@@truth4004 Here's something I like to do. Take a half pint of whipping cream and a package of. Jello instant pudding blended together and fold into bowls or pie crusts
Does anyone here remember when the 100 grand chocolate bar was the $100,000 bar, all spelled out like that and packaged in a similar fashion as the Marathon Bar? It was huge! And it only costed a quarter!!!! Those were the days! 💯😂
@Barefoot Kid59 And Marathon Bars here in Canada were called "Wig Wag" ! We also had our own marshmallow monster cereal call "Frankenberry" which was pink and "Count Chocula" which was of course chocolate ! Pizza Spins and Onyums were eaten a lot in our household as well as TV dinners! What a great time to be a teen !! 😄
I remember that Hickory Farms boxes were the ideal thing to send people as holiday presents (either when you couldn't think of anything else - or last minute gift)
Chicken in a biscuit are still my favorite crackers by far, and the bacon thins, my gosh stuff had flavor back then, so did the music, cars and clothes and people. ✌️🇺🇸
The Dolly Madison snacks(Googles) got changed into what we now know as "Zingers" one was raspberry/coconut,one was like chocolate cake( with chocolate icing),and the 3rd was a yellow cake with creme filling similar,but not the same as a Twinkie...
Yep, Zingers were a regular snack in my lunch as a kid. I liked the raspberry ones the best, and I've made a Raspberry Zinger cake several times as an adult.
@@leehuff2330 I am crazy about anything horseradish, and mix my own cocktail sauce, just mix it with ketchup. To me, the first wonderful sign of Christmas was when Hickory Farms set up shop at the malls. One day, kids will ask, "What's a mall?"
Anyone remember Hi-C in the metal can? The razzy cakes remind me of round versions of Dolly Madison's line of Zinger snack cakes. I think the Peanuts characters also promoted Zingers at one point.
@@michellemoore4585 Oh yeah. Lunch made by my mom. She used Miracle Whip and wheat bread, as she wasn't a fan of white bread. Too processed, or something. Good times though. Love you and miss you mom!
Quisp was my all-time favorite cereal. My brother-in-law recently found it in a supermarket in Ambridge Pennsylvania and got me a box. It did not taste the same and I was devastated

There are 2 products I remember exclusive to the 70s. Freakies cereal (had several cute monster characters) and Hostess O's...powdered donuts with raspberry filling inside. I miss those! Great video!
Sitting here almost in tears over a food video.. smh.. My goodness how this has made me so homesick for my childhood. I've had many of those items with some of my favorite being the Kellogs Danish rings, the chocolate pudding is the small can, the Swanson t.v. dinners and many more. Koogle was a treat when I would spend the night at my cousins house. I would take the old days anytime over modern times..
Same! I’ve had that homesick feeling so bad, that I converted our bonus room into 60’s and 70’s. I’m finding copies of things I remember from childhood to decorate with. I even found a copy of the same string art sailboat that my mom did. Now I need a box of Pizza Spins!
Me too!! How about bosco! Add it to milk and boom chocolate milk!! Candy watermelon slices. Once in a while dad would pick us up over lunchtime at school. Then he would stop at this little shop and we would get to pick out what kind of penny candies we wanted. Then he'd take us back to school. So many memories. I am a boomer. 🙂🌞🇺🇸❤🙏
I loved them!! There was also a snack in the 80s keebler twists theu had 3 flavors i think but my fave was cheddar omg so good. Also anyone remember o'boises?? "O' boises are o' boisterous" i can remember the commercial jingle vividly lol..again more of an 80s snack i think
Mom said those were too sugary I'm like 10end of seventies honey comb was the accepted not TonyTiger, til older not super sugar 🐻 had to wait boy was I disappointed only fruit loops lived up the hype, boy Was mom right older, teens,I preferred Grape Nuts with real fruit in it not artificial flavors
@@michaelbonilla7186- The recipe has changed. I used to get BooBerry and FrankenBerry, around Halloween when I was in undergrad. But I bought them when I had kids in the 2010's and they're different.
When my mom went to work in the 80's I remember Grape nut cereal a high fiber cereal and I often ate it with warm milk. It made it more like a nutty flavored mush.
@Space Private, Parent's would get upset, cuz we would dig into the cereal fishing for the toy LOL. However, it seems maybe a year or years later, can't remember which, but they start putting the toy, inside the box but separate from the cereal, like on top of the bag lol.
Think it was alpha bits had a glow in the dark ball that seriously glowed bright, brighter than any thing else. But that was before they deemed the chemical poisonous
Out of all these I remember going to the mall with my family and the hickory farms would always have samples and of course my mom had to buy what it was good times
Pudding in a can! Holy crap, I remember eating Del Monte canned chocolate fudge pudding as a kid in the 80's. Forgot all about that stuff. Way better than snack pack.
I loved the Mug-O-Lunch beef/noodles. Tasted great, and super easy to make. Paired well with a frozen burrito. Ho Hos used to come wrapped in foil too, going back to the 60s for that one possibly.
Really enjoyed this being born in 1962 . Thanks !!! As a kid back then I couldn't get enough of "Chicken in a Biscuit" crackers ......... and still will manage to grab a box on occasion even today.
@@RhettyforHistory When you first showed the Pizza Spins I was thinking, "I don't remember that." But then you showed another picture of them and I could taste them. Huh. I guess I do remember them.
I used to live Pizza Spins. We didn’t get a lot of chips and snacks as kids so I didn’t have them but a few times but they were always my favorite. I wish I could try them again to see how they hold up to the competition of today’s flavored chips and snack bags.
I’m a 70’s/80’s kid and a lot of that I didn’t remember. But that banana cream cake sure looked good! And I do remember Ding Dongs being wrapped in foil. Here’s one: La Coy Chinese food in a can… my mom used to make it all the time (unfortunately). 🤢 I think they still make it but I don’t know who would want to eat it. 😂
Good mythical morning on TH-cam did a bit where they investigate as way old products like the fizzie drink your talking about. They said it still tasted good after that long
I remember having to choose between quisp and Quake. I still see Quisp in the dollar store today! I wish some of these Foods were still around! Love the feeling it brought back of my childhood!
I do remember Quaker pitting Quisp and Quake against each other in some strange marketing competition and Quisp won. I loved them both and lost Quake and never understood why. King Vitamin just wasn't the same. Hadn't thought of this in (50?) years.
Another great walk down memory lane Rhetty! Man did I love those Swanson meatloaf dinners but many a brownie was served with the side tomato sauce on it 😮
It was so much better, in so many ways! We weren't overweight, didn't have to worry about our schools/churches/malls being shot up, and I honestly can't remember being a slave to fashion, except for banana purses, Levi's, and Bastad clogs, but maybe that was just me! We didn't have to look at someone's butt-crack, or their underwear, and we didn't need Ring Security Doorbells, cos we didn't have "porch pirates", etc., etc. It drives me nuts, when someone says things are the same now, as they were yrs ago...that we just have more info now. To some extent, that's true, but largely, nope, it's not true! I'd go back in a heartbeat!
@@qmnnvrdyz8965 I miss the music and listening to the radio and the cartoons on Saturday mornings. The commercials also that advertised all of the cereals as part of a complete breakfast. No kid wanted that toast and juice and fruit…just the cereal!
They really led the quick breakfast area for awhile. Now there are a lot more options but I always liked Carnation. Thank you for watching and giving us another to rememeber.
Amen! There was another "breakfast bar" (they were all just sweets) called Breakfast Squares that I used to eat like a candy bar or cupcake. Thats because they were basically a dense, square cupcake. I loved those! Wish they'd come back.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I remember eating Mug-O-Lunch as a kid in the late 70’s or early 80’s. I think it was a beef flavor. It was delicious and more substantial than the “Cup of Soup” items we buy today.
With all the old candies out there, what I miss most are fizzies. Fizzies would go good in lunchboxes. Similar to Alka-Seltzer except when you dropped it in water it turned into cola root beer, orange drink, or lemon drink and they were carbonated.
Nickles bakery used to make a nice variety of sweet pastries about 20 years ago, and even trays of hot cross buns for Easter. Then they quit baking everything but bread and buns and maple or cinnamon pull apart rolls (and i just now realised i dont see those now!!!???)....guess they didn't want to be "bothered" with making that other stuff anymore....🙁😒
I grew up on most of this junk. "Tang" was one of my favorite drinks. These 70s foods were highly processed, loaded with sugar and preservatives. We thought that was all pretty great! lol
Just about every cereal at the time bragged about the sugar. Sugar Smacks, not Honey Smacks (Sugar Bear was the mascot) Sugar Frosted Flakes, not Frosted Flakes.
Don, how true! Every item that I experienced as a 10 yr old from this great video I was able to recall the textures and tastes. In some cases, how they made me feel emotionally! Like the Space Bars - I lobbied my mom to get them for me because I was such a fan of NASA. Those bars were odd, though enjoyable. “I’m eating spaceman food! Thanks Mom!” Loved showing them to friends at school during lunch.
I know what you mean. I only have to see a bag of Bugles and I can taste them because I completely over ate them as a kid. I know those were from the 60s and not part of this video, but just the fact that seeing these items brings back sensory memories is amazing to me.
If there's any more follow-up videos, I implore you to include PDQ. They were little flavored pellets that you added to milk. My favorite was the egg nog flavor, but there was also chocolate and strawberry.
Wow ur the only one who I've ever known other than my family who used to drink the egg nog pellets...been looking for it for years...still have found nothing like it!!
Anyone remember the “Spree” candies when they were sold in glossy paper pouches with different 70’s flower child type photos on each pack. I literally remember the being something like .10 cents apiece!
I miss Lemon Cooler cookies by Sunshine. They were small, round, bite sized cookies dusted with powdered sugar and had lemon zest “pellets” baked inside with a deliciously sweet, lemony flavor.
Awesome retrospective! And _SO_ cool that you included Hickory Farms. I had an uncle who sent my family one of those appetizer packages every Christmas, and remember how everything was neatly displayed in that bed of artificial grass. It always felt like a premium product, and a special treat. I miss those days. 🙂
My older sister had a boyfriend who was so stingy, his idea of a date was to take her to Hickory Farms and they'd nibble on all the free samples they had out.
I hear you Mimi.Its amazing how how these items bring out the melancholy in us. I too feel old, just had a birthday a couple days ago, all I can say now is I'm still young at heart and holding onto these memories. Take care Mimi and you too hold to them,they're awesome.
The 'cowboy guy' advertising the Marathon Bar was Patrick Wayne, John Wayne's son. I remember most of these cereals. I remember a Raisin Bran cereal but the raisins were squished into flakes, it was so much nicer to eat than Raisin Bran. Also Quisp and Quake were so popular. There was a jello mix called 1-2-3 that formed 3 layers, it was so fancy. And Dream Whip, non dairy whipped topping was so good.
Oh THANK YOU for the wonderful trip down memory lane. Food yes, but it brought back Mom, Dad, siblings AND our childhood friends- of course we would share a box of Ding Dongs with them!Again, THANK YOU !
My heart broke when they discontinued Marathon bars, but in 2002 I took a trip to England and discovered Cadbury's Curly Wurly. Same exact bar, you can even order them on Amazon!
Yes, we didn't brag about the eight full inches in England due to our humour. But yes if you want to wrap your mouth around a brown, eight incher, then Curly Wurly's will satisfy you.
The Marathon bar was my absolute favorite! I can remember saving up my change or doing chores so I could walk to the store and buy one....or two. I love this channel, gives me a quick stroll down my memory lane. Oh how I miss the 70's and 80's.
The Dolly Madison snacks (Googles) were my favorite after school snack. yellow cake filled with cream and coated in vanilla icing with toasted coconut topping.
I was born in 60, and grew up with all of this stuff. My gosh, how I would love to go back to those times. I so miss it. Not to mention how collectible a lot of those boxes are.
@@shellylyndsley394 hey, so far I’m the youngest here…that doesn’t happen to often anymore…lol! We had the best damn youth it was AMAZING! I only wish we knew it at the time. But in some strange way I think we did.
Does anyone remember around 1970 when they had hockey puck sized sweet tarts? I loved those! I would lick them so much that my tongue would bleed. And my mom would tell me to lay off them so my tongue could heal!
I remember most of these, and I really liked the Danish Go - Rounds and was almost as disappointed at their cancellation as I was when Kellog's dropped Frosted Dutch Apple Pop Tarts.
Your videos are wonderful! ❤ Thank you for the great nostalgic journey to the past! I love those Screaming Yellow Zonkers! You missed my absolute favorite snack from that era though, Flings. They were a predecessor to Cheetos, but made, I think, by Nabisco. Very tender texture and super cheesy. They came in a box like crackers instead of a bag like Cheetos. They're no longer available, but Utz makes a close substitute in texture and taste, though different in appearance.
If I remember right, Space Dust was like Pop Rocks. OMG! Reggie bars & Marathon Bars! Totally remember walking to the corner store with my allowance to get one of those. You didn't talk about it, but showed the picture of the squeeze cheese in the plastic tube wrap. I remember you had to pop the cap off & cut slits in the plastic to squeeze the cheese out.
@@littleredhen2894 it's on MeTV everyday at 5pm edt. After Wagon Train and The Rifleman. My favorite channel. Loony Tunes Leave it to Beaver and Perry Mason every weekday morning starting at 7am
I really enjoyed this video especially the highlight of malls and the Hickory Farms stores, which played a significant role in my teen life. I’ve now saved several of these videos to show my kids, so many things things I’ve told them about! Thanks you it is heartwarming to visit my youth!
@@robinhood480Yeahhhh, I suspect your memories are different than mine regarding artificial flavouring. I can remember my Mom claiming it was all in our heads that artificial flavouring could cause mental or emotional health problems and she wasn't going to be one of THOSE women who would read labels just because of some marketing guru's campaign.
My Mom had a rule that whoever had the last bowl of cereal got the toy. When I was 8 it dawned on me if I got up real early, I could dump the cereal into a large bowl, remove the prize, carefully put the cereal back in the box and claim the prize. When the cereal box was empty, my Mom would say "I guess there was a glitch at the factory'. It took her two years to discover what I was doing and then only because my Dad had driven all night to come home early from a business trip.
They still did this in the early 2000s but later down the line you had to mail in these forms to get a toy and I believe you still had to pay for shipping too
Aspen soda was the BEST!! It was much crisper and more tart than the Slice apple soda. It was so good that when given the chance, I'd choose it over any other soda...and I was a Coke addict!
Brings back a lot of good memories! Ding Dongs wrapped in aluminum foil were one of my favorite treats back then along with the Reggie bar! Hope you make more videos like this, I really enjoyed watching it!
Being born in 1963, I remember most of these snacks. Some were fun and very tasty at the time. Bring back Pizza Spins and an all natural banana flavored peanut butter! Herr's Deep Dish Pizza curls taste alot like those Pizza Spins, FYI.
I loved Space Food Sticks, Koogle and Marathon Bars. I remember that the milk chocolate which coated the Marathon bar wouldn't adhere very well to the caramel the bar was made of. And so, as soon as you took a bite, it start to fall off in shards and chunks into your lap.
Cadbury Curly Wurly bars are the same as the Marathon. I've ordered them online and also have found them at a candy store, but I think they are made in England so they cost more to get them here in the US.
Occasionally I see those on the shelves. It doesn't quite taste the same in my opinion but maybe it's in my head. Sure would like to have them side by side.
@@charitysbizarre4365 , alternatively, you can go to a store that specializes in international foods, as they can sell snacks from around the world as well.
Oh so many memories! We still have hickory farms stores at Christmas in Arizona. I remember these tidbits! As soon as they popped up I could remember what they tasted like. I also vaguely remember them being in a mix called doo dads?
Great video! Oh, do I ever miss those Nestle Alpine White candy bars! REAL white chocolate and slivered almonds. They used to sell them in the vending machine at work. Whenever they filled the machine, I emptied it.
@@duckduckgoismuchbetter They didn't, well not with almond slivers anyway. If you like white " chocolate " Reese's makes white chocolate seasonal candies: Easter eggs, Christmas trees, and Valentine hearts. Hershey's sells a few white chocolate candy bars, too.
How about. CHUNKY bars. Who knew chocolate. Raisins and nuts could go together so good. And. Almond clusters. Or the original MARS BARS when there were 6 almonds across the top of the bar. One almond for each bite
Anyone remember the 'Sea-Pak' TV dinners?? 10 or 12 tater tots, 1 large fish stick, 1 round Cod patty, 3 scallops and 3 shrimp. They were simple, but great !!
Ok, loved Danish-go rounds! Also, Nabisco made the Mayfair cookie assortment, that had many sandwich cookies. That was my favorite. They also had the Famous cookie assortment. Pillsbury had the turnover kit with the filling in a plastic sausage- looking tube. It even came with a pyramid shaped icing tube. Memories of fun snacks.
As a teenager of the 70's I remember most all of these products, especially Space Food Sticks haha. I was a competitive weight lifter and used them as a diet aid to lose weight to make my weight class, I can taste them now just thinking about them!
@@RhettyforHistory Rhetty, I'm curious, what's that music playing at the end of this video? I like it! I'd reallly like to know the origin of it......I'd love to be able to hear it in its entirety. Thank you!
I remember all of those. Had those Dolly Madison with Charlies Brown and such on them. They were not that bad as I remember. One cereal I remember was " Quisp". The box had a pink kid on it with a propeller sticking out of his head. In the TV ads he would fly around. I did a Google search and looks like they brought it back sometime after it was discontinued in 1975.
I know of Quisp but I never had it. I did however enjoy Dolly Madison and I wish they were still around. Thank you for watching and sharing your memories!
@@RhettyforHistory, Back in the 1980's on first ship we were talking about things from our childhoods that were no longer made. One guy started talking about Quisp, how much he liked it and wish they would bring it back. His wish came true, you can buy it along with everything else on Amazon. LOL
@@RhettyforHistory Quisp had been brought back since quite a while back. I've even seen it on the shelves in a local supermarket. However, Quisp also had a rival, Quake, which, as far as I know, never came back... & neither did its spin-off, Orange Quangaroos. Freakies--another great '70s cereal. There was an altered version in the '80s, but they never brought back the original. They also never brought back Ka-Boom cereal.
Quisp was the bomb along with freakies, you could find me on most Saturday mornings in front of the TV watching Bugs Bunny with a small mixing bowl a box of one of those cereals and a glass bottle of milk cause we had our milk delivered. Those really were the days.
I also remember having rice with milk butter and sugar as a breakfast meal. I also remember having toasted bread with milk, butter and sugar for breakfast.
Me too! Loved the vanills and the cinnamon ones best. And the jars were in our garage for years afterwards holdings screws and nails. Think they pulled it off the market because of some sketchy ingredient (Red Dye #2?).
When Mom and Dad went out on the weekends we got Swanson TV dinners. I loved them! Turkey with dressing was my favorite, chicken and Salisbury steak were pretty tasty too. Simple times were so very good.
I credit Salisbury Steak tv dinners with making me into a vegetarian.... Can't remember the brand (was Banquet around in the 1960s?) but the texture was awful. Mom inflicted tv dinners on us when she was too tired to cook. I didn't mind the mac&cheese ones but the meat types are an unpleasant memory. But Salisbury Steak was absolutely the worst of the bunch for me.
Yeah, there could be a whole video on that. My favorites were the balloon powered car and boat from Freakies cereal! I always seemed to get the dark green "Boss Moss" though!
I was as excited to open the box of cereal and would be very excited and happy when I got a spin top I would play with that all day long I thought it was amazing👍

Still are
I remember sampling them at the mall.

I've had many of those items with some of my favorite being the Kellogs Danish rings,
the chocolate pudding is the small can, the Swanson t.v. dinners and many more.
Koogle was a treat when I would spend the night at my cousins house.
I would take the old days anytime over modern times..
Thank you for watching Laura. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed this one and it brought back some good memories.
!!! I understand I usually cry over old-fashioned content and products like this to I always well up and feel very sad for so much of this gone by
Same! I’ve had that homesick feeling so bad, that I converted our bonus room into 60’s and 70’s. I’m finding copies of things I remember from childhood to decorate with. I even found a copy of the same string art sailboat that my mom did. Now I need a box of Pizza Spins!
Me too!! How about bosco! Add it to milk and boom chocolate milk!! Candy watermelon slices. Once in a while dad would pick us up over lunchtime at school. Then he would stop at this little shop and we would get to pick out what kind of penny candies we wanted. Then he'd take us back to school. So many memories. I am a boomer. 🙂🌞🇺🇸❤🙏
Me too, im collecting vintage avon
Man I wish they still made tidbits they were so good.
Thank you for watching and letting us know which one you would love to see back!
I loved Tidbits! I enjoyed the shape and eating them! For some reason, it made it more fun to eat!
A staple of my grandmothers, coupled with white wine, every evening while watching Laurence Welk show, the bubble man music :) !! Stay blessed
I loved them!! There was also a snack in the 80s keebler twists theu had 3 flavors i think but my fave was cheddar omg so good. Also anyone remember o'boises?? "O' boises are o' boisterous" i can remember the commercial jingle vividly lol..again more of an 80s snack i think
I remember them well. Delicious
Frute Brute still comes out (along with Franken Berry, Boo Berry, and Count Chocula) every year during the Halloween season...
Yeah, it came out last year as part of their 60th anniversary, but it had no taste, i was a big fan back in the day and was disappointed
Mom said those were too sugary I'm like 10end of seventies honey comb was the accepted not TonyTiger, til older not super sugar 🐻 had to wait boy was I disappointed only fruit loops lived up the hype, boy Was mom right older, teens,I preferred Grape Nuts with real fruit in it not artificial flavors
@@michaelbonilla7186- The recipe has changed. I used to get BooBerry and FrankenBerry, around Halloween when I was in undergrad. But I bought them when I had kids in the 2010's and they're different.
Tried frankenberry this year, threw out. Nothing like it used to be.
They’re not the same though- the monster cereals used to be oat-based, not the corn of today. I miss the oats!
When my mom went to work in the 80's I remember Grape nut cereal a high fiber cereal and I often ate it with warm milk. It made it more like a nutty flavored mush.
Euell Gibbons liked grape nuts cereal and "pine trees are edible". LOL🤣
GrapeNuts still exist. I have a lemon puddjng cake recipe made with GrapeNuts.
Very crunchy 🍇 nuts only quote healthy cereal I ever loved not sugary at all felt as a kid hated Total,specialK , Raisin Bran. Now Muslix great taste
They Still make grape nuts. Just had some this morning, yum! I do miss Crispy Critters.
Never liked grape nuts. Half a bag of sugar and a half a gallon of milk and they were edible. No thanks.
Anybody remember the Frito Bandito erasers you would get in a bag of corn chips?
I still have 1 today in a box in the garage with some other old things like clackers and a troll doll.
As a kid I saved my allowance to buy a box of fritos so I could get the bandito eraser. Thanks for reminding me.🧚♂️
I do 👍🏻
I still have mine! It’s in a jar with all my littles from the 60s and 70s!
The Frito Bandito would cause some mostly peaceful protests today.
I was born in 1960, so these are all part of my teen years. What a magical time it was...
All us great people were born in 1960. 👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
Born in 1962 and I agree. I don't like today. I miss the 70's
Me too December 31st 1960.
"Magical" is right! That's the best word for it.
I was born in October 1960. I was a teen in the 70's and it was great.
I was always amazed at the Promo toys added to all those cereals. Some worth collecting.
@Space Private, Parent's would get upset, cuz we would dig into the cereal fishing for the toy LOL. However, it seems maybe a year or years later, can't remember which, but they start putting the toy, inside the box but separate from the cereal, like on top of the bag lol.
Capn Crunch had some good ones.
Think it was alpha bits had a glow in the dark ball that seriously glowed bright, brighter than any thing else. But that was before they deemed the chemical poisonous
Out of all these I remember going to the mall with my family and the hickory farms would always have samples and of course my mom had to buy what it was good times
Pudding in a can! Holy crap, I remember eating Del Monte canned chocolate fudge pudding as a kid in the 80's. Forgot all about that stuff. Way better than snack pack.
Why they stopped making it, I'll never know. Certainly people didn't stop buying it!
My mom used to get them for my school lunches
The butterscotch was really good
Hunts snack packs in a can yes I do remember.
I remember those pizza spins! Sooooo good!
Thank you for watching Sandy!
i can still remember the taste.. i wish they came back...
I loved the Mug-O-Lunch beef/noodles. Tasted great, and super easy to make. Paired well with a frozen burrito.
Ho Hos used to come wrapped in foil too, going back to the 60s for that one possibly.
Omg FOOD STICKS!! I can almost taste it now!! I loved those weird things 😅
Thank you for watching and letting us know you loved them.
I did, too. I used to plow through a box of Chewy Chocolate sticks every week.
I would buy a box and eat them in one sitting!
I loved them. I can still remember the taste.
Right! Love space food sticks I can still remember them too! So glad to meet some fellow spaceheadz
Really enjoyed this being born in 1962 . Thanks !!! As a kid back then I couldn't get enough of "Chicken in a Biscuit" crackers ......... and still will manage to grab a box on occasion even today.
They are a great snack! Thank you for watching!
Yeah!!!
Chicken in a Biscuit is still my favorite cracker
I LOVE THOSE CRACKERS!!!
I love those, even now! Do you remember Sociables? In various shapes - with poppy seeds! Can't find those for the life of me!
@@RandyMony Sociables were big for cheese in my house.
I'm calling for the immediate reinstatement of Banana Flips and Pizza Spins.
I'm surprised we haven't seen them again. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory When you first showed the Pizza Spins I was thinking, "I don't remember that."
But then you showed another picture of them and I could taste them. Huh. I guess I do remember them.
I used to live Pizza Spins. We didn’t get a lot of chips and snacks as kids so I didn’t have them but a few times but they were always my favorite. I wish I could try them again to see how they hold up to the competition of today’s flavored chips and snack bags.
I remember pizza spins- they were actually pretty good!!
I can't tell you how much I love banana flips. So many people have no idea what they are.
I’m a 70’s/80’s kid and a lot of that I didn’t remember. But that banana cream cake sure looked good! And I do remember Ding Dongs being wrapped in foil. Here’s one: La Coy Chinese food in a can… my mom used to make it all the time (unfortunately). 🤢 I think they still make it but I don’t know who would want to eat it. 😂
OMGosh I remember La Choy they also had bagged crispy noodles
I used to eat chocolate Koogle out of the jar when I was a kid! Loved that stuff! It drove my mom crazy!
I also remember Fizzies Drink tablets. They turned a glass of water into soda.
Yes they brought them back in the 90.
Sometime you could find them in a mall candy store.
I remember putting fizzles in a fish tank in Grammer school.chris
Good mythical morning on TH-cam did a bit where they investigate as way old products like the fizzie drink your talking about. They said it still tasted good after that long
That brings back memories of summer and Fizzies as our favorite drink.
Loved them. 👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿🇺🇸
I also enjoyed the Morton’s frozen donuts and the boiling bags that were similar to TV dinners, only boiling bags were cooked in boiling water.
Thank you for watching and mentioning a few more things.
@@RhettyforHistory you’re welcome
And listed by amount of ingredients...gravy and turkey, because there was more gravy than meat. Used to eat it over bread or toast.
Yes, the little frozen cake donuts! I loved those!
OMG..boiler bags, yes. Were horrible, but we ate tons of them.
I remember having to choose between quisp and Quake. I still see Quisp in the dollar store today! I wish some of these Foods were still around! Love the feeling it brought back of my childhood!
I do remember Quaker pitting Quisp and Quake against each other in some strange marketing competition and Quisp won. I loved them both and lost Quake and never understood why. King Vitamin just wasn't the same. Hadn't thought of this in (50?) years.
Another great walk down memory lane Rhetty! Man did I love those Swanson meatloaf dinners but many a brownie was served with the side tomato sauce on it 😮
I think that the snack nostalgia I'm feeling has more to do with missing the way the world used to be, than it is for the snacks.
That's one of the only things good about TH-cam
IF WE ONLY KNEW BACK THEN‼️I WOULD GO BACK IN A HEARTBEAT💯
YES,couldn't have said it better,Kimberly❣
It was so much better, in so many ways! We weren't overweight, didn't have to worry about our schools/churches/malls being shot up, and I honestly can't remember being a slave to fashion, except for banana purses, Levi's, and Bastad clogs, but maybe that was just me! We didn't have to look at someone's butt-crack, or their underwear, and we didn't need Ring Security Doorbells, cos we didn't have "porch pirates", etc., etc. It drives me nuts, when someone says things are the same now, as they were yrs ago...that we just have more info now. To some extent, that's true, but largely, nope, it's not true! I'd go back in a heartbeat!
@@qmnnvrdyz8965 I miss the music and listening to the radio and the cartoons on Saturday mornings. The commercials also that advertised all of the cereals as part of a complete breakfast. No kid wanted that toast and juice and fruit…just the cereal!
I miss the Carnation Breakfast Bars. They stuck around until the early 80s if I recall correctly.
They really led the quick breakfast area for awhile. Now there are a lot more options but I always liked Carnation. Thank you for watching and giving us another to rememeber.
I still miss those, too!
Carnation Instant Breakfasts were good. Like a chocolate malt
Amen! There was another "breakfast bar" (they were all just sweets) called Breakfast Squares that I used to eat like a candy bar or cupcake. Thats because they were basically a dense, square cupcake. I loved those! Wish they'd come back.
me to i still look for it
Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I remember eating Mug-O-Lunch as a kid in the late 70’s or early 80’s. I think it was a beef flavor. It was delicious and more substantial than the “Cup of Soup” items we buy today.
With all the old candies out there, what I miss most are fizzies. Fizzies would go good in lunchboxes. Similar to Alka-Seltzer except when you dropped it in water it turned into cola root beer, orange drink, or lemon drink and they were carbonated.
That sounds like the Zots fizzy candies.
Yes, fizzies were my favorite!! Loved the root beer flavor!!
I was born in 1963. What a trip down memory lane.
Thank you for watching!
I was born in the same year! A lot of the products I don’t remember but some of them brought back memories.
Me too but 62
62 for me, and right there with ya....
@@scottrussell6717 Congrats on 60 yrs, Im right there with you
I love seeing these olds snacks that aren’t here any more. I absolutely loved banana flips. I am 64 so this was my time!
I'm really surprised those have not made a comeback. Thank you for watching.
Those were my favorite too!
Nickles bakery used to make a nice variety of sweet pastries about 20 years ago, and even trays of hot cross buns for Easter. Then they quit baking everything but bread and buns and maple or cinnamon pull apart rolls (and i just now realised i dont see those now!!!???)....guess they didn't want to be "bothered" with making that other stuff anymore....🙁😒
Banana Flips!!! Loved 'em!!
I don't think they'll return anytime soon seeing as how they're discontinuing ChocoTaco's.
I know! 💔
I actually took banana flips in my lunch box in the 60's. Loved them!!!
I was born in 1957 and loved the 70’s!!! Graduated in 1975 married 1979!! Good times!💖💕
I grew up on most of this junk. "Tang" was one of my favorite drinks. These 70s foods were highly processed, loaded with sugar and preservatives. We thought that was all pretty great! lol
Yes we did! And these things are still very much a part of the stores. Thank you for watching!
It's worse now, sadly.
Look up the death
of health food fanatic
Jerome Rodale
& the long life of Dr. Pepper
fan Elizabeth Sullivan.
Oh yeah, weird tasting Tang. But I loved it!
Just about every cereal at the time bragged about the sugar.
Sugar Smacks, not Honey Smacks (Sugar Bear was the mascot)
Sugar Frosted Flakes, not Frosted Flakes.
“You can’t eat a Marathon Bar quick, Claude.” Remember that? It was one of my favorites!
I miss the Reggie Bar tasted better than Babe Ruth bar .
You forgot Kaboom cereal…it had a clown on the front of the box. My favorite cereal. Loved that stuff.
There are a ton of cereals around then that I did not mention. Too many to list really. Thank you for watching!
Kaboom's was my favorite. Only got it once in away. Mom preferred I eat Cheerios which I also liked lol.
I think my dad bought that for me in the 90s. Did it have marshmallows???
Corny Snaps were good too.
I remember that cereal
It’s amazing that I could actually smell and taste many of these vintage treats in my mind as I watched these memories. 😋
That's awesome! You have a great memory! Thank you for watching!
Don, how true! Every item that I experienced as a 10 yr old from this great video I was able to recall the textures and tastes. In some cases, how they made me feel emotionally! Like the Space Bars - I lobbied my mom to get them for me because I was such a fan of NASA. Those bars were odd, though enjoyable. “I’m eating spaceman food! Thanks Mom!” Loved showing them to friends at school during lunch.
Yum yum yum ,!!!!! 😋 I think my tastebuds are homesick for the 70s foods
Yes. Me too
I can recall what this stuff tasted like. Lol
I know what you mean. I only have to see a bag of Bugles and I can taste them because I completely over ate them as a kid. I know those were from the 60s and not part of this video, but just the fact that seeing these items brings back sensory memories is amazing to me.
If there's any more follow-up videos, I implore you to include PDQ. They were little flavored pellets that you added to milk. My favorite was the egg nog flavor, but there was also chocolate and strawberry.
We used to have PDQ eggnog at Christmas. I loved it 😄
Wow ur the only one who I've ever known other than my family who used to drink the egg nog pellets...been looking for it for years...still have found nothing like it!!
I liked the strawberry PDQ
Anyone remember the “Spree” candies when they were sold in glossy paper pouches with different 70’s flower child type photos on each pack. I literally remember the being something like .10 cents apiece!
What about FLICKS they came in a tube
I remember Bottle Caps, they were soda flavored candies.
@@eagle2D2 how about FLICKS they were like Hershey's kisses but came in a tube
@@wadeadams4263never had those!
I miss Lemon Cooler cookies by Sunshine. They were small, round, bite sized cookies dusted with powdered sugar and had lemon zest “pellets” baked inside with a deliciously sweet, lemony flavor.
OMG I was talking about that one with my coworkers a while back! Lemon Coolers were SO GOOD 😋 I was really bummed when they were discontinued 😢
I remember these, but not with the lemon pellets.
I loved Lemon Coolers!
I loved those too. And could knock out a whole box of 'em in about 2 days...
Those were awesome. I thought they were still around.
I was born in 1967 so I was a kid in the 70s.. I remember almost all of these, only a few I don't recall seeing.. but I enjoyed this, thank you ❤️
I was born in July of 67. Really enjoy these flashbacks. They bring back many forgotten memories!😺
I was born in 1959 and I remember most of them but I like some of them I don't remember all of them. I grew up 'the 60s-'70s
Oh this took me back to my childhood in the 1970's. So many of these products I remember vividly and several I never heard of.
Yep the green beans stuck and baked in the brownie just ruined it for me! 🤣 Who remembers the cereal Freakies? Miss that one!
Awesome retrospective! And _SO_ cool that you included Hickory Farms. I had an uncle who sent my family one of those appetizer packages every Christmas, and remember how everything was neatly displayed in that bed of artificial grass. It always felt like a premium product, and a special treat. I miss those days. 🙂
Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories.
My older sister had a boyfriend who was so stingy, his idea of a date was to take her to Hickory Farms and they'd nibble on all the free samples they had out.
maybe I'm wrong but...this Christmas, my daug got a hickory farm cheese/ sausage gift.
Yes they sell the little sets in Walmart. Not quite the variety of the old stores.
Being from Ohio, these stores were a big thing in Malls. A great gift to get my dad every year. He wouldn’t complain cuz it was food.
Wow! This was my childhood foods and snacks! Shedding a few tears😢 because I now feel so old. Where did the years go? It seems like only yesterday.
It does go by fast! Thank you for watching!
I agree Mimi
@@RhettyforHistory are these even still around
I hear you Mimi.Its amazing how how these items bring out the melancholy in us.
I too feel old, just had a birthday a couple days ago, all I can say now is I'm still young at heart and holding onto these memories.
Take care Mimi and you too hold to them,they're awesome.
I remember most of these products too. The 70's was my childhood decade as well.✌🏾👊🏾
The 'cowboy guy' advertising the Marathon Bar was Patrick Wayne, John Wayne's son. I remember most of these cereals. I remember a Raisin Bran cereal but the raisins were squished into flakes, it was so much nicer to eat than Raisin Bran. Also Quisp and Quake were so popular. There was a jello mix called 1-2-3 that formed 3 layers, it was so fancy. And Dream Whip, non dairy whipped topping was so good.
They still have Dream Whip today. I keep a few boxes of it to make different desserts and pies. It's so good.
Your videos are amazing. I feel like a Time traveler .
Thank you for watching and I'm happy to know you are enjoying the videos.
I loved 'Space Food Sticks' and 'Carnation Instant Breakfast'.
I still remember the taste and texture of the space food sticks. My favorite was Carmel.
@@gaiamagick4082 Yeah! Mine was too.
I forgot about the carnation instant breakfast. I had the space food sticks also but didn't like the consistency
Never was too crazy about the Space Food Sticks but Carnation Instant Breakfast I consume to this day!
@Barefoot Kid59 I'd buy them if they were available.
So many memories. Whatever happened to "King Vitamin" cereal? I loved it as a kid, maybe the name didn't have a lot of appeal.
That would probably be a good guess on that. Thank you for warning David!
I could swear it was "King Vitamin",
but I may have bern wrong.
I keep finding contradictory evidence
that it was "King Vita-man".
@@laustcawz2089 I remember it as King Vitamin as well. Gold plated spoons made up the Kings crown.
It tasted like Cap'n Crunch.
@@laustcawz2089 It was King Vitaman.
I love how you opened with Space dust! Lol I love all these videos. Great childhood memories.
Oh THANK YOU for the wonderful trip down memory lane. Food yes, but it brought back Mom, Dad, siblings AND our childhood friends- of course we would share a box of Ding Dongs with them!Again, THANK YOU !
My heart broke when they discontinued Marathon bars, but in 2002 I took a trip to England and discovered Cadbury's Curly Wurly. Same exact bar, you can even order them on Amazon!
I too remember buying the Marathon bar often. I vaguely remember thinking it was bigger or more satisfying. In those days it was $0.20.
I’ve ordered them previously. You’d swear it was a Marathon bar!
Yes, we didn't brag about the eight full inches in England due to our humour. But yes if you want to wrap your mouth around a brown, eight incher, then Curly Wurly's will satisfy you.
Thanks for the info 👍🏻
My root was measured with the marathon bar about 1980 !
I loved those banana flips! so many great foods, ugh, wish they would bring some of them back
I haven't seen the banana flips in years but maybe they will make a comeback some time. Thank you for watching!
Little Debbie has a banana twist that is close Dollar General has them most of the time
If they did bring it back it wouldn't be the same... The manufacturers will tweak the old recipe and it wouldn't taste the same....
The taste wouldn’t be the same. They’d add soy and corn and all the chemical junk that they original didn’t have.
About two years ago here in southwestern VA and north east TN the grocery chain Food City brought them back for a while and they were delicious.
The Marathon bar was my absolute favorite! I can remember saving up my change or doing chores so I could walk to the store and buy one....or two.
I love this channel, gives me a quick stroll down my memory lane. Oh how I miss the 70's and 80's.
Marathon and Rocky Road were my favorite candy bars
The Dolly Madison snacks (Googles) were my favorite after school snack. yellow cake filled with cream and coated in vanilla icing with toasted coconut topping.
I was born in 60, and grew up with all of this stuff. My gosh, how I would love to go back to those times. I so miss it. Not to mention how collectible a lot of those boxes are.
I was born in 62 and I was thinking the same thing, how collectible are these today?
Born in 61, I hear ya!
@@shellylyndsley394 hey, so far I’m the youngest here…that doesn’t happen to often anymore…lol! We had the best damn youth it was AMAZING! I only wish we knew it at the time. But in some strange way I think we did.

@@TinCupChalice40 times were better then, we didn’t have much but we didn’t NEED much , my childhood years are my happiest memories.
Does anyone remember around 1970 when they had hockey puck sized sweet tarts? I loved those! I would lick them so much that my tongue would bleed. And my mom would tell me to lay off them so my tongue could heal!
Yes
@Thomas Drish loved them!
Yes I do because I loved Sweet Tarts
@African American the hockey puck ones were hard just like the small ones. They treated your tongue like they were sand paper.
Yes!! Totally forgot about them. Loved them 😋😋😋
I remember most of these, and I really liked the Danish Go - Rounds and was almost as disappointed at their cancellation as I was when Kellog's dropped Frosted Dutch Apple Pop Tarts.
Your videos are wonderful! ❤ Thank you for the great nostalgic journey to the past! I love those Screaming Yellow Zonkers! You missed my absolute favorite snack from that era though, Flings. They were a predecessor to Cheetos, but made, I think, by Nabisco. Very tender texture and super cheesy. They came in a box like crackers instead of a bag like Cheetos. They're no longer available, but Utz makes a close substitute in texture and taste, though different in appearance.
If I remember right, Space Dust was like Pop Rocks.
OMG! Reggie bars & Marathon Bars! Totally remember walking to the corner store with my allowance to get one of those.
You didn't talk about it, but showed the picture of the squeeze cheese in the plastic tube wrap. I remember you had to pop the cap off & cut slits in the plastic to squeeze the cheese out.
I totally remember running home after school and measuring my root with the marathon bar
Pop rocks were some of my favorite they came out in 1975 I believe Big league bubble cum!
Great times growing up in the 70s! Great snacks and great TV shows too.

I really enjoyed this video especially the highlight of malls and the Hickory Farms stores, which played a significant role in my teen life. I’ve now saved several of these videos to show my kids, so many things things I’ve told them about! Thanks you it is heartwarming to visit my youth!
I love how they used to proudly display the word "artificial" on the package.
They were upfront and honest. Thank you for watching!
Not just any artificial...
But Genuine Artificial Flavour
I’m 54, remember all this. Thanks 😊
yeah lol like artificial was an advancement.
@@robinhood480 🤣🤣 Yes - GENUINE - the good stuff !
@@robinhood480Yeahhhh, I suspect your memories are different than mine regarding artificial flavouring. I can remember my Mom claiming it was all in our heads that artificial flavouring could cause mental or emotional health problems and she wasn't going to be one of THOSE women who would read labels just because of some marketing guru's campaign.
I miss the prizes in the cereal boxes. Always looked forward to opening the new box before my brother did.
Me too! Me & my brother would shove our whole arm into the box just to get the prize out lol! 😂
There 6 of us kids so all the prizes went into a cookie jar and when we had 6 we would each get a random prize.
My Mom had a rule that whoever had the last bowl of cereal got the toy. When I was 8 it dawned on me if I got up real early, I could dump the cereal into a large bowl, remove the prize, carefully put the cereal back in the box and claim the prize. When the cereal box was empty, my Mom would say "I guess there was a glitch at the factory'. It took her two years to discover what I was doing and then only because my Dad had driven all night to come home early from a business trip.
i loved the sub
They still did this in the early 2000s but later down the line you had to mail in these forms to get a toy and I believe you still had to pay for shipping too
What a great time to be alive. So many yummy snacks with happy characters. The elevator music was perfect for this.
Aspen soda was the BEST!! It was much crisper and more tart than the Slice apple soda. It was so good that when given the chance, I'd choose it over any other soda...and I was a Coke addict!
I LOVED Banana Flips! There was so many delicious treats back then! Thanks for the memories!🥰😁
I took them in my lunch box
Banana Flipps were the bomb ever try them with a tall glass if Nestle Quick Chocolate
Milk.
@@jimmyhamm6041 omg yes that was awesome
Brings back a lot of good memories! Ding Dongs wrapped in aluminum foil were one of my favorite treats back then along with the Reggie bar! Hope you make more videos like this, I really enjoyed watching it!
The original Hobos is foilmas well as the Ding Dongs were my fave. And the Suzie Qs!
Back when ding dongs weren't the size of a modern- day oreo. 🙄
I miss Swanson dinners from back then, everything was more pure and natural then 😊
I miss the cherry apple dessert then they changed it to a brownie 👎
I was a teenager, so it was the "Hungry Man" size for me.
Being born in 1963, I remember most of these snacks. Some were fun and very tasty at the time. Bring back Pizza Spins and an all natural banana flavored peanut butter! Herr's Deep Dish Pizza curls taste alot like those Pizza Spins, FYI.
I think they should bring back Chipsters Potato crisps. I can almost taste them now. Very unique flavor
Tid bits were also found in a snack mix called Doo Dads. Aspen was a favorite of mine
Tid Bits really seemed popular but maybe it was just in certain pockets of the population. Thank you for watching and sharing a little more.
I forgot about Doo Dads. They were tasty.
@@jeepluver3195,they were better than most snack mixes because they had peanuts in them.
My Grandma always had Doo-Dads at her house… I had forgotten about them
My mom still calls her homemade holiday snack mix “Doo-Dads” after the packaged kind! Tid Bits we’re awesome… better than “Nips” version.
I loved Space Food Sticks, Koogle and Marathon Bars.
I remember that the milk chocolate which coated the Marathon bar wouldn't adhere very well to the caramel the bar was made of. And so, as soon as you took a bite, it start to fall off in shards and chunks into your lap.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories!
Cadbury Curly Wurly bars are the same as the Marathon. I've ordered them online and also have found them at a candy store, but I think they are made in England so they cost more to get them here in the US.
Occasionally I see those on the shelves. It doesn't quite taste the same in my opinion but maybe it's in my head. Sure would like to have them side by side.
Hahahaha!! I remember that!
@@charitysbizarre4365 , alternatively, you can go to a store that specializes in international foods, as they can sell snacks from around the world as well.
You just had to mention Aspen soda!!! I've been craving that for YEARS!!! God, how I MISS Marathon Bars!!
Oh so many memories! We still have hickory farms stores at Christmas in Arizona. I remember these tidbits! As soon as they popped up I could remember what they tasted like. I also vaguely remember them being in a mix called doo dads?
Great video! Oh, do I ever miss those Nestle Alpine White candy bars! REAL white chocolate and slivered almonds. They used to sell them in the vending machine at work. Whenever they filled the machine, I emptied it.
I do think those were great but I guess a lot of people don't like the combination. Thank you for watching!
I didn't realize they had stopped making them. 😕
@@duckduckgoismuchbetter
They didn't, well not with almond slivers anyway. If you like white " chocolate " Reese's makes white chocolate seasonal candies: Easter eggs, Christmas trees, and Valentine hearts. Hershey's sells a few white chocolate candy bars, too.
How about. CHUNKY bars. Who knew chocolate. Raisins and nuts could go together so good. And. Almond clusters. Or the original
MARS BARS when there were 6 almonds
across the top of the bar. One almond for each bite
I do remember both of those. Thank you for bringing up some more memories for us.
Anyone remember the 'Sea-Pak' TV dinners?? 10 or 12 tater tots, 1 large fish stick, 1 round Cod patty, 3 scallops and 3 shrimp. They were simple, but great !!
I've never seen a seafood tv dinner but the 80's was my decade.
Ok, loved Danish-go rounds! Also, Nabisco made the Mayfair cookie assortment, that had many sandwich cookies. That was my favorite. They also had the Famous cookie assortment. Pillsbury had the turnover kit with the filling in a plastic sausage- looking tube. It even came with a pyramid shaped icing tube. Memories of fun snacks.
As a teenager of the 70's I remember most all of these products, especially Space Food Sticks haha. I was a competitive weight lifter and used them as a diet aid to lose weight to make my weight class, I can taste them now just thinking about them!
Banana flips were sold up into the early 90's at least. Used to see them in the snack machine at work. They were actually not bad.
I'm surprised they haven't tried to make a comeback with them. Thank you for watching!
Just a few years ago, they were still selling them at Nickles. But the local outlet closed down a few years ago.
@@RhettyforHistory , well, Moon Pies have a banana flavor, so I guess they still kind of exist.

They looked really tasty. Never had one. Probably a good thing.
I remember all of those. Had those Dolly Madison with Charlies Brown and such on them. They were not that bad as I remember. One cereal I remember was " Quisp". The box had a pink kid on it with a propeller sticking out of his head. In the TV ads he would fly around. I did a Google search and looks like they brought it back sometime after it was discontinued in 1975.
I know of Quisp but I never had it. I did however enjoy Dolly Madison and I wish they were still around. Thank you for watching and sharing your memories!
@@RhettyforHistory, Back in the 1980's on first ship we were talking about things from our childhoods that were no longer made. One guy started talking about Quisp, how much he liked it and wish they would bring it back. His wish came true, you can buy it along with everything else on Amazon. LOL
I didn't realize they were selling it again.

Quisp had been brought back since
quite a while back. I've even seen it
on the shelves in a local supermarket.
However, Quisp also had a rival, Quake,
which, as far as I know, never came back...
& neither did its spin-off, Orange Quangaroos.
Freakies--another great '70s cereal.
There was an altered version in the '80s,
but they never brought back the original.
They also never brought back Ka-Boom cereal.
Quisp was the bomb along with freakies, you could find me on most Saturday mornings in front of the TV watching Bugs Bunny with a small mixing bowl a box of one of those cereals and a glass bottle of milk cause we had our milk delivered. Those really were the days.
Me and my sister were just talking about the crap we ate growing up so this really hits!!! Not that we didn’t love it all at the time 😂
I remembered most of these, but I wouldn’t have renewed them without this video. Thank you! I’m 55yo.
Post toasties, sugar smacks, so many choices and food tasted better than it does now. Thanks for the memory jog! 😊❣️
Companies can't use the word "Sugar" anymore. Sugar Smacks are now called "Super Crisp"
Whatever..
I have been asking people for years if they remembered Koogle. They all thought I was crazy. Thanks for proving them wrong and me right.
You're welcome. It wad a big deal and with all of the success of Nutella I'm surprised they haven't tried to bring this back. Thank you for watching!
Just loved the stuff. Ate it right out of the jar. Cinnamon was my favorite. I'd buy it in 6-packs if I could.
The best thing ever to put on bread. I still at times put cinnamon on my peanut butter today.
@@alwills92 They seriously need to bring Koogle back. I'd buy every available flavor except chocolate, which I didn't care for.
I LOVED Tid-bits as a kid. I would watch a Saturday afternoon movie & go thru a whole box without even thinking about it.
I also remember having rice with milk butter and sugar as a breakfast meal. I also remember having toasted bread with milk, butter and sugar for breakfast.
The banana flip was the biggest injection of sugar I ever had as my young self! So awesome.
Little Debbie Banana Twins are similar, though not in shape.
Gimme Suzy-Q’s!
Yea Dennis but not the same. But both were good.
I distinctly remember eating and loving Koogle.
Thank you for watching and letting us know you loved it.
Yep, me too. Now I add cinnamon toast crunch spread on my peanut butter. It kinda takes you back. I liked the banana flavored the best.
I used to eat it right after school. Smeared on a slice of bread, it was kinda like a chocolate sandwich.
Me too! Loved the vanills and the cinnamon ones best. And the jars were in our garage for years afterwards holdings screws and nails. Think they pulled it off the market because of some sketchy ingredient (Red Dye #2?).
When Mom and Dad went out on the weekends we got Swanson TV dinners. I loved them! Turkey with dressing was my favorite, chicken and Salisbury steak were pretty tasty too. Simple times were so very good.
I credit Salisbury Steak tv dinners with making me into a vegetarian.... Can't remember the brand (was Banquet around in the 1960s?) but the texture was awful. Mom inflicted tv dinners on us when she was too tired to cook. I didn't mind the mac&cheese ones but the meat types are an unpleasant memory. But Salisbury Steak was absolutely the worst of the bunch for me.
Man, I loved Food Sticks. They were still made up to a few years ago, but only available online from the maker.
They sure had cool prizes in the cereal back then!
and fun fact. In southern United states you could cut the boxtop off your cereal and mail it in to the phone company for a who .25 off our phone bill
Yeah, there could be a whole video on that. My favorites were the balloon powered car and boat from Freakies cereal! I always seemed to get the dark green "Boss Moss" though!
I was as excited to open the box of cereal and would be very excited and happy when I got a spin top I would play with that all day long I thought it was amazing👍
My favorite was the playable records that you could cut out of the cereal boxes. I remember having one from The Jackson 5 as a kid.
