Long Gone Food of the Past

[JimboJones123]

The GOOD 5-Alive. Not the crappy citrus one they have out now.

JELLO PUDDIN' POPS!!!!!

Fire and Ice Nerds!

The fruit shaped plastic candy containers that had the powder like Pixie Sticks!

I hadn't seen Windmill Cookies since my days in daycare until we moved to Columbus. Now we get them every few months. Everybody else HATES them.

FLAKEY JAKES!!!!

Krispey Kritters Cereal!!! If nothing more than the song alone!!!

The other thing you don't see much of these days - the candy cigarettes. Now THERE'S some fun for ya! How did the fake beer for tots not follow the lead? :lol:

Popeye cigarettes rule!

(Never thought I'd say something like that. :lookaroun)

I had to go find out what the heck a McDLT was after reading this thread. :lol:

Anyway, I found this...Apparently they were a big hit with George Costanza, before he started hanging out with Jerry and Kramer.

Do you know what I DO miss?

Ninja Turtles Pies. (Like the fruit pies but with Vanilla Creme filling :slurp: )

Also, anybody remember Hi-C "Ecto Cooler?"

It's still alive and kicking...just under a different name. The new name of "Ecto Cooler" is "Orange Tangergreen" (Same ingredients...the only difference is the clear "non-stain" coloring).

ECTO COOLER!

Nectar of the Gods is more like it... :slurp:

I found out a month or so ago that my sister and her friends are too young to remember Ecto Cooler. I felt so old!

 

[Gooch]

:lookaroun

We can still get them here too.

I haven't seen them in ANY store down here since I was like 9 or 10.

 

[WildcatDen]

Wow - Gator Gum. A staple of the football season. :sohappy:

Here in Cincy, I miss. . .

Farrels - Mmmm
York Steakhouse (at Cassenelli Square) - Steak tips :slurp:
Burger Chef - building your own burger was a joy

:king:

OMG!! They were sooo good, my favorite when I was little. There were so many ways to eat them--knock out the middle and eat it first, or last; or pull the cookie apart and lick off the frosting and then eat the cookie...


mmmmmm

thought I posted this earlier:

"Burger Chef and Jeff - We're hungry for fun, fun food!"

Burger Chef might not have had the greatest burgers, but their toys were the bomb! :lol:

I can't wait for Halloween - I'm going to munch down on a couple cartons of Pall Mall candy cigarettes . . .

Moving here from Florida-2 years to Indy,HARDEES was few and far between down south.When I came here I noticed they were all over the place.First thing I noticed up here is that they changed their menu.

In Florida they had to much different things like Roast beef and other things.Now they Concentrate mostly on their burgers and
I AM HOOKED!!! I love their burgers and totally love the Jalapeno Thick Burger.The commercial is right-you will need a bunch of refills on your soda.:slurp:

The thing I miss most is Hires Root Beer. Near impossible to find now unless you go through specialty groups online and pay an arm and a leg.

That and Tidal Wave Bubblegum, both because it was tasty and because I loved their commercials:

I hate those commercials :ROFLOL:.Nothing like hearing paper being crumpled ala nails on a chalkboard and to hear that firefighter slurping every drink.:hammer:
but the thickburgers are awesome but 1 is like 1100 calories

Wow- Burger Chef and the "Works" bar- what a mess it would be.
I didn't know it was as large of a chain as it seems to have been.

And Reggie Bars were the best. And Marathon Bars as well.

And I used to love (I still think it's made) the lik m aid candy where you dip the candy stick into the sugar powder.

And are there any Stuckey's, Wayfara, or Horne's restaurants around the interstates anymore?

 

[Tigggrl]

I miss the McDonalds raspberry shakes big time! And Rax roast beef restaurants....their cream of broccoli soup totally rocked!
