This was my favorite all time candy bar back in the mid to late 50's. The variety was great, and every bite had a different taste.
We saw a commercial for Rolos and I said to my wife, that goes back a ways. She agreed, then I said do you remember the Butternut CandyBar. No, she said. It was the best tasting CandyBar ever I explained.
I have looked and looked and looked again. I have been all over the world looking for Chum gum. I chewed it everyday as a kid. My boyfriend thinks I am crazy and has no idea what I am talking about. IF someone finds it my e-mail whiteki@realtracs.com that is how serious I am at 57 years old. OMG if a kid had that gum now maybe they would have the energy to get off their butt and go play in the woods!!! OMG just remembered we don't have any woods all the developer's got rid of them. Maybe that is why we don't have chum gum the base is made from tree's OMG.
Oh do I remember sneaking sippity do da's in my Aunts purse and into the movie theater. My brothers n sisters always fond memories!
used to take kid to Henry'S on Union Rd.& Genesse St in Cheektowaga N.Y for .15 hambergers & fries as a treat many times.There is a BURGER King in that area now,but Henry's was the best !!!!!!!!
I remember those cookies and loved them so much. One box was never enough. How come there are no archives with the picture of the cute packaging concept with the kitty and all. Come on Nabisco.....show us that box again !
My Big brother would make several boxes of whip n Chill in a giant green Tupperware bowl, he'd eat it with a giant serving spoon! My six sisters would all beg him for some and to no avail...!!! Being his favorite baby sister he'd give me BIG bites of it right in front of my sisters!!! HAHA... and yep...I am STILL his favorite! LOL Oh how I'd LOVE to find some Whip n Chill to share with Him!!!
I remember Wetson's Hamburgers like it was just yesterday. I used to cut out coupons from the PennySaver that advertised '5 Hamburgers for .59 cents'and give them to my parents for our Friday night dinner. That was back in 1966 or 1967. The Wetson's we went to was on Sunrise Hwy. in Bay Shore, which is now a Sprint store. What a wonderful memory of a short lived but great American fast food establishment!
In regards to this "Hawaiian Hamburger Helper" that Betty Crocker says never existed, I believe back in the 70s that Hunt's came out with a line of Hunt's Skiller Dinners that came in a box similar to Hamburger Helper and that they had the Hawaiian flavor.
Nice! makes "All Natural Veggie Sticks" (mixed flavored bag with potato, spinach & tomato sticks - long, hollow rectangular tubes). Different shape but the yellow potato sticks in the bag taste JUST LIKE...Chipsters!!! Yummm!! They're distributed by Walgreens Co so probably available at Walgreen's drugstores. I live in NYC & bought them at a Duane Reade drugstore. My brother in ATL said he gets them at Costco (I think) or Whole Foods (not sure). Try them - I think you'll get your Chipsters fix! :)
My parents use to buy us apple beer every Saturday on our way to a roping in Deertrail Colorado. We would buy it at a small store in Last Chance Colorado. I have always wondered why they quit making it. Love it!!!
Chippos were the best! Too bad they're not around anymore. :(
My father was also a marketing manager working for Reuben H. Donnelly company in Philadelphia and got me a summer job wourking out of hte Cananda Dry plant in northeast Philly giving out free samples. I rode around in one of the trucks with the bottle on top and we would set up at shopping centers where big chain grocery stores were and hand out free samples and coupons. Towards the end of the summer we we hitting the mom&pop stores all over the metropolitan area and in some pretty rough neighborhoods but it was a great experience. And it actually did taste pretty good.
