Cheez Wiz is sold like crazy here in Canada. In fact my wife’s family owned a burger stand where they used it for the cheese on burgers. Went through it by the pallet load, stand still going strong and still using Cheez Wiz
@@richardc8795 ahh the typical southern Ontario arrogance. I may have grown up in rural northwestern Ontario, Kenora if you can think past Barrie, live in Winnipeg now but I’m sure to a southern Ontario person you still consider that rural
want to bet that the ghostbuster key lime slime were just repackaged Shrek Twinkies? I had the ones with the Marshmellow stuff in it that was also with the promotion it felt kind of rubbery
Yep! That’s why Mountain Dew is only found in with the Pepsi products in stores. And why both Coke and Pepsi stock their own products in most stores, to make sure only THEIR products are in their paid for vendor shelves.
I grew up with a healthy dose of candy cigarettes, and big league chew. Though I have never smoked a single cigarette my entire life. Though it likely led to a sugar addiction! 😆
The TMNT pies were awesome and many 80s and 90s kids have fond memories of them. The green frosting on the pie what is the main selling point. Guess this is what happens when you get some gen z idiots to write your videos.
WatchMojo did a video on that before, it wasn’t a fail due to marketing, but unfortunate circumstances. It was doing well before the 80’s, then came the disease with a similar sounding name, though spelled differently. If not for the disease, then the candy might’ve lasted longer, maybe up to now even. So that candy really doesn’t belong here.
@@whitewolf3051 So does anyone know why it was so effective as a dieting "ayd"? It was laced with lidocaine, which numbed your tongue and made food less appealing. No kidding, that's true, look it up.
When I was younger, Shake Em Fries were the shit! My sister and I would always beg our mom to take us to BK. We also liked the EZ Squirt Ketchup, green and red burgers and fries were just so funny. We also had a butter from Parkay that was different colors too, that just made making a plate of food so fun as a kid.
I actually loved Crystal Pepsi, it was soda that I could drink without the guilt. When it first came out, I was in my last year of high school, and everyday afterschool, my best friend and me would go to our favorite neighborhood store and I would buy my favorite candy bar and a crystal pepsi, boy those were the days!!
I got a feeling that with the candy cigarette part that if someone wanted to play that game called “would you rather?“ that if one of the questions was “would you rather smoke a real cigarette or try a candy cigarette?” that most of the people who get asked that question would pick “smoke a real cigarette” every single dang time! Please keep in mind that I’m not a smoker myself!
The worst thing to happen to Coka Cola was putting it into plastic. Two liter plastic bottles changes the flavor...and not in a good way. I will only buy Coke in cans. If I can find bottles I will buy those.
I got to say as a kid I loved the teenage mutant Ninja turtles pies... And as a teenager Pepsi blue was amazing.. The rest of the stuff on this list is 🤢..
In Vietnam, we spent over 330 days in the jungle eating LRPS (look it up) ... once in awhile we would go to a "fire support base" to help secure it's perimeter on the DMZ ... once in a blue moon they would bring a converted container on a trailer/semi, that was a small shop with A1 Steak Sauce, film and other goodies ... and if we got lucky; Cheez Whiz in this spout-top can. I'm a retired teacher here in Australia (after 9 years US Army), but my sister in the USA said they sell it at Walmart??? I'm sure after only eating dehydrated food meals... that little snack was great ...
Man, we were obsessed with Surge in my grade school in the 90's but I don't remember what it actually tasted like. Many of us were specifically not allowed to have Mountain Dew by our parents but they didn't stop us from getting Surge.
As a Brit, I miss Walkers Crisps where you add the salt and shake em' up. This opened up options to unseasoned chips to add whatever you wanted. Paprika was my go to.
Most of the food items mentioned in this video are "limited edition" or obvious gimics and, as expected, disappear in a short time. And because of that, they wouldn't be considered a failure.
I saw the candy cigarettes in the thumbnail and was going what the? I know people that grew up with those way back when and loved them, yet never picked up an actual cigarette. since covid, Diet soda went away and the "zero sugar" crap that replaced it tastes like gasoline and turpentine. even more so than regular coke and Pepsi, it's foul.
Diet soda hasn't gone away at all - they sell it right next to the Zero Sugar stuff! No idea what the actual difference is since the ingredients are the same, but I know people that will fight you over Diet Coke and Coke Zero tasting completely different (spoiler: they don't).
@@MarkZickefoose At most stores, the good diet soda is gone. Diet Root Beer, Diet Dr Pepper Cherry Vanilla, either way, coke and Pepsi diet or zero all taste like gasoline and turpentine.
@@englishatheart no soda is good. its all chemicals and bad things, but diet tastes better than regular soda. regular tastes like gasoline and turpentine.
Fifty years ago an Australian television comedy show, The Aunty Jack Show, included a segment in which one of the characters advertised a product known as "Captain Curd's Fish Milkshakes". Since then life has imitated art.
3:40 I actually really love that they SHOWED YOU that it could be hot, use a kitchen towel or something before handling 😂, you don’t see that these days LOL 10:36 the bubble gum jug! 😍 18:00 crystal Pepsi wasn’t that bad. When they brought it back for a while less than ten years ago I tried it again and it was tasty. I appreciate the lack of caramel color too 😊. It was good. If it was still for sale I’d be buying it occasionally for sure.
12:26 I remember the ONLY place I could find Tru Blood was at Hot Topic when it was out. And yes, because I loved the series, I bought a pack. I don’t remember hating it, I think it was supposed to taste like blood orange. Buuuuut yeah, I never bought it again… it was for the gimmick. And it was just too expensive, ESPECIALLY being sold at Hot Topic. I think my local store pulled it pretty quickly, and just focused on the other merch. Might still have my green Merlott’s Bar and Grill half apron somewhere, but the shirt is gone, sadly.
14:54 See, this is the thing, Japan and South Korea do the carbonated milk thing CORRECTLY. Milkis and Sangaria Royal Milk Tea are actually REALLY good! Also… 15:25 NOPE! We in the TMNT fandom actually want these BACK! The pies were INSANELY good! The vanilla pudding filling was dang tasty! Of ALL of the snacks that came out with the franchise, THIS is the one we DO want back.
The thing I remember most about Pepsi Blue is the odd carbonation. It seemed more bubbly than other soft drinks, and not in a good way. May have just been my experience, IDK.
In Coke's defense, New Coke actually beat Pepsi in blind taste tests. It wasn't until people found out that that new formula was replacing the old one that they got upset about it.
the maxwell one was just ahead of it's time because cold canned coffee is selling really well which that maxwell thing pretty much was and really using movie tied in product as a fali because of it short run when it was always going to be short and they didn't taste bad at all it just food coloring
New coke came back though. and they made classic coke, and original coke ( both the same but a % of people didn't notice) There's the chocolate cigarrettes wrapped in rice paper, the boxes have amazing art work, and people would light them to melt the chocolate.
I mean right or wrong candy cigarettes have been around for over a hundred years so I couldn't consider that a fail. 3d Doritos like you said came back in 2020. Their popular enough for Frito-Lay to bring back so again not a fail. When Pepsi saw the success of Mountain Dew Code Red they had to make their own. Um Frito-Lay owns Pepsi and mountain Dew duh. Considering the cappuccino potato chips or a part of Frito-Lay's vote your flavor it just didn't win so I wouldn't consider that a fail.
Honestly, when they brought back New Coke as a limited edition collectors item for Stranger Things Season 2, I managed to snag some and tried it. It honestly just tasted virtually indistinguishable from Pepsi. Considering everyone saying they preferred Pepsi in blind taste tests, I guess that's probably what they were going for.
Yeah the candy cigarettes worked. Born in 72 and by 92 had started. Stopped a decade ago with PS commercials about people's long-term effects holes in throats and losing fingertips....yeah that worked too.💯🙏🏾🙏🏾
I actually liked Coca Cola Blak! It had a slight aftertaste but I still enjoyed it. Coke released another coffee-flavored cola that I liked better in 2021 called Coca Cola with Coffee but it was discontinued the following year. Maybe most people are not fans, but I wish that a coffee-flavored Coke had stayed on the market!
Honestly Chocolate with Cheese and Onion crisp bits is actually really good. It’s one of those things that sounds disgusting but you just have to try it to get it. It’s basically just like a sweeter version of a chocolate flavoured cheesecake, although some people compare it more to a salted caramel flavour, it’s really not that bad. I think it’s the onion part of it that puts people off but honestly there is absolutely no taste of onion in it at all.
Cheez Whiz is still sold in both BC and Alberta for sure (not sure about the rest of Canada), and is still very popular - and, btw, it's still made with real cheese...
I won a copy of WCW Nitro on N64 from a bottle cap of Surge that I got in a vending machine. Still can't believe they actually sent me the game for sending a winning bottle cap to them. Surge forever has my loyal following since.
Cheez Whiz had it's day. My uncle was an executive for RJ / Nabisco in the 80's and had his secretary mail me boxes of snacks like everything you could imagine, including Cheeze Whiz. they never called it cheese because it wasn't Fun while it lasted and it was fantastic to mix into popcorn. Nobody thought it was a health food and it was never promoted as such
I get why it flopped but now that I'm a chronically exhausted adult/college student with ADHD to boot, I would drink the crap out of Pepsi AM if it was still around. For some reason my body doesn't tolerate the caffeine in coffee very well -- I do love the taste of coffee though -- but I can have energy drinks and not have the anxiety jitters (as long as they're not over 200mg in a can). But thank God we have Mountain Dew Kickstart though!! Those have saved my butt countless times. Edit: The rebooted Coke with coffee they had out a few years ago? I actually really liked those.
My mother made my lunch for school everyday with a pressed beef and Mexican Cheese Whiz. It was my favorite. It’s a shame they don’t make the Mexican flavor anymore.

My middle school lunchroom was littered with Surge cans. Never would be allowed in schools today.
I heard it killed sperm cells and shrank your sac so I stopped drinking it
Not really true. They still have mountain dew, and it's basically the same thing.
Mello Yello already existed. The same type of citrus beverage made by Coca-Cola, but not as popular as Mountain Dew.
@@arvurebantra7639j not even close
Wasn't allowed in mine back in the day. :(
Everyone I knew loved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Pies when I was a kid. They were just vanilla pies coated in a green glaze.
“Once Pepsi learned about mountain dew red” Mountain Dew is literally owned by Pepsi..
Yep! That’s why Mountain Dew is only found in with the Pepsi products in stores. And why both Coke and Pepsi stock their own products in most stores, to make sure only THEIR products are in their paid for vendor shelves.

I agree the pies were delicious.
Indeed-what’s not to love about a pie pastry filled with creamy vanilla pudding then blanketed in a sweet green-hued sugar glaze?
The original 3D doritos were great! The ones they brought back were garbage and were nothing but bugles
Yep the taste and texture were completely different.
The original 3D Doritos were just a cheesy flavored Bugle.
They were a different texture Duke. They phoned it in for the comeback
Im a child of the 80s. Candy cigs and chocolate cigs were around too. Licorice cigars were around too.
Indeed they were. There was also at one point, in the late 70's, a sweet that looked like and came in packet the same as hand-rolling tobacco.
As a smoker, can I sue the candy company for early enticement? 😂😂😂
@@soupdragonuk Big League Chew still exists and its whole schtick is looking like a pouch of chewing tobacco.
There was also this weird gum cigarette that if you blew into it, there was enough space to make the sugar powder come out like smoke lol
I only recall the chalky tasting candy cigarettes. I tried the coffee flavored potato chips, not fond of them.
I used to freebase TMNT pies as a kid! They were awesome
“Freebase”?
I think Ayds should be on the list. Ayds is the dietery candy.
WatchMojo did a video on that before, it wasn’t a fail due to marketing, but unfortunate circumstances. It was doing well before the 80’s, then came the disease with a similar sounding name, though spelled differently. If not for the disease, then the candy might’ve lasted longer, maybe up to now even.

Unlucky because of its name. History can be so weird.

Not a good name though.

"Mountain Dew introduced their Code Red flavour. When Pepsi saw that..." Mountain Dew IS Pepsi!

They turned around and said as much during the "surge" section 😂
I would absolutely buy Coors as a sparkling water. It'd be a great alternative at a party, especially for a recovering alcoholic like myself.
This person never had turtle pie obviously. They were amazing
Thank you!
My friends and I all loved them. They were fantastic.
TMNT Pie is just a pie pastry filled with vanilla pudding-then coated in a green-hued sugar glaze! What’s not to love?
I bought a bottle of Tru Blood when it came out and still have it unopened and displayed on my shelf. I think it looks cool as a prop
Same!
I had to drink it (because I'm not letting stuff go to waste) but kept the bottle. I also have a pint glass.
The ironic part is Pepsi blue came back out around near when corona hit and I grabbed a case around Christmas time

I won a copy of WCW Nitro on N64 from a bottle cap of Surge that I got in a vending machine. Still can't believe they actually sent me the game for sending a winning bottle cap to them. Surge forever has my loyal following since.
You have not lived until you've had some Tayto chocolate!
Fun Fact: Before Tenacious D was a thing, a young Kyle Glass appeared in the 7Up Gold commercial.
11:06 Seriously, why mix a stimulant with a depressant? It's like a legal speedball.
Cheez Whiz had it's day. My uncle was an executive for RJ / Nabisco in the 80's and had his secretary mail me boxes of snacks like everything you could imagine, including Cheeze Whiz. they never called it cheese because it wasn't Fun while it lasted and it was fantastic to mix into popcorn. Nobody thought it was a health food and it was never promoted as such
Who's making these lists? They clearly are under 21 and never experienced any of these themselves
I get why it flopped but now that I'm a chronically exhausted adult/college student with ADHD to boot, I would drink the crap out of Pepsi AM if it was still around. For some reason my body doesn't tolerate the caffeine in coffee very well -- I do love the taste of coffee though -- but I can have energy drinks and not have the anxiety jitters (as long as they're not over 200mg in a can). But thank God we have Mountain Dew Kickstart though!! Those have saved my butt countless times.
Edit: The rebooted Coke with coffee they had out a few years ago? I actually really liked those.
Man I loved them candy sticks, and yes, that's where my smoke habit started from loooool
10:32 Hubble bubble jug was my favorite 😂
My mother made my lunch for school everyday with a pressed beef and Mexican Cheese Whiz. It was my favorite. It’s a shame they don’t make the Mexican flavor anymore.
