The cereal aisle of the 1970s was a strange and wonderful place. But as the 1980s got underway, many of the brands we loved disappeared from store shelves. How many of these cereals do you remember? Or, even better, how many did you actually try?

Some of those American pantry staples are still around, but others now feel like relics from old cookbooks, farm kitchens, and wartime cupboards.

For a long time, certain foods carried a quiet middle-class promise of affordability—but these days, many items have become just too expensive.

A lot of grocery items saw steep price increases in 2025, but not all of them.

I bet you can name a McDonald's slogan off the top of your head. Maybe you can get 3-4. If you can get all 45, I'll be VERY impressed.
