Anything: Series, video game, book, food, old toy from childhood, service, etc. Also, any series which you wish did not end, etc.
Bit of a deep cut, but Schmigadoon! was utterly brilliant and I wish they’d been given another season or three to explore more styles.
I loved it too! It was different and fun to watch
Hoy Fong Sriracha story is a hell of a ride, highly recommend checking out the wiki
Firefly! We need more seasons of that amazing show!

I used to think like you, then I saw some sit down with joss whedon and the rest of the cast where he talked about where the series would have gone if it hadn’t been axed by Fox after the first season, and man it was a WEIRD talk. Joss started going on about the eventually fate of Inara and not only was it super harsh, but Joss kept giving Inara’s actor the creepiest looks and I sware on me mum the whole table got skeeved out.
Honestly made me appreciate Serenity that much more as the cap to the series
I’d have taken that chance.
Do you remember what that interview was? I’d be interested to watch it.
I don’t remember specifically but iirc a lot of clips are found when you search for “inara firefly fate” or “inara firefly ending”
I was wondering if Firefly being the immediate de facto response to this had lived its life. It appears not.
Jodorowsky’s Dune.
The actual film, not the documentary.
I have two cookies I’d like brought back, please.
Nabisco suddenly Smores
And (one I can’t find a pic of) Chiquita made banana shortbread cookies with chocolate on the bottom in the 90s, and they were great, too.
Cornwell’s Plum Sauce. I haven’t seen it since probably 2001 and I still want it back. It was the best thing on Macaroni cheese. The closest alternative is Masterfoods BBQ sauce and it’s great but it’s never hit the same. I tried other plum sauces since there are hundreds but it seems Cornwell’s take on it was really different to everyone else’s in a way I can’t describe so I don’t know what to look for in an alternative. Even if I did find another plum sauce as good, the bottle design and logo are iconic for me and part of my childhood.
Original Special K cereal. Not the Original they call original now.
Oh, I didn’t know they changed it. Haven’t had it since I was a kid. That sucks. Seems like everyone giving bad reviews on it. It was the only non-sugar cereal that tasted good dry.
How can you diss cheerios like that
Honeynut yes, reg no. But I used to have acid reflux as a kid so I would fill OG special K into baggies and take them to school. Helped a lot. Special K tasted sugary even though they didn’t coat it in sugar, regular Cheerios didn’t.
Made me think of the multi grain Cheerios that sound like they are supposed to be healthy but straight up taste sweet like honey nut
headphone jacks in phones
Just servicability in consumer goods in general.
Yeah I have to use an adapter now
Honestly, the sd card is arguably more important. I mean, headphones, there are workarounds like adaptors or wireless. But being able to stick a 1tb sd card in is just sooo good, basically a portable PC. There is no workarounds for sd card slot.
Moto 5g stylus has both. I just bought my daughter one for Christmas. The downside is using a moto phone which have gone downhill imo since the Nexus 6. But my daughter is 10 and just wants a phone with a stylus for drawing stuff and it was only $99 with my fi plan so why not?
gone downhill imo since the Nexus 6
Nexus 6 was released October 2014. That same month, Moto Mobility was sold to Lenovo. So its not just “in your opinion” that was the start of the reduction in quality of the Moto brand.
Did not know that. That makes sense.
I still prefer them for work phones. Gestures to open the camera or turn on the flashlight are a lifesaver for me.
I def miss the twist for flashlight. I have a pixel now which I hate but it has a feature to tap the back twice. I use it for my flashlight but it doesn’t compare
Twist is camera, chop is flashlight.
How much girth does the SD card have? 👉👈
I mean, the workarounds for SD cards is just USB-C drives, or USB-C microSD card readers. But I agree, just as headphone dongles are dumb and don’t suit all needs, so is external storage.
Micro sd card readers =/= a micro sd card that you can put inside the phone. A micro sd card permanently attached to the phone via a USB-C card reader isn’t really that practical, since it can easily get loose and you can drop it. I mean I can walk around and record videos directly into the sd card if the phone has the sd card slot.
A phone can get destroyed and I still have the video. Very useful for situations like… god forbid, if you ever get in a situation of being a witness to an act of police brutality and you are recording them for evidence, and they smash your phone after you recorded a video of them. And you then run away with the broken phone. As long as the micro sd card isn’t damaged, the video is safe. Its much harder to recover a video from a broken phone’s internal storage. And by the time you do recover it, you might not be able to send it to the press before cops show up at your door to confiscate it. In contrast, an sd card can just quickily put it in a computer then you email it to journalists.
I know, this is an extreme scenario, but like its just illustrates that a sd card plugged in to an USB C card reader isnt the same, it can come loose easily.
Why? The quality was always shit. I’d rather keep the data port (Lightning/USB-C) and use an external DAC. For calls and meetings where audio quality is trash anyway, Bluetooth doesn’t necessarily degrade it enough to care.
Well that’s great because you could still do that even if they included a jack.
I have a few:
Choco Tacos: some places have been rumored to have brought this back
Mountain Dew Pitch Black. Reintroduced and limited.
Heroes franchise/series. Creator is rumored to be bringing it back.
‘I am not okay with this’ Netflix series based on a grophic novel.
Wish I had tried Pepsi Blue. Grew up in the 90’s but never tried it.
Edit to add: The OG version of GTA San Andreas uncensored. My buddy had a copy we would play but I never got my hands on a copy of my own. If owned this would be a collector’d item.
Never heard of Pepsi Blue but I remember Crystal Pepsi
Was t crystal Pepsi just reg but clear. Did it taste different?
I remember it tasting just like Pepsi, but it was a little less syrupy in it’s consistency. I loved the stuff as a kid.
It was sweeter. Like, you were expecting lemon-lime of Sprite or 7up, but you got the sugary caramel of Pepsi. Almost like clear cream soda, but without the strong vanilla flavor.
Tastes the exact same as regular Pepsi if I remember correctly
Same, IIRC.
Pepsi Blue was actually in 2002 era. But as someone born in the 90s I should have at least heard of it. It was berry flavored they discontinued it 2004 which sucks. It would def make a good comeback.
I remember pepsi blue existing but I don’t remember ever wanting to buy it. I did probably try it at some point, but neither of the restaurants I worked at during those years carried it.
Also the limited time Dr Pepper Dark Berry for Jurrasic World. Closest thing. When that came out I looked up sodas/colas that were berry flavored and discovered Pepsi Blue.
idk if it’s the same thing but in the UK we had a limited run of “electric” pepsi a few months ago that was dyed blue, everyone I know assumed they were just trying to shift a bad batch as a limited edition drink.
Pitch Black was my jam!
I prefer the original over Pitch Black II. But both are great. PBII tastes more like Baja Blast. The original was a lot more sour.
OG Pitch Black was my favorite. They had it at a local gas station: Wawa near me last year not the second but the original. I loved it so much as a kid. I cut out the wrapper and the plastic from the bottle and flattened it and glued it to a magnet. Lol.
‘I am not okay with this’
God, yes! I don’t actually know what any of the numbers are, but I’m convinced that if this hadn’t come out during the pandemic we would have absolutely gotten more.
I originally didnt know it came from a graphic novel. But the whole story just ends on a cliff hanger…
Milk Duds that take effort to chew
I’m very disappointed by the lack of ‘The Middleman’ here. A very fun show with a very spunky Natalie Morales. Based on the graphic novels by Javier Grillo-Marxuach and Les McClaine, but the best part was that Javier Grillo-Marxuach was the show runner so it really didn’t lose that crazy fun factor of comic books nuttiness. Seriously rock eating aliens, zombie flying fish, boy bands trying to take over the world. It only got 12 Episodes and it’s still got 100% on rotten tomatoes and even over an 8 on IMDb.
I’m not a fast food person, but the McDonald’s Arch Deluxe was amazing. I’d love to have one again. Also Pepsi Kona (coffee-flavored Pepsi) was really good.
I miss things having actual buttons instead of touchscreen - most commonly, car dashboards. But even my microwave’s interface has a touchscreen feel. It’s not an actual screen but the “buttons” don’t need to be pressed so much as grazed, or sometimes my finger being near the button is enough to “press” it. So it ends up in a lot of false inputs that I have to clear out and start over. I have to be very deliberate which slows down my ability to use the stupid thing. And I mostly only use it as a kitchen timer, I can’t imagine how annoyed I’d be if I used it more frequently!
So yeah, buttons.
Better off ted. Fantastic show.
Ahh hells yeah
I think a remake or sequel of Samurai Pizza Cats would be golden.
Avatar The Last Airbender.
61 episodes was far too few. That show could have rivaled Simpsons if they let it.
They’re bringing it back! I think the original creators too!
I just hope it’s better than Korra. I personally didn’t like most of that avatar storyline. Ang is the best haha
