Oh, man, I thought I had blocked out my Gatorade Gum cravings!

Pickle juice is great if you have high sugar levels due to diabetes to help lower them. Dallas Cowboys have been using it for years as an secret boost of energy rather than chocolate milk, candy, or energy bars that can bring them down due to the sugar. Athletes with diabetes use Pickle juice mixed with water for boost drinks. I it frozen on a stick.

does anyone else remember "Milkshake" candy bars. Tasted like a chocolate malt.Also a Japanese hard candy in a round red tin. We used to call it umeboshi candy.

I think it was Keebler used to make these fudge sandwich cookies in a box. They were like a coco flavor with a fudge creme center. the were just called fudge sandwich cookies. Haven't been able to find them since the early nineties. The were great.Also miss the cheez balls in a can.

OK, Marathon Bars were the bomb, especially frozen. Does anyone remember a chocolate bar called Chocolite. It was alll chocolate, but had a lot of air bubbles on the inside. How about actual Gatorade Gum? I do remember the bacon chips, they were small bacon shaped crisps. Does anybody remember Doritos Sour Cream and Onion?

I drink it. We used to have a tradition in my singing group (think singing frat) where any used drink containers were thrown gently into the middle of the room (with the couches all around the perimeter). Nothing ever breaks in that rehearsal room. Usually, it was beer bottles and coke cans. One day, I threw in a pickle jar after I was done sipping. Got a lot of weird looks, but it was darn tasty.

I don't know how it started, but my mother used to pour enough pickle juice to fill the jar lid and then drizzle it over very well done scramble eggs. I used to love it. I still can only eat my eggs scrambled BURNT/DEAD, and I still have a love for sour pickle juice on my eggs or right out of the jar :)

MALLOMARS ARE STILL AVAILABLE! Man, it doesn't take much to make me happy.

God I loved Fizzies as a kid! Cola and Root Beer Mmmmm. Also a powdered drink mix called 'Funny Face' Goofy Grape and Freckle Face Strawberry was my fav's. I used to and still love Necco wafers (not a candy kids gravitated too). Space Dust / Pop Rocks were good esp. if you chanced the urban myth on a dare and swallowed a whole pack to see if your stomach would explode. LOL! My all time fav though in the toxic waste I ingested as a kid has to be a cereal from the late 60s called 'Kaboom' kind of like Honey Comb's but dyed with fluorescent colors and caked in sugar. When you added milk all the dye leached out into this colorfull swirl. No wonder I was able to walk on the ceiling during the first few hours of class. LOL! Great site btw!

Thanks to Martha Stewart's Living, I learned that quartered green tomatoes are perfect for pickling in left over pickle juice. Yum!

You can go to fizzies.com and order any flavor you like! My favorite is cherry or grape. By the case for $12 or 15 - I can't remember. But what I miss the most are those giant Charms lollipops - I was proposed to with a handful of Charms Cherry because I was always seen with one stuck in my mouth! I was in the Army and they were at the ice cream store on base and one day an officer said I should at least take the sucker out of my mouth with I salute!

We run a Girls Softball League Concession Stand and sell the clausen pickles, but also we freeze the juice in sauce cups and the kids go NUTS over Picklecicles!!! In 3 weeks time we have gone thru over 150 picklecicles. Now if we can just get them to buy the pickles, so we can buy more juice!!! We need to figure out how to make homemade pickle juice??
