Food of the Seventies
The food in this section are not STRICTLY 70s only food. We have food that were widely available for purchase DURING the 70s. This section was recently redesigned, so if you have any problems please let ChuckyG know.
Are you an 70s food expert or just totally baffled by a leftover 70s food item in your possession? We have a page for Unknown 70s Food when you can send in your pictures, or help others identify their unknown food items.
I also have a page about this for the 80s and 90s.

I am a 60's kid from Indiana.I am happy to find others who recall Chum Gum. It was the best!Bring it back!
I am so glad to finally see that SOMEONE ELSE rememebers and loves tuna twist. until now everytime i mentioned the name people would look at me like I was nuts. I wish they would bring it back!! :)
I too loved Tuna Twist. It was literally the first thing I could make by myself in the kitchen, even though it would take me an hour to open a can of tuna with our old hand held can opener. After it was discontinued and I grew up I realized that it wasn't that hard to make great tuna...just sing the jingle while adding ingredients. HELLO...a little Sir Parsley, a little Ms. Celery, the onion twins and their friends salt, pepper and a teeny weeny bit of garlic.
Milkshake candy bar and Sugarloaf gum were possibly the best mainstream candies of all time, not just the 70's. Sugarloaf was like no other gum-at the time of since. MISS YOU SUGARLOAF!!!
i really liked the figurine diet bar. if theres anywhere i can find them i would like to know
So...It isn't just me...Thank God. I too have been getting the blank look from people when I mention the best candy EVER. It really was..I also had the small ones and the big ones, did the same as a lot of other people here and got my hands on some (in a dusty old box) in the late 80's or early 90's (bought them all) but it seems like a sweet memory now, Keep hoping everyone. It is nice to know I'm not the only one!!!!
Butternut Candy Bar, Comment by Kimiko Hines South Carolina on September 01, 2010 - Report this comment
Bring that candy back...you just gotta..don't leave us out to dry like this...
I was trying to remember these things recently and found this site, I think this is what I was trying to recollect. I dont recall all the different packaging I have seen here, but, the peanut butter, and the description of tootie roll-like and power bar taste, sounds accurate.
Archway went bankrupt last year and was bought by Lance. The cookies are now coming back to the store shelves.
I bought some more Rally bars at Chocolate World on August 21. They are no longer by the register. An employee showed me where they were, across the room. If you go to Chocolate World and can't find them, please ask an employee. The one that I asked was most helpful.
The caramel was made by MacIntosh Toffee.
Our neighbors always had these in their fridge. They were so delicious out of the refrigerator. The absolute best cookie I have ever had. Bring em back!
I bought some Pinwheels the other day and the real chocolate melting in my fingertip reminded me of IDEALS. They were by far the best store bought cookie EVER made. The real chocolate coating made them a seasonal cookie. I don't believe Nabisco would ship them during the summer months, at least here in New England. I'm not a Facebook person but why doesn't someone set up friend of Ideals page and start a 2010 size campaign to get Nabisco to reintroduce this classic to the millions of cookie eaters who were born after the Ideal plug was pulled.
The original poster should worry less about 70s food and more about sentence structure and spelling. Six obvious mistakes in that run-on sentence. Exspecially???
Wondering if anyone remembers "Rally" candy bars. They came in a white wrapper with "Rally" written in big red letters.
Yes, there were jukeboxes at the table. And the Drake Diner in DSM does have Cheese Frenchees but they are horrible! as are the ones at Stella's simply because they coat them with corn meal! Really????
Up till now, I wasn't even sure if my vague memory of M&M Fruit Chewies was even a real thing! I was about 3 or 4 back in or around 1963 or 1964 in Syracuse NY. I moved to Milwaukee and nobody had ever heard of them....and later....Starburst appeared...about 1973 or so??? 22 cavities later...and I still remember them! Can't remember what I had for breakfast today though...hehe!
Nabisco needs to give this one a try again.
No R & D required, they already have the recipe.
They WERE the best crackers EVER !!!.
This gum is exactly what I have been looking for.
Do they by chance still make it? That was my fav-
orite gum.Hawaiian was my favorite flavor,then it
was cherry and then Grape.
I remember the Pizza Spins very well ~ they were my Favorite Snack! I really wish they would bring them back.
the mcfeast was available in shreveport la. during the late 70's and was my favorite item on the menu....The one we had did not have ham on it..but did have a kaiser roll...I'd eat 3 of them right now
Called Concord Candy Co. they said they get a few calls about wax whistles, but, until they get MORE
inquires they just won't bring them back... Everybody call and suggest that they bring them back for kids today would really enjoy...
Very Favorite Candy! Remember them well. They were so delicious. Why don't they bring them back?
They did work and I wish they still had them. I lost about 40 pds using them.
My favorite candy bar ever! I don't really remember what it tasted like, just that it tasted perfect!
Nabisco Marshmallow Cookies, Comment by Shereen from The Bronx, NY on August 29, 2010 - Report this comment
Please bring back these marshmallow cookies. In the meantime, I take a marshmallow and place it in between two graham crackers. It's almost as good. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
Loved Grape Duds. Would get them at the roller skating rink!
Yum! I also got online searching for where I could still purchase Toastettes. I am so disappointed that they are no longer made. I can remember the filling being a little chunkier, fruiter and tarter than the sickly sweet, overly processed pop-tart filling, perfectly balanced by that sprinking of sugar on top. They should bring them back for sheer nostalgia.
OMG - i can't believe I've finally found another person who remembers these! - I would ROAR at the commercial - when my son and husband come home from work and school and say "hey mom, what's new for schnacks and lunch - picadilly shircles - a hot hearty meal on an englisshhhh muffin - LOL
Tab is the only soda that is diet and actually tastes like coke classic. Diet coke is more of a pepsi taste than tab is.
We use to play church with them..them being the communion.
