Kickapoo Joy Juice, Comment by BP on February 09, 2010 - Report this comment
I remember as a kid getting this from a pop machine that also had Mountain Dew It was probably the counter part to Mountain Dew as Mr Pibb is to Dr Pepper???
Root Beer Powder, Comment by Paul on February 08, 2010 - Report this comment
My mother worked at an IGA store in my hometown, and when it closed down (oil/farming town shrank in the late 70s') the Dillons store didn't carry this, so mom bought what was left on the shelves. I drank it as slowly as I could stand to, and when I mixed the final pack, I spilled it in the kitchen floor accidently, and sat in the floor and cried. lol I used to mix this up, make myself a koogle sandwich (or sometimes a mac and cheese mug-o-lunch), and watch speed racer.

How was the chocolate falling off a problem?? Eat the falling off chocolate...lol, silly children. Anyone remember those cards with the rock hard stick of gum and the collector stickers....I think they were from Cracked or Mad....they were joke advertisements like "Meanbonnet margerine" instead of Bluebonnet margerine etc. We use to put the stickers on our lunch boxes.
Toastettes, Comment by Jennifer on February 08, 2010 - Report this comment
I think if we ALL emailed Nabisco at nabiscoworld.com and begged for them to put them back on the shelves they might just do it!!! Put this facebook link on your page with a note to email Nabisco and lets see what happens!! My fav was unfrosted strawberry with butter on top and browned in a toaster oven-Dang they were the BOMB!!!!

Concentrate Cereal, Comment by lithelisa on February 08, 2010 - Report this comment
Another Concentrate devotee checking in. I am drooling thinking about the taste of the wonderfood. I had forgotten the texture thing. I think that a "serving" was about 1/4 cup but that was NEVER enough. I'd love to see it on the shelves again.
Lipton-Green Pea Soup, Comment by Marge P on February 08, 2010 - Report this comment
Your green pea soup was the most wonderful soup for warming up and filling up that I remember. Found a packet in my cupboard today purchased in 2004, made it and it reminded me of the many times I enjoyed it. PLEASE offer it to us pea soup lovers once again.
Druthers Restaurant, Comment by Amanda on February 08, 2010 - Report this comment
To all who mention the Druthers in Campbellsville - that is my hometown, and Druthers is still doing well as far as I know. They have a drive-thru now, and my grandpa still comments on their biscuits and gravy! It's a good place. I hope it keeps going. The only thing really keeping it up now is the older generation who still remembers it.

Koogle, Comment by Koogle Lover on February 07, 2010 - Report this comment
Oops: The flavor is called White Chocolate Wonderful from Peanut Butter & Co. The website is www.ilovepeanutebutter.com. Great as is or mixed with banana extract its basically Banana Koogle.
Koogle, Comment by Koogle Lover on February 07, 2010 - Report this comment
A close approximation of Koogle is the Peanut Butter & Co products. You can order them online or find them in better grocery stores. To recreate the Banana Koogle mix the Peanut Butter & Co White Chocolate Dreams with some banana extract. Delicious! I love PB&Co White Chocolate Dreams flavor on Banana Bread or Peanute Butter and Banana Sandwiches.

Butternut Candy Bar, Comment by Debbie on February 07, 2010 - Report this comment
Man the way u ppl are raving about this, I wanna try it now!!! If I could I would get the recipe n remake these just 4 u guys. I would make a killing and make u guys happy at the same time. U know what, I think that Hersheys took the butternut recipe n changed it to make "snickers" n they are probably snickering about it. Well hey they need to sell me the recipe I can b a phenomena in this economy. Good luck on getting it made I hope it does happen soon...

Kickapoo Joy Juice, Comment by ML on February 07, 2010 - Report this comment
Someone correct me if I am wrong. I always thought that Kickapoo was brought out as a Pepsi product. Later the name was changed to Mountain Dew. Am I right or wrong?
Shake-a-pudding, Comment by Mass Kid on February 07, 2010 - Report this comment
I remember having it as part of my lunch in the fifth and sixth grade. Banana was my favorite flavor, well then again the chocolate was not too bad either....too bad they can bring it back but without the artificial flavor and color!
Ideal Cookies, Comment by David on February 07, 2010 - Report this comment
My mom used to keep them in the refrigerator. We lived in Florida and they tended to melt otherwise. Once I nearly cut off my finger trying to cut one from the end that had stuck to the others. I still have the scar and it reminds me of these wonderful cookies everyday.
Chippo's, Comment by Joe on February 07, 2010 - Report this comment
Yes, Yes, I also remember and loved Chippos. They were from Betty Crocker and were hyped as being "less greasy than regular chips". I remember them well from 8th grade. They were the best !!
Concentrate Cereal, Comment by Beth Tillman on February 06, 2010 - Report this comment
What a relief. I think about this cereal so often but no one I know remembers it. I loved it and wish for it and frankly am thrilled to read all these comments because they mirror mine. It was the tastiest cereal and the texture was perfect and nothing I have tasted since tastes like Concentrate. I had forgotten the foil box until reading the comments here but now I remember that and the amazing spout that made it different and somehow tastier than the other cereals.

10:30 candy bar, Comment by Rene on February 06, 2010 - Report this comment
My father would stop by a little neighborhood market after work at least once a week. He would pick up my brother and I each a candy treat. One day, back in the 70's, he bought a 10:30 bar for me. I was hooked immediately! I requested them from there on. Then the sad day came when he brought home some other candy. He then informed me they were all out. The next trip produced another poor substitute candy and the horrible news that they weren't carrying them anymore. My father tried in to find my greatly favored 10:30 bar at other places, to no avail. Now I'm the parent and I have been searching for "the greatly fabled" 10:30 bar for my son to try. It's tremendously depressing to find out that I've spent the last 30+ years looking for something that ceased to exist at the end of the 70's. Other candies and chewing gums have come back from oblivion. Will some candy manufacturer please hear our pleas and bring back our beloved 10:30 bar!

Choco-lite Candy Bar, Comment by Mark on February 05, 2010 - Report this comment
I've been called crazy by my older brothers who don't remember the Choco'Lite bar! They only remember the Purple Passion soda from back then. I think if Nestle did bring it back they would sell pretty good unless our taste memories are fooling us...
Corn Suckers, Comment by Portia on February 05, 2010 - Report this comment
I am so happy to see so many people remember this sucker. it is amazing they went out of business. they were delicious and the concept of the money inside was so rewarding. Just think we could get rich bringing that one back. it's amazing that there are no pictures of these suckers available. I grew up in Houston, Texas and we called them all day suckers. I remember getting quarters often.we should start a compaign to get these back.

Koogle, Comment by CAM on February 05, 2010 - Report this comment
LOL! This is absolutely cracking me up. Who knew there were so many of us out there? Like the experiences of most everyone on this site, I couldn't find anyone who knew about this stuff - and I was actually beginning to think I was crazy. A coworker and I were talking this morning, and she remembered it too! I was so happy! However, I did find out that what I thought was called "Google" with "Googley Eyes" as a very young child was actually called Koogle. Haha! It's no wonder I could never find anyone else who heard of it growing up!
Concentrate Cereal, Comment by KennyWally on February 05, 2010 - Report this comment
I fondly remember this cereal as well. My folks bought this for me as a kid, so 1959, and I'd use just milk or also added sugar sometimes too. I still prefer no sugar/reduced sugar cereals, like rice chex or wheaties [ sure they have sugar, but can hardly taste it, not even close to frosted flakes ] I may try smashing corn flakes to mimic the concentrate as another poster suggested. Yup, sure would be nice to taste that again...
Tuna Twist, Comment by Brenda, Texas on February 05, 2010 - Report this comment
So if Kraft is the maker of this, do they read these articles? Could someone there have an epiphany and say "Duh, we should bring that back". One can only hope there is a shred of intelligence that would recognize the need.
Hunt's Skillet Dinners, Comment by David on February 05, 2010 - Report this comment
I agree with all the comments about the Hunts Skillet dinners from the 1970s; I ate them all, loved them, and continue to miss them. Perhaps someone should send a note to Hunts management to view this page. Hint--Hunts could start a cool nostalgic marketing campaign by bringing back its skillet dinners for today's generation of youth to enjoy. And those of us who were fans in the 70s would be thrilled to see them on store shelves again!
Bitty Bombs, Comment by Tracy on February 05, 2010 - Report this comment
My Mom told me to get out of the house, as she wanted to clean, and it was too nice to be inside.(1970 something). So, I strolled down to the corner store. I walked in and bought my ultimate favorite ... BITTY BOMBS AND A COKE! As, I sat on that hill drinking and eating my delights, I never thought that that those would the happiest memories of my life!

Snik Snak Candy Bar, Comment by G.T. on February 04, 2010 - Report this comment
WOW! I found the name after all this time. I have been telling my 13 year old son about this candy bar that was like Kit Kat with a similar name, but I could not remember it. Being an old radio guy, I was recently listening to a 1973 aircheck of the mighty KFRC in San Francisco. There was a commercial for the "new" Snik Snak sticks. I about drove off the road!

I find them at Albertson's in Buena Park, CA all the time. Actually that is what we dined on tonight! Check the freezer near the frozen burger patties and chicken nuggets... in our store this is at the far end of the cases with ice cream and other desserts.
Choco-lite Candy Bar, Comment by Doolsey on February 04, 2010 - Report this comment
I didn't like it. I mean, more power to you guys if you like it. To each his own. However, I never how puffing something up with air made it better. I want my chocolate thick and rich, not insubstantial. I worked at Wendy's and had better Frostys than the public can get by taking out the air thingy on top of the machine that puffs air into a Frosty. It made it really good and thick. I hate penne pasta too. But sorry, don't mean to yuck your yum.
10:30 candy bar, Comment by GTC on February 04, 2010 - Report this comment
Wow - most of the comments mirror mine! I ate these in high school back in the '70s, and they were my favorite candy bar. Like many of you, after they disappeared no one seemed to remember them - except me! Now my wife won't think I'm nuts. Actually, she will, but at least not about the 10:30 Bar!

I too remember Google peanut butter from the 70's when I was a kid. I sure wish they would bring that brand back. I can almost taste it now just thinking about it. I belive it would be a very hot seller today. It sure makes me happy that others remember and miss it too. p.s. I also miss PDQ drink mix.
Charles Chips, Comment by Tony on February 04, 2010 - Report this comment
As I understand it, Charles Chips had two places they made chips, Mountville, PA and Calhoun, KY. The chip plant in Calhoun was just outside of town on HWY 136 going toward Livermore. I lived a couple of miles away and when the wind was right, I could smell the chips. Nearly everyone had numerous Charles Chips cans. I remember rush hour when the plant let out in the afternoon as dozens of cars would leave and flood the flashing light at Main Street for several minutes. Farmers would get the spoiled potatoes and chips for their pigs. I can still smell those chips.
