seems like I'm in the same boat with the same story. These beans were the greatest; everybody loved them. Still trying to find a suitable substitute. Will report any new findings. Thanks to EVERYONE who sent recipes.

In response to Catherine's post on Feb 04,2013 regarding the Lance cakes... "My all time favorite cake was the sweet potato cake that they made. OOOOH I can just taste that thing right now! It wasn't a whole round cake, but it was in the shape of half that. So moist and spicey. Just delicous. The store couldn't keep enough of those things! Lance really to do a THROW BACK TO RETRO SNACKS!!! If only once a year forever! The best snacks ever!" I absolutely LOVED those sweet potato cakes too.. I was just trying to explain them to a co-worker and decided to see if I could find a picture of them online. It was my all time favorite snack as a kid growing up in SC. I would purchase a case if they would make them again.... What a pity that they stopped making them.

Thought I was crazy trying to figure out the name of this gum. I'm 57 yrs old and remember this well. The taste was phenomenol,sure wish they would make it again, it was the best.

The original Yipes Stripes was launched in the early 1960's as an extension to the gum line at Beech Nut which made both candy and baby food. In 1968 Beech Nut (which had also acquired Life Savers in 1956) merged with Squibb pharmaceuticals to become Squibb Beech-Nut Corporation. In 1981 Nabisco acquired just the confectionery portion with the brands of Beech Nut and Life Savers. In 1999 Hershey’s picked up the brand from Nabisco along with the more popular Bubble Yum, Ice Breakers, Breath Savers and Care Free gums but then sold off the Fruit Stripes brand, along with Rain Blo, Hot Dog and Superbubble, to Farley’s & Sathers in 2003. Just this year Farley’s and Sathers merged with the Ferrara Pan Candy Company which still produces Fruit Stripes today.

I bought a big bag of Tootsie pops with a variety of candy in it. Their banana or what they call banana tootsie pop with the yellow wrapper taste just like funtime gum . My son asked me what flavor is that? It took me 3 yes 3 pops to figure it out. I sure do miss that gum to. I wanted to show him but no pics yet. Take care people and keep on chewing .

Just bought one on eBay this week. If anyone has questions on them let me know, I have one in my hand. Bought it for my wife who used to buy them from the ice cream man all the time as a kid.

People ur girl has done a lil homework for those of us who want to find these cookies. They were originally under Nabisco now Kraft and were called Nabisco chocolate snap and chocolate chip cookies. They were discontinued due to low demand if you can believe that. I'm still searching and if I find any I'll be sure to tell. Smooches!

I don't know what made me think of these cookies but thank GOD for the internet n U all who remember these delicious cookies from the 70's. They had 3 colored boxes - red/white, drk brown n blue/white. They were so good that u ate them slow when u gi t down to a few. WOW how I miss them. I could taste them now. Ummmm! Haven't seen em since the late 80's. Cracker barrel restaurant/store may have them.

When growing up, we called these cookies "finger cookies" because we'd put one finger through thr hole in them & stack a "finger-full"as a snack after swimming. They were inexpensive, & also there was a chocolate chip version. They are a tradition at my mom's house. To this day small kids will ask for the "finger cookies". A local AG store carries the Murray brand of the butter flavor, at almost $4 for a pack of about 11 oz. If anyone knows another brand or where they can be purchased or ordered online, please let me know. Email address is: WandaRuss@hotmail.com

I remember sitting in my girl friend's mother's little apartment kitchen. She prepared a jar of College Inn Chicken and Noodles and since we were both very hungry from our sexual romp she was frying a couple of pork chops in addition. I distinctly remember that meal. As we ate "In the Year 2525" played on the radio.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izQB2-Kmiic The year was 1969 and that might have been the last time I had that College Inn product. Good memories.

I remember seeing a Clanky in my paternal Grandmothers refrigerator in Kingsville Texas around 1970. Bottle says they were made in Chicago but I never saw them in a Chicago store. I found on eBay two Clanky bottles. One dated 1963 and the other dated 1964.

My dad would buy these for himself, on threat of my life I ate a few anyway...I still remember how good they were. I would do it again in a heart beat.

Be sure to join the Toastettes Facebook page and share with friends. I've been searching for the recipe or ingredients for these so to maybe recreate them.

I used to love grapefruit tang! It went go good with cheese ...

Hi Other JJ lovers.. This is the only site I've found so far that knows what i'm talking about. Still trying to find a pic.

These, as I recall, left poptarts behind. My grandmother brought them home one day, and would always get them till they disappeaeed.

They was a lot like Rolos candy

I remember buying the last two boxes of Fruity Freakies at this store in 1976 (They never restocked it,and I never had them again). I didn't care if they ripped off Froot Loops.I thought they tasted good.Anything tasted better than the original Freakies cereal.

Loved those chips! Wish they would come back too! Can not even find an image of them... :(

I had the grape chips, didn't think they were great but ate them anyway. It was a rare treat to have money to buy something. I grew up near Saint John, N B.

I remember this when I was a little girl and now have been craving burgers with Shake and Bake. The best hamburgers I have eaten. Maybe we all need to petition their site...lol

We used to hit the Farrell's on 28th St in Grand Rapids when I was a kid. and like most others leaving comments here, it was etched on my mind and brings nothing but wonderful memories. Nothing but fun was had by all. Thanks for the board,this was fun to read!
