The war against landlines
I miss Mr. Pibb. Not Pibb Extra. The original, real Mr. PIBB. Just isn't the same.
I love that American Dad! did an entire episode centered around Mr. PIBB.
I was grocery shopping recently (I now cannot remember the store), and they had Mr. PIBB in the beverage case, and I was, "Holy Sh*t. Mr PIBB." Because I couldn't remember the last time I'd seen it. I bought a couple of cans and drank them over the course of a couple of days. They were surprisingly good, and not the Dr. Pepper lite that I was expecting.
I find that Pibb is closer to it's original flavor than Dr. Pepper is to it's earlier mixture. DP is vile.
I can only find it at one Jewel in my area and no other store, so I generally get 3 or 4 twelve-packs at a time.
When I was at my brother's for Christmas, my sister in law gave me a can of Dr. Zevia cola to try out. It took a few sips before I recognized the flavor as being like that of TAB.
If I recall, the Cherry Cola Zevia is slightly better.

Hooters is planning on filing for bankruptcy and closing its remaining locations.
My significant other's quite irked about this. I'd've been similarly irked that my my formerly favorite art house cinema is closing up. But since they gave up on showing documentaries......
What I find interesting about living in the Pacific Northwest is that a lot of these companies never seem to get a foothold here; we have our own local chains that offer essentially the same things as the national stores.
When They Stop Selling Your Favorite Thing
Shoppers are going online to pay dearly for discontinued items, from the perfect lip pencil to Tab.
