Shake-a pudding…from my youth many years ago, late 60’s. It was a pudding mix and you added milk. I can still remember the good flavor. YUM ---

I haven’t had it since this past summer; I hope they haven’t discontinued it.( i’m drinking some gatorade citrus cooler right now. most grocery/convenience stores around here carry it. i miss lemon ice gatorade. there’s a lemonade gatorade which isn’t bad, but it’s not the same. i’d forgotten all about rice krispie treat cereal. i loved that stuff. and orbitz soda!

Another fallen soldier from the demise of Sunshine was their Lemon Cooler cookies. Sure, other people make similar confections, but none are anywhere near as good. ---

Wow, I didn’t expect to see so much love for Carnation Breakfast Squares! I used to love the chocolate ones as a kid–a pack of two of them and a glass of ice-cold milk made a lovely after-school snack (but the milk did have to be ice-cold–that was part of the yumminess). I also miss the original Wonka [Oompas](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oompas)(not the fruity ones–the chocolate and peanut butter version). I just found out recently that they don’t make Wonka bars anymore–that’s much more recent, but I was disappointed to hear it. They were really good. ---

One snack that is still around but not the same is Chex Mix. For one, they took out the peanuts and added breadsticks in all the varieties. And the cheese flavor just doesn’t taste right anymore… ---

Pre-made Chex Mix has always been a Crime Against Nature. Making it yourself is the only way to go. Now that they are cranking out Hostess items again, I’m good. But I really missed Ding Dongs when they were gone. But I also remember back in the Stone Age there was a brand of frozen hero sandwich (Toms?) that came wrapped in this foil-ish paper. We’d always open the end, add a few ingredients, then rewrap and heat in the oven until toasty. Memory tells me they were delish, so that means they really sucked. But I’d like to try them again sometime just to be sure. ---

I was always a Little Debbie fan I guess, not even a fan of them much anymore, I’m a “salty tooth” if that’s a thing. ---

Froyo frozen yogurt - it was a cross between ice cream and sherbet. The lemon was fabulous. Sunkist Mandarin Orange soda - tasted like soda I drank in Norway (no idea the name of it) Charms sweet & sour lollipops - oh, those were good! 1 Potato 2 - my fast food place of choice back when I worked in the mall Pizzaria Uno - none left around here, sadly. They had a pesto pizza that was fabulous. ---

They had a pesto pizza that was fabulous. We had a Uno around this area that lasted around the time it will take me to type this thread. I don’t remember if I liked the pizza or not. I think that location might be cursed. Everything that goes in doesn’t last more than a month and it’s prime location. I’ve never heard of 1 potato 2. To the Googles! ---

Canada Dry Cactus Cooler. Supposedly, it is still available in the Los Angeles area (now made by Dr. Pepper/Snapple), and even appears every now and then on _Weeds_.
