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 also have had the new pudding pops, they are NOT the same as they used to be!! The old ones were creamy and smooth just like puding- the new ones are artificial tasting, although remeniscent of the old ones. Why do they mess with perfection? And the bite size peanut butter granola was DELICIOUS also. I dont recall the name, but nature valley made it i'm almost sure. I recently saw bite size granola in a pouch in the supermarket, however I believe it was made by Quaker. I havent tried it yet.

Vachon Bakery (Canada) used to sell products in New England during the 70's to mid 80's- rectangle puff pastries filled with fruit and creme w/sugar crust on top called "Flakey Puffs" (Passion Flakes in Canada) and "Puff Pies"-rectangle pastry 'napoleons' with frosting on top (called "Milles Feuilles" ("1000 layers") in Canada). Vachon pulled out of the New England market in the mid 80's after being bought by a bigger company. "Drakes Cakes" sold "Pick 'M Ups" (Flakey Puff Clone) until the mid to late 90's but they too discontinued what I consider the greatest snack of all time... The FLAKEY PUFF!!

Del Monte wasn't the only company that made canned pudding. Both Swiss Miss (of cocoa fame) and Hunt's, a company which, even to this day, is best known for its canned (yuck) tomato products also made canned pudding. Both companies still produce a line of pudding today, only now they're in in plastic cups.

I know Jello Pudding pops are mentioned frequently, but I swear I remember eating fruity flavored ones as a kid- the consistency of a pudding pop, but the flavors were like raspberry or cherry. Does anyone else remember this or am I nuts?

Does anyone remember a fudge-y snack cake that was coated with a layer of powdered sugar? I think they were round or oval. And I used to get them from the snack bar at one of the high schools in the city where we lived in the southwest. They were fabulous. Sweet, fudge-y and soft. But they were hard to find, even back in the day, or maybe my mom just didn't want me to have them. Anyway, she bought them a couple of times and then they just disappeared. Sometimes, I can still taste them -- the memories are so vivid-- but I don't remember what they were called or who made them. They were like ding dongs, only I know they weren't ding dongs. Individually packaged in a single serving size. And the closest thing I can find on the market now to recreate the flavor memory is a fudge-flavored pop tart. But it's not the same! This has been driving me crazy for years and I would love it if someone out there knew what I was talking about and could at least tell me what they were called and who made them. Please help!

I know what you're talking about - they always used to have these in the gumball machines at K-Mart and Pizza Hut, etc. Came in green, orange, yellow, red, purple. But I don't know what they are called.

I remember the bacon flavored chips that looked like bacon strips and had a texture like Munchos! Didn't remember the name being Baco's. Were they Prontos or was that another chip?

What was the name of the Christmas cookies in the red plastic package wrapped in cellophane? They were sugar cookies with multicolored sprinkles in roundish shapes and there were 10 stacks in the package. You could see the cookies through the cellophane and they were always at the end of the aisle in the grocery stores here in SC. They were the greatest!

Does anybody remember a canned pasta calle 'Pizza O's? I think it was made by Franco American at the time. Nobody seems to remember them. I wonder if they're still sold in other areas. They were the BOMB!!!
SZA - August 02, 2009 - Report this comment
I don't remember anything specifically called 'Pizza O's', no, but I have a distinct memory of a Franco American canned pasta whose "gimmick" was that the sauce was PIZZA-flavored, not just plain tomato. I think THINK that it even came in little traingular pizza slice shapes, but I could be imagining all of this 100%. (Power of suggestion thru SHEILA's question??)

The bacon strip chips were called Betcha Bacons. They used a little kid whose name was Mason Reese and had red hair and freckles. the jingle was "Betcha when you buy a box, you wished you would of bought a batch".

Lea, Could they have been Archway? If you look on Youtube under Archway holiday cookies there is an old commercial.

Does anyone remember the square soft cookies that came in a pink package. the cookies had raisins and were drizzled with white icing. I don't remember who made the cookies..maybe Nabisco. but they stopped making them around the mid 80s. i also remember the gingerbread cookies with red spinkles that the Winn Dixie bakery sold. if i could find either of these cookies i would be a happy lady.

SZA - those were called Commodores. We use to eat them with hoop cheese growing up and they were SO good. I have been looking for them for years. I think Jack's cookie company use to make them. They were a crunchy, buttery cookie and you can see the sugar crystals on them. And yes, they had a beautiful flower shape.

Does anyone remember these? They were triangle-shaped cheese crackers with a powdery cheese on them. They use to be in a small blue bag wtih a clear triangle in the middle so you can see the crackers. They were soooo cheesy and so good!

Carnation Breakfast Bars!! Cinnamon and Chocolate were the BEST!!! And Fruit Striped Gum... And these small individual pizzas that came in a stack of six (i think) and were held together with red vinyl-like straps. And remember when Burger King tried a "wait staff"?

Thanks, REBA! Oh, and I just remembered exactly what that Franco American pasta with the pizza shapes and pizza-flavored sauce was called ... it was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pasta!! (Of course.)

Does anyone remember the Sweet Potato snack cake? It was shaped like a half moon, so moist and rich. I think Dolly Madison or Mickey's use to make it. When we were little, me and my brother would buy all the ones on the shelf because they would sell out so fast.

I totally remember Ecto-cooler from back in the late 80's...it was lime green and kind of burned your throat a little when ou drank it! I also remember bugging the heck out of my mom in the check-out line at the grocery store to buy me Chewels gum. It was square shaped gum with a liquid goo center!

Does anyone remember square shooters? I remember them as late as 1991. They tasted like a jolly rancher on a stick. People think I made this up. Also, remember the smores that came in pre-packaged 'envelopes' that you could microwave...they were good, I forget the name or who made them.
