Mama's Cookies, Comment by Nicole Walton on June 18, 2013 - Report this comment
I have been craving Mama's cookies for years now. I just had a conversation with my mom about how I would give anything to have a box of the sugar. They were my favorite with a glass of milk. Grew up in Dayton Ohio and we lived for these cookies. Please bring them back!!!!

I remember that ice cream because I live in Monroe.I use to carefully slide the chocolate shell off and eat it first. Wow good mermories!It was a family owned business and most of the family still lives here but they won't start the ice cream business again nor will they sell the recipe.We have asked so many times maybe one day they'll get tired of us asking and do it lol.
Burger King's Bullseye Burger, Comment by Jack on June 17, 2013 - Report this comment
My all time favorite 'special burger' of all time. I can confirm that it DID NOT come with Onion Rings. Just two cheese burger patties on a bun similiar to the one they use for the Chicken Sandwich (possibly the same bun?). It was amazing, it's a downer that they haven't brought this back.

Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in finding these awesome disappearing mints. Good luck everyone and happy hunting.
Air Bons, Comment by Michael on June 17, 2013 - Report this comment
The ones im looking for are all green (no stripes. My dad used to get them every week from path mart, walgreens, k-mart, hills, etc... Befor you put them in your mouth, if you were to break one in half, it would almost have a flake/layered appearence to them. However they were solid, very light and airy. Soon as you got them wet they would start to dissolve/shrink/melt instantly. I have been looking all over the internet and haved looked up everything that everyone has mentioned and I still have not been able to find them. These have no stripes, and I only remember the green ones. I have no idea if they came in peppermint or anything else. I miss them so very much and have been craving them since the 80's! I tried searching for every key word and phrase I could come up wit...and yet...nothing. Not even any pictures.
Cup Custard Cookies, Comment by Jay Mack on June 16, 2013 - Report this comment
Ah,the nostalgia, those were the cookies that grandma ALWAYS had in the cookie jar. Childhood favorite definitely. I too have looked for these cookies for many years. Would be so great to put some in my cookie jar for the grandkids. I remember the Hydrox cookies too. Yep, they were good.

For Rich, March 8, 2009- Those were called Ice Stripes and I use to get them for a quarter from the ice cream truck in Brooklyn, circa 1984

For Rhonda, May 30, 2010- I totally remember pac-man popsicles! 7-11 sold the individual lemon pac-mans while at the supermarket you could get boxes of lemon pac-mans or cherry ghosts.

I Used To Love Drinking The Matilda Bay Coolers. Both The Bottles And Boxes. Very Unique. Wish I Could Still Get Them
Fortune Bubble Gum, Comment by Alana on June 16, 2013 - Report this comment
If they bring it back the little chinaman will no longer be on it, just as Cherry Clan removed the Clan and anything Chinese writing looking, and made them Cherry HEADS. Silly yes, but that's todays world. People today are too sensitive and silly, I am Hispanic and if I saw Stereotypical Mexican or Italians on a wrapper I would not care one bit. Silly
Dunk-a-roos, Comment by Alana on June 16, 2013 - Report this comment
Dunk a Roos were being made by the General Mills Company in Minneapolis MN in 2010. Maybe they own Betty Crocker, because I do see B.C. on the packages yes. They are sold here because they are made here, I think, or distributed from this city, at least. Might be why Canada has a lot of them also, as it borders the state and in the North my old home town always carried Canadian product also. I love the cinnamon cookies with vanilla frosting with speckles
Skinny Dippers, Comment by Alana on June 16, 2013 - Report this comment
Yes Yan Yan thank you Matt! I found them again at CUB foods last week, and they are yan yan, youre right. they are similar to Skinny Dippers. People get Skinny Dippers mixed up with Dunkaroos, a lot. Dunkaroos were grahm cracker Kangaroo cookies you dipped into frosting. Skinny Dippers were cracker sticks with a side of dip, but the dip was sweet.
Ice Cream Cone Cereal, Comment by Alana on June 16, 2013 - Report this comment
Sugar does not cause Diabetes. It just aggravates it if you are already prone to it or already having troubles. I have been eating ton of sugar all my life, ate this cereal, Rocky road cereal, candy every day, Etc. and I have not got a single blood sugar blood pressure or heart issue at all and Im almost 40. These cereals hurt NO one, today kids are fatter than ever were in the 80s and it is due to lack of going outside playing, moving around, Etc. not from cereals. (end of rant) Now as far as this cereal, I loved it and would eat it ow where are some folks finding it today or even two years ago? What company made this? I liked the little cone shaped pieces, but the scoop shaped ones were vanilla or something, YUM
Otter Pops, Comment by Alana on June 16, 2013 - Report this comment
Oh by the way Jess from above stated that one coast can only carry one or the other type of either Otter Pop or Flav O Ice.In MN and surrounding areas, we carry both, even in the same stores. And my friend who lives in CA said she saw both at walgreens or someplace like Vans. So that isn't exactly a rule across the board. We also carry flav o Aide, the Kool Aid alternative with less flavor.
Otter Pops, Comment by Alana on June 16, 2013 - Report this comment
Theere has got to be a way to find and replicate the original taste for ourselves at home in ice cube or popcicle trays. I am sure we could find even the additives if any, or syrup if any nowdays. I think they had lime in them, just a little. They are made with apple juice now, maybe it was orange. I used to be very citrus sensitive as a child, but nowdays I have gotten less so and could eat many of them at once. I used to sit inside my igloo that my father made for me each winter, in the yard asa child, and eat them in there, even tho it was very cold, eating cold things. This is a favorite memory of mine.being out in my igloos, with otter pops. Thern going inside to the warm safe house I once lived in, and having cup a soup, while my father ate swiss cheese.HAHA
lipstick candy, Comment by Alana on June 16, 2013 - Report this comment
These were so sour, at least what I am thinking of was, sweet and sour candy type thing such as the types used in spree? I am allergic to lemons, artificial or natural. This candy made me break out in a rash around my mouth and I never had it after twice. I liked it though, unfortunately!
Lipton's Cup of Soup, Comment by Alana Cicchi on June 16, 2013 - Report this comment
I used to eat the regular chicken noodle one and the beef with the same noodles. When we had no microwave, we made it on stove in a little pan, after microwave, we made it the way you other folks did. Sometimes Id open the packet and eat the bouillon powder plain! lots of salt but I never cared. I have LOW BP as an adult, so it didn't kill me anyway. Sometimes I thought the cup of soup wasn't salty ENOUGH and I would sneak a second packet out and separate the powder from more noodles, and add it into my soup.
La Choy mini eggrolls, Comment by Alana Cicchi on June 16, 2013 - Report this comment
Geez I ate these all the time as a child and couldn't recall who made them. Whenever my parents would give me pizza rolls I would want the egg roll ones instead. they also has some kind of thing like these in a turkey flavor I am unsure who made that? anyone?
