(#12) KFC Double Down
KFC's Double Down chicken sandwich proves that sandwiches really don't need bread. The hearty offering from the Colonel features bacon, cheese, and sauce in between two pieces of fried chicken. The fast food chain offered the interesting sandwich first in 2010 as a limited menu item. However, demand was high enough that KFC announced they would keep selling the Double Down indefinitely in areas where demand remained.

(#10) Crystal Pepsi
Pepsi's clear caffeine-free soda came out in 1992. However, the company pulled the product after only one year because it didn't sell as expected. Loyal fans of the clear soft drink held out hope for its return, though. Tens of thousands of people even signed a Change.org petition for the company to bring back Crystal Pepsi. The movement worked and in 2016, Crystal Pepsi was sold in both Canada and the United States for a limited time. The 2017 version of the product is currently for sale on Amazon.

(#8) Chocodiles
Hostess called their 2014 Chocodiles return the, "Sweetest Comeback in the History of Ever." The company brought back the item, which is essentially a Twinkie covered in chocolate, for sale nationwide. For a while the product was only available on the west coast but Chocodiles were rare enough that people bought them at $30 to $40 a box.

(#9) Hydrox Cookies
Hydrox Cookies, which were manufactured by Sunshine Biscuits, hit the shelves way back in 1908. The creme-filled sandwich cookie preceded the ever-popular Oreo, which did not come out until 1912.
Hydrox was pulled from the market in 1999 but the product reappeared in 2015 after the creator set out to remake the cookies using the original formula and good quality cocoa. Many consumers prefer Hydrox over Oreos because they are not as sweet and stand up better to milk dunking.

(#4) French Toast Crunch
General Mills brought French Toast Crunch to the market in 1995. The company discontinued the product in the United States (they kept selling it in Canada under the name Croque Pain Doré) in 2006. However, consumers who hungered for the taste of the sweet cinnamon and maple toast-shaped cereal squares took to Facebook and started the Bring Back French Toast Crunch movement. In 2014, General Mills brought back French Toast Crunch because they wanted to capitalize on the nostalgia of consumers who ate the cereal as kids in the 1990s.

(#5) Wendy's Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger
For a while there, it seemed like pretzels were used to create a bun for every kind of sandwich. Cashing in on the pretzel bun craze, Wendy's introduced their Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger in 2013. It was originally supposed to be just a limited item but consumers expressed their disappointment over social media when they couldn't get their pretzel burger fix. Wendy's brought back the item just six months later. It's currently on the permanent menu.
