I was just talking about them to my wife's family and they had no idea what I was talking about. I remember munching handfulls of these things along with hersheys kisses and grape hi c. Friggin awsome. I don't remember them in 'the stand'. I'll have to read it again.

We used to buy O'Gradys whenever we went out in our motor boat because they didn't turn into potato dust when bounced around. God they went good with a beer. Who was the genious that allowed them to go off the market.

I actually found a bottle in the mid-late 90's...as you can imagine, it wasn't too fresh. Did that stop me from drinking it? No. People don't believe me that this existed. Every time I bring it up, people look at me like I'm a crazy person with an amazing imagination. I need an image for proof. That amazing brown label...

You can find them in France and Italy. They still taste as great as ever! I bring home about six extra boxes every time I go there.

My Dad worked for Coca Cola in New Orleans in the early eighties. One day, he brought home two coolers that were yellow on the outside and white on the inside. They were cyllindrical in shape and were emblazoned with the "Rondo" namesake. I wish I could find those plastic coolers now. They had black straps to carry them, and I'm sure they would be worth a fortune if I could find them. My Grampa took Rondo when we went out sailing. As kids, we thought it was a "grown-up" drink.

My fiance always kept talking about how when he was a kid he always loved O'Boises Sour Cream and Onion. I just stopped a dollar tree store today in MN and bought 1 bag of cheddar and sour cream for myself cuz I never had them as kid and he keeps saying I missed out and 3 bags of original. Hes excited to eat them this weekend when he comes over. I pretty much bought his childhood back =)

You could never eat just one!

I used to drink their soups out of my canteen when I was in the Army in the field. I hated field rations so Lipton's kept me going when I couldn't take another John Wayne bar. Yechhhh!! I also send it to my nephew in Afghanistan. He loves it!

Need some pics of those little Juggers, They were drinks not bubble gum. Came in packs of 24.

My mom used soup starter, and I used to LOVE it! She made some great soup!

Bring back the Yumbo !

Please bring it back... I miss it..

I have to disagree about eating the candy cigs, then growing up and smoking the real ones. I never did start smoking- it's gross! They changed the formula, like everything else, and the new ones just don't taste the same as they did when I was a kid in the 70's. I remember a slight spearminty/pepperminty flavor.

Jenny, the candy you remember was called Laffy Taffy. :)

Yes, I so remember these Big Mouth Suckers....and I do have 2 of them tucked away for just keep sakes, I've taken them out and my kids are asking "why do you have them and if your not going to eat them can we?" NOPE!! but I have the address on the back of the wrapper I'm pretty sure they were made by "Topps" I wish the company would go looking in their vault and get the recipe back out and make them, I know my kids would love to have some....

Was a single serving one bar or one box? I always got that confused.

I've found a close substitute: Izze Sparkling juice beverages. You can buy it by the case at costco (by me in NJ anyhow) and it's really very reminiscent. Google Izze and you'll see their site YUM!!

I too am a former Indiana resident who remembers Chocola. YooHoo is very close, but not as good. When i was pregnant with my oldest child, I would send my husband out for this. He'd bring it home by the 6-pack. I'm going to be in Indiana for Thanksgiving and will try to look for it. Marsh may carry it.

I remember these chips. I bought a bag on a whim back in the 70s and I was in love with them. I am in NC and they sold these chips here. I used to beg my dad to buy the big 99 cent family bag. I was a kid but I could eat the whole bag. I wish Frito Lay would bring them back. I missed that big green bag of doritos especially with a Coke.

BarBQ Pizza from Pizza Hut was the best in the world. My kids loved it and I would love to see Pizza Hut bring it back, maybe we should all get up a petition to get Pizza Hut to bring back that wonderful pizza!!!

I loved those as well...So I figured out a way to get the same taste just a little different vehicle. I order tostadas and ask that they be made on the mexican pizza shell (flour tortilla) add sour cream and you have it.

Big mouth suckers were the best lollipop ever created. i have similar sentiments to those listed above. the closest sucker i have found to a big mouth is the Paintball Pop which is at espeezcandy.com. got one in a gas station in ohio and it tastes similar to a big mouth but does not have gum. please post if anyone knows how to get bigmouth sucker.

Sadly, all I have left is this board... No alligator soup...until enough of us, and I mean hundreds or thousands - rise up and voice our demand for the return of this soup (provided they don't screw it up). Oh, and Petey: yeah, I'd hang onto that doll! Think about all those old Coca-Cola collectors items & how much they're worth! keep onto that and when your grandkids are grandparents, it'll be this ancient, priceless relic! :)

I have searched all over the country for years now looking for this gum (my travels even to me into Mexico at one time). The manufacturer of Fortune Gum was out of Brazil. They made the gum for Alberts. If I could figure out who the manufacturer was I would write them a letter; maybe we all could write to them. Im crazy enough to even consider taking out a loan to have the gum manufactured again. When I was a kid I can remember memorizing all of the fortunes; my friends would give me the first word and I would tell them the rest (I could even do them by numbers). Out of all the candy and gum I had in my childhood Fortune Bubble Gum was definitely my favorite! If any one has information please send me an email: tommyvictor@hotmail.com Im serious about getting the ball rolling to have it produced once again.

I love Vesta Beef Curry and Risotto ... got me through college days and to this day I seek it out whenever someone is coming over from England.

I always ate these when I was a kid. I can remember exactly how they tasted. I loved when you would get the flimsy greasy ones at the bottom of the box. I had the burgers a couple times too and remember the distinct chemical taste... so delicious.

Maybe there's hope. They just brought back O'Boisies chips. I'm not a big fan of those but I would knock an old lady down to get me some Corn Diggers.

I still have a few LeMenu plates but one of them says "Armour 600" on the back instead of "LeMenu" like the others. They were excellent meals but I think the cost of the plastic plates probably became prohibitive over time. The good thing is Stouffers frozen dinners are just as good but no plastic plates unfortunately.

Fresca was officially introduced in the U.S. in 1966. 2nd Diet Soda ever. First was Tab in 1963.

I called price Chopper and they are made by speciailty desserts. I can not find a phone number anywhere. When I google it...they come up but no contact info. This weekend I will look at the box and post more info. BTW they also make the snowman and mint trees. They are sold in a green box.

I love the ginerbread ice cream sandiwches. I was in Price Chopper in new Hampshire last weekend and bout a box. I can't find them in CT.

I have some Vienetta still in the boxes in my freezer. I stocked up when they came out... If anyone is interested in buying some they are $50 per box. I have 2 flavors for sale vanilla and triple chocolate. They expire in April of 2010. If grandma wants that wonderful taste in her mouth once again for Xmas (maybe her last one...) or want to show off to your friends and family during holiday gatherings. Then Vienetta is the choice for you. They will ship out with dry ice to ensure frozen delivery. Shipping is $75 for next day air (the only way it will not melt). If interested please email vienettaguy@yahoo.com... Thanks for everyone's love for a great family desert!!!!

Why oh Why, did this happen. An excellent product that was enjoyed for generations. I was not aware of this happening and was using other products thinking the shelves were just empty. In this economy it looks like a good thing should be returned.

I literally just had a conversation with people at work, and 90% of these posts were our conversation... the packaging, the Lost Boys reference as proof of their existence, the mouth-watering peanut butter. I am 32 as well. Nature Valley thinks they didn't have an interest back in the day. However, they hooked us as kids, and we'd still buy them, and we'd buy them for our kids. So their market has already doubled. All they need to do is sell them. I might send them this entire thread... which started 2 and a half years ago, haha!

I want Alligator soup! Hopefully they'll bring it back!

Pizza Hut in Illinois has BBQ Beef pizza, just got one last weekend. :)

I loved Towne Club, on our way up to our cottage, just 1hrs away in Davison, MI we used to shop at the TOWNE CLUB store... and there was a dollar store at 10 vandyke a few years back that had a few flavors of Towne club in the wooden crates...i havent been there, so im not sure if they still have any.. But I did come across plastic bottles of 2 liter Towne Club at Walgreens 13 hoover last year. they got rid of them. jones soda wasnt a seller either. what they dont know!

They do make these again, but under a different name. I was THRILLED when I came across these at a Walmart a few years back. They look and taste exactly the same!

These popsicles were amazing and I miss them so much! The brand/name of the popsicles was Mickey's Parade Ice Pops. Someone needs to write Disney and beg them to make these again! They also used to make Mickey's Parade Ice Cream bars (chocolate dipped Mickey ice cream heads) but at some point stopped production on those, too. Several years ago, though, I saw them in the store and bought them. They were under a different name, but it was the exact same thing.

Make your own - at least here in Aus - use 1 sesame seed bun such as Tip Top Hmaburger bun, 2 slices Kraft BURGER cheese slices (available but you may have to ask) handful of shaved ham. Place all in bum - wrap in paper towel or serviette and put in microwave 30 - 40 sec . Almost as good as the HJ original

Dad's Blue Cream Soda is my favorite pop. I have heard some Sheetz gas stations have it, but I have never looked. But I have found it a few places around Erie, PA, where I live.

I too remember these taffy type candies. Only saw them during Halloween but looked forward to them every year. Cherry, lemon, chocolate, grape, orange, vanilla, green apple, and licorice were among the flavors. They were great and I really would love to find them or at least what happened to them.

My parents are having their 50th wedding anniversary and I was trying to think of something to get them - perfect gift would be a monthly delivery or at least one delivery - they have never stopped talking about - can anybody help? - thanks

My wife and I have been looking for the boil in bags for quite awhile. This used to be a normal part of our weekly grocery shopping. These were absolutely perfect in size. I can't imagine that these were discontinued due to a lack in sales, as many times, the grocery store clerks had to refill these many times throughout the day. Even though my wife and I bought these religiously every week many years ago, I am confident that even with todays cost of food, I would bet that these would be a favorite again with many shoppers.
