Hankering for something from your childhood? "Missing your My-T-Fine pudding, Skybars or Walnettos? Wonder what happened to Chocolate Babies, Cherry Chip Cake Mix or Junket Custard?" Here's the site:

I have noticed a lot of actual vintage unopened packages of Kool-aid at antique stores recently. I have been wasting all this time at sales and to think, all I had to do was raid the back of Granny's kitchen cabinets!

Right now I am eating Raspberry Junket-my favorite dessert as a kid. I haven't been able to find it for over 20 years. I ordered it from this website and it arrived today. It is just as I remembered it. It was also my dad's favorite and I am going to surprise him with it on Thanksgiving. A big thank you to HartCottageQuilts.

Glad to be of service

my favorite as a child was some kind of a large tablet that was dropped into water and became a flavored (like orange or strawberry) drink that was carbonated. I seem to recall they were called "fizzies". Not sure about that though.
Anyway they were much more fun to just place them on our tongues rather than in the water. Foaming at the mouth was always a good one for grandma.
Haven't seem them for 30 years. Must have gone off the market.
Not my name on ebay.

ValleyGirl - You sound like our granddaughter....try anything to get a reaction from grandma....you devil you. 
clarksville- I did too and agree.
But since it's here again, maybe others will share their childhood favorite.
In the 50s, in So. CA., we had a Helm's Bakery truck that came around daily, like ice cream trucks do. All the kids on our block looked forward to their arrival. Mine favorite was cream puffs. A light, fluffy pastry that was filled with whipped cream. To die for. YUM YUM

20 years from now if there is a good hiccup of global warming we will be saying - Remember when we had apples every fall real cheap and you could buy great beef for $10 a pound? Remember when they could grow strawberries outside and they were $2 a quart instead of $25? Bread was $1 a loave instead of $10? Those were the days....

I went surfing in that link, but couldnt find my fav of all favs....individually wrapped jaw breakers from the late 1950's. They had swirly insides, so as you sucked on them, they would change colors as you got further down. Those were SO GOOD. But, they dont make them anymore

nycyn, I thought it was a cool link/thread too. I was trying to find another one that is over a few years old, but didnt stumble across it. Who knows..maybe I will find it tonight. Its full of wonderful recipes the posters supplied...fabulous mouthwatering homestyle recipes. So many cool threads from way back when...will try to find a few, but THIS time, I wont post more than one or two, so I dont "bury" the current topics.

I sure remember those things Valleygirl. They were like colored alka-seltzer. I was thinking they were called Fizzies too. Yeah, you'd open your mouth and it was full of foam!! It's a wonder we all didn't choke.

Yup, Fizzies. They are making them again and there are sellers of them on Ebay. Last year I sold a "vintage" 1960's unopened package of grape Fizzies on Ebay for $110.00. Can you imagine that?

I remember those fizzies too, lol. And there was another item that reminds me of when I was a kid...cant think of the name of it but it was something BOY...flavored syrup to put on snow when dad took us to the mountains to play in it and we made snow cones. Flavor Boy? I loved the rootbeer flavor

Sno-Boy I think. There was a snowman shaped ice "flaker" and it came with flavored syrups.

No josey. YOU are the last word louie. How come you always need to respond with a dig everytime you THINK Im wrong in something? Eh? Whats YOUR answer? I never see you anywhere except when you show up for an "and furthermore". So far, this thread is peaceful. YOU are the one that is disrupting it. Pot, Kettle, black bubba.

Just how in the hell am I stirring a pot bumping up a FUN thread for others to enjoy that may or may not have been around at that time and brings good memories? Leave me alone Josey. I avoid you, do me the same favor.

The other one similar to fizzies were called swizzle sticks they had the same type of instant bubble material wrapped on a stick. By the way I still have one of those home cotton candy machines

I remember those sticks too! Didnt they come in different flavors and as your stirred, the milk would turn the color of the flavor too? I seem to remember my sister using the strawberry all the time...yuk.
Remember those candies that were like little buttons that were stuck on white paper?

Better hurry Krafty! I did a search on the net and apparently they are out of production again. Can't tell if it is temporary or not.

Oh Krafty! How exciting! You sprung for a degree then? Just the one?
Hey, Josey! Those are neat looking swizzle sticks.I don't think they flavor your milk though.

That's the thing rawbunzel. I decided not to get ANY of the degrees, but just lie instead. I'm sure no one will have the nerve to challenge me.
