You're right about the green poop! We had a green poop epidemic in my fraternity house from that stuff. Still, it was awesome.
Yes. They revived it last year. I didn't get to try it when it was first out. But, last year's stuff was horrible!
I remember these little round watermelon candies that looked like..well, watermelons. They were deep green on the outside and red on the inside. Not sour, kind of chewy. Anyone got a name for them?
We just found some XLNT Tamales at a local grocer, and they are NOT what they used to be :(
After I got home with them, after not having one in years, I was horrified by the smell, and taste. However, the "use by date" said to use product by 2 days ago, so they might be bad, but even so, they still smell really funny.
I'm hoping they are just bad, because I loved these tamales as a kid growing up in Long Beach!
Burger King's International Chicken Sandwichs, Comment by a.m.b on May 10, 2008 - Report this comment
I would always get the italian and never eat it. It was way to messy. the five other flavors we all unique and i dont think anybody would ever put ham on a chicken sandwich again
that pizza tasted better then any of the crap they sell today. Truely delicious and alot of pizza when your 12 years old.
Thank you :) I wish they'd start making them again too!! We should write Mars Company and ask them to!!
OMG,I'm so glad so many other people remember these! I have never been able to find one person who remembers them, thought maybe I was going crazy. I grew up in Mass, only about 25 miles outside of Boston, and we had them there. I wish they'd bring them back!
I love Harbor Bars. I grew up in Maine and we would travel for miles to get them. I have tried the new ones and they are just as good. Check out your smaller mom & pop grocery stores to find them!
MAN, DO I MISS THESE!!! I AGREE WHOLE-HEARTETLY WITH WHAT EVERYBODY SAID. I LOVE BITING MICKEYS EARS OFF. I WISH SOMEONE WOULD MAKE THESE AGAIN!!! :-( AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION SHAWN, THEY STILL MAKE PUSHUPS, BUT THEY ARE SCOOBY DOO NOW INSTEAD OF FLINTSTONES.
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.
