Speaking of Cheez Balls, what classic snack would you bring back?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[LakeArenal]

1. Original Hostess Cupcakes

Made with natural ingredients and the size of real cupcakes. Twinkies or Snowballs.

Originals.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

11. Hell yea! 😋

[StinkyPete]

103. I can't go to the convenience store now and get me some Hostess cupcakes?

I could swear I saw them recently.

[LakeArenal]

105. We are talking originals

When they were made of natural ingredients and were the size of real cupcakes. Two in a pack. 12 cents.

[Laffy Kat]

119. Yes! The only ones that still tasted a little like the originals are the orange ones. nt

[Freddie]

2. The original Mister Salty pretzels

The tiny sticks in the blue box. Also Cheese Tid-bits crackers. Cmon Nabisco you can do this!

[geardaddy]

15. Yes to Tid-bits!

I loved those!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

20. Absolutely! 😋

[SummerSnow]

44. Oh yea, with the little pretzel man on the box!!! Delish!!

[Freddie]

57. I'm a "comfort eater"

Box of those things would be gone in no time after the events of today.

[ghostsinthemachine]

85. Mr Salty pretzel thins were IT!

Pretzels arent the same. A company named Anderson's have some sticks that come pretty close. Look for em.

[braddy]

3. The original Dreamsicle.

[LakeArenal]

13. My FIL was the refrigeration guy at the Dreamsicle factory.

The seven siblings got Dreamsicles, Drumsticks, Ice Cream Sandwiches, and Popsicles all the time. Sigh.

[braddy]

18. Now that is dreamy.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

21. Especially in the summer! 😋

[Freddie]

4. And Nabisco Bacon Thins crackers

Every time I really like a certain brand of something- food, toothpaste, etc. - they take it off the market. I call it "Freddie's Law of Consumer Products."

[Floyd R. Turbo]

22. Those were great with a schmear! 😋

[SummerSnow]

5. Now, these were good...

[Afromania]

6. As soon as I saw the title I came here to post this:)

I have been craving these things for two years now. They had this perfect combination of cheese flavor, crunch, and I would almost call greasy.

Aaaaaaannnnnywhoooo, don't know anything about you yet but we are now friends anyway

[SummerSnow]

43. Ikr..I remember going to the corner store when I was a kid and getting a box.

Cheez Itz, Cheese Nips don't have anything on TidBits. We should have an ode to tidbits party!

[hibbing]

10. Dayum

I have totally forgotten about those, I'm salivating looking at the box!

Didn't they also make some that had sesame seeds?

Peace

[Floyd R. Turbo]

23. They were! 😋

[Phentex]

35. I forgot all about those!!!

I loved 'em!

[geardaddy]

50. My parents always had these at parties.

I would sit on the couch and munch on them all night until they made me go to bed!

[MuseRider]

7. Just about anything before

they all started with the high fructose corn syrup. You can smell that stuff let alone taste it. So yucky. We could do with less preservatives too.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

24. Agree! 😢

[Aristus]

8. Koogle.

[geardaddy]

16. I remember that!

My mom would never get it for us. So, I had to go to my friend's house to eat it.

[Aristus]

17. We had it at our house.

At least for a while.

A while is all it seemed to last...

[Floyd R. Turbo]

25. That's one I missed! 😢

[shenmue]

9. Carnation Breakfast bars

Large, salty, rectangular granola bars. Lots of chocolate chips. Chocolate coating.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

26. Yep! 😋

[vercetti2021]

12. Crunch Gators

I loved those.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

27. Indeed! 😋

[LakeArenal]

14. Also, Dairy Queen used to make Dilly Bars.

All flavors (loved butterscotch) and they gave away free ones on some lucky sticks.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

29. They don't make Dilly Bars anymore? 😢

[LakeArenal]

42. No.. No flavors no free sticks.

I feel bad now. Kennedy resigns and you find out from me there are no more Dilly Bars.

What a buzz kill.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

49. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse! 😢

[LakeArenal]

56. No shit. 😧

[Callmecrazy]

97. They still make 'em...

I'm eating one right now.
Don't judge me . I've had a very hot, sweaty day.

[LakeArenal]

100. Judge you??? Envy, covet, maybe!!

[StinkyPete]

101. I was about to say, I saw Dilly bars in S.Carolina last time I was there. NT

[geardaddy]

51. They still have butterscotch and cherry where I live

https://www.dairyqueen.com/us-en/Menu/Treats/Dilly-Bar1/

Of course, I live in the area where the DQ HQ is. (Twin Cities area, MN)

[LakeArenal]

58. Can not MN quit making WI feel our losses so badly?

Man... if you aren’t careful you may experience an influx of Dem. Dilly fans.

[geardaddy]

61. You're welcome to come on over!

[LakeArenal]

65. That's more welcoming than I feel here.

Thanks. 😀

[geardaddy]

66. I understand.

My brother lives in Green Bay. It's very red there.

We need more Dems in MN to keep it blue!

[raven mad]

70. I miss DQ, period -

we don't have any here!

[LakeArenal]

72. Yikes. The world is really going to hell.

[raven mad]

74. Long ago, LOOOONG ago when I was in high school

We had "open lunch" and could leave the school grounds. DQ was right. Across. The. Street....

There were 2 here; both franchises owned by the same folks. THey left during the pipeline bullshit.


SIGH.............

[LakeArenal]

75. My condolences.

[raven mad]

76. LOL! Last trip "outside" we both pigged out........

[LakeArenal]

78. Sounds like a movie. Escape To DQ Mountain

The Ice Cream Games.

[raven mad]

83. We pretty much hit every DQ from here to Merritt Island, Florida....

Found out first stop it isn't logical to try to eat a chocolate dip cone on a motorcycle that's moving.....

[LakeArenal]

84. Good tip.

[braddy]

19. Fizzies, the soft drink tablet

[Floyd R. Turbo]

30. Yep! 😋

[LeftInTX]

52. Just add baking soda to any citric acid drink, such as Kool Aid or Tang!

That is what Fizzies were.

[Kittycow]

59. We would just lick Fizzies..

and had very colorful tongues!

[bif]

115. You can get them here...

https://www.theonlinecandyshop.com/Fizzies

[braddy]

116. Unfortunately they quit making them again, it has been a come and go product, that is

why that source is "out of stock".

[Freddie]

28. THANK YOU for this thread

We all need something to take our minds off the nonstop horrible news today.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

31. My pleasure!

[C_U_L8R]

32. Screaming Yellow Zonkers

As much fun to eat as they are to say.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

37. The greatest stoner snack ever created!

[C_U_L8R]

41. Nom nom nom

[Floyd R. Turbo]

48. Far out!

[SonofDonald]

80. Indeed!

I bought some a few years back at one of those lower price food stores.

Now you got me wanting to go find them again, wonder if they're online?.

[SonofDonald]

81. Walgreen in 2012, may still stock them

I thought it's been around 6-7 years ago I found them, Walgreens website next

Lincoln foods

[SonofDonald]

82. Walmart also at that time.

[geardaddy]

33. These:

Also Screamin Yellow Zonkers



Space Food Sticks

[Floyd R. Turbo]

38. Yep! 😋

[MichMan]

106. Space Food sticks were hideous

I ate them when I was a kid because astronauts ate them and no one was cooler than an astronaut around the time of the moon landing. Looking back they tasted terrible

[geardaddy]

34. Here's a great list of old snacks/drinks

http://www.mikanet.com/museum/gallery.php?cat=FOOD

[Runningdawg]

45. Those bins of Brocks candies at the grocery store

So you didn't have to buy a whole bag of the same thing.
Shake Pudding
Chick O Sticks
Clove - Teaberry - Blackjack and Stripe Gum
For the longest time there was a bookstore in Tulsa that got some around Halloween. I bought it by the box. Yes I know I can order it online. I want to buy it at the convenience store.

[LeftInTX]

53. I miss those Brach's bins!!!

Shake pudding was too much work - LOL

[geardaddy]

54. Brach's

Yep, I remember those huge bins of assorted candies.

[Runningdawg]

67. Fuck it! Let's get loaded! 🥃

[LakeArenal]

73. Oh. I thought I was....

🍷🍹🚬

Ah much better. Hey Floyd, when you’re right you’re right.

[Duppers]

110. "Clove - Teaberry - Blackjack... Gum"

Most definitely.

👍

[Laffy Kat]

120. Cloves gum, yes yes. I used to be able to buy it at Crackle Barrel but....

They finally stopped production a few years ago. LOVED that gum.

[Ohiogal]

46. I don't remember the name

but I remember some snack crackers that looked like two little waffles with a really cheesy spread in the center. They might have even come in a tube shaped package..... anyone remember those?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

62. You can still get those. I think the ones I used to buy were Lance!

[seaglass]

89. I know exactly what you're talking about, they were good. My dad use to pick the best snacks

but was not great about sharing.
Similar to these:

Beer Chasers


Bacon Thins:

[SummerSnow]

47. You have to remember the original Doritos, tasted better back then.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

63. Yep! 😋

[Kittycow]

60. A FULL Cracker Jack box with REAL toys!

All you get today is a little popcorn, a few peanuts, and some little piece of paper.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

64. Damn straight! 🤬

[Wolf Frankula]

68. Perky Pies

Best snack pie ever. Haven't seen them in 40 years.

Wolf

[Floyd R. Turbo]

69. Never had Perky. I think Hostess had something similar! 😋

[choie]

71. Corn Diggers!!!!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[Floyd R. Turbo]

93. We can still buy them here! 😋

[Runningdawg]

108. We have them in Tulsa

[Mendocino]

87. Bubs Daddy

5 cents for a stick of gum about a foot long and as big around as your little finger. For 10 cents, Mouthful gum, about the size of a wallet. I also remember Goldrush Gum, yellow chunks that resembled pebbles and came in a little cloth bag.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

94. Missed those!

[area51]

88. Vermont Country Store

has a few of the older candies.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

95. Indeed!

[malthaussen]

90. Popsicles, I think.

Yeah, I know you can still get boxes with some flavors, but it was nice to take your nickel (which you probably got from collecting deposit bottles and returning them for a penny each) and go choose among about 27 different flavors of Popsicle. Root beer, lime, those blue ones that I don't know what they were supposed to be... Dreamsicles and Fudgesicles and the like were a dime, so I stuck mostly with the cheaper pops.

-- Mal

[Floyd R. Turbo]

96. I think blue was raspberry! 😋

[Callmecrazy]

98. Bring back the Original Coca Cola...

The one with cocaine.

118. Kraft Bacon Cheese Spread

See this jar?



Way back when, they made the same stuff but with bacon in it. It's quite a bit thicker than Cheez Wiz, and more cheese-like.
