Canadian Cuisine?
I'm from Toronto, and the food here is like anywhere - some great food, and some not so great food. I think this is universal.

What childhood food do you wish they still made?
@ag3208, yes yes yes. Don't remember what it was called, but it was taffy like, wrapped in a kind of wax paper that would often stick in a groove of the candy. Not coconut flavoured, more like vanilla if I remember correctly. Fresh and bendy was fabulous. Stale? Not so much. I too am in Canada, I'll keep looking...

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?
