I also miss Frosted Rice Krinkles cereal…like Rice Krispies only flat, not puffy (think Pebbles shape and Rice Krispies flavor.)
Dunkin Donuts chocolate creme filled donuts. My sister and I used to beg my mom to buy us one on Sunday mornings on the way to church. Sigh. I haven’t seen them in 30 years or more.
Good to know, but are you sure it’s the same stuff? A Google search does not turn up any easily identifiable sites where it can be purchased, even when I limit the search using “Canada.” I would drive to BC for it.
Yes, I did upthread. Loved the orange and lime flavors of that.
Yes, it’s the same label, same logo, and even more importantly, the same taste. I drank a lot of Old Tyme Ginger Beer back when it was available in the states, and this is the real deal.
I’ve still got 3 or 4 bottles of the stuff from my Canadian source at present.
I’ve only seen it in Ottawa though, so you might want to check out sources in BC before heading there.
And I’ve had the same lack of luck regarding Google searches for this product.
It’s not that tough to get Coke imported from another country, which will, I’m sure, be the same as Coke was here before the switch to corn syrup.
There are “Toasted Corn” Doritos, which are basically tortilla chips, and Buffalo & Bleu Cheese (even though it says “blue”, those dumbasses) is surprisingly good.
And I really miss Chick-Fil-A from my days in Arizona, where there was one on-campus at the U of A – but I found out the other day that one finally opened in San Diego! I’ll have to go check it out.
That’s not saying much. But the best fries anywhere, period, are the waffle cut fries at Chick-Fil-A (since In-N-Out Animal Style fries don’t really count…)
Those became popular again in my first couple years of high school (2000-02ish), thanks to the surge in E use.
I used to eat Fun Stix (or something like that), which sounds like exactly the same thing.
WTF? 8 inches? Are you sure?
If anything, there’s far too much Mr. Pibb in the world. JMHO.
I can still get them by the bottle in any neighborhood here with a high immigrant population. YMMV.
That’s true at In-N-Out, too.
PuffaPuffa Rice cereal. According to the 70’s commercial, it was hot-blown right out of a Hawaiian volcano, with a whole bunch of luau natives celebrating it. Guess it costs too much now to do that. 
Oh, well, of course the internets have a YouTube documentary on Puffa Puffa Rice
Forgot about the Oceans of Energy part, but, I well remember wanting to have the cereal blown out of a volcano as a part of my day as a kid.
I used to love those freezer pops in the plastic tube. I know you can still get them, but few people keep them around unless they have a regular stream of keeblers running around. When our friend’s daughter was a wee tot, I bought a huge box of them for like $3. I’d grab a half dozen at a time and freeze them for when she was over. She thought they were da bomb.
Kool Pops! Yeah!
Anyone remember those new-fangled hot dog buns that weren’t hinged, but had a hot dog shaped impression in the middle so your hot dog wouldn’t fall out? I can’t remember what they were called…wagon wheel somethin’?
Never heard of Kool Pops. We had Otter Pops and Flavor Ice!
I have very fond childhood memories of a candy that nobody else remembers but me and one friend of mine. When we talk about it, everyone else looks at us like we’re insane. They looked just like M&Ms, only in just two colors, dark brown and light green. They had crowns printed on them where the M would go, and tasted like mint chocolate. Does anyone remember these at all?
I had this sno-cone machine. It was so cool, but my mom never replenished the syrup. Frosty Sno-Man Sno-Cone Machine by Hasbro - Sam's Toybox 
OMG, another blast from my past! I had the Frosty model too!
Our syrup didn’t get replenished either. :mad:
I wonder if you could fake it in with a non-frozen Kool-Pop!!!
QtM, I always thought you were, like, this wise old dude, because of all your medical knowledge ‘n’ stuff. But – holy shit! – we must be close to the same age. Turkish Taffy! Fizzies!
Holier shit! Maybe I’m old! 
There used to be a Snackwells chocolate yogurt. It tasted like chocolate pudding. It probably WAS chocolate pudding, which is why it went off the market.

LavenderBlue**, my local grocery store carries the salmon cream cheese. YUM! Just had some last week spread on slices of rye bread. I can be your fixer! My e-mail address is in my profile.
Carnation’s Instant Breakfast in other flavors besides chocolate (I can get all I want if I want chocolate)
Grape Nuts O’s cereal. That gets discontinued in the stores I visit and yet they still sell the flakes?!?!
No…there was a flavored pop called Aspen, very crisp and apple-y. I remember getting some out of a machine while on a road trip to New Mexico, mid-90s. I think I’ve even seen it since then.
What I miss–and this is impossible to replicate, I think–is this spiced tea mix made by my mother and other ladies in her circle, consisting of Tang, instant tea, and some spices like cinnamon and clove. Also lots of sugar. Loved the stuff. She used to include it in the care packages she sent to me in college.
I think I have the recipe for it in some old church cookbook but who can find Tang or instant tea?
