Either discontinued, difficult to obtain, or inedible for dietary or moral reasons.

I was grocery shopping earlier today and I realized how much I missed the Nesquik banana milk. I know it was disgusting for several reasons, but as a kid, it was like my favorite thing. If I could get some legit good banana flavoring, I'd totally add some to a batch of oat milk. But that's for another day.

    I used to live near a boutique burger place that had these cheese fries. The cook would fry up french fries in oil in a big iron skillet, drain the oil off, toss the fries in kind of a powdery garlic seasoning, and add what must have been a pound of pepper jack cheese and heat the skillet again until it was just a huge pile of hot grease and melted cheese and soggy potatoes. Absolute artery-stopping pig slop, but easily the best french fries I've ever had in my life to this day.

    They didn't have many customers and I knew the owner would bail eventually so I went a lot while I still could. I felt bad about only ever ordering french fries (too smol to order an entree too) so I made sure to tip the guys working the counter like over 100% to help out and show my appreciation for this ambrosia from heaven that they conjured for me. So they'd see me and pile on the cheese and, like, garlic mayo and salt aaahh so good. I got a couple of good years in before they finally closed. I like to think that my tips might have bought me a little more time living the french fry dream.
