Monster has a line of canned coffee-like products they call their Java series. One of them was Swiss Chocolate flavored. It is discontinued, always separated, left an awful sludge in the bottom of the can, but I loved those things.

Josta. Pepsi's first "energy drink" that they released in the mid 90's, made with guarana AND caffeine.
This was back in the days when Pepsi could "sponser" a middle school by putting a branded soda machine in a common area. It's how I ended up drinking grape Fuitopia every day at lunch, and every day I'd get a bottle of Josta for the walk home.
It wasn't immediately palatable. Reminiscent of Moxie but without the waxy aftertaste. It was like drinking carbonated cough syrup. But just like the other energy drinks that would follow a few years later, I really came to appreciate the taste.
It recently popped up in the background of a scene of the first season of Loki which had me hopeful for a revival, but no such luck.
I’d say Planter’s Cheez Balls and lime green skittles, but people wised up and brought those back recently.
Morton Mini Donuts, covered in sugar n cinnamon. Pop in the oven, crisp and hot. Haven't seen them since the mid 80s. Sad

I was going to say Snapple Elements, but apparently they're back on shelves within the last month.
Croissant Pockets. Hot Pockets also had a Beef and Cheddar flavor a long time ago and whatever equivalent they have now is not the same.
Smart Foods also used to have a spicy cheese popcorn but they changed it to an even hotter version. I can barely taste the cheese now. Bring back the original!
The original Pizzaria Uno cream of broccoli soup from the 90s. It was maybe the perfect version of that soup.
When I was a super young kid, I remember going to the store occasionally, where my mom would rarely buy me these yogurt gummy candies as a treat. I absolutely loved them, they were delicious. However, they were discontinued or something like 20 years ago. There isn’t much I wouldn’t do to get more of them. I’d even make them myself if I could find a recipe.
I think the brand name was Campinos. IIRC they were mostly a hard candy brand, but those soft candies were a million times better than any other candy I could have had as a kid.
Edit: I just googled them since they were on my mind. It seems like they’re out of stock everywhere but here’s a product listing https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/campino-yogourt-gummies-120g/10192347
Are those the ones with little fruit gummy balls coated in yogurt?
Nope, they were regular gummy candy but with yogurt mixed in to the molten candy mixture before it set (I think). They were kinda similar to the white stuff on the bottom of the blue whale gummy candies but not quite.
On that note, I also remember yogurt coated skittles were a thing and they were also very good, but I think those were also discontinued. Those are probably more like what you’re thinking of.

Quaker Crunchy Corn Bran was a cereal that had a terrible name, but was SO yummy. Puffins are similar, but not quite right.
Ocean Spray made a Cranberry Key Lime cocktail for a very short while and I loved it.
Eggo used to make a Nutragrain version, and since I only eat toaster waffles with peanut butter and syrup, I couldn't taste the difference and it made for a healthier breakfast.
I have nostalgia for things like Clearly Canadian and Orbitz, but pretty sure I wouldn't actually like them anymore.
I recently found Clearly Canadian in a grocery store and bought one on a whim. It tasted the way I remembered it.
Dunkin Donuts movie tie-in drink from Men in Black 3. I think I got one every day for the 3 months it existed.
I don't remember the name but there was an energy bar with the flavor a specific juice that got really popular at some point when I was a kid. I think they suddenly discontinued it due to ingredients causing cancer. I had eaten so much of it that it was a bit worrying.
I swear there was a lollipop brand that looked like chupa chups or chupa chups themselves used to have a different flavor because they were the only lollipops I liked but can't find them anywhere after leaving middle school so I guess they stopped making them.
Archway Rocky Road cookies. It was their best variety by far, but they discontinued them.
Monster assault energy drink, the "new" flavour is a disgusting mockery of the original.

Space food sticks!!!!
Me too. I guess if I ever have to go to space I’ll just have to deal with the crumb problem
Tic Tac Icegloo https://www.produkt.at/produkte/detail/id/10734/
I discovered these in my childhood before I discovered ordinary tic tacs, but they were discontinued soon after.
They introduced two new peanut flip flavours. One was Mexican and the other was oriental or something. They kept the Mexican one and ditched the superior oriental for some reason. Still thinking about them from time to time.
Pizza Mia from Pizza Hut.
