You might’ve indulged in some of the final bites and slurps of your favorite food and drinks without even realizing it.
You might’ve indulged in some of the final bites and slurps of your favorite food and drinks without even realizing it. 2023 marked the end of McDonald’s baked goods (thankfully, we have new treats at CosMc’s to anticipate), the final batch of a historic craft beer and a Girl Scouts cookie that was one year old, among other fan-favorite foods that are now in the garbage heap of history. Restaurants and food manufacturers are constantly evaluating what’s selling and what’s not, so it’s not a surprise that these items are disappearing. But it doesn’t make their losses any easier for fans. Here are some culinary creations that left us this year. Coca-Cola’s attempt to make a La Croix competitor fizzled out less than three years after its debut. Aha, a lineup of flavored seltzer waters (some with a splash of caffeine) rolled out in 2020 amid the pandemic and never gained traction with consumers. Coke announced in October that the water will no longer be on store shelves beginning next year with the brand focusing on its more popular Topo Chico lineup. However, for those that need their fix, Aha will still be sold in Canada.
