Another snack that has inspired a petition for a revival is Black Pepper Jack Doritos. This flavor of Dorito has a real kick as these Doritos blend black pepper and pepper jack cheese for a new flavor. They had no trans fats or cholesterol. This flavor of Doritos was discontinued in 2008, just ten years after its release in 1998.
The reason Black Pepper Jack Doritos were taken off the market was because of a lack of people purchasing this specific flavor.
Fruitopia
Made by Coca Cola, Fruitopia was introduced in 1994 and discontinued eleven years later in 2003. The drink was targeted at the young adult crowd. The drink itself was somewhat of a competitor for another drink, the more-popular Snapple. Some flavors were remade under the Minute Maid moniker after discontinuation. Most were abandoned in favor of Minute Maid, which ended up being the reason the label vanished.
The flavored tea drink market became more of Snapple's field of expertise, and the remaining Fruitopia labels are only available at McDonald's.
Carnation Breakfast Bars
Nestle's Carnation Breakfast Bars were a favorite from the eighties. They were terribly unhealthy, sugar-wise, though they were easy to eat on the go, which made them so famous. Because of their demand, Carnation Breakfast Bars have been the inspiration behind a petition on Change.org. The petition calls for a refrain from all Nestle products until they start making Carnation Breakfast Bars again.
The petition wasn't successful enough to bring them back, though, since Nestle products are so widely consumed. It remains debatable whether they could make a comeback in today's climate, with their sugary, carb-heavy snack.
Crispy M&M's
These M&M's were larger than others of their kind, and they had a crispy wafer in the middle and coated with milk chocolate. Crispy M&M's hit the shelves in 1999, and six years later, they were discontinued in the U.S., though they did make a brief comeback in 2015. After high demand from fans, Crispy M&M's were reinstated back in 2015.
After a successful petition to get them back, there are now crunchy M&M's in three flavors: raspberry, espresso, and birthday cake.
Wonder Ball
The Wonder Ball is one of those toys that had its heyday in the nineties; looking back; it was probably quite dangerous—the Wonder Ball before being withdrawn from the market due to choking hazards. The chocolate candy exterior always kept tiny toys inside the hollow part of its egg-shape.
Presumably, some kids choked on the trinkets, and that was enough to scare the manufacturers into recalling them off the shelves before reintroducing them with candy instead of the little toys. Frankford Candy & Chocolate eventually bought the brand in 2004.
