What childhood food do you wish they still made?

Haribo definitely still makes gummi bears (Haribo macht kinder froh!)

What I miss:

Kool-Aid unsweetened mix in raspberry - I mourned the day they discontinued the flavor - it was the sourest. I have an incredible sour tooth and I would go down to the corner store to buy this stuff and eat it like Fun Dip.

Figurines in vanilla. These were diet food in the form of wafers. My mom would bring them home in an effort to diet 70's style and I would eat them all.

Quench gum - the old really sour kind - not this sweet version they've brought back. Again, I have a real sour tooth.

Cooking with Kids: Real Corny

If your're cooking with kids, you gotta try home-made Kettle Corn - on the stove (Google a recipe). We love it! Piles of the stuff!

Cook the Book: 'The Vegetable Dishes I Can't Live Without'

My grandma's tomato salad recipe: backyard garden tomatoes (I prefer a mix of red & yellow brandywines!), garlic, salt, olive oil. Yum-O.

Water. A nice, tall, cool glass of water. No ice. Cool water.

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?

What I miss most:
Saturday morning watching cartoons and heating up a frozen Sarah Lee Rasberry Strudel coffee cake or the cheese danishes.

"THEY" do still make Muncho chips. I love those too. I found them at a local chain grocery and the quick mart in the office building where I work.
You can still get Charelston Chews too. The original big size AND you can find boxes of small, bite-size Chews too. So good. They even make Chocolate Charelston Chews, but I don't care for those as much. No childhood memories with those, I guess. By the way, who is Charelston?

Remember 1,2,3 Jello? It was 3 layers of different textured jelloy stuff; jello, then fluffy jello, then a whip on the top layer. I loved that goodness. It came in orange, cherry or blueberry flavors, as I recall. You HAD to make it in clear glasses so you could see the fun layers. I begged my mom to buy that so I could "cook" it and enjoy it after the dinner she made.
Ah...Good times.

Oh yes I miss Planter's cheese balls, Keebler Tater skins and the Pizzarias. I also miss Monterey Jack cheese flavored Doritos. Chicken Little's from KFC were also great.
