Brisk fruit punch and sidekicks garlic alfredo spaghetti. Sad days when those were discontinued

The sidekicks garlic alfredo is still sold at walmart, I have some in my cupboard currently.

Brisk fruit punch

hits Google Shopping

Looks like it's available.

The Sidekick's garlic alfredo is apparently still available in Canada, and one can order from there via various vendors that import it, if you're in the US:

I am in Canada, the Brisk Fruit Punch flavour was discontinued here. I guess it could be possible to import it if its still available in the US. I quite liked it, though not sure I liked it enough to pay the import and shipping fees Canadians are slapped with.. Maybe I'll order it once just to relive my college days once again haha

As for the sidekicks alfredo, I was talking about specifically their garlic alfredo spaghetti. They have a couple other alfredo packets that are fairly different to the one I am talking about. None of them were ever quite the same!

Honestly, while there would be shipping fees, I don't think that either we guys or you guys pay any import tariffs because of NAFTA USMCA.

The phase-out of FTA tariffs was completed on January 1, 1998. As of that date, virtually all tariffs on Canada- U.S. trade in originating goods were eliminated. Some tariffs remain in place for certain products in Canada's supply-managed sectors (e.g. eggs, dairy and poultry products). In the U.S., tariffs remain in place for certain products such as sugar, dairy, peanut and cotton.

I don't usually consciously order from Canada, but I remember ordering some unfinished cedar furniture from Canada and it cost less than getting it in the US.

Ah, gotcha, sorry about that. You did indeed specify spaghetti in your comment, and I just didn't read carefully enough.
