Pepsi Lite - Vamonos Pest
[ In Reply To ..]Scary enough, I grew up drinking that (and Tab) as a kid. The Pepsi Lite was great b/c it had the lemon flavor already in it. When most folks think of Tab/PL, they have horrible flashbacks to dieting in the 70s (anyone remember Alba 77 as a "treat?" Yuck!), but not me... I loved it. You can still get Tab (still made with saccharin b/c it's so good for you), and I'll treat myself once in a while. It's still not the same though.
Bonomo taffy - bluebird
[ In Reply To ..]Vermont Country Store online has vanilla bonomo taffy. You have to order an 8-pack which also includes other flavors. Also has many other types of candies, shampoo, and toys from the past. All rather expensive.
wow!! thank you!! - NM

Libby's Fruit Float - sm
[ In Reply To ..]It came in a can and had the consistency of pie filling. All you did was mix it with milk and it became a dessert that resembled a fruit pudding.
Not sure of the name - anon
[ In Reply To ..]They were like M&Ms, but mint chocolate and had a crown stamped on them. Yummy.
I also remember candy cigarettes, although I didn't particularly like to eat them. They were more fun to play with.
Ms. Paul's frozen candied yams. nm - Probably too sweet for me now, though.

Candy cigarettes...... - mom22dogs
[ In Reply To ..]......the only kind of cigarettes I ever had!
I felt so cool and sophisticated when I "lit" one up - How cute was that little cigarette box they came i
[ In Reply To ..]I'm sure Mayor Bloomberg would be banning them if they existed now. I loved my candy cigarettes but they never made me want to smoke.
Loved to blow the "smoke" - off of them!
[ In Reply To ..]oo!
Danish Rings! sm - KC
[ In Reply To ..]Don't remember what brand they were, but they were toaster pastries, like pop-tarts, but shaped like a swirly danish and sprinkled with sugar on the outside, with fruit filling on the inside. Love them!!!
Kellogg's Danish Go-Rounds - FURYous1970
[ In Reply To ..]The product you remember were call Danish Go-Rounds made by Kellogg's. They were delicious! My favorite flavors were Brown-Sugar Cinnamon and Strawberry. Used to eat them practically every morning before school with a bowl of Libby's Fruit Float!

VERMONT COUNTRY STORE, FOLKS!!!!!! - Deprived No More
[ In Reply To ..]They have all that stuff, I think.
They also have Lifebuoy soap in the original, delightful "carbolic acid" scent, nose hair clippers, portable typewriters (although I think they have graduated to electric ones), and long-leg underpants.
Lord only knows where they get the stuff.

[ In Reply To ..]Some kind of cookie/cracker stick filled w/PB and covered in chocolate. GREAT with a glass of milk! Little Debbie makes something that looks like an Ideal Bar but doesn't taste like it.
I was just going to post this LOL I found a website - that said - sm
[ In Reply To ..]the company stopped making them because the chocolate kept melting in shipping them and they could never get the chocolate recipe right so it wouldn't melt. Many people replied saying they didn't care they'd eat them anyway they could. LOL
Oh how I miss Ideal bars.
They were a favorite in my house when - we were kids.
[ In Reply To ..]There were six of us. Those Ideal Bars went fast, and my sisters and I are still in mourning. I loved them - melted or not :-)
