Wow, there's a memory.

What about Tang?

I was thinking about that. But I never cared for it myself.

And Tab.

(And caffeine-free Dr. Pepper which seem[ed/s] to be a regional thing? But now my local stores don't carry caffeine-free Coke either, only if you get it in Diet, so maybe caffeine free Dr. Pepper still exists in some places like its Coke counterpart....)

Who remembers Twin Pops? Oh, I know you can buy them these days individually packaged, but we used to lick them both together...

I didn't like Creamsicles, but do you remember them? Pale orange ices that had a creamy inside something between an ices and ice cream.

I also dreadfully miss Chew Chews.

I get budget twin popsicles in Walmart from time to time. Complete with root beer flavors, etc....

Creamsicles exist in Cholov Stam versions at least.

Tangy taffy's, atomic fireballs

I'm pretty sure I'm better off without them

Laffy Taffy now makes Tangy Taffy--the big ones, but no sprinkles.

I miss the kosher prepackaged bagel dogs and there was a kosher version of "chef boyardee" spaghetti and meatballs that you could microwave. Those were great when my mother had to work at night.

I have seen bugles, but still not a reliable hechsher.

Also Munchos, my local JCC carried them in the vending machine and I was disappointed to find out that we didn't rely on triangle-K. Those were good.

they used to make these little square taffy candies that were wrapped in silver paper, they came in orange, strawberry, and lemon. Yum!

BTW, I remember when chew-chews came in cherry, lemon, or chocolate flavors.

When I was pretty young, they had these little mini chocolate cookies in a snack-sized pack. I think there was a vanilla version as well. I don't know if it's just nostalgia making me remember them as awesome.....

Also, definitely dream cups. The milk-chocolate coconut ones, please.

I haven't seen it recently, but maybe the store stopped carrying it.

A relative used to bring us potato/liver knishes from Toronto. They were really good! I hope they still make them, whoever they are.....

Fruit snacks like the curious george shaped ones!
Chew chews for sure.
Oh I told my kids about sticking bugles onto our fingers as kids- they did not believe me. Well sure enough I later found a bag but it was not kosher.

For those looking for tangy taffies - they do exist, but made by Laffy Taffy - it's not the same as the ropes or little ones. They come with and without the sprinkles.

Bagels that cost 6 for $1.00. Now they are almost or are $1.00 a piece! It tastes so much better when it doesn’t cost so much😀

Trader Joe had fruit snacks in the summer that was very similar to the Betty Crocker ones. I didn't see it the last time I went.

But even without, I haven't seen them in a while.

They have them in shoprite. Everytime I see them I check to see if it got back a hechsher.

Caprisuns. They are still around but no hechsher anymore.
