Burry's Gaucho cookies

Betty Crocker Noodles Almondine

Borden's Swiss (chocolate drink)

Weaver Chicken Roll

Post Oat Flakes (cereal)

Prontos -- this was a corrugated rectangular chip of the same shape
as today's Sunchips. It was made from corn and wheat, with a
distinctive
corn taste mellowed by the wheat. It was very lightly salted with a
fine salt powder. It was thicker than Sunchips, and rather dry (not
much oil). My favorite chip of all time.

Minitacos -- these were thin corn chips made from discs of corn-stuff
which were folded over before frying. Excellent for dips, due to the
taco-shell-like shape.

Small Mexican pizzas, sold by Costco a number of years ago. Had a cornmeal
crust. Delicious.

I'm really afraid, and this has happened in the last 3 months or so,
that they no longer make Oregon Farms carrot cake. Major
bummer.

Most of mine are from the 70's, except for the first two:

Noodle Roni Romanoff (Cheddar & Sour Cream)
Raspberry Kool-Aid (I still have one pouch left)
Taco Time tamales
Plain "Chunky" bars (no raisins or nuts)
Kellogg's(?) "Toaster Danish"
"Spoon Candy" (Pudding with a choc shell)
Zots...

Back when I lived on London, I used to love Branson pickle on a cheese
sandwich. I have found myself craving it (the only food I've ever missed
after moving away for where it's available.

i recently found a jar of Branston pickle in an obscure shop in
Amsterdam, though. yay! I opened it yesterday. it doesn't taste as good
as it did in my memory, but it still goes really well with cheese
sandwiches.

Oh, thanks darlin ... I know I've seen it and printed it off. I will dig
it out and make it soon, I know it's excellent. Has pineapple, right?
This way I can make my cake with as much cream cheese frosting
as I want (smile).

Borden's Golden Vanilla ice cream (other "French Vanillas" are too sweet)
Sara Lee Banana Cake (they still have it in the foodservice products)
Waffies or Old London cheese waffle snacks (hard to find in our area)

Sorry, I don't know of these food products. From the time I was small,
pre-made foods weren't the norm and were never in our house much until
my mom got sick. When I got married, the first thing I did was set out
to learn to cook well and pre-packaged foods have never been the norm in
our household. One thing I do miss from my childhood is a square solid
doughnut that was topped with a creamy white frosting. The local bakery
made them and apparently the recipe died with the owner so they are no
more. Pity as they were awesome. Given my avoidance of white sugar, I
wouldn't eat them anyway but DH liked them when they were around.

When I was in high school the grocery store across the street had a
lunch counter. There was a machine into which or onto which you could
place a small (maybe 6 oz ?) can of soup to be heated in just a couple
of minutes. Don't know how it worked, but all they then had to do was
pour it into a bowl for you. This was before microwave ovens. They
had six or eight different kinds of soup. Just right with a sandwich,
and they didn't object if you ate the sandwich you brought from home
along with the soup you bought from them. Best was navy bean soup,
next best chicken noodle, of course. -aem

That's what I was going to say! I think. Was that like a powder that
you shook up with milk or water and it turned into three separate
layers? As food it was disgusting, but as witchcraft it was pretty
darned impressive. I mean, I can understand how the texture in a food
can change from bottom to top or outside to middle, but three separate,
distinct layers is pretty freakin' weird. A Jello layer on the bottom,
a -- uh -- *creamy* layer in the middle, then an allegedly light and
fluffy layer on top. Seriously, I had chemistry teachers who couldn't
have duplicated it.

I doubt that. It's really quite simple. Density! Heaviest on the
bottom, lightest on the top. A classic pousse cafe is a good example:

Wow, is that who made that? Mom use to buy it and it was actually a good
boxed noodle mix in the late 1960's. Came with a packet of slivered almonds
to be sprinkled in. I have tried unsuccesfully to re-create this non-cheesy
(sic) noodle dish to no avail. Perhaps it's because I don't have access to
the chemicals. <G>

That was a pretty cool dessert.

The original Carnation Breakfast Bars. The formula changed in the
nineties, and now they are just weird. They used to be so good. My
big brother and I craved them.

Oh, yeah! This with a half pound of hamburger was dinner more times
than I can count!

Dreyer's Homemade Ice Cream - they stopped making it earlier this year
to make room on the shelf for that god-awful "slow churned" or
whatever it's called crap. They had the best mint-chip flavor. None of
the rest of Dreyer's lines are any good.

Regal Crowne Sour Cherry candies. I miss those

Jell-O Chocolate Tapioca pudding. I had to devise a way to turn their
vanilla into chocolate when they stopped making this.

This thread is bumming me out...

Right! It must have been Price Club selling those Mexican pizzas. Maybe
your favorite green corn tamales came from the same company.

Jello Pudding Pops!

The OLD marathon bar - it was really long, looked like a rope (more like
a chain maybe), was carmel covered with chocolate (YUMMM!)

I miss Faygo Rock n Rye - it's still around but only in MI as far as I
have seen. Every place I have lived has faygo but for some reason they
don't carry rock n rye...it's the best

I also miss Vernors - I can buy it here - but it's almost $6.00 a six
pack :/ I don't miss it THAT much lol

I could still get Rock n Rye and Vernors when I lived in NE Ohio, but we
moved to AZ I couldn't find it. I recently came across Vernors in a shop.
Can't remember the price, but it wasn't nearly as expensive as your area.

I really miss Vess Cream Soda (it was red, with a distinct flavor). I'm
not even sure it's made any longer.

That reminds me of Frosty Brand Root Beer. It had an old guy with an
ice beard as a mascot. It was really good, and dad used to buy it for
me when I was a kid. When I got older I realized that dad actually had
been buying me a root beer and leaving me in the car while he went into
a neighborhood bar...

I can't remember who bought Oregon Farms, but these are still being
made. At least here on the East Coast. I love these cakes! But now,
I don't remember the box having the pictures on the back for the
different ways to slice it up.

I used to get Betty Crocker mixes for Boston Creme Pie, and they were
great. For years they didn't have them, but they're back again, as part
of 4 or 5 "fancier" boxed desserts from Betty Crocker. That's the only
product that I've ever missed which has come back.

There are some places of the country where they import it. There's a
gourmet grocery chain three blocks from me that carries it. (Phoenix AZ)
There are also mail-order web shops that specialize in hard-to-find
candies and sodas. There's one called the Pop, the Soda Shop here in
Scottsdale. They ship worldwide.
