Products I hope never go away.

* Swiffer in the mop and duster form.
* The bug killer from Home Depot that comes in the gray bottle.
* Rickshaw tea.
* Unsalted chicken broth in the aseptic carton.
* Engineering graph paper.
* Those little palmier cookies at Costco.
* Schweppes Ginger Beer, Bitter Lemon, Grapefruit, Dry Ginger Ale, and Cream Soda, in that order.
* Disinfecting wipes.
* Neutrogena clarifying shampoo.
* Coke One.
* Trader Joe's dark chocolate-covered caramels.
* Act in its original, non-alcoholic, 0.05% fluoride form. It boggles the mind that other mouthwashes don't offer fluoride.

Discontinued products I wish they would bring back.

* Trader Joe's Gummi Chewies, both the ones shaped like fruits and the "tropical" ones shaped like animals.
* Trader Joe's Gummi Bears.
* Trader Joe's mango sauce. At least I thought they made one at some point. Now I'm disappointed because I want to experiment with mango turnovers.
* Robitussin Cough and Cold, the kind with pseudophedrine.
* Trader Joe's ladyfingers.
* Haagen-Dazs burnt caramel.
* Ben and Jerry's White Russian.
* Costco French chocolates, not the Swiss ones.
* Costco caramel nut frozen yogurt topping.
* Costco hot lattes and mochas.
* Yoplait guava.
* Trader Joe's rice senbei.
