I miss the S'mores cookies and Fudgies, the little Kraft chewy candies in a gold wrapper. Does anyone remember the cereal, Double-Dip Crunch? I was like a "frosted" Crispix. Mmmmm!!! Oh, and the Quacker "strawberry" snack/dessert bars that looked like Nutri-Grain but had a little "squiggle" of white "icing" on top. I'm hungry now.

I miss everything on the top ten list with the exception of the C3PO's-never had those. I also miss Planters Cheeseballs and Cheesecurls, and O' Boises (those were by far my favorite potato chip growing up-especially the sour cream and onion).
But I'm super surprised that one of the most amazing foods of the 80's was left off of this list and wasn't named by anyone. I want to know what happened to Red Devil Cheese Puffs. My mom would buy them every year for New Years Eve and we were so excited to take them out of the freezer and bake them-and even if they were burnt they were still good. I really miss those and can't find them anywhere.
As far as fast food restaurants, I was very happy to find a Roy Rogers a couple of years ago (to only have it taken away from me) but all of their food from my childhood all tasted the same right down to the french fries and the pickles in the fixin bar.
Also, I don't know if any one has noticed but the good old "two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame bun" (of course I'm referring to the Big Mac), the special sauce is different from when I was a kid-which I kept telling my mom about and she thought I was crazy, but I saw something on food network recently that said McD's lost the special sauce recipe in the 90's and the sauce is different now-so that being said I also miss the original big mac.

I totally remember Doo Dads. I grew up in Michigan and my father loved that snack. Since moving to Florida 15 years ago I've never seen it again.

I'm also glad to see others that remember Cinnamon Chachos. I loved those and when I explain them to people (to see if they remember them) they look at me like I'm insane.

I didn't realize that Planter's discontinued Cheez Balls. That's a bummer.

sable42, I'm happy to report that here in Florida Little Caesar's has had a huge resurgence thanks to cheap $5 take-away pizzas. Years ago Caesar's started closing up, but in the last year or so they've exploded all over my area, even opening a Drive Thru location! Now all the pizza places in the area are trying to copy them (usually with a bigger $6 pizza) but L.C. is doing business like gangbusters.

Also, if you never had GatorGum don't worry, it was terrible.

Columbus was a Jerk. Jerk chicken is perfect:)
