My favorite cookie has always been the chocolate-oatmeal no-bakes my mom's always made. Here I am, 45 years old, and I still get shipments of them.

Chocodiles! I will never forget the time when I ws 3 and my mom bought a brand new box of Chocodiles, and then the babysitter ate ALL OF THEM.

Every year at Christmas, My Mom would make potato candy, (potato, confectioners sugar, and peanut butter) I would steal the plate and hide out to enjoy the delectable edibles.

tomato soup. i was a vegetarian from the time i can remember because my older sister was, (i'm not anymore) but also a very picky eater. so campbells tomato soup with slices of cheddar cheese in it was heaven. i also have very fond memories of mickey mouse popsicles- i loved the shapes and the orange flavor was my favorite!

Thanks, Amyscoop! I remember chocodiles. They were like mockolate covered twinkies, but slightly different. I used to like those grasshopper cookies from Keebler, and their deluxe grahams.
Childhood junk food favorites: twinkies, nutter butters, wise potato chips (original flavor), crunchy cheetos, lucky charms cereal, black jelly beans
Childhood real food favorites: grilled cheese sandwiches, mom's matzo brei, raw carrots, fresh peas straight from the pod, bar-b-qued spare ribs and chicken
From all those on the list, the only things I still eat are grilled cheese sandwiches, mom's matzo brei, raw carrots and fresh peas.

My favorites included dunk-a-roos, chedder goldfish, cookie dough, and fluffer nutter sandwhiches.
I remember that my daily afternoon snack in middle school was a large bag of buttered popcorn with more melted butter on top, a pack of ramen noodles, and then 4 chips ahoy cookies, soon to be followed by dinner. How I was/still am skinny I don't even know.

A slice after school, with a grape drink, and ONLY a grape drink. 25 cents. And pork fried rice on Sunday night.

Those preservative-packed cheese and crackers packages. The ones that had the accompanying red plastic stick to smear the processed cheese spread onto the overly sweet and mealy crackers.

1950's Detroit, 7oz coke and a small bag of "Better-Made" potato chips at Mrs. Hefflules corner store.

Another Detroiter here... My fondest childhood food memory is slurping Faygo Rock-n-Rye ice cream floats at my Grandparents' house "up north." Good times.

Tastykake Peanut Butter tandy cakes... I am not sure if thats what they are really called, but its what I can remember them as... Ooo! And butterscotch krimpets... Going to school in the south means that I am far away from these treats... sad panda :(

Favorite lunch was my Jewish mother's toaster oven pizza: half a Thomases english muffin topped with Polly-O mozarella and Aunt Millie's marinara.

American cheese slices, those oatmeal cream cookies-i think they are little debbies.

Bacon bunnies, ie grilled cheese with bacon on top. I have no idea why my mom called them bacon bunnies.

I still crave & remember my mother's 'fried' spaghetti for lunch - leftover spaghetti fried in a cast iron pan with lots of butter...not too much sauce...yum!
I also remember the sandwiches my Papa (dad) would make when we spent the week-end at his house & had to stay over on a Sunday night....
he would take two pieces of Italian bread, slather them with butter & thick slices of ham. We would usually always have a few snacks in the lunch too....we were the only kids that would come to school with a large brown grocery sack for a lunch bag!

Growing-up we did not have any already prepared or packaged foods. My mom baked pies everyday---dessert was always my favorite (and still is) part of dinner!

A freshly baked loaf of bread--particularly seeded rye or Italian semolina--from a mom-and-pop bakery never lasted long once it entered our house. I adored soft-serve ice cream in the summer. We called it frozen custard then, and when I had a pistachio frozen custard cone, I was in heaven.
