Is there a food, drink, snack, or anything else edible that you used to have as a kid and are finding as an adult that you don't see it around anymore?

We're definitely going to be showing our ages on this one :)

For me, Jello Pudding Pops, and Flintstone push up pops are high among the list

Hmm, I am going to have to put some thought into this.

Do they still have Pop Rocks?

How about original Jolt cola?

They still make Fruit Roll-Ups?

I know, those hot dogs with the cheese in the center!

"fruit roll-ups"! I bet kids don't even eat that anymore. It taste too much like the real thing.

Just thinking about those cheese dogs is making me sick:krank-big:

Boofer, I really thought you would come up with something old, you know, something from YOUR youth, not mine. ;)

I use to love the Lick em Aid's and Pixie Stix. Nothing like flavored sugar!

Dude Im only 39! How old did you think I was?

EDIT:

The best part of Lick em Aid were the sticks. Especially the packs that came with 2 sticks....

How about the wax tubes filled with sugar water?

And bottlecaps?

Yes to both. I actually got the wax bottles on our road trip last weekend... cause I'm cool.

Like I said, things I don't remember. :)

They still have bottle caps.

The wax tubes with that that liquid stuff in them was interesting but damn gross at the same time. They use to have cola ones that looked like little coke bottles and you bit the top off and drank it. Ick. Though it was cool at the time.

I loved candy cigarettes. How come they'd only put six of them in a box that could hold 50?

Wasnt that pretty insidious of the cigarette manufacturers back then? They'd never be able to market a product like that to children now a days.
