Five toaster treats you'll never see again and fans are longing for a taste of their childhood

April 2021 · 3 minute read

THERE are few hot snack options that beat the convenience of a toasted pizza, Pop Tart, or Danish.

While the toaster has taken second place to the microwave in recent decades, there are some toasted treats that customers just can’t forget.

Let’s take a look at five once-popular snacks that have now been discontinued.

1. POP TARTS SNAK STIX

Pop Tarts introduced a caramel chocolate flavored snack in 2002, named Snak Tix.

The crunchy yet sticky flavor combo reminded many customers of a Twix.

These break-apart sticks, drizzled with icing, were originally introduced to coincide with the American Idol Tour.

They were discontinued in 2006, although dozens of other toaster-ready Pop Tarts still exist today.

2. BETTY CROCKER TOASTWICHES

Imagine a grilled cheese that you could put straight in the toaster?

Well, that was a reality between 1973 and 1974, when Betty Crocker introduced French Toastwiches.

Although it’s been four decades since they were available, many fans are still begging for their return.

“Bring these back at once,” demanded one on Twitter.

Another wrote: “Why we don’t have this today is a mystery.”

3. KELLOGG'S PRESTO PIZZA

Ever longed for pizza Pop Tart? Well, Kellogg’s once came close with its toaster-ready Presto Pizzas.

This sausage-topped snack was briefly available in the early seventies, but a group of Redditors recently begged for its return on a nostalgia thread.

“Bring this back immediately and I’ll die happy,” wrote one.

“You know, this does sound delicious, I’d love it,” chimed in another.

4. PILLSBURY ORANGE DANISHES

The 70s was the era of the toaster Danish, and Pillsbury set itself apart from the competition with an orange flavored variety.

Pillsbury Danish Swirls brought that fresh-from-the-bakery warmth to kitchens throughout America before they were discontinued and replaced with a non-toaster variety.

Under the YouTube comments of an old commercial for the toaster-ready Danishes, one wrote: “I don't know why they discontinued these, I've searched forever.”

Another described them as “an upscale version of the Pop Tart.”

5. HOWARD JOHNSON’S TOASTEES

Howard Johnson was the largest chain restaurant in America in the 1950s and the 1960s, and the brand stepped into the grocery stores with its Corn Toastees.

Available in plain corn and blueberry varieties, they were sold from 1960 to 2008.

“I used to love the blueberry toasties hot with melted butter,” remembered one recently on Twitter.

Another agreed: “Yum! Now that’s living!”

But it isn’t just discontinued toaster treats that have left fans still hungry for more.
