All is great until your hard drive crashes......I've lost a ton of tunes over the past ten years from that happening....
I've had it happen as well. Speaking of I'm overdue for putting my tunes on the external hard drive backup.

The Taco Bell Enchirito....the only thing my Dad would eat there
They still have a "Mexican pizza" on the menu, but it's not the Pizzazz Pizza which I would call an extinct brand too.

And regarding another extinct fast food brand, I used to love the McDLT.

Other than the streaming part we were still with you until the last few months. We've decided to move more digital on everything just to have less stuff in our house. We are still keeping a lot of our books but we're going to focus more on reading one and then donating/selling it.
When we moved most recently, we donated every physical book in our house to the North Shelby Library. It felt good to reduce the clutter, but I do regret letting go of my SciFi collection which included books dating back to the 1940's. I had quite a Heinlein collection. Oh well.

used to LOVE little debbie Chocolate Twins.. I called and asked what happened to them years ago as they were being faded out. They suggested i try their "banana twins".. No thx. Another product that appears to be fading are Sunbeam Dinner Rolls. It's like looking for gold. Cant even find them at the Flowers Bakery.

You can still get an Enchirito. Even though it's not on the menu, they will still make it. It comes out looking a little different from the one pictured, and with no olives, but it's really good.

As for my entry, here's another one for the Doritos column:

I know there are a few stores still around (not in my area), but I miss Blockbuster. We loved to go every week and walk the outer perimeter of the store. It was fun to see what new movies came out and to get that last copy of a new release.
And checking the return box to see if that movie that you just have to watch tonight has been returned but not put back on the shelf yet. :)

Except that it used to be a corn tortilla. Now they only use flour torts.

My wife's family got me hooked on these with olives & cheese (one cheese cube, olive, & slice of sausage together on a toothpick) about the same time we stopped seeing them in stores around here:

KFC Spicy Big Crunch with the zinger sauce. Right out of high school my friends & I were there every other day getting them.

I had forgotten what it was called & just remembered Zinger from the sauce so I got all excited when they were advertising the Zinger sandwich was back a few months ago. I was super bummed to find out it was just a stupid regular spicy chicken sandwich with no sauce.
