Food from your childhood

FLoRa · 22nd March 2003, 2:01 PM

Is there any foods out there that were around when you were kids, that you miss now?
Personally mine are:~

Pop Rocks - Those thingys that pop on your tongue...I know they still have them, but I haven't seen them around

Bertie Beetles - You can only seem to get those from Ekka :\

Will put more when I think of them...But what are some of yours?

Mine aren't exactly manufactured products but local things such as

- Sausage rolls that came from the local bakery that shut down 8 years ago. No other sausage roll I've had even comes close.

- Turkish Donuts made by my Grandmother. Balls of dough deep fried in oil and then sugar coated.

Now I'm allergic to just about anything I eat. Eh such is life

I had my first push pop in about 6 years a couple of months ago, they had advanced from when you would use your finger to push the lollipop up which left you with a wet and sticky finger, to what they have now, a spring loaded push pop... it just isnt the same
