THanks to all posters. You have proven to my wife that I am not insane (unlike Hostess). I bought mine in Calgary 1979. Tin-foil bag,25 cents (no GST)....absolutely awful. I Asked the store for my money back, got it. Should have kept them, might be worth a buck or two........... or not.
They were called Nabisco Circle cookies. They had circles with a circle in the middle. They weren't terrible sweet but sooooo good
I was just talking to my sister about daish go rounds and then found this site- what great times but did anyone ever get burned by them I remember the filling was really hot- I was blue berry and my sister thinks that she was raspberry - I have a friend who works for kelloggs so I will see if he can get these back ...lol
OMG there are about 50 of us here that have been trying to remember the name of that bar for about 20 years. I remember it was a lot like a Mr Big Bar only in White. Everyone here remembered the bar but not the name, and it's been driving us crazy! Nielson if you are listening BRING THEM BACK PLEASE!!!!
(from Wikipedia) Its grape flavor was eliminated in 1976 because of health concerns about the red dye amaranth (FD&C Red #2), a suspected carcinogen. Shame-- bet they were lovely!
Eating shake-a-pudding, space food sticks, and the little PDQ chocolate flavor bead crunchies (instead of putting them in milk) was the thing to do while making bugs with me Creepy Crawler set and wax soldiers with my Formex 7. Ah for yesterday...
Iloved whip n chill as a kid! The closest thing i found is yoplait whipped light yogurts. It has the same consistency and flavor. Jimminy Crickets,whip n chill is great!!!
nabisco makes a cookie now called "Newtons Fruit Crisps". They are the closest thing I've seen to a golden fruit cookie. they are more like a crispy/dry pop-tart.
My dad worked for Canada Dry and used to bing home cases of Purple Passion, Cactus Cooler, Tahitian Treat, Rootie Rootbeer, Dads Rootbeer, and Choc-ola in the late 60's and early 70's. I think Purple Passion was grape and ginger-ale combined.
"Bit of Honey" commercial that starts with "Bit of Honey goes a long long way, if you have one piece, it lasts all day! that's how I remember it.
Follow the new Gino's on Twitter; GINOSBurgers, On Facebook search for Everybody Goes to Gino's and on the web google ginosgiant for BIG news!
I always look for it. It was the greatest and worth every penny. BRING IT BACK!!!
LOL. I inhaled those Great Shakes as a little kid, I loved them so much that I had 9 cavities before I turned 9 (now in my late 40s,I'm paying for all that indulgence with dental work). Great Shakes' plastic container only added to the allure. Wish I could time travel back to those days. . . .
50 years ago this was my Mom's favorite candy bar. I've talked about this candy bar and no one ever heard of it. It makes sense that it was made in South Dakota; I grew up 50 miles from Sioux Falls.
I remember the Egg Nog flavor, I wish they still make this as I do crave egg nog other then just Thanksgiving and Xmas time, does anyone know if this is still in stores any where, I know here in Northern CT/USA they dont sell it anymore.
Chipsters are made by Kraft foods -- I just bought some in Italy (Cipsters, the 'ci' makes 'ch' sound) and they are amazing! Am writing Kraft to bring these back to the USA.
I remember these as a kid and I am 53. I remember buying them at the Morgan and Lindsey. These came out in the mid to late 60's. I don't know of anyone that got hurt eating one of these suckers. Imagine today!!
I remember drinking Simba in the early 70's in East Ridge, TN. The slogan was (Concurs the African thirst).
The chocolate....mmmmm. I wore my stride rite clow sneakers with the removable fuzzy clown nose on the laces while chewing this gum.
They discontinued these sometime in the 90's. My husband and I ate them as children, then when we got together in the 90's. I wish they would poll people before they discontinue things!
I remember eating them in a rain storm with the lights going out. Those little diagonal stripes were cool
I used to eat mine in a milk glass flamingo print irish coffee mug. Mac and Cheese was my fave! Much better and less heartburny than the convience foods now.
OMG.....I was trying to tell a friend of mine about these and she looked at me like I was crazy, but that spaghetti was so good but my favorite was the mac & cheese!!! wish Betty Crocker would dig back into there vault and get the recipe back out and make this stuff again, ohhhhh the good old day~
As a kid in the 60's, nothing was better than some Ideal Peanut Butter Logs and a glass of really cold milk. Those packages sure did go fast!
I think I am going to cry! I remember the window, I am glad I was not the only one...I remember the wrapper...I remember a cartoon girl on a slide it seems there was sliding down to chocoliiiite. Aero is good, but I do remember the sugary crunch. I think nestle lied about not enough sales. I also remember the long marathon bars and yes there is a similar canadian bar...curly whirly I think...I had one not long ago
Does anyone know if Pogen Gingersnaps are still around or where to get them?
It was a chocolate malt flavor until they "improved" the flavor and totally ruined it. It was very expensive. I remember I was shaking it in the living room once when I was watching TV and the shaker came apart and Great Shake went everywhere! I learned how to houseclean that day.....very quickly!
We had Charlie Chips delivered for years! They were kept in our coat closet, except for one kept in a special cupboard in our kitchen. One day, I had had a very bad day at high school. I came home and ate an entire can by myself.
We just acquired a Winross Charles Chips truck model.
I grew up in the South and it was MOON Pies and a cola. They were made in 1917 and they are still being made in North Carolina!. Scooter Pies are just "Moon Pie" WannaBes. If you want the original, you have to go South!! Just like the Mickey D ice tea that is served in the North, not enough sugar.
I remember watching football on Saturdays and Sundays (Mom, Dad, my 3 brothers and the dog, eating Charles Chips with french onion dip and big glasses of ice cold Pepsi. Great memories. Great chips. Still the best. I'll have to get to Cracker Barrel and get a tin of them. Our Charles Chips man was one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet. I miss those much simpler days.
Could someone post the address or any info from the package so I could get ahold of them? Thanks!
You aren't the only one who loved Toastettes. I ate them in college and some times they were the only thing I ate all day! I do so miss them! I tried to tell my daughter how awesome they were but unfortunately she'll never know. They were go gooey and I loved the pull string! Nabisco - you messed up! Bring 'em back!!
I was just recalling those chips because I bought a bag of Lay's Honey BBQ chips and they are much the same. Brought back some memories.
Wow, I thought I was the only one who remembered these!I especially loved them dunked in milk. They were the perfect breakfast before school, and the best after school snack, particularily during cold Wisconsin winters! Strawberry and Cherry were my favorites;I don't recall any other flavors mentioned here. So much better than sickneningly sweet Pop Tarts -- Geez, why not just give kids a candy bar for breakfast? Yep, what memories...I really miss Danish Go Rounds!
Wow! I'm sooo happy to see that others remember Chum Gum, There was a small corner store in North Buffalo called "Heevey's" and they carried the best penny candy around!! What I wouldn't give for one stick!
I loved Toastettes and miss them horribly. I've always hated Pop Tarts. Toastettes were golden brown and the filling just the right combo of sweet/tart. Their ingredients weren't as artificial as Pop Tarts either, I think they just had artificial color. I want my Toastettes back!
