Coincidentally, I was just thinking earlier today about Tyson TV dinners. They used to make those and they were pretty good. I remember their chicken piccata was one of my favorites. ---

> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > Screaming Yellow Zonkers. > Space-Food Sticks. Loved the Zonkers…True story: circa 1971 we found a penny in one of the boxes coated in that zonker coating and my Mom wrote them and told them about it, they sent us a case of Screaming Yellow Zonkers. That was awesome. I miss [Bar None](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ6ONDjcVSY) candy bars. ---

The McDonald’s Cheddar Melt. I’m sure it’s not good as I remember it, but I loved those damned limited time offer things in the late 80s. ---

Pepsi Blue Green Sands(it appeared again with much fanfare a few years ago after being off the market for more than a decade, everyone remembered having it as kids.

> [@pancakes3](#): > > Is this regional? BBQ Fritos are fairly common. > > Hm. Now that I think of it, they’re Frito Twists. Are we still on for the corn-chip swap? BBQ Fritos were a pretty common thing. I went out a few weeks ago because I had a craving for them but all they had was those Honey Barbecue Twists which was not at all what I wanted. I fear that they are slowly going away. The Chilli Cheese ones are hard to find too. Do you remember the Wild N’ Mild Ranch ones? Those were tasty too. ---

> [@The\_Other\_Waldo\_Pepper](#): > > Unfortunately, the local Hardee’s just excised fried chicken less than two weeks ago. Fortunately, the _other_ local Hardee’s still serves fried chicken. Mine must have done at least 8 years ago, I moved in with my with wife (girlfriends at the time) 10 years ago and being pretty dirt poor, my parents lovingly bought us some fried chicken from Hardees because she knew I loved it. Shortly after they stopped serving it. They have awesome bisuits there too which helps. Now there is a Red Burrito attached, which is ok, but I’d rather have the chicken. ---

[Kudos](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kudos_(granola_bar)) used to make a peanut butter flavored bar that was my snack of choice in college in the 90s. I haven’t seen that flavor in years. ☹ ---

La Choy mini egg rolls - I don’t know if they discontinued them or not, but I haven’t seen them for years. Burger King Rodeo burger - apparently these are still on the menu in some BKs, but none of the ones in my area have had them for years. I suppose I could just order a regular hamburger and ask them to put BBQ sauce and onion rings on it, if I really can “have it your way,” but I really don’t want to bother doing that. Not that I’ve even been to Burger in years, anyways.
