The only thing that comes to mind is Carnation breakfast bars. They were amazing. I don't know if they were actually certified kosher. I grew up in a sort-of kosher home where if my mother didn't see anything objectionable on the ingredients she deemed it kosher enough.

I didn't know they stopped making tangy taffies. That is terrible Sad

Anyone misses Howie and Sally's Biscottie? Best one out there and from one day to the next it's gone awol.

The only thing that I can think of offhand is Mocha Mix, which, growing up OOT in the 90s, was THE Parve ice cream available. No idea if it's still around but I haven't seen it in years.

Sugar Daddies, Sugar babies, Turkish taffy.

They also still make Tangy taffys, but they call them Laffy Taffys these days. I remember seeing atomic fireballs a couple of years ago, but I haven't seen them since.

Tangy Taffy and Laffy Taffy are NOT the same. LaffyTaffy tastes like wax!

Atomic fire balls/red hots/lemonheads/Alexander the grape/Boston baked beans/
Jaw breaker.... were all made by Ferrara Pan. The company was sold/merged a few years ago, and some of the manufacturing moved to Mexico (I think) and is no longer under haskacha.
I researched this a few years ago when I needed Red Hots for my misloach manot theme.☹️

I miss strawberry tarts that were filled with custard ,a delicious jam on top of the strawberries, and ground coconut around the bottom. I haven't seen a strawberry tart for sale in almost 25 yrs!!

It's funny, I remember some of these foods but hadn't even noticed that they are no longer in circulation...

Remember the watermelon flavor that had black "pits" and pink flavor that had s"prinkles"

And yes, I also do have a vague memory of string things form when I was very young. We peeled off the shape!
