Welcome to Gaia! ::

mine is slowing dieing!
I think about food... i think my belly gets bigger...
My wife said she can start to see my belly..(GET IN MY BELLY!!!)
sigh...

i missed Cracker Jakes.. tell i found them at Wal mart O.o
Raine

every day after school i would walk to my cousin's house to wait for my ride, and across the street was this awesome little cany store where you could walk in with 5 bucks and buy like, your weight in candy cigarettes (loved those things) He closed down years ago, sadly, and one of the things I really miss, that I can never find are Nickle Nips (at least that's what he called them, lol)they were just these little wax bottles filled with juice and they were SOOOOOO good. Circus Peanuts were also good.... God, I loved candy, lol.

Lik-M-Aid -- SweeTart powder, or anyway that's what it tasted like -- and a candy stick. You'd lick the stick, stick it in the powder, and then lick the powder off the stick. At the end of the powder, there'd still be some stick left, and you could eat that.

Lemonheads and other heads -- Mmm, mouth-puckering goodness followed by the candy's own sweet-center apology.

Hash browns, with some cheddar cheese sprinkled on, then an over-easy egg which you could break with your fork so the yolk would ooze down through the potato. I gave that up so I could lose 60 pounds, and it's worth it, but I still die a little bit inside when I think about how much I miss it.

My mother's cooking. Nobody else's cooking is as good as hers for healthfulness, flavor, comfort, cultural variety, and presentation. No, not your mother's either, though I'm sure it comes close. Living across the country from her is one of the hardest things I deal with, though I've been out for half my life. I grew up eating Chinese, Indian, soulfood, Creole, Cajun, French, Italian, Mexican, pan-African, Russian... and never had a clue that it was remarkable in any way, until I got to college and looked around at what everyone else was eating and thinking of as normal, when I was thinking "What, no variety at all?"

I miss Srawberry Shorkcake Cereal I LOVED this stuff when I was little.

I know it's newer but I wish Coca-Cola would bring back the coke with lime. I LOVED it. soo good.

I remember those mirco magic fries they were sooo good with the microwavable burgers I ate that stuff... often.

I remember Pepsi Blue, and Crystal Pepsi....I heart Pepsi Blue, hated Crystal Pepsi. My mother would buy like a 12 pack of Crystal Pepsi and try to get me to drink it...ick.

Anyone remember Frosted Rice Crispies?


I still get those, some of the newer versions like Fried Ravioli is pretty good.


I remember those! They worked really well when I was late for school and needed breakfast.

Hell, I miss sour candies... of any brands... its like, the ultimate treat for the mouth.

Drinks: I miss RC, Jamaica Cola, Royal Castle Birch Beer, Wink, and really good vanilla cream soda.

Cereal: not too terribly old, but gone - Crispy Wheats & Raisins
I still get my favorites, Cocoa Crispies and Lucky Charms, but they don't taste as good anymore. They added way too much healthy vitamins and minerals. I can taste the B-12..bleck!!!

Snacks: Those 1-2-3 Jello mixes that made three layers magically on its own!

Candy: POP ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!! (the real ones that were banned)

TV Dinner: The old inexpensive Swanson dinner (all aluminum foil package)... the one with ham and pineapple/raisin sauce, sweet potatoes, peas, and baked apple dessert..... YUMMMMMM!

I agree that the graham crackers just don't taste good anymore. Not near enough flavor like there used to be...there's a lot more I miss, but this post is too long already.
