Sometimes there would be food that is so disgusting and stale you never want to revisit it. For example, in 2011, our local movie theatre had those nachos that tasted horrendous and stale and I couldn't finish it. Our theatre has since shut down in 2021 (possibly due to COVID and other financial issues).

Interesting sidenote, Weird Paul made an album cover based on the terrible food his family used to buy in the 80s that didn't pass inspection.

That blue flavor of Pepsi.

Back in the early 2000s, there was a sports drink they were trying to push, called Trek. It was foul. "Cat ear medicine" is how a friend described it. It's been virtually scrubbed from the internet, but I finally found a few images:

Orangina. My mom warned me that it was horrible. But I was eight and entranced by the bumpy oval bottle. So I bought it and it was indeed horrible. Apparently it's slated to come back at some point. It's just not being sold in the US right now.
 
That purple and green ketchup. It didn't taste that off, but the color was just so unsettling. I might have been too old for the target demographic when it came out though.
 
Pepsi Blue was definitely garbage. I couldn't taste anything but the coloring itself, and I don't understand why anyone is nostalgic for it.

I recall mentioning somewhere ages ago that I had a bad encounter with PB&J flavored Reese's cups, those were a food crime.
 
The All-American Thickburger from Carl's Jr. was a limited-time offer for the 4th of July season back in 2015. And wow it's just so bad with too much sauce and salt burying with the chips and sausages in the bottom bun, thus tasting more like dog water.
 
- Those giant movie themed jawbreakers they sold for a year or two after the flintstones movie came out back in 1994. They tasted awful and gave off a smell that was even worse. One kid in my class back in 94 got one of them when the movie came out and brought it to school. Naturally the thing was way too big to actually git into his mouth so what did he do? Took it out of its plastic package, licked it for awhile, put it back into the package, kept it in his desk and kept licking it randomly throughout the day every day until he licked the thing in half and kind of drilled his tongue through it. I don't know if it fermented with the saliva on it or what but it fucking reeked and stank up the entire classroom for months. Nobody realized what it was that was causing it until like the last week of school that year

- Kraft dinner spaghetti, which was pretty much what it sounds like. Pretty much mini spaghetti noodles in the box with a cheese sauce pouch instead of the usual powdered stuff. The cheese had a weird consistency and tasted terrible and the noodles always were overcooked and mushy no matter how little time they spent cooking

- Screaming saucers. Small sour as fuck candies that were like pepsi blue colored and stained your mouth the same color for a couple days no matter what you did if you ate one. Got pulled from the market after schools and parents flipped out at the company cause they were causing problems and ruining picture days back in the early 90s

- Ghostbusters popsicles, that were popsicles in the shape of the ghostbusters logo but the consistency and taste of them was as if they were made by someone going out in the street, scooping snow off the ground and compressing it into a popsicle mold. Awful

- Sprinkle spangles was a cereal from like 1993 - 1994 that were star shaped and had dollar store tier round sprinkles stuck all over them. Really weird consistency when eating them and tended to float in milk for some reason. Always made me think there was gravel in the cereal or something

- Mcdonalds cookies. The ones sold in those small boxes back in the 80s and early 90s. Always stale as fuck and reminded me of shitty animal crackers for some reason

- Anything claiming to be food that came out of the old dr dreadful food/drink lab kits, with the exception of monster brains. Those were weirdly good for some reason. But the gummies especially were absolutely vile
 
inb4 someone says 'Orbitz'.
I remember trying that. Tasted like orange cough syrup that was burnt. Couldn't even finish the sip. God fucking awful.

We used to have this candy my gran would buy us and put in Easter baskets that was like a sucker or a lollipop with a candy shaped like a saucer on the top of it. One part pink the other part grey.
Tasted like sugary cardboard. NO idea what they were called but they were terrible. Something that should have stayed in the 1940s and died sooner.
 
Chicken Tonight. That shit was nasty in all forms.

Apparently it's still being inflicted upon Britbongs and Aussies as punishment, but the Land Of FREEDOM is free of it.

I think I've had those lollipops before. They're the sort of stuff people buy from a catalogue of similarly crappy candy and trinkets for party favors.

I still see this at the store. Although it claims to have parmesans in it, not a cheese sauce.

Wait, do you not mean this stuff?

Cherry Cola. It didn't mesh with the taste of Coke well at all.
Cherry Coke is still readily available, and you’re just plain wrong about it tasting bad.

Tax: those old Snackwell’s devil’s food cake cookies from the 80s. My grandma swore by them. I thought they tasted like someone glued stale flaky chocolate cookie crumbs onto a piece of cardboard.
 
Kids "Cuisine" was foul, the corn was always cold the brownie/fudge? would be burnt and nuclear reactor hot out the microwave and everything else didn't taste like anything at all.
happy to see this is something that doesn't show up in the isles anymore.
