Favorite food as a kid that is no longer around?

[tay666]

I got addicted to the prawn flavored crisps (chips) in London when my wife and I visited a few years back. I think it was that whole Maryland/Old Bay Spice thing going on.

I miss these guys (Posting the links to the site since I think the pictures are huge):

Man I loved those cookies in your first link.
I remember I could still find them at the CVS in the mall up until about 5 years ago or so when it left that mall.
Have not seen them since.

That jogged my memmory on my most favorite cookie of all time.
Stella-doro Swiss Fudge
I see they have them listed on their site again
cookies
But I have not seen any locally in over 8 years.

I used to get them from my great-aunt for birthdays and xmas.
They were such a treat that I would make them last as long as I possibly could just to enjoy them that much longer.

McRib is still around in Texas (well they bring it back for a short while every year, fall I think)

I miss Quisp, which I here you can get up north or oder it online, I guess I don't miss it that much

I also loved those Space Food Sticks (Peanut Butter was my favorite)

Concentrate Cereal (I still remember how it tasted but it has been literally 30 years since I've had a bite of it) They were litte round discs in shape and would expand in milk. I believe it was like a wheat germ suppliment but also used as a cereal by itself.

For the past 15 years or so, I check now and again when I'm in the grocery store for this stuff (by where they sell cream of wheat and wheat germ stuff) never finding it. I've Googled this in the past with no hits but today there sure are. Thanks for the thread. And now knowing it was a Kelloggs cereal, I just emailed them about it requesting they bring it back.

I remember around the end of the '70s/early '80s, McDonalds had some kind of "steak sandwich" that I thought was pretty good. My mom used to get them alot and I had only just started to try them myself when they disappeared.

I used to love Chocodiles, not sure if they even make those anymore. I don't eat chocolate now so I don't really go looking for stuff like that anyhow. When I was young you couldn't find them in the Chicago-land area, I would buy boxes of them when I visited down in Kentucky.

Another one that I'm not sure if they make anywhere anymore is Franco American's ROLLER COASTERS. I used to vastly prefer them to Spaghettios.

I miss McDonalds' McRib...I believe only Germany still carries it.

Wrong-o. They are heavily promoting it right now on commercials (at least where I live they are).
Says for limited time only.
They look nasty. I remember when they first came out with them around 1982 in selected test markets. I thought they were awful and have never wanted to try one again.

I don't know what the heck it was, but there was a chocolate drink that I used to love.
All I remember is that it came in a brown plastic cup, with a white plastic lid, and it tasted just like a chocolate milk-shake.

The rest is pretty vague, as I was pretty young at the time, but my grandfather used to have them for me every now and then.
So that puts it some time before 1975 which is when he passed away.

I think that was Byrd's Eye Thick & Frosty, (which I listed as well).

There's a UK site that sells some of the sweeties that I used to pester my parents for.

There were two kind of crisps I loved as a kid, sadly they don't make 'em anymore. You could only get them in Holland, so everythime we went to visit my family or they would visit us we'd get a dozen big bags

Good to know, but I don't believe there are any Checkers anywhere near me. :(

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)

Checkers also has them
