Damn Mitch, you just beat me too the "Big League Chew." I was reading through all of the post and that came to mind. I loved those huge Pixy Stix, too.

What about Wacky Wafers?

I remember Gold Rush gum. Another one of my faves by the same company was Love Its gum. Same basic marble sack packaging, but w/ multi colored gum in the bag. I even put the logo sticker on the back of one of my fave jackets and called it my Love Its jacket.

I sure do believe you when you say those KISS cards took you back. I can imagine. I have some great chilhood memories that involve those, too, for some reason.

Well something else created a nostalgia flashback for me today. This was a song that I thought was stupid when it came out and never listened to, but it came on the radio today and I felt compelled to listen to it in its entirety, because I figured it would be at least another 20 years before it was played again - and of course I had forgotten it ever existed: "The Curly Shuffle" (actually why did it exist?)

There used to be these small cookies called Snaps. There were the Cocolate type in a brown and white box and the Cocolate Chip style in a red and white box. They were from Nabisco and on each box there was a pic of the cookie and a face like a cat drawn on it. I had not had any in years and thought to buys some but as I was browsing thru a supermarket a few years ago I couldn't find any. I guess they stopped making them in the 1990's at some point.

They still might be being made but your store doesn't carry them because of space. There are online retailers that specialize in finding stuff not usually carried by stores like this

Marathon's became Snickers

That's NOT a Marathon Bar (at least not here in the US). We had something completely different.
