Things you can't get anymore

Yesterday the New York Times reported on the relentless need that companies have to tamper with products that are already fine as is.

We all have favorite products that were either mucked-up beyond recognition or discontinued. Here are some of mine:

  • A vacuum cleaner attachment that's a lint brush
  • The Honda Civic hatchback with automatic transmission as the entry-level car of the Honda line
  • Ambervision sunglasses
  • The Dodge Dart
  • Indestructable saddle leather Coach handbags
  • Coca-Cola in a green glass bottle that required a bottle opener, delivered ice-cold out of a red vending machine in front of a gas station
  • Orange-its candy


For some products, the Vermont Country Store is a repository for the rare and the hard-to-find -- but they've never shown up with Orange-its or the vacuum attachment.

What are some of the products you miss?
