I remember them, seems like the packaging was light yellow and orange with mountains behind the word “Summit” in brown lettering. Pretty yummy.
I also realized I can no longer find Chewels chewing gum, I know it came in more than one flavor, but I liked the spearmint best. And yeah, look@hergo! Corn Diggers were a lot like Bugles, salty corn goodness exactly! hehe
When I was around 11 or 12, in Albany, Georgia, they used to have sour cream & onion flavored Doritos. And they were soooo good!! It sounds like a gross combination, but they were really tasty. I miss those.
A lot of the items mentioned here are on this nostalgia website, Food of the 70s. There’s also a page for the 80s and 90s. Magic Shell chocolate sauce! Is that stuff still around?
That stuff is awesome! I used to dump some in a bowl and stick it in the freezer just for the chocolate. It’s still around.
Just remembered Taco Flavor Doritos. Not Nacho (which will always be with us), but Taco. Those were goooood. Those with an icy Pepsi on a hot summer’s day – what more could you ask for?
I think you can still get taco flavor Doritos. I see them occassionally. I’ll have to try and pick some up-now I’m jonesing for them, hard core!
At one time there were pizza flavored ones. Not bad, but not something I miss, per se.
There used to be a candy bar called Bar None-I think it had a wafer inside, with chocolate and caramel or something. I always liked those.
Frito-Lay is very discontinuance-prone. There have been about a dozen Doritos flavors which came and went; my favorites were Pizza Hut and Taco Bell (they actually had the logos on the bags.)
More recently there were the Lay’s “Taste of America” (Monterey Pepper Jack, Santa Fe Ranch, Chicago Steakhouse Loaded Baked Potato, etc.) potato chip flavors, none of which I ever tasted because they only came in the freakishly-huge bags. They looked interesting, but I wasn’t about to buy two pounds of chips which I might not even like! Also, these flavors were deliberately sold for only a few months each; what’s the point of that?
Guinistasia: I believe Bar-None changed its name, unnanounced, to Whatchamacallit. If I recall correctly, the Bar-Nones left the shelves at about the same time the Whatchamacallits arrived. If it’s not the same thing, they’re very, very similar.
I completely forgot about this gum until I read your post. I can smell them too!
Another childhood favorite of mine was Bun Candy Bars. I liked the vanilla better than the caramel or maple.
I remember going to my corner store and buying cotton candy that came packaged in a foil-lined paper bag. It was always two colors, - I think one half (lengthwise) would be pink and the other green. It also came in blue and yellow if I’m not mistaken.
And one more vote for Space Food Sticks! Gosh, I loved those, especially the peanut butter flavored ones.
Those were my favorite, too. There are, what, about 10 flavors right now and none of them is quite right. They just don’t capture that “greasy chips doused in cheap taco seasoning powder” that the originals had.
Wow, what a lot of memories get stirred up by this thread.
I never cared much for Jello 1-2-3 but they also produced Spoon Candy about the same time and I adored it. It was not a pudding exactly, more mousse-like, with a chocolate topping that hardened into candy. Great stuff.
I also miss 7-up candy bars with seven different fillings. I’ve tried Skybars but they’re not the same.
I also remember a grape version of Tang which I liked.
Sigh.
No, I don’t think so, because I can remember Whatchamacallit bars being around since I was little, but “Bar Nones” were only around for a brief time.
Me! I remember those from college! I think I ate a whole box at one sitting more than once. I’d eat them till the insides of my mouth were raw.
There was a cookie from about the same period called (I think) Duet. It was sweet and salty both, and I liked them a lot. I think I was maybe one of 5 people in America that did, though.
Dixie Cups. At least, that’s what we called them: a paper cup of ice cream, half-vanilla, half-chocolate. You ate them with a thin wooden spoon.
Anyone remember those metal candy displays with the picture of the candy on the outside edge?
I’m glad I’m not the only one to remember these things, though I remember them being called ‘space food’. Anyway, I haven’t had one in going on 30 years now.
They were “space food sticks”. Here’s a picture of one of the early ads for them:

Apparently you can still get them at http://www.spacefoodsticks.com/spacefood/preservation.html
My husband was on a constant lookout for Nacho Cheese Hamburger Helper for a couple of years, but I think he’s given up on it now.
These are pretty long lost to me, since I don’t do a lot of eating at my old elementary school cafeteria, but I really loved those big rectangular slices of hamburger pizza that they served. They also had chocolate covered peanutbutter balls for dessert sometimes, and those were great too.
Oh! I hit post, and then remembered mine.
Keebler had Magic Middles cookies, which were pretty much chocolate filled sugar cookies. I don’t think they make them anymore, as I was never able to find them when I looked on the cookie aisle.
Grapeasaurus Rex Kool-Aid. I think it was a grape-lemonade mixture. I drank gallons upon gallons of this stuff one summer, and then they quit making it.
Kreamy Kurl Honey Buns. I lived on these and strawberry soda in high school (And yet then, I was skinny as a rail.). They were honey buns with some kind of creamy vanilla pudding filling and chocolate icing. So freaking good. When I worked in the library in college I discovered that the snack machine in the basement had these every once in a while and got hooked again, but I haven’t seen them in a while.
Most recently, Taco Bell offered a Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito. They were only 99 cents, and they were really, really good. I pulled up and ordered one a couple of weeks ago, only to hear that they no longer offer those. 
Bugles, Pizza Spins and Daisies were made by the same company and introduced at the same time. Daisies were a sweet salty corn cracker shaped like a flower.
Remember flavored peanut butter–chocolate, vanilla, banana and cinnamon? I’m not big on peanut butter, but I loved that stuff.
In an episode of the Nanny, her mother brings out some 1-2-3 for dessert. She says “Ma, they haven’t made that since the 60’s.” Her mother replies “I was saving it for a special occasion.”
