Im from England and we didnt get most of those things here. We do have microwave chips in the little grids like you were saying and theyre everywhere but one thing i miss, which i know u guys still ave but have been banned over here, are Luck Charms cereal. They were AMAZING! I can buy them in Selfridges (a really really posh department store) but theyre imports and its £7 a box!!! thats about $15!!! needless to say I cant afford that!
Does anyone remember the little potato chips that came in a box? They looked like little uninflated balloons. They were really crispy, and it seems like there was a hot air balloon on the box. They were always near the Bugles. They kind of tasted like Munchos. I have been thinking about these for years.
Had to join up just to add this comment: I totally miss Fizzies, the fruity tablets that you dropped in cold water to make instant carbonated beverages. The chemists couldn't get it to work or taste quite the same after cyclamates were banned in 1969. Although is supposedly reformulated good as new in 2006. http://www.oldtimecandy.com/fizzies.htm
Does anyone remember the Golden Grahams cereal that had the little marshmallows and chocolate pieces in it -- smore-ie goodness!!

Sunshine Hydroxy Cookies! They were much better than Oreos for me. Well, OK ... maybe my palate has changed, and but now I will never know. I would still love to get my hands on some of those cookies. I haven't been able to find them in eons. Probably too many dreaded trans-fats. Such a bummer ...
I must admit that i remeber almost all of these foods, but honestly don't miss any of them! Charlie Chips in the can delivered to your front door was THE BEST. Thye may be available some places, but they are definitely not the same chip. they are not any good anymore. That is my reminiscence.
Hiya,
You can get Pudding Pops at Meijers here in the midwest.! Now if only they could bring back Magic Middles....my hubby has been hearing about my cravings for them for years now!
The elimination of MacDonald's fried apple pies can be added to the list of insane "politically correct" changes in the fast food industry over the last 20 years. Gone, is the great taste of their french fries, hamburgers, KFC's chicken, etc.
As far as soda, such as Coke and Pepsi, corporate greed has eliminated their once-great tastes because the corn syrup they now use in the product is cheaper than the pure sugar cane that was formally used.
As far as nostalgic foods, back in the 70's I used to love the little mini-pizzas that were fully encased in pizza crust that you pop into the toaster.....Delicious!! Forgot who put them out.
