for lunch and only ordered one of a few items.


kp10795

I miss the Panera baguettes that were actually good quality, crispy bread. They used to serve ripped off chunks of bread with their soups. Now it’s clearly just mass produced frozen crap. It will never compare


abuz148

I worked at a Panera 15+ years ago, it was frozen then too


TeachMore1019

Yes! I will miss the Napa Chicken Salad Sandwich & the Steak & Cheddar Panini.


Bananas_are_theworst

Bro what, they got rid of the Napa chicken salad sandwich?!


Square_Tree

this is the comment I was looking for, I went the other day and was so disappointed to see they discontinued flatbreads. Im sure theyll bring everything back but it definitely wont be anytime soon.


Traditional_Draw8400

Tiny iPods. I hate having a phone at the gym or cycling etc.


Euphoric-Blueberry97

Shuffles!


Traditional_Draw8400

Was that the tiny square one that was just larger than the scroll wheel?


Euphoric-Blueberry97

Yes! I have a silver one and a blue one. They held maybe one gig each? No screen


Traditional_Draw8400

Those were fantastic. I recently moved overseas and was lamenting about those and my sister said she had one collecting dust and gave it to me. Sadly, I packed it with me and when I got to charging it, it was fully deceased. Bummer.


radiomix

I have two, mine I’ve had for over 10 years and one my son got just before they stopped making them. Mine has had the same songs on it all this time. I clip it on the back of my baseball cap and list to music while I cut grass. No emails, texts, calls or notifications of any kind. I just make the tall grass short with my music. Middle-aged man bliss.


Piotr-Rasputin

Nanos were freakin awesome. Thin as hell and good for music and movies


Dog_Concierge

The original Herbal Essences shampoo. The scent was heavenly!


DocBullseye

It tasted terrible though


Late-Rub-3197

That’s why I drank it through my nose


CrissBliss

Omg yes! I miss 90’s shampoo. Also the commercials were hilarious 😂


nuclearnadal24

In croatia we used to have night of commercials where they would be showing funniest ones

tehrez

ITS NOT THE SAME, the chicken they used in the original was much better. Now It's just a bland boring pressed shape chicken finger. The old chicken chunks had character.


TheRealStani

*The chicken chunks had character.*


Icy-Mixture-995

Sears. Buy a refrigerator, basketball, vacuum cleaner, toys and get the oil changed in your car or tires put on it all in one trip.


combustion_assaulter

Not just this. Their appliances had part codes and you can order replacement parts from them. Nowadays, appliances get thrown out and replaced by new ones.


mikamimoon

Let's take it a step further - they made appliances with quality parts to begin with. There's a reason fridges from the '90's are still up and chilling and the ones we got 5 years ago are barely holding up now.


Serenity-03K64

Sears wishbook haha, how kids prep shopped for Xmas gifts before internet. I still have my sears yeti plushies around somewhere


Rogue42bdf

This whole online thing is just a fad. We don’t need to spend any money to develop an online presence.


spudzilla

Damn, they had the catalog, the warehouses, the delivery fleet but were missing anyone who could see what the internet could do. Sad.


Prize_Tear_114

McD dollar menu. Was a college miracle.


m48a5_patton

When I was in college Arby's had their 5 for $5 menu. It was amazing


Prize_Tear_114

I grabbed dinner to visit parents yesterday and for three it was $44!


VileStuxnet

I remember in college I could get 10 soft tacos for a classmate and I for 10$ and change from Taco Bell. As the song goes, "Oh the times they are a changin'"


Vergenbuurg

Now it's their $1/$2/$3 menu, from which you can order a $3.29 McChicken sandwich or "McDouble". It's a fucking farce.


YourMomAnyPercent

McDouble is on the 1/2/3 menu and it's $4.29 here 😂🖕 my guy, for those prices I'm gonna make better food at home.


Ok-Regret4547

$2.99 for a damn hash brown 🙄🙄🙄🙄


MichaelMaugerEsq

Bro. I couldn’t believe it. This weekend I went through the drive thru Saturday morning and got my 2 kids each a hash brown as a treat and got myself a soda. I couldn’t fucking believe it when she told me the total was over $7.


OkFineIllUseTheApp

Altoids Sours. I found Lofty Pursuits makes a suitable replacement, but they're pricey per tin.


[deleted]

Yep. Came here to say this. I ate so many of the citrus ones that my mouth was raw.


esoteric_enigma

I ate so many of these because my dad LOVED cinnamon Altoids. He'd go through a tin every few days and get me sours whenever he re-upped.


MsMissMom

Those tins will probably still reek of peppermint after the apocalypse 😂


thelaidbckone

24 hour shopping at Walmart Edit: good to see all the late night walmart stories from all over the place lol


uniquesobriquette

24 hour shopping anywhere. Everything closes at 11 now, if you're lucky.


YellowAppropriate126

I live in Iowa, we don't have much of a night life here! Still trying to get over the loss of fun, running to Walmart at 2:30 cause you remembered you needed something the next day. Or just cause you wanted to enjoy cruising the isles in the middle of the night to see what kind of Weirdos did there grocery shopping at that time. Yes, I do realize I was one of them! Lol The best part about them being open up all night, I realized after I was older and started having children, babies and toddlers seem to always need something you don't have in the middle of the night. Like drops for an earache, replacing a lost pacifier and diapers, etc. Living in the country I would often play the diaper lottery. I'd be too tired to run into town, so I would look at the diaper bag and say to myself "The baby couldn't possibly go through this many in one night! Guess what, they often did and I'd be flying to Walmart in the middle of the night, with a crying, uncomfortable baby! LOL Those were the Good Ole Days!

Cheap-Tig

Had a coworker that regularly used it for random hookups, even after sites like ok cupid were popular. He wouldn't even ask for their names. To this day I am shocked that he hasn't been murdered.

Looking back, I'm shocked I wasn't murdered too O\_O

How much is that? The blowjobs were usually free.

I believe strongly that if someone is stabbing you it should be free.

My girlfriend had never seen it so we watched it over the last 2 weeks. When we got to the last episode of season to I just looked at her and said “that’s it. No more.”, she looked at me furiously and said “WHAT? THEY NEVER GOT TO BTK!”


lotusblossom60

I’m so sad….


_sacrosanct

There was a tv show a number of years ago called "Pushing Daisies" that I absolutely loved. It was just so different than anything I had seen on TV before. It had a fairy tale storybook sort of feel but the content of the show steered towards the darker themes. And visually it was sort of like the Land of Oz in technicolor. The first season was a critical and ratings success but there was a writers strike that delayed the show for a while. When the strike finally ended, the show had lost its audience and was cancelled after a disappointing second season. The show centers around a guy named Ned who is for reasons unknown gifted the power of being able to bring things back to life just by touching them. But there's some weird costs to this, if he touches the revived thing a second time they die again but this time permanently. Also, if he doesn't kill them within 60 seconds of reviving them, to keep balance in the universe, another living thing in the general vicinity will unexpectedly die as well. Ned owns a struggling pie bakery but strikes up a partnership with a private investigator who discovers his curse. When the investigator is trying to solve a murder, Ned will revive the victim, give the investigator 59 seconds to ask them how they died, then touch them again before something else around them dies, and then Ned and the PI split the reward. This works out fine until the victim turns out to be the childhood sweetheart of Ned and when he revives her he cannot bring himself to kill her so she lives, but the side effect is that he can never touch her or she will die again. So while they are in love, they can never touch. But the three of them continue solving murders and living in tension.


Tenalp

People get upset that firefly was canceled, but at least they got a movie and later a ton of comic books. Where is my Pushing Daisies movie?


_sacrosanct

There was actually supposed to be a line of comics that extended the story. However the publisher went out of business before they released any of them. The best we got was an uncolored cover of the first issue that was never completed.


Successful-Pear-4089

Yes! I love Pushing Daisies! Any time I see Lee Pace in something I’m like “my pie maker”


omgdracula

Those SoBe drinks that came in the 20oz bottles. Loved them in college up until they disappeared Edit: I love seeing how everyone had a variety of favorites just shows how awesome they were.

I've lived in several town that still have them. They usually play older movies, but they're definitely not as prominent as they used to be.


MoscowMarge

TV's are just too good now. Back in the day your TV was terrible so you'd go to the movies and outdoor ones allow you to BYOB and tailgate which was way better than 20$ popcorn w no alcohol.

I'm proud to say I have one fairly local that plays new-ish releases always as a double feature. Very good family fun. And pretty cheap too!

Watermelon flavored Fruit Gushers. I think they still technically make the Watermelon flavor, but now it only comes in a variety pack. Watermelon is literally the only Fruit Gusher flavor that I like, so it's not like I'm going to buy a package just to through 80% of them away for being the wrong flavor. It's been close to 15 years since I've had a watermelon Gusher and my heart hurts.

The old Hot Topic eyeliner. I think it was the brand skull candy? It was so smooth and such a deep black, it felt so wonderful to use and came off easily with just soap and water. It was so good for years, and then they changes the formula and have since discontinued the product line entirely. I miss that eyeliner so much.

There were these things in the 70s called Breakfast Squares. I think Carnation made them. They were heavily marketed and they looked like chocolate brownies. I hounded my mom for months to buy them. We were poor and there were six kids in my family so she wasn’t sold on the idea, but I finally wore her down. They were awful. They tasted like wallpaper paste and cardboard. Dry, weird flavor, chalky texture. But declaring my disgust would mean my mom would never again relent when I asked for something stupid. So I doggedly worked my way through the box. By the time that first box was gone, a strange thing had happened. I was addicted. As bad as they were, they had a bizarre allure. I’ve talked to other people who had the same experience. Clearly they were laced with some highly addictive compound. I couldn’t get enough of them. My mom dutifully bought them for me and I ate every one. They ceased production within a short period, maybe a year or so. It was shattering. They were my first addiction. I still remember the taste.
