I saw actual Jiffy Pop

[rosethecopycat]

I saw Jiffy Pop popcorn at Target. I thought that this was long off the market.

What other products do you remember that are long gone.

Carnation Breakfast Bars
Tang
Koogle
Space Sticks
Pink Panther Cereal

Can anyone verify or not?

I think Tang still exists. Old products I remember include Great Shakes (a milkshake mix), Space Food Sticks (vile! ), Stax cereal.

Tang is still being made! We thought it was gone too, but we found it at Wal-Mart a few months ago and have been buying it ever since.

Back in the 70's, there was an instant pudding that came in small cups. I think it was called "shake-a-pudding"

How about the little wax coke bottle shapes that had colored sweet drink in them?

Necco candies, fruit stripe gum.....

I loved the space sticks. The food astronauts ate! The 7up candy bar I loved those . There is a book out now about missing candy bars its really good this candy addict travels around trying to locate the different ones.
I can't remember the name I will look for it and add it .
Candyfreck: a journey in to the chocolote underbelly of America. By Steve Almond You guys would love it.

I think the wax bottles are available at Cracker Barrel. They have a lot of old timey candy.

But what about cereals?

I'm over 40, and my favorite was Pink Panther cereal. Turned the milk pink.
(gross).

Also, there were some TV dinners that I remember...something to do with pirates....


I think that the Space Sticks were gross, but I sure ate alot of them in the 70's (during a cross country trip) Money was tight, and we were only allotted one Carnation Breakfast bar a day, the rest had to be Space Sticks. Peanut butter.....chocolate....vanilla..... (they were about as pallatable as diet soft drinks back then)

This wasn't an old product, but, something that isn't offered anymore. It wasn't offered for very long, and, I never found out why. But, Godiva, in the last few years, started making ice cream. My favorite was Ivory Chocolate Chip. Oh, man it was awesome. But, for the longest time, they haven't offered that flavor. I don't think I even saw it available for even a full year. Hm. This thread is fun, though...

I miss Flinstone's Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles, and I miss Flinstone Push-up popsicles. I also miss that plain porridge that came with the strawberry jam stuff that you squirt out of the plastic wrapper. I must have been like 5 the last time I ate it, I can't even remember what it's called.
