11 Mickey’s Parade Ice Pops: These iconic, ice pops were a popular summertime treat in the 1990s but were sadly discontinued in the early 2000s.

These Disney Ice Pops were packed with a punch and launched in the 1990s amid wide fanfare and pomp. They were sold out of the ice cream trucks on hot summer days and also in Disneyland. These cool treats were vividly colored and shaped in the form of Goofy, Mickey, Donald, Daisy, and Minnie.

12 McDonald’s fried apple pies: crispily fried apple pies were discontinued in 1992 and replaced with healthy baked pies. However, the original pies are still available outside the U.S.

Fried apple pies were the first dessert to be featured on McDonald’s menu in 1968. These fried treats had a crunchy exterior and consisted of a gooey filling with soft apple chunks flavored with a hint of cinnamon. In 1992, the restaurant chain revamped its menu and switched the fried treat for healthier, baked counterparts.

The change was attributed to a healthy makeover and to suit the customers’ taste. However, the baked apple pies failed to make the cut leaving customers disappointed. The good news is that these fried treats are still available at McDonald’s outlets in Mexico, Brazil, Greece, Ireland, Egypt, and Hong Kong. Make sure to keep your eyes open if you are traveling to any these countries to experience the original taste. (1, 2, 3)
