El Cerrito, CA location for the Bay Area fans
Frank N' Stuff with Chili was the best! I remember they used was Hormel chili, but, alas, there is no mention of our beloved FNS on the Hormel Web site.
If anyone out there wants to begin some kind of organized campaign to attempt to bring them back count me in.
I LOVED MAPLE BUDS ALSO AND TOO HAVE BEEN SEARCHING EVERYWHERE FOR THEM, THEY WERE THE BEST, I WISH THEY WOULD BRING THEM BACK. COUNT ME IN ON THAT PETITION TO BRING BACK MAPLE BUDS!!
i too used to love the above, i was talking to some friends who dont remember them and think im telling fibs, im only a few yrs older than them , they treat me like a freek !
Actually, it's spelled Bartles & Jaymes.
WOW. I have been thinking about these chips for years and just got aroung to looking them up on the interweb to see if I was able to order some. I guess they aren't made anymore, but I am happy to see there are other chipoholics that loved them as much as I did. Gonna try the Ruffles tomorrow.
I been talking about this gum with my brother-in-law. We both loved it and it brings back memories. It was great and I'm happy to see people here that feel the same way. Funny how "gum" has this effect. Hope it still exists and we find it...
Oh god I remember those thats what made me find this website. I just finished calling Jack in the Box headquarters to request them. Lets start a petition!!Yay Nachos!! Jack In the Box nachos are the best ever!!
The Priazzo was FAB !! I cannot believe that Pizza Hut has not brought that back. McDonald's brings back the McRib sandwich every once in a while.....why not Pizza Hut and the Priazzo. PLEASE EVERYBODY....Send a request to Pizza Hut. Ant to all of you about which one you liked best....THEY WERE ALL YUMMY !!!
I found something very similiar it's Cadbury's CURLY WHIRLY, look for it in British corner stores here or straight from the Brit's themselves.
I sure miss these chips. I ate them as a youngster. I have found none that measure up to the taste & thickness. I wish they would bring them back soon...
I like to get gigity gigity
I love chicken
shut up
I'm pretty sure this stuff is available today. I know I've seen it at the grocery store, and the Burger King by me MIGHT still have it, they did as of 2 years ago.
Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtles Pies, Comment by JeremyPittsburgh on May 08, 2008 - Report this comment
Good god these pies were so good. Perhaps the best snack pie of all time.
Man, I am so glad to see other people know of Giggles. Me and my brother used to love these things back in the mid 80's. I would really really really love to get my hands on some today.
I FOUND NYS AT BIG LOTS YESTERDAY. I HAPPENED TO LOOK ON THE SHELF AND WAS IN SHOCK. I BOUGHT ALL THE FLAVORS THEY HAD STRAWBERRY, RASPBERRY, BLACK CHERRY AND ORANGE. I LOVED THE BLUEBERRY. I HAVE LOOKED FOR NYS FOR YEARS. BUT IS NOTHING LIKE I REMEMBERED. I AGREE WITH EVERYONE. IT IS A LOT DARKER AND IT HAS AN AFTER TASTE. THEY NEED TO BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL. I WONDER IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CONSUMERS CAN DO TO BRING IT BACK. I AM GOING TO RESEARCH AND SEE IF I CAN FIND ANYTHING.
OMG... I was search today for Breakfast Squares, I googled(hard to find grocer) hoping to satisfy that taste I continuously long for. I can't believe there are others. I wan these Squares so bad. I remember chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, I don't remember it being any other flavor. I remember eating them when my Mom gave it to me and my 3 sisters and when I use to sneak and eat them. OMG, I LOOOOVVVEEE THEM SOOOO MUUCCCHHHH.
They were my favorite when I was a kid. I was so disappointed when they stopped making them. I was so excited when I saw them in a candy shop in Wisconsin Dells. I had to buy them. I feel pretty stupid for not stockpiling them then! I have been looking. Hope to find them again soon. Yummy!!!
I thought I was the only one who remembered this cereal! Everytime I mention it to someone they look at me like I was crazy.... Good to know Im not and this WAS THE BEST EVER!
I remember Shake-a-Puddin from the late 60's. It was delicious ! Can't remember who made it, but I think you added water - not milk. Hmmmm, I could go for some now...
Why Why Why, have they taken away the vanilla cookie crisp. This is a true injustice to ceral lovers. Please bring back vanilla cookie crisp.
Nooooooo! It can't be discontinued. I've been craving this gum forever, I use to get it at a local convienience store for a penny a piece. There's no other gum like it!
Does anyone remember those little puff pastry rectangles filled with sweet whipped cream and fruit jelly? They had coarse sugar on top and were really messy to eat because the sugar, and little flakes of pastry, would get all over. Half the time the cream would squirt out the sides too. I can't remember what they were called or who made them.
The best cereal ever invented was suddenly takin from me and I have not tasted heaven since. I just hope that we can unite to bring it back.
Living in Germany now they are made by Cadberry but they are called Crunch.
I so remember this stuff I used to sneak a spoonful now and again without mom knowing...YUM!!!
Why won't they make them anymore. They were the best. I've searched the internet for places all over the world that might sell them. I have found nothing. I've even tried to cantact fritos company itself and I got nothing.
hola me yamo geby
PB Maxx was the best. Who wants to bet the reason the candy was discontinued is that Reese's sued them for copyright infringement?
Oh yes! I LOVED these things. I totally forgot about the brown sugar cinnamon-y flavored ones. Mmmm. But chocolate was definitely my favorite. My guess is there's something VERY un-nutritious in them to make them so delicious and that's why Carnation isn't making them today. Man, they were good!
It is actually from Nestle: Nestle Violet Crumble Bulk Chocolate Bar

You can still order these online from Austraila. I think it is by Cadberry.
I loved giggles my sister and I would eat them all the time when we were little. They should bring back all the oldies but goodies. Any one remember Circus fun cereal? That was great too.
anyone have any luck finding the best ice cream ever made? If so --- lindarae3@hotwiremail.net
I loved the vanilla cookie crisp and wish they will bring it back to self. This was my number one cereal when I was growing up.
I used to love these things! I remember getting them with guacamole and salsa and mixing it together and diping them in it ooohhh it was one of the best foods ever! I think the last time I can remember getting them was around 1992. Can we start a petition to get them back?!

Does anyone remember a frozen dessert you could buy at the grocery store, it was marketed as kind of fancy. The commerical showed it in martini glass looking dish but it was rectangle ice cream layered with hard chocolate shell. Kinda wavy like lasanga. My mom remembers it so I know I am not crazy. I believe it came in chocolate and vanilla.---It was Vienetta.
no one has made comments in a long time..
I loved this gum; you can sometimes find it at the Dollar Store. Very sweet, but the flavour has nothing to do with soap; it tastes more like a mild berry. Supposedly "soapanin/soaponin" is a spice used in Indian desserts; that might be where the "soap" comes from.
Haven't seen this in years, but I was addicted to it as a kid. It had a pungent licorice flavour and would stain your tongue a very dark blue. Mostly I remember the "hard" quality of the stick; my jaw is sore just thinking about chewing Black Bart!
The closest Mickey Deez ever came to representing the yin and the yang of the cosmos in a single packaged burger. Obama '08!!!
Monn-Jayy, i luvv your song its like rockss. and soo does zoodles. yeah
HI yeah milgurt like rocks soo yeah
Yep, Bub's Daddy gum was one of my all-time favorites. Watermelon and grape. There was also a gum that was about as big as a deck of cards (not quite that thick) for a nickel. I used to get a major jaw ache when I chewed the whole thing. I can't remember the name of this gum.
That candy bar was the bomb. They used to sell it in a candy machine at the Shell station.I bought one almost every day.
I remeber when I had my first apartment and I lived on Summit bars and Mr. Pibb.
I miss that candy bar. It was my favorite. The fun part if it was when is would melt it was a challange to eat.
The actual name on them was hot gobstoppers
I've been looking for these for a long long time!!!
