So why is it off the shelves? It's my favorite cereal and i want some, bad...lol. I was getting it at Wal-Mart like 2 or 3 years ago...and then it disappeared again. What's up with that?
Natalie - you can buy Seven Up bars at Cracker Barrel Country Stores (and restaurants). I think they are a little different now, though. I think they only have chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla fillings.
I was a very picky eater as a kid and the only cereal my Mom could get me to eat was Big C Concentrate by Kelloggs. I didn't know it at the time but it was Kelloggs brand of a "Healthy" alternative. I just knew I loved it and would eat nothing else for breakfast. I called it Big CC. As I got older the only place she could find it was at Ralph's. Then she heard they discontinued it. Please Kelloggs BRING IT BACK!!
Do anyone out there know where I can get a can of Charles Chips?
The chocolate soldier was the best. It brings back great memories of visiting my nan and poppa in Southern Oklahoma. I've been looking all over for the drink but haven't had any luck.
I agree that we should start a petition to have Peter Paul start making them again. There has never been ANY candy that I've loved more and no other peanut butter candies in the world can hold a candle to NO JELLYs.
They had the best tenderloins!!!! they were huge!
Was it Manwich that made Meatloaf Fixin's? I can't find that anywhere, anymore. It made the best meatloaf ever.
I grew up eating Mama's cookies in Dallas, Tx. and I'm 57 years old. Last time I bought some was in the early 80s, I think. I sure do miss them.
There's a Del Taco in or near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and it's quite busy.
I still have my Linus the Lion stuffed animal from Krispy Kritters that my mother got me by sending off box tops and $1(I think it was). I loved that cereal.
I remember getting a large box when I was pregnant and hiding them from my husband since I was supposed to be eating healthy. I suspect a Hostess outlet may have them....
Brothers and I used to go to the store for our grandfather to buy him a pack of Camels and some Browns Mule chewing tobacco. We got to keep the change and bought--Chum Gum. Adams has brought back Clove, Beemans and Black Jack. CVS is carrying it. Everybody write to Fleer and get them to bring back Chum Gum.
I loved those beans! I have looked everywhere for them to no avail. It was one of the first items I learned to cook. If you have the recipe, perhaps you could post it here. Thanks
I remember the day it was announced on the news that Peter Paul was going to stop making my favorite candy bar, Caravelle. How I wish Cadbury would see fit to bring this 'indescribably delicious' candy bar back!
Forever Yours is now known as Milky Way Midnight. New wrapper, New name, same candy bar. I always loved that candy & there seems to be absolutely no difference between the old & new. http://www.oldtimecandy.com/forever-yours.htm
Willy Wonka Oompas (not The Chewy Fruit Ones), Comment by Tammy on November 05, 2009 - Report this comment
I SOOOO wish they still had those Oompa Loompas, because I remember them. They were like a Giant M&M with Peanut Butter. WIsh you could still get them.
Ahhh . . . memories of childhood.
I loved the chocolite bars and yes I have tried Aero but it just doesn't have the same... would "mouthfeel" be the right word? Or maybe it tastes different. I think Nestle changed their milk chocolate formula in the 80s during their expansion because it has lost that slight je ne sais quoi that a good middle-level milk chocolate like Ghirardelli or Cadbury has and Hershey does not. I'll try to hunt up a Whispa and see how close that it.
Whoever said it was like a Mr Big bar is right. I recently ate a Mr Big bar and instantly remembered a similar bar with white coating and cinnamon flavour. Could not for the life of me remember the name. I don't think I would ever have come up with "Cinnamon Danish" but surely that's what it was. Too bad there's no picture on here.
King Louie is on the throne, and says..."Charleston Chew is chewy, Louie....and you Louie?" He passes it to the next king Louie who says the same thing, and passes on again. On the last pass the king says the"...and you Louie?" with trepidation. The last King Louie is a crazy rocker on a throne who very wildly says "Charleston chew is chewy, Louie.....but not too chewy".
Man, I've fantasized about finding some Cherry-Its for years and years...I'm guessing they're no longer made. Anyone remember the name of the company that produced them?
Trader Joe's just came out with a pretty good copy.
I'm trying to get a hold of some bottles of this soda! How could I go about doing that, because I live very far away from SC??
I too remember Koogle, and everyone thinks I am making it up. Thank goodness for Google on Koogle! BNow they believe me, and I wish they'd bring it back...especially the banana!! One of the most "decadent" thing my Mom ever bought for us...all the flavors....maybe we could start a petition to Kraft....
Alot of stuff from the 60's and 70's are still around go onto the cracker barrel website and the vermont country store they have lots of candy toys charles chips
Harrow, London area in early eighties , a drunken friday night out with the lads always ended up with a KFC "combo meal" box ,of chicken n ribs, those ribs were fantastic!........why dont they bring them back!
I remember when I was a kid I'd spend my own pocket money on box of chippos, and then work my way through the entire box while reading Sherlock Holmes.
I live in England now, and though they don't have the same shape at all, there's a reconstituted potato snack called 'hula hoops' that brought waves of Chippo memories flooding back. If it only it could bring back Chippos too.
YES! People thought I was crazy talking about the White Whale Vanilla Captain Crunch. NOW for the big question - wasn't there a GRAPE captain crunch with a purple octopus? TELL ME I'M NOT CRAZY HERE PEOPLE
i'd love to have another norman cereal t.shirt and the 4 stickers... from nabisco
My dad used to deliver Charles Chips in Edwardsville, Pa in the 70's. The barbecue chips were the best and I recall some large pretzels.
i remember grape and ORANGE milk duds...not cherry or banana...of course no one believes me about any of it...
OMG these cookies were sooo good. I never knew which ones tasted better, the vanilla or the chocolate. The best was when you got one that had both flavors mixed together. Wish they'd bring them back or those vanilla wafers with the marshmellow inside them! Yum!
Just mix skim milk powder and soy flour and frozen O J and whatever else appeals to you in your blender. Be a do it person.
I have a craving for them but haven't seen them for years.
Does anyone remember the rest of the jingle? Hamdingers... Hamdingers... hamburgers made with ham... da da da?... dum diddy dada?... just heat em up in a frying pan!
God yes! The mac n cheese was IT! The sure didn't skimp on the cheese, just the perfect amount. Why do all the good things go away? Mug-a-lunch, Anne Klein perfume...they should make these products again...
Oh, Yeah! That's how I got hooked on them! Kraft Fudgies were awesome...wonder why they disappeared??? They were almost as mysterious as the disappearance of my favorite OOMPAS! I used to flatten out a carmel, and roll a fudgie in a ball and wrap the carmel around it and roll the whole thing into a ball and then pop it in my mouth and try eating it without choking on the big ball of yummy goo!
bought some at Albertson's in Cypress, California
And this is why I am on the internet. Trying to find Bundt Cake mixes. Why or why did they stop making them? I want my children to experience it as I did.
Man, I loved the beef-n-noodles and the chicken-n-noodles ones. I think about 'em often and wish they still made them. I found my way here by googling "mug-a-lunch" to see if they could still be had somewhere.
people also thought i was crazy whenever i would ask if anyone remembered this wonderful product. it was the bubblegum of choice in my neighborhood (the harbor section of conneaut, ohio) in the 60's although i have to confess, i seldom if ever shared the second piece with any of my friends.
