We all have items we absolutely love and buy all the time. Then the inevitable happens, and the item is discontinued. You find a replacement, but it’s just not the same. Or you reminisce back in time to a cool gadget you wish still was around to purchase. According to an online poll, these are the top-voted items that people would love to see hit the market again.
1. Cotton Blankets
“Woven cotton blankets with satin binding. Everything is microfleece now,” a person expressed.
2. Triangle Windows
Someone reminisced, “The little, triangular windows in cars – when you want a fresh air blast!”
3. The Original Recipes
“Original recipe Hostess treats, Ding Dongs, Twinkies, Hostess cupcakes – they used to be trashy good, now they’re awful. Add in Little Debbie’s stuff, too, the same thing,” somebody divulged.
4. I Want My MTV
“Back when they actually played music videos. Oh, Martha Quinn & the rest of the original MTV VJs,” someone shared.
5. Glass Packaging
“I won’t buy spaghetti sauce in plastic containers. It’s bitter. I do wonder what we’re ingesting with all the plastics in use today. I still have glass peanut butter jars I use for leftovers. They impart no taste,” a user explained.
6. Halloween Buckets
“I would love for McDonald’s to bring back the plastic trick-or-treat buckets that the Happy Meals used to come in. They even had a Halloween cookie cutter in the lid,” someone mentioned.
7. Manual Transmissions
A user shared, “They aren’t technically discontinued, although there are not a lot of models that still even offer them as an option in 2023 (in the US market, anyway).”
8. Metal Roller Skates
“The kind you strap onto your shoes and adjust with a special key. I used to love using those on concrete,” a person said.
9. Large Appliances
“Large appliances that can actually be serviced and repaired for less than the cost of buying new,” someone stated.
11. TV Dinners
“TV dinners that were foil-covered and baked in the oven (not the microwave). A couple of green beans or corn kernels always got into the brownie batter,” someone said.
12. Wearing Hats
“Not just for me but for all adult men. They were wearing hats. I always thought it was so cool, especially going to church on Sundays,” somebody mentioned.
13. Shopping Carts
“Those shopping carts that were shallow and up high. The entire basket flipped up for storage. The underneath area was big enough for kids to ride,” someone shared.
14. Shower Sprayer
“SC Johnson Automatic Shower Sprayer. Saved me hours of scrubbing. Just hit the button and close the door,” one user explained.
