Insignificant to the world, but things you've forgotten existed

Kaboom cereal. I loved that stuff back in the 70's. I've not seen a box of it in about 30 years. I remember getting toy watches out of the cereal box.

Double Cola- gassiest beverage ever made! (we will leave it there)

And some kind of goop maker thing from the early 70's. They were round waffle iron like things and had a face like HR Puffnstuff on the top. There were these small round mould trays of bugs and things you'd poor the goo into and bake in the head thingie. Seems to me they were edible.

"Giant" Pixie Sticks
Were like a foot and a half long

Do they still make them ?

Tasted like powdered cool-aid

The "kid equivalent" to uncut cocaine

Carmel Jolly Ranchers and Hubba Bubba soda pop.

Orangina

WORST SODA EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can honestly admit to only tasting it one time --- and that was enough

Anyone remember "cheese" that came in a tube like packaing (think how sausage is packaged) but had a cap so you could squeeze the cheese out from the middle? I thought about that for the first time a few weeks ago. I used to love that stuff on crackers as a kid. This was before I discovered Easy Cheese. I know both are horrible for you, but when you're a kid and constantly moving, you can take it.

SQUEEZE CHEESE!! I was always trying to get my mom to buy this. It was just like cheeze-whiz but came out like a funny star shape.

And somebody mentioned aero chocolate bars, these are very common where I live, they een have mint aero and orange too!

I can waste a whole afternoon watching obscure cartoonson youtube,most I hadn't thought about in years, Jayce and the wheeled warriors? god, the list can go on for ever.

Its an acquired taste and one of the reasons is because it has stuff floating
around in it (bits of orange) and that kinda thing freaks most people out...
I always found it quite refreshing---had alot of it the summer of '91 in the UK
---haven't thought about in years since all I drink is "diet" now----I guess
its out of circulation then?

Dippin' Stix

It came with an edible stick that you licked and dipped into one of three compartments filled with "Pixie Stix" like powder.

They are still made today.

[huedell]

I think they were called DIP STIX and yeah those were AWESOME

I'm surprised they don't still make 'em---it was like PIXI STIX ----plus you got hard candy too!

How about Tery Bradshaw peanut butter.my dad was a huge Steeler fan,when all the other kids had Jiff we were eating Terry Bradshaw peanut butter.Now thats insignificant.

[theantiquetiger]

I'm surprised they don't still make 'em

They still make them but I don't they are as big.

One thing about this, you had to be careful when opening them, or you lost alot of powder.

Anybody ever get into a pair of these??????

Canada-dry had a soda called Rudy rootbeer, the can had a cartoon bear on it, i loved it as a kid

[Captain]

Rudy Rootbeer....I forgot all about that stuff!!

theres a couple of candy bars I miss....used to be able to get them in the States long after they disappeared up here, but havent seen them down there in years either. One was BAR 6...my favourite candy bar ever. The second was called WIG WAG. This was a chocolate/cookie candy bar that seemed to be a foot long to a little kid.
There also used to be a chewing gum that had little kids dressed as cowboys and indians on the wrappers....forget the brand name. Havent seen it in well over thirty years.
