O Boise's, Comment by Jean on March 21, 2010 - Report this comment
This was one of my fav chips when I was a little girl. My sister and I used to grab a bag and watch Golden Girls, Punky Brewster and Beverly Hills Teens lol. I loved the jingle. So catchy. I think about this chip every few years and no one knows what the heck I'm talking about. I'm excited to read that Dollar Tree has them. I'll have to check my local store to see if we have them here. Mmm, Tater Skins. Those are completely diff from O'Boisies, but still awesome. I miss those

Bartles & James Wine Coolers, Comment by 80sBoy on March 21, 2010 - Report this comment
California Cooler was first on the market with great beach party commercials. The taste was citrusy and tart. The only cooler I ever liked. Oh and Bartles and Jaymes came next and dominated with the kind of commercial muscle that Ernest and Julio Gallo could provide. The message "And thank you for your support" coming from 2 country bumpkins was a wink and nod to yuppie culture.

I don't think they ever had a vanilla version. In the 80s, it was just Honey, Chocolate & Cinnamon. Am I wrong?

Sunshine Punch Kool-Aid, Comment by Davey Is Blue on March 19, 2010 - Report this comment
The Recipe posted above from Mel31 (May 20, 2008) is close, Very close but still there is a hint of something missing. After I Googled it, there are some recipes using Cherry along with Orange and Pink Lemonade but It Is Not Right at all! Orange and just Lemonade isn't right either.
Pine Brothers Cough Drops, Comment by Liz on March 19, 2010 - Report this comment
I have constantly been on the search for Pine Brother's cough drops. Many times I would buy them instead of candy even when i didn't have a cold! I have tried many different drops, but no one has been able to duplicate that strange, but tasty cherry flavor! I am literally PINING away for them!!!
Dutch Mill Donuts , Comment by Dartmouth class of '94 on March 19, 2010 - Report this comment
It’s stirring to see the maturity level at M.I.T. is still commensurate to that of a school bus full of kindergarteners on nitrous oxide. I’d retort on behalf of my Dartmouth colleagues, but direct interaction with a communicationally deficient adolescent such as "M.I.T. '90" would is not becoming of anyone with an I.Q. higher than that of a warn bucket of piss. Besides, out of every Ivy League institution, of which M.I.T. is not a member, Dartmouth led the league in consumption of Dutch Mill donuts. But what I want to know is WHO is the individual (Jenny 867-5309) who won the Farah Fawcett look alike contest and can still fit in her bathing suit?! You still out there? If so, how ‘bout a donut and coffee on me. You pick the time and place. Of course it won’t be Dutch Mill, but we can reminisce about those great donuts, Charlie’s Angels and life before MTV.

SIXLETS, Comment by Jay on March 19, 2010 - Report this comment
They aren't fruit flavored, just really sweet. I prefer them over M&Ms. You can buy them at convenience stores and Walmart. I just bought a pack for Easter. I still haven't found the really long tubes though. I remember trying to fit the whole tube's worth in my mouth. I think the tube was about 2 1/2 feet long, and it was bliss!

Big Wheel, Comment by Ryan Wade on March 18, 2010 - Report this comment
Hi guys. I just found an Ice Cream similar to the Big Wheel(Which I first saw named The Big Otis in the late 70's, early 80's). If anyone has a Kroger's grocery store nearby, look for the Moonpie Ice Cream. Its under their 48oz. "Deluxe" brand. It tasted so much like the Big Otis/Wheel that I thought was my civic duty to let you guys know about it! Cheers! XD
Big Otis, Comment by Ryan Wade on March 18, 2010 - Report this comment
Left a comment about this in the Food of the 70's section. If any of you have a Kroger's near by, I just discovered their Moonpie Ice Cream. Its under their 48oz. "Deluxe" brand. Its the first time I've ever seen it there. It tastes so much like a Big Otis(Which was also named the Big Wheel in the Nashville, TN area at least), it had me looking for the Big O again. Found this page and the 70's page and thought this may help! Go BIG O! XD

(i used to get blueberry...)---------speaking of blueberry, remember blueberry flavored bubbilicious bubble gum? (or was it hubba bubba?) i MISS that so much!!!!!!------------finally, those frozen yogurt consistency treats in a triangle cardboard - were they flavored fruit juices? minute maid made (and still makes!) these in cherry, grape and orange. they used to make lemon (which was my favorite), but they don't anymore!!!!------------keebler magic middles were the best!!!!!!!------------remember those little wax tubes - different colors with fruit juices in them? you bit off the tip and drank the bit of juice, then you could chew up the wax after, before spitting it out.

Bub's Daddy, Comment by Bruce W on March 16, 2010 - Report this comment
In elementry school, we used to go to the five and ten store almost every day and get the ropes for 5 cents. We would chew the stuff all day long in class, trading pieces of different flavors with each other. Near the end of the school year, I went to the dentist for a checkup and he found about 9 cavities! I loved the flavor, but regret ever meeting Bub's Daddy!

Franco American Macaroni and Cheese, Comment by Deb on March 16, 2010 - Report this comment
This was a FAVORITE food of mine and my sister's growing up! I would LOVE to get ahold of it again, and my sister would go gonzo! A few years back I found some in a local dollar store, called my sister, she drove 60 miles to get here and bought every can they had! LOL It was so wonderfully creamy, and those outrageous, long noodles! I wrote to Campbell's as well, asking them to bring back the old stuff, but doubt it'll make much of a difference. But let's keep trying!

For those who still don't understand, XLNT Tamales are the ones that you can still buy today. Alex's Tamelas are long gone. You can't get them anymore! I liked them better, but they are no longer made!!! I hope that this is clear enough. We can eat the XLNT Tamales with memories of the long gone ALEX's Tamales. OK?????? This is not rocket science.

So many of you guys are getting two brands completely mixed up. Alex's Tamales were NOT the same brand as XLNT Tamales. Alex's Tamales had a different consistency and tasted different. They were my favorite in the 50's and 60's and you can't buy them any longer. Got it???? Read and look!!!
