> [@Pai325](#): > > A cookie called Jingles that only was available at Christmas. I still look for them just in case. I believe Salerno made Jingles, the traditional Christmas store bought cookie in my family for decades. Now they are called Santa’s Favorites and are made by Lance.

Jack n The Box ham and turkey melts. I used to eat two in one sitting. Fletcher’s corn dogs. They’d dip the frank in the corn batter right there in front of you and fry it up. And their homemade lemonade was divine. ---

I sure would love to find Corn-Quistos again. I’ve seen similar looking snacks (Combos is one), but nothing is as delicious as the original salty, spicy, crunchy, nutrition-free Corn-Quistos. ---

O’boisies were good chips. Keebler, Nabisco, or somebody like that used to make Pop-Tart like pastries that were better than Pop-Tarts. Those Pop-Tart Stick things were pretty good. Cheetos Paws PB Crisps ---

> [@FrigidLizard](#): > > I don’t remember the brand, but in the mid-eighties there was a processed cheese spread that came in a plastic “sausage” casing like polenta. There was an asterisk-shaped cutout nozzle in the middle of the tube that the product was squeezed through onto crackers for fancy-looking hors d’ouevre. It was more paste-like than say, Cheez-Whiz, and came in different flavors (cheddar-bacon was the best!) Man, I miss that cheese. [Squeez-A-Snak](http://s.mlkshk.com/r/T7MO). You just reanimated some long-dormant neurons in my head. My usual lament in these threads is [Cuban Lunch](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/315744623845810306/). Still miss those. ---

- Rice Krispies Treats Cereal - Frosted Mini Chex Probably the two sweetest cereals I’ve ever eaten. I know the first is still in production in certain areas, but it sucks not finding them on the east coast anymore ---

Pizza Hut once had a trial promotional pizza called “Smoke House”, which was somewhat a meat lover’s but had more delectable toppings like diced peppered ham and summer sausage. I just knew that one would stick, but it hasn’t been back once in the last 20 years. The thought of it still makes me tingle in my special place. \* _sigh_\* ---

I remember when generics brands were still big, the brands in the white bag with big black letters. I used to get these Bar-B-Q Corn chips…they were a deep red color at a Giant Eagle grocery store. They stopped selling them eventually, haven’t seen generics in a long time. Those were my favorite, I’d love to have those again. ---
