Tailing off of @passedpawn's semi-zombie thread regarding grout cleaners, I thought I'd throw this one out there. No rules, can be any product you wish was still around. I'll start:
REAL Scotchgard. Read many years ago that the original formula, which was absolutely impermeable to dirt/grease/grime, was discontinued because it never breaks down; there are still original Scotchgard molecules in the atmosphere that will never go away. The stuff they have now works for a while but wears off.
Fun fact (taken from one of my Bathroom Readers): Scotchgard was discovered by a 3M employee who was working on something they were developing (can't remember exactly what it was) and spilled some on her white canvas sneakers; she only noticed it when that spot on her sneakers stayed pristinely white, while the rest got dirty.
And one more: REAL Dayquil, with the pseudoephedrine. I think you can still get it in Mexico, but not in the US or Canada because of meth. That heavenly elixir got me through manyhangovers all-nighters colds back in the day.
