gourmet pride soup from the early 90's. it was way better than cup of noodle and top ramen. i tried to track some down a couple years ago and failed. i know someone out there has leftovers sitting in the back of their pantry or garage just waiting to be discovered! it's hard to find any info on them on the net even. all i could find was a short article about the soups creator, jack roth, and how his business failed. :(

Pepsi Vanilla was the BEST coke's sucked because it used flavoring. Pepsi used syrup!

burple.
the drink that came in the accordion-like container...
you added water to it and used the container to make some sort of kool-aid type drink
dont know why they stopped it might have not been that good.

I think they still may make those mini wheats. I remember getting the strawberry ones at walmart like a year or two ago. Walmart was the only place I ever saw em...maybe they were selling old stock????

I remember eating some sort of colored popcorn as a kid.
No clue who made it, or what the flavors were but I clearly remember having popcorn in blue, orange, red, etc.

Pixie stix (straws filled with sugary flavored powder)
Tiny wax soda bottles filled with syrup stuff (best if chewed up:) )
Bottle caps (rootbeer flavored round discs candies)
Chocolate soldiers (the real chocolate drink, yo ho is a lousy wannabe)

I remember Chocolate Soldier...good stuff. I'm pretty sure all of that stuff is still made.

BARF! We have a big container of strawberry ones in the office. So gross...they make everyone feel sick after eating them. I don't know why.

Anyways, you can get them at just about any asian market.

KOALA YUMMIES! lol

I remember eating a whole bag when I was younger and I got so sick. I still had some after that incident, just not the whole bag ;)

I remember those, but I think they were Brown Sugar Cinammon in the center not apple.

I liked Dunka Roos

Check any drug store candy isle. Pop Rocks are alive and well- my son gets them all the time. They have goofy variations now too- like dipper sticks and mixed flavors.

FIZZIES! I recently found an old store with a stash of these (they're still being made in small quatities). Root Beer Fizzies were the best. For those that don't know, they were tablets like Alka-Seltzer, but they turned water into soda :)
