Jello Pudding Pops!

Seriously...why did they discontinue those??  And that was BEFORE Bill Cosby ran into his recent string of troubles!

I am/was a candy lover, so it's:

Sparkies: like Skittles, but a larger variety of flavour themes (sodas, ice cream, tropical fruits...)

Tart 'n Tinys: tangy candies like SweeTarts, but smaller.

Flip-Flops: candies like SweeTarts, but sweeter and had 2 flavours, one on each side of the "coin".  Really delicious and I miss these the most.

like 90% of the stuff i ate on a daily basis as a kid.

I realize now that my diet was pretty horrible, but somehow i was a string bean until Junior year when i started weightlifting.
Then i stopped lifting and got kinda chunky.
so now I watch what I eat, started working out here and there, and now i'm in decent shape I think.

Nowadays my big snack is pretzel chips.

Aww man, I LOVED Pudding Pops! Even though you can't buy them anymore, they do still sell do-it-yourself Pudding Pop kits.

Now that the thought is in my head, I think I may actually pick one up and give it a go. 8)

The McDonald's fries we got to eat in the 70's. Who knows what the hell they were cooked in, they just tasted so damn good.

Give me a hot tub time machine and let me die from McDonald's fries.

Anyone remember the Nintendo cereal from the late 80's? Two half size bags of different cereal types per box. Great idea at the time, too bad it never stuck.

I used to love Nestle Alpine White candy bars.  I know there's cookies and cream now but its just not the same as that pure white chocolate bar.  There's some by other companies but none quite have that same flavor...

I forgot about those and you're right.

If there are any British shops near you, look for the Nestle Milky Bar. So f'n good.

Yes, I do.
One half was a Zelda inspired theme. 
The other half was Mario.
If I recall both sides were fruit flavored, so the only difference was the shape of the cereal bits.

Definitley Punkys!  Do you guys remember these?  I preferred these over nerds and runts growing up - they were easily my most favorite hard candy.

Kraft Spaghetti Dinner: Came in a box just like Kraft Mac & Cheese.  You had to supply one small can of plain tomato sauce.  So basically the box had the pasta and a packet of marinara sauce seasoning.

Cap'N Crunch Christmas Crunch: Yes, it was just Crunch Berry cereal with red & green berries, but the box was awesome and it was a staple of my Christmas for several years.  In recent years it has been available in other parts of the country but I have never seen it for sale here.

Jell-O Pudding Pops: Already mentioned, but deserves another vote.  Why the f*ck they quit making these is beyond me.

Smurfberry Crunch Cereal:  I haven't eaten this since I was probably 5 or 6 years old (so EARLY 80's) and I can still remember what it tastes like.

Ritz crackers and Keebler Club crackers: Yeah you can still buy both, but they're not the same since they took the trans fats out.
