If you grew up in the '90s, you probably remember Jell-O Pudding Pops - one of the most iconic frozen treats of the decade. In my memory, they were impossibly creamy, perfectly sweet, and came in those magical swirls of chocolate and vanilla. Unlike regular popsicles, these weren't icy or crunchy - they were smooth and mousse-like, almost like pudding you could eat on a stick. In my house, they never lasted long; if you didn't grab one fast, the box was gone.

Yes, this was a real snack in the '90s. So, if you have a birth year that starts with a 19, you just might remember it. Like so many other treats from the decade (some beloved, some questionable), Pop Qwiz quietly disappeared from shelves not long after its release - left behind in the era of tie dye, Tamagotchis, and VHS tapes.

The IBM zPDT emulates one or more System z processors, the CPUs used in IBM Z mainframes, on a PC running Linux. This provides a small System z instance capable of running currently supported operating systems, with emulation of selected System z I/O devices and control units. IBM warns that zPDT is strictly intended as a development, demonstration, and learning platform and not designed as a production system, should one be tempted to do this, particularly as x86 boxes lack the famous reliability and availability of Big Blue's big iron.

By the '60s, some protein bars were marketed as diet bars or weight loss bars that would provide energy and nutrients while taking the place of a traditional meal. At the advent of the fitness movement and health revolution of the 1980s, the PowerBar was invented by two distance runners. In the almost 50 years since, we have seen countless versions of so-called "healthy" protein bars, some making more dubious claims than others.

Nestle purchased Carnation Co. in 1985 with a $3 billion deal, meaning production of BonBons fell to Nestle - and it didn't disappoint. With a slight rebrand (from "Bon Bons" to "Nestle BonBons"), Nestle began running its own commercials, including a catchy jingle that teased, "the thing about a BonBon, it's almost always gone-gone." Besides the flavor, these wacky commercials are perhaps what former fans remember the most.

The Protein Blended Cold Brew drinks were mixtures of either almond or coconut milk, Cold Brew, almond butter or cacao, and more, which resulted in a thick and chalky drink. Despite having 12 grams of protein for a grande, they received more negative reviews than positive, leaving customers dissatisfied with the drink’s coarse texture.

General Mills has decided to discontinue three flavors of Cheerios to introduce new products, including the Cheerios Protein line that features innovative flavors.
