If you mean the kit where you get dough mix, sauce, and cheese, then yes. I use those for the dough mix and sauce when making my own custom deep dish pizzas. I buy my own mozarella. The cheese is sort of like Romano...I sometimes save it for use on italian dishes. The version with pepperoni in the sauce is a bad idea (just tastes wrong). If you want pepperoni, buy the cheese version and buy the pepperoni separately like all the other toppings.

Hey, what was that McDonald's burger that came in the hugemongous styrofoam container...the commercials went "the hot side stays hot...the cool side stays cooool :music:" I remember loving that thing.

These things were awesome and they were definitely the first thing that I thought of when i saw this thread. You can buy those like millano cookies that are kind of the same principle, but i have NO idea why these got pulled.

McDonalds pizza!

I am a BIG fan of pizza. It is my favorite food. Ever. Tied with chicken (in the fried and/or wing variety). I went to Europe when I was in high school, and I expected to have some darn fine pizza in Italy. Nope. I didn't like the pizza in Italy at all. The best pizza I had in Europe was at a McDonalds in Florence - good old New York style. Some street vendor in Nice came in second place. The rest is not really worth mentioning. Maybe I just got unlucky though, because all of the good pizza places around here are owned by Italians.

There was a time about 10 years ago when 7-Eleven sold pizza. I'm pretty sure it didn't make it past the test-market stage. Probably because the ovens were either too expensive or took up too much space. Maybe because they charged $2 for the equivalenty of a slice of pizza when you could go to a pizza place and get a slice for a buck. I don't know. But it was surprisingly good pizza. I worked there, and the pizza had to be thrown away after an hour in the warmer if it wasn't sold. I ate... a lot of hour-old pizza. I wish I could still get that stuff.

and KFC had some small bite size sandwiches for like $.50 man those were great

They have snackers now which are bite sized sandwiches, but they're $1 (or $1.29)

yeah the snackers are ok. but about 12 years ago KFC had some small sandwiches (think called buddies or something like that) that were like 50 cents each. they were yummy but it would take like 6 to fill you up.

Yeah, that thing ruled!

Raystorm's wiki link says the Big & Tasty is kind of the same thing, but it's too damn salty. I don't remember the McDLT being so salty, and when I was young, I HATED salt.

Josta FTW!!!

Mt. Dew Livewire is readily available around seattle... grocery stores, gas stations, everywhere. Sounds like I should offer it for sale online in bulk quantities, about the size of a 2 liter bottle or a 12 pack.

AM-PM (Arco) gas stations have bbq rib sandwiches that are good

I saw some Orbitz at a antique store a couple of years ago haha

There are a few things I'm thinking of but they won't come to me right now. Update later....

My favorite cereal of all time was S'mores Crunch (General Mills).
That new Kelloggs Smorz is nothing compared to it.

Orbit Lemon Lime & Citrusmint are about the closest thing to it available now, they're both really good.

that stuff was awesome. For some reason it would lose it's flavor after 10-15 minutes but then it would some how return 30 minutes later

OMG 80s overload! :laugh:

Gotta love how they just make up a product category -- "Lettuce & Tomato Hamburger"

Twinnnkiesss.

Candy cigarettes

Such an evil heinous idea, but they tasted good.......kind of like a raw sugar with faint hint of peppermint....they were even better when they went a little stale and got a little chewy.

Not that I don't wish they would bring back crystal pepsi

I just keep thinking of the crystal gravy SNL commercial every time I see someone post it.

You do know that diet vanilla coke isn't meant for topical application, don't you?
