Kirkland Signature American Cheese
Given how quickly millennials are killing American cheese, it’s no surprise that Costco pulled the plug on this Kirkland Signature product. Kirkland Signature cheese slices were not individually wrapped, unlike the still-popular Kraft Singles. Consumers were split on whether the convenience was worth the unnecessary packaging. Many people believed that the store brand product tasted better than the name brand competitor, but in the end, Kraft won out over Kirkland. “Sales were dropping on the KS stuff,” writes Costco Panda, a self-professed insider on Reddit. “Down several million dollars a year. Made more sense to increase our purchase volume from Kraft and, in turn, get a better price.”

Fresh Made Gelato
Depending on whether your Costco food court served it, some of you may recall this one. Gelato in flavors like strawberry, chocolate, stracciatella, pistachio, and mixed berry was available at some locations for $1.50 for a three-scoop waffle cone and $4.99 for a quart to go. According to a Change.org petition (with over 100 signatures), Costco stopped selling gelato in 2015. According to Reddit user CellSalesThrowaway2, the food court favorite was only a trial offering on the menu deemed a failure after a year.
