Chocolate Cool Whip was test marketed here. It was like a light chocolate chiffon or mousee. I guess it didn’t sell, but I loved the stuff. /Homer Simpson voice/ Mmmmmmmmm…space food sticks. And Carnation Breakfast Bars. ---

Not the wound up tapeworms they sell now, but the foot-long, eighth of an inch thick, solid slab O gum. Mmmmmmmmm.** Oh, I remember those. What **were** they called? Big Buddy? Was that it? Screaming Yellow Zonkers! I loved that stuff! Danish Go-Rounds! Finally, someone other than me who remembers them! They were like Pop-Tarts, but better. ---

Another food I miss is Squeeze-Cheeze. No one around here carries it. I even tried to get the local grocery store to special order it but they couldn’t even find it listed with their suppliers. That canned “Easy Cheese” just doesn’t do it for me. \<\<\<\\>\>\> Beeman’s is available in my area, or at least several times per year. \<\<\<\\>\>\> Again, available here and still tough and chewy enough to pull fillings. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Qadgop the Mercotan \* > \*\*OOH! OOH! Shake a pudding! And Danish go rounds! Such a big part of my childhood! So vile! Remember Space Food Sticks? \*\* Sadly, no. Shake a Pudding and Danish Go Rounds were rare exceptions in my mother’s relatively non-junk-food-oriented buying habits. Oh, wait – what about Pizza Spins? Truly foul! ---

It was a rice dish. It may have been Uncle Ben’s. It was chicken flavored. SO good. Gone. I also miss Jell-O 1-2-3. Also some frozen french fries that were onion flavored, but made out of rice. ---

> [@](#): > > PORTLAND PUNCH - loganberry flavored fruit base that you’d mix with water for a wonderful punch. It made a brief reappearance in a regional grocery chain (Fred Meyer, a Northwest-based outfit acquired by Kroger’s a couple of years back) about four years ago, but was gone after a year or so. Wonderful stuff. :eek: I still have 5/6th of a jar of that horridly sweet junk, simply because I couldn’t possibly let it go to waste. Freddies still carries it. Where should I mail it to? 😛 JP ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by pugluvr \* > \*\*And if anyone is still making those candy cigarettes, I’d like to know about it. \*\* Probably only for export to third world countries. I used to love those things. Remember the little red spot on the end, to indicate that the cigarette was lit? Or was that supposed to be a lipstick stain? And those great, realistic cigarette packs! ---

Peach Soda- Somebody please bring back peach soda Arch Deluxe- Am I the only person who liked this? Priazzo(sp?) Pizza- Pizza Hut sold this years ago. It was real pizza pie! Mug-a-Lunch- My god! The Macaroni and chesse variety was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by furryman \* > **Peach Soda- Somebody please bring back peach soda** Well since I am the resident soda expert, apparently, try [here](http://store.yahoo.com/soda-pop/nehipeach.html) or [here](http://store.yahoo.com/soda-pop/stewartspeach.html). Also, if you click the search button on that site and enter “peach soda” you’ll get a couple more of them that are out of stock, in case Nehi and Stewart’s aren’t your brand of choice. 🙂 ---

I too loved the oven-donuts that **Ywalker** mentioned. Pineapple crush…mmmm… and Strawberry crush. Screaming Yellow Zonkers were cool but what I really want back is the fat-free Crunch’n’Munch. I love fat-free caramel popcorn because fat-free means _no nuts!_ ---

Chef Boy-Ar-Dee Mini-Bites. I loved those things so much, and no stores in my area carry them anymore. ---

\*\*Pepsi Lite[b/] available in the light blue can with the yellow lemon slice on it. \*\*Tab[b/] in the pink can. **mini-cans** - I bet you havn’t thought about these in a while. They were about half the size of regular cans and were produced by most all cola companies. My mom used to get them for me as a kid(in the 70’s) because I could never finish a whole can. Good lookin’ out, Mom! ---

When I was in Maine last ( a loooong time ago) they had, at there local McDonalds (I swear I am NOT making this up) McLobster. Any Maine Dopers out there to confirm this? Do they still have it?
