Foods You Miss From When You Were Little?

[Milady D]

I used to love these raspberry candies that were a bit like Tums in shape. Yum! Can't remember what they were called - now, at my age, the closest taste I've found to them is the berry version of Pepcid Complete! sad

I miss most of my mom's homecooking before she stopped completely. She made the best stuffed bell pepper with rice and tamale pie! xD

And someone else mentioned Vienna Sausages, I miss those too, although I think I ate too many when I was younger. I miss the metabolism I had when I was younger too. :[

Nik-l-Nips. They're little wax bottle things filled with some sort of liquid. LOVED those as a kid. Mostly for chewing on them while they still had the liquid in them. Heh.

Didn't they take that Big Chew gum out of most stores because it encouraged tobacco use? (The idiots)

Vienna Sausages... Flink's pretty sure THEY don't taste like they normally did.

Bacon Cheddar Cheetos... Never had 'em. But Flink does LOVE Andy Capp: cheddar, bacon cheddar, and hot fries.

On Doritos, she's gotten to where she prefers the off-brand nacho chips more. Not as heavily seasoned, and the seasoning tastes less like chemicals and more like cheese.

Orbitz. It was a drink with these circular things in them.

The McDonald's Pizza - I miss this!

It was like, yogurt balls or something. And I miss those pizza's too. But, the one thing I REALLY miss...Mellow Yellow. I mean, where I live, they either dont carry it, or when they do, we cant afford it (Heh, Go Ohio!)

@Mavosa: I still have a can of that, never got to try it though.

Progresso Tortellini Soup is one that I really miss. I can remember being a kid and getting so excited the first day it was cold and rainy- because I knew that would be lunch.

My great grandmother's afternoon tea. She'd traveled by ship to England much earlier in her life, and had liked the idea of afternoon tea so much that we always had it when I saw her. She served a strawberry tea, with her own scones, home made double cream, and her own jam. Then she'd serve little sandwhiches- usually something like chicken salad, but occassionally there would be a cream cheese and cucumber one. Then she'd always serve a tiny slice of this chocolate and orange torte she ordered from Europe.

The other thing I miss was from a company called Ye Olde Candy Company (it might have been Shoppe). They sold these candies called Peppermint Humbugs. They were a golden hard candy, shaped like a pyramid, and had a chewier center (they were still pretty firm). I loved those things. They were the perfect candy for a hot day- they started out a little ackward because of the shape, but the flavor was amazing, and one would last for hours.

I missed bottlecaps for a long time, hadn't seen them in years... thenthey popped up in a dollar store.

Toffifay's another I hadn't seen in years, then started finding them in one specific drug store =)

My Father's Paia

Okay I miss Fudge Town Cookies , 6 came to a pack they were like the perfect snack !

 

[Ultra Fabu]

I honestly can't think of anything! Well, I did think of Dilly Bars. But you can still get them even if they don't seem to taste as good as I remember.

I miss Peanut Butter Boppers...

I do not remember the name, but they were like the cheese stuffed pretzel bites, but they were a chip outside and cheese or ranch inside, and they were round and bumpy like if they took a ripple chip and wrapped it around a filling and cut them.

I miss Campbells Chunky Chicken Mushroom chowder soup too  

[Aiyana_of_Limdule]

I too miss Fun Dip and Crystal Pepsi.
You know what I really miss though? "Chicken Littles" from KFC! They were mini chicken patty sandwiches. Just chicken and mayo on small buns. I used to get those as a kid in the 80's all the time! They were my favorite! The other stuff just aint the same. I wish I could share those yummy sandwiches with my Toddler. He'd probably love them too! 3nodding

*sighs* I miss the instant oatmeal that came with the fruity-sugary *shrugs* syrup you made designs with on top. You didn't get a lot but it tasted fantastic. Didn't matter what the oatmeal was.

And Zagnut bars. Haven't seen them in forever....  

[Flink.Pamingo]

Come to think of it, Flink misses Crystal Pepsi as well. It was made of awesome.

They should so bring it back. For it to have been so "unpopular" Flink sure knew a LOT of people who liked it.  

[Agent Ginrei]

I just miss when stuff tasted good. Like Icees, or twinkies. Last time i tried an Icee, it'd been years since my last one. And it tasted like something i should be cleaning my toilet with. Everything is made with nasty chemicals, it's so gross. sad And of course i miss my mum's cooking. Mmm... noone could make an apple pie, leek and potato soup, or steak and kindey pie like she could.
