Favorite food as a kid that is no longer around?

[cjefferys]

I also miss McDonald's apple pies (the original ones)

This. (I'm assuming you mean the very tasty fried apple pies, which absolutely rule over the current baked ones). Although the fried ones are still available at some McDonalds (in Japan for example, and I hear at some McDonalds in a few US Walmart stores. One time I stumbled across a website that reported which McDonald locations they were still available at). And there's a couple Burger King locations I'm aware of in Ontario that sell fried apple pies (last time I checked)

I used to eat a lot of lead paint as a kid. Harder to find nowadays.

Wiener King! There used to be a fast food place called Wiener King. It was right beside our Burger King. They had the best cheeseburgers! Also miss the BK Ice Freezee and KFC's small buttered rolls.

Bar 6 chocolate bars. McDonalds pizzas...dont know why, but I was craving one the other day!!??

I used to miss the old Ponderosa/Bonanza steak chains too. When I was a kid we used to eat there once a month at least. Last year I stumbled across one still operating in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan......Long story short, I barely made it back to my hotel room in time.....Lets just say I dont miss them anymore!!

I miss them Burger King Big Mac ripoffs.
I think only Canada sells them now.

I also miss McDonald's apple pies (the original ones) .... and their original nuggets

Wha? "The Big King"? Don't they still sell it? Man, guess I'm used to my double cheezeburgers. That's all I get there, oh, and chicken tenders.


Mine for me would be "Burger Chef" I LOVED Burger Chef. That's where I got my Darth Vader and Chewbacca posters that were up on my wall for 20 years at my old place. I remember the fountain cokes tasted wonderful! Even the apple pies were good. Man, I wish I had a time machine I could do with a to-go order there.

Another one was a 50's related drive in right in Kanawha City in Charleston right near my house, I got to eat burgers, or dogs and fries whilst listening to the '50's. Man, what else could a kid of 9 want?

Fizzies
Quake cereal
Willy Wonka Scrump-dilly-umpcious bars (Reeses' Krunch is similar but not close enough).

Although I don't eat sugar anymore, I miss chocolate covered Twinkies. I can't remember the last time those were produced. I also fondly remember Mcdonalds Shamrock shakes. I have no idea if they still make these, but those were goooood.

Aren't those called Ding Dongs? I think they used to be Chocodiles maybe, too? Or was there an actual Twinkie that was covered?
As for the shakes I think they still make those at St Patricks time?

I can't think of anything off the top of my head right now but I'm sure something will come to me and i'll post it later.

Not really a food but something you put in your milk is PDQ. Use to love the strawberry version.
