Chocolate Cream Pie from Baker’s Square/Villiage Inn resturants. Stuff was the food of the Gods. One day it disappeared. The would bring it back every few years and you would have to fight like gladiators to get it before they sold out for the day. Then it would disappear again “because it didn’t sell well enough”. Bastards. ---

Emperor’s Choice tea. I shake my fist at the sky with impotent rage each time I think about it. State Line potato chips. Undina birch beer. And B and J’s coconut almond fudge chip. ---

> [@Doug\_K](#): > > Giant SweeTARTS. Not the chewy ones they make now, but the the ones that were a scaled up version of the regular ones. Too hard to bite, too big to put in your mouth, so you had to lick or suck the edge like a large lollipop. I loved those too! Not surprised they were taken off the market though. No one I knew licked or sucked them, you had to gnaw for full appreciation; and they lasted for hours. Major cavity promoter… White Wine Worcestershire sauce by Lea & Perrins. I’ve found it on line, reasonably priced, but the shipping will cost… Sugar Free Tang~ ---

Jovan musk oil in the little brown bottle. I wore it behind my ears in high school and every cute boy in the class would flirt with me. I was the IT girl when I wore my Jovan musk oil. I ran out of my last bottle just before I left to go to college, and the college boys didn’t give me a second look. I KNOW it was because I didn’t have my little brown bottle of Jovan musk oil. If only I could find another bottle, I’m SURE I could recapture my youth…🙂 ---

> [@Son\_of\_a\_Rich](#): > > Roman Meal bread. At least I can’t get it around here ☹ Now you done gone and made me sad. Google shows that it’s still made, but I haven’t seen it around my parts in a couple of decades. I still go on occasional quests to make the sandwich that epitomizes childhood for me (the one my dad first taught me to make, somewhere around the age of 6), but I can never find the right bread. I’ve had very well-meaning people approach me in the grocery store when I’ve stared overlong at the bread selection, asking if I needed help buying bread (yes, I can look like a clueless husband dispatched on an errand beyond his ability). I respond that “I’m trying to recreate a childhood memory, and looking for a suitable substitute,” and they understand (or at least pretend to). That aside, Pete’s Wicked Mardi Gras was a favorite beer of mine for two years. It was an early-year seasonal, and I discovered it in its second year of production. Beautiful ginger bite, though it’s been long enough that my memory may deceive. I loved it in '96 and '97… And then it was gone. I don’t know if I would even like it today. But I loved it then, and it was cruelly snatched away in its prime. ---

Probably why I like them, since I’m from “thar.” And Just-Rite chili—can’t find that either, here in the wilds of FL. But I did track down canned shelly beans (spelled “shellie” in memory.) ---

Jumpin’ Jack Cheese Doritos. Crunchy Cheez Doodles. (They still have puffy ones but those aren’t DOUBLE FRIED.) I remember that being on the package. Cheetos are good but not the ascent into the ethereal bounds that those things were. When I used to wear perfume, every one–EVERY SINGLE ONE–was dropped after I’d gotten complimented on it. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Now I just use body sprays. Every time I like one and I get complimented, when I go back to get more? They’ve discontinued it. EVERY SINGLE ONE! They ARE watching us!! ---
