Food Network Celeb = Restaurant Chain Spokesman?
Considering Michael Chiarello sold himself out to George Foreman, rember he lost that informercial "cook-off" to George, I think he's the biggest sell-out of the bunch.
The Evolution of the Big Mac?
When I worked at McDonald's for several years (mid-1990s) we most definitely served a Double Big Mac for a time, it was qute popular for a while. But was quickly eclipsed by the Double Quarter Pounder.
The pre-cooked meat for a Double Big Mac was only 6.4 ounces, instead of the 8 ounces for a Double Quarter Pounder.
We also briefly served the Mega Mac, made with Quarter Pounder meat instead of the smaller meat, that lasted about a month or so, one fo the "Burger of the Month" crazes that included the McJordan, McRib, and various other combinations of meat, bacon, and cheese with nifty names.

Banquet frozen cream pies. They used to cost about 25 cents and were really good to eat half frozen. Anybody remember those?

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!

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!

Aspen Apple Soda and the bacon flavored chips shaped like a piece of bacon? I think it might have been a Frito-lay product. Anyone?
