My mom is in a marketing class and she is needing a list of products (movies, tv, food, etc,) that have been discontiued and are no longer on the market.  I know that people on this board are very good with "trivia" like this.  Please help.  The problem is, I need this asap!

Thanks!

OK...

Danish Go Rounds-Made by Kellogg's up until 1976.  They were the sister product to Pop-Tarts.  Basiclly they were tubes of Pop-Tart dough, filled with Pop-Tart filling.  Then wound into an oval shape and slathered with white Pop-Tart frosting.  Came packed 4 to a box.  I could EASILY scarf down a box in one sitting.  Kellogg's claims that the product was discontinued because the product tended to break in transportation.

Movies, you say...?

I haven't heard of a Beach Movie being made in years, surely discontinued...they were extremely popular in late-50s Eisenhower America - the 'innocent' age as some call it...

Plots (if any) usually centered around a, er...beach, and normally starred Frankie Avalon & Annette Funicello (ask your mother. or possibly grandmother...!!)

I remember Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers ice cream bars from the late 80s-early 90s. And Jetsons and Batman cereals from around that same time. (not together of course.)

And another discontinued product: what about those brownies that had bites already taken out of them? I remember buying those a whole lot during that time. I think they were called Chewy Chewy Chompers or something...... :-\\

Hope I helped a little! :)

Marathon Bar

Funny Face Drink Mix

The King from Burger King.  When I was a kid the king was a cartoon character then was replaced by a real person.

How about the characters from McDonalds that aren't used anymore, Mayor McCheese and those Fry Guys that look like mops.
