Time Machine Grocery List

FunnyFace Drink mix

If you drink it, will your face Freeze That Way?

canned chicken and dumplings … I don’t remember the brand name all I know was the can was blue white and rather large I think the chicken was separated from the noodles and sauce hence the huge tall can and grandma said it was rather expensive for the time (mid/late 80s )

Only reason she bought it is it was one of the rare things id eat when I was a kid and the others loved it …

I haven’t seen it in years …

Was it “Sue <something>”?

Sounds familiar.

There was also a brand of baked beans with a small can of “fixings” taped to the top.

I’d stock up on the ORIGINAL McDonald’s French Fries.

Royal Pudding, with baseball cards printed on the back of the box. Those cards now sell for hundreds of dollars. In fact, grab up all the packs of Bowman and Topps baseball cards from 1949-52.

And all the beer that will fit in the time machine, before Miller and Bud grabbed all the breweries.

Here’s one that’s still around and is exactly as I remember it.
Except the price. $1.09 for 3/4 oz. :eek:
Botan Rice Candy.

Picture.

See above.

I don’t know if it still carries the perfume, or cologne, called Evening in Paris. It was popular from the 20’ to the 50’s, then was discontinured. It’s now back in small amounts, and is quite expensive.

I have an empty bottle of the cologne, from before 1926, and there’s still a fragrance one can smell. It was saved by my grandmother, who attached a little note to it. “Emil gave me this before we were wed” Emil was, of course, my grandfather. I’m so sentimental, I value stuff like that more that most other possessions.

Sweet Sue chicken and dumplings.

I seem to remember a short can sitting atop a taller can affixed to it with tape. Couldn’t find a photo of that, though.
mmm

Sorry, lost track of where I was in the thread.

The old line of Zingers products with Peanuts on the packaging

Breakfast squares

Libbyland Dinners.

Neon Oreos – circa 1989-90, IIRC.
Tasted the same, looked wild.

Wasn’t that Laura Petrie’s neighbor Millie at the switchboard?

What would be nice would be Crackerjack boxes from when they had something other than a paper “prize” in them.

My grandparents’ cheese from the Swiss co-op.

I don’t think 16-ounce bottles ever had the original bottling location on them. That was only seen on 6.5-ounce and 10-ounce bottles. By the time 16-ounce bottles were introduced, many bottlers were switching to Chattanooga Glass bottles for all sizes, which only had the disappointing concentric Cs on the bottom.

Nitpicking done; buy me a case of Chipsters.
