In Anthoney Wayne Junior High School in Wayne, N.J. Bubble Yum was THE THING in the late '70s & early '80s. It actually beat out Bazucca. We'd line up at the Sweet Shot on Valley Road for dozens of these packs of gum. Best part ... that rumor that the secret substance in Bubble Yum was spider eggs. Who else heard that? And then there was that other rumor about Rod Steward having his stomach pumped. Ahh the '70's and '80's. What a great time.
The Zen philosopher Basha once wrote: A flute without holes, is not a flute. A donut without a hole, is a Danish.
OMG! WE REALLY NEED TO PETITION TO BRING BACK THE CORN PRINGLES, I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR YEARS EVER SINCE I WAS ABOUT 10 YEARS OLD. I REMEMBER GETTING MY MOTHER TO BUY THEM AND ONE DAY WE WENT TO THE STORE AND THE WERE NO LONGER THERE, AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THEM TO COME BACK AND STILL NOTHING!
I have searched for years like everyone else. I called years ago to the company too. Still nothing. I can not find anything else even close enough to pretend to like as much. PLEASE Campbells bring it back before I die so I can try it one more time!
Let's play two; and then eat two Dutch Mill Donuts. I'm with ya, CJ. But, in truth, can anyone but the master really re-create Dutch Mill. But then again, I'm asking, too.
Those were my fav along with cherry-cola flavor.
I remember the oriental promo back in the 80s with the chopsticks.that's what got me started eating them.now I'm going thru cancer treatments and the mcnugget along with hot mustard and sweet and sour make the best meal in the world
My favority was Cream of Mushroom. Had a great flavor for "powder in an envelope" added to hot water!
Somebody,PLEASE re-create Dutch Mill Donuts!!!!
everyone i asked thought i was crazy and didnt remember 7up gum when i would ask them about it. i loved that gum, i used to ride my bike up to this corner market that i called the "little store" and buy it with my allowence.
Does anyone remember who made them and if they still exist today? I don't remember high frutose corn syrup in them.
Believe me, enough people ask for it - it will come back!!! Remember all of the vintage candy we bought as kids?! It's all coming back - I was born in 71 and like all of you, LOVED Beef Barley Soup Starter. MMMMM - My Mom made it ALL the time. I'm hoping some manufacturer will listen, and bring it back!!! :: keeping fingers crossed::
I miss the original fruit pellets sooo much. Please bring them back. The snacks they have now are gross. My friends and I always had them after play time outside, this was over 20years ago. I would buy them for my kids today if they made them still :-(
My favorite was the chicken pot pie.I wish they still made them, but now all the Hot Pockets varieties have cheese in them. I don't do cheese.
I remember this soda as a kid growing up in Dearborn Heights, MI. Great stuff! It wasn't sold in AZ, much to my dismay. We moved to AZ in 1970. So glad to learn that it still exists.
Rax burgers kids meals with gator cup, Comment by Jan Griffiths on May 12, 2012 - Report this comment
I still have a Rax alligator kid's cup. We always went there back in the 80s with some friends of ours on Friday nights. My husband always got the roast beef sandwiches, and I got the salad bar. The Rax we went to is a Jenny Craig now.
I still drink Vernor's Ginger ale to this day. I am from Detroit originally, and live in Arizona now. It is made by Kalil in Arizona, and still tastes the same as it always did. I drink the diet Vernor's since I don't do sugar.
I was at the store today and bought some generic cookies that looked like Cup Custard cookies. They were ok, but not the delicious taste of Cup Custard. My sisters and I always talk about those cookies, they were so good. Sunshine biscuts had a factory right in Oakland that closed several years ago (1995), so we never saw them again. I also miss the Lemon Coolers! Bring them back Keebler.
Holy Cow! This page is THE REAL DEAL!!!
Don't want to give my real name yet, but now, "I'm a Beliver!" as the Monkey'S would say. But, like That Dutch dude, I'm a Beatles fan. Can't believe this is for real!
The bomb of all mouth watering bombs was the Jack Burrito. A deep fried tortilla crispy outside, layered with that awesome cheese, beans and meat sauce, tender, melt in your mouth. Nothing matched this perfect late night snack. The days of the steak dinner, juicy actual steak, garlic roll, nice steak fries and top with one delectable onion ring was the perfect dinner. Bring these back with the nachos. These were great items stop trying to reinvent the wheel.
