Ice Cream Cake, Comment by Diamond on May 18, 2013 - Report this comment
When I was a little girl I would get Ice Cream cakes every year for my birthday. Back then Baskin and Robins had them in a case. There was a little flip book of all the designs you could get on the top.My cakes always had characters. We would take them a picture of the one I wanted and they would replicate the picture beautifully. I think I have a picture of a couple of my cakes. I remember one of Strawberry Shortcake and one of Ernie from Seasame Street. To this day I crave like crazy for an Ice Cream Cake. I ran across one in a grocery store out of the way. It was in a freezer. Every birthday I wish man I want a ice cream cake :(

Marathon Candy Bar, Comment by carolee on May 16, 2013 - Report this comment
Was my favorite candy bar. First because it was so long. And most of all because it was chocolate and caramel. Who doesn't love that ? I even remember the commercial. It was a guy in a red baron like plane. He had a big mustache.

I remember the one on the stick, our school sold them. They were the best, no other popcicle can match the flavors and colors.
Carnation Breakfast Bars, Comment by Allen on May 16, 2013 - Report this comment
I wish that the Carnation Breakfast Bars would come back. They were my favorite treat when I was young. I ate them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I could not stop at just one. I always keep my eye out for them when I am at the grocery store. They had a great texture to them and just the right amount of chocolate. I have not seen anything else that even compares to it. I think they were addictive. But, they were so good. So, please bring them back or someone needs to get the recipe and make them again. How many people have to plead and beg until these Breakfast Bars are on the shelf?? I still remember when I bit into one of those bars, it had a crunch and the taste was out of this world. And as we all chant together: Bring them back. Bring them back. Bring them back.

Whitney's Yogurt, Comment by Tommy from Brooklyn on May 16, 2013 - Report this comment
Back in the 80's (when I was in my late teens/early 20's), my friends and I would eat this stuff after we got home from the discos. It was better than dessert !!! It was so rich and creamy. And yes, the fuit on the bottom was really good quality. I think the apple raisin was my favorite, followed by the pina colada. Delicious !!! Bryer's brand with the fruit on the bottom was also good. I haven't seen Bryer's around in the last few years either.
Slice Sodas, Comment by jF on May 15, 2013 - Report this comment
Just a bit of info from a huge Apple Slice fan--from what I was told by a Pepsi executive, the company had some issue with the product being delivered and stored properly, and the result was Apple Slice cans and 2 litre bottles that were fermenting and exploding. But Apple Slice was an amazing drink, always the best of the Slice line to me. If you loved it, take a moment to holler at Pepsi Americas and beg for them to bring it back. I already have, and would LOVE to taste that delicious drink once again!

Mello-Roll Ice Cream Cone, Comment by Lucille on May 15, 2013 - Report this comment
OMG Mello-rolls, use to get mine on Henry Street Brooklyn, NY 11231 from Mimmies Candy store along with fresh dipped Jelly Apples. So was it Bryers or Bordens that made them and would still love to have one now.
