"Oldies" but Goodies - Where did they go?

It seems to be that everytime I fall in love with a particular food product it is removed from the shelves never to be sold again. First were my favorite pop tarts. At first I could not remember the name, but after searching the web... Chocolate Vanilla Cream! They had a chocolaty crust with creamy vanilla inside, with a vanilla frosting and choclate sprinkles to top it off. A couple of years ago I was able to find these pop tarts in Florida, and I think they had them in Belize when we were there, but I just can not find them anymore. I think that the 'Cookies and Cream' flavor is suppose to serve as a substitute, but you can NEVER substitute for the original goodness! According to Wikipedia, Kellogs discontinued this wonderful pop tart in January of 2009. Maybe I can find them somewhere and buy many many boxes to last me awhile! Then there is S'mores Crunch Cereal, made by General Mills; this was taken out of production several years ago. I have signed an online petition to bring this oh so good cereal back into my life but I do not think anyone is listening. If you desire the most perfect cereal ever made please sign the petition as well (maybe your signature will just push General Mills over the edge). I am signature 163 out of 569 so far. Kellogs tried to re create this cereal in Smorz Cereal, but they could not get the graham cracker just right and I think this has also been removed from the market. Most recently I have found that Rice Krispies Treat Cereal is no longer on my grocer's shelf. Oh and we musn't forget Klondike's Oreo Ice Cream Sandwiches... where are you!?!?!? Now... I am beginning to see Chocolate Chex disapper from the stores. Lowes (yes a grocery store in NC), Harris Teater and Krogers no longer seem to carry this fantastic cereal. I have done a web search and although I could (but won't) purchase the cereal from Ebay, it looks like Walmart may still carry it. Shhhh, I plan to go tonight and buy the whole crate ala Elaine and the sponge. Wish me luck!
