Defunct brands that we grew up with

[TXARGUY]

Oh, they're still around... I thought you meant they went out of business.

Oh no. They are gone.

Remember Hollywood video?

Oh yeah when I worked at Subway in high school we used to trade sandwiches for rentals lol. No clue if there's any still around but anyone remember redline burger? That place was cheap and awesome.

Only 'grew up' with a few of these others died along the way.

Captain D's
Dublin Dr. Pepper
NetScape
Stuckey's
Watson Burger
Yugo
Big Chief tablets (think Kindergarten)
Gasoline without Ethanol
Zima

Captain D's still exist. If you have a million bucks in assets and 350k in liquid capital they'll sell you a franchise.

Yeah, ain't it great!

I'm just glad the big Texan in Amarillo is still there. I remember passing it as a kid. And one day my dad stopped and we ate dinner. I remember walking on the wooden plank floor and the sound. When we got seated and for a boy 7 or 8 I was in awe from all the cool taxidermy. Hopefully that place never goes. I cannot wait to bring my kids there.

While it's not labeled 'Dublin' you can still buy Dr Pepper made with Imperial Pure Cane Sugar and not corn syrup. Got some at Sams last week. I also see it regularly in the small bottles at the local grocery.

And give your money to the assholes who shut down Dublin Dr. Pepper? For me that would be a big no thanks. I haven't had a sip of Dr Pepper since they did that and my body very much appreciates the change.

Yes, for me it is about the taste, and avoiding the corn poison. Other companies have shut down plants and moved and/or consolidated operations and I don't boycott them for it. Plano is where it's listed as being made, so still in Texas, not like they moved it to Mexico..........................well Mexico is ok for their original recipe Coke (yes, the cane sugar one, not the corn one...........)

The list is pretty long when you add in computer companies. Commodore Business Machines, Atari (still kind of in the software side of things, otherwise gone), Tandy Corporation, Maxtor (makers of old HDDS). And that's just off the top of my head of stuff that used to be in my house.

My first computer was a timex believe it or not. Hooked up to a tape recorder an BW TV. Wrote programs for it too. Neat lttle thing for $50.

didn't even know Timex was in that market at the time. I can say I logged many an hour with some BASIC on a Commodore 64, a TI99/4a and an Atari 800xl. All of which were old when I got them, and man did I go through cassettes and 5.25" floppies. Then I got my hands on an old IBM 5150. And to think, if my allergies weren't so bad back then, I would have probably had a tan instead.

I miss the air shuttle service from ellington field. It was absurdly convenient.

Josta cola

I would choke puppies for the recipe.
