Koogle and maybe a sugar free version of Quisp! They were my favorites from this set!

[@epowell4211]

The gum that lost all its flavor in 10 seconds - yup! I remember hiding to eat it because I'd get in trouble for popping one stick after another, trying to keep the flavor lol. Chunky chocolate bars were so good - with raisins and nuts. Closest thing I've found since childhood is the Cadbury Fruit and Nut bar, but it's been over a decade since I've seen them.

One of my fondest memories, I am in the backyard playing in the dirt by myself, my mom comes out with a ding dong and it was sooo good .then she came back out with another one. I will never forget.

[@thaismatsumoto]

It has to do with how they are made now since the company changed hands. All their products aren't as good now.

[@Beezer.D.B.]

Same with Oreos. They are still around but have lost much of their original flavor. Oreo Caksters taste closer to the original Oreo flavor, but of course you compromise texture.

The ding dong is also much smaller now.

Fudgesicles used to be good and chocolatey. Over the years, they were watered down more and more to the point they were basically just brown ice on a stick.

Clove was a Great flavour usually marketed with the licorice gum, Teaberry Gum, n Beeman's bismuth flavoured gum that settled your stomach as Clove gum was great for tooth pain n bad breath, as while cloves STILL are. I keep a jar of them in the cupboard cuz if you have a toothache n put a whole clove on it, it WILL dull the pain!!! Also, Carnation Instant Breakfast powdered shake envelopes were AWESOME too, as they had the BEST chocolate malt n eggnog flavours!!!

And the 7up soda company tried to shut the candy down for decades until they finally succeeded.

[@k_DAN]

7 types of chemicals and we loved each and every one of them

[@newtexan1]

Similar to the sky bar

[@denicesanders4586]

I loved all but the chocolate covered orange candy,

[@jeaniemcdonald1301]

I wish we still had whip-n-chill.

[@tamedshrew235]

My favorite dessert followed by Jello 123

[@LaLunaLady]

I do, too. My mom used to make it to put on jello poke cakes as an extra layer between the cake and whipped cream. SO yummy!

[@Pamer21]

Does anyone remember Brownie chocolate drinks? Omigosh I was addicted! I remember riding my purple huffy bike with the banana seat down to the Handy Way store and getting a Brownie drink, a chico-stick and the latest Thor comic. I was in heaven! Sometimes I'd go for a Nehi peach soda and a charms pop though. Choices, choices! 🤔😄

[@kst6959]

The caramel Marathon bar was my go-to treat in the 70s. Missed it for so long but was thrilled to find the UK Curly Wurly which is basically a mini Marathon bar.

[@BeliaLastes]

My friend from the UK sent me a ton of Curly Wurlys and they tasted just like the Marathon bar except a shorter version and I felt like I was a kid again 😊 good times 😁

[@jackilynpyzocha662]

I remember "Dannon" with fruit on the bottom, you flipped the container over a bowl and poked holes to make a "sundae", yum and fun!

[@kathybaran2721]

Any time I tell anyone about Sour cream and onion Doritos, they think I'm crazy. My BFF and I used to eat them all the time!

[@besetterobinson7468]

So good

[@quiltr141]

Early Doritos had an ingredient that gave me and my sister hives around our mouth that itched.

[@peacefuldaizy5717]

I remember them.

[@BGR.616]

They brought the Sour Cream and onion Doritos back just a few years ago for a limited time along with the Salsa Rio flavor. I bought both of them. The Salsa Rio was my favorite.

[@devondicker3516]

Ring Dings, Ding Dongs, cool whip, Fluffer-nutter, Yodols, Capt Krunch, Lucky Charms, pop tarts, Hostess, Drakes... what a time!

[@ellensstory4429]

One of the best things about the 70's was no one constantly told us this stuff would kill us. Life was so free.

[@DaughteroftheMostHighGod-h6c]

I loved jell-o 1-2-3! I’d love to see that come back!

[@texasgina]

Omg yes

[@barbararichnow7780]

Bring back the old version of Hostess Twinkies, and... How about Girl Scout Cookies that were worth the money, because they were also great tasting and BIGGER!😅

[@Maxine1630]

Our hood favorite, Wise real cheese crunchy doodles and a real Welch's grape soda sold at the school truck!

[@chiaralistica]

I worked in a neighbourhood elementary school recently and they went around with a little cart in the morning that sold stuff like those little hot sausages and stuff. Only place I've ever seen such a thing but I loved it.

[@Ladiofthewoods]

I love Wise! Only place I can find them is our local Dollar Tree. Still think they have the best plain chips and cheese puffs ever.

[@chiaralistica]

@@Ladiofthewoods omg, yes, plain Wise chips are the best!

[@DonnaDouglas-x3x]

I miss the 70's, sometimes a just need a Tab soda, boo berry cereal, and a sky candy bar.

[@PaulJarvis-in7in]

My favorite cereal was Boo Berry. The only time I can find it now is around Halloween

[@lizlocher3612]

I wish someone else besides me would remember Butioni Toaster Pizzas. I used to eat one after school every day!! They were round n sealed all the way around n stuffed with fabulous tasting pizza ingredients that you put in the toaster. REALLY miss them STILL n wish they were available again!!!

[@deeblueyez]

I remember! Loved those!

[@chiaralistica]

I'm Italian and from NJ. That was the only pre-packaged Italian food we ate. We loved them omg. They do need to bring them back.

[@Jendromeda]

rancher's pride frozen hamburgers and those BUITONI TOASTER PIZZAS !! i would eat them after school too.....pop them in the toaster....when i got married i would buy the Danish go rounds....same thing...toaster food.

[@SNJPineyWoman]

Oh they were my favorite! There’s a group that’s been trying to get them back. The closest that tastes similar are the hot pocket 4 cheese

[@chiaralistica]

So if you all want to stage a protest, I'm down. I am in Florida though, so we will have to plan. It must be during the warmer months as I hate winter. But let's go, take a stand and demand the return of our toaster pizzas!

[@airtiki2374]

I loved space food sticks and Marathon was my fave candy, Wow I thought I was the only one who remembers Shake-a pudd'n

[@terrig7006]

🛸 I loved Spacefood Sticks when I was growing up!🚀 My Mom usually packed one in my lunch box every day. I had no idea they had made a comeback in recent years. If I'd seen them in any of the stores near me, I surely would have hopped into my own 🛸 to zoom to the nearest store and stock up on the astronauts favorite snacks! 👨‍🚀 I also remember Jello 123, Ding Dongs (although they would have been a forbidden treat in our house!) and, vaguely, remember shaking up instant pudding in a cup - yummy! 😊

[@sherrygardiner1587]

I love shake a pudding and keep wishing that it would come back. I still remember the smell like it was yesterday.

[@mbrow]

I remember some of these, especially Jello 1-2-3. So cool, and tasty too.

[@acampomft]

Space food sticks!!!! Marathon bars! Koogle! Love it!

[@Pamer21]

Born in 1964, I loved ALL of these! I was so happy to see my favorite Wacky Wafers included (alot of other vids don't)! Yep, my favorite followed very closely by Space Sticks. Gosh were they tasty! And Fortune Bubblegum had a very yummy and unique flavor. I've yet to find another gum that has that taste. Great video. Makes me wish I was a kid again. 🙂👏

[@quietone748]

Fellow 1964'er here, I look back on the snacks I used to eat and wonder these days what happened to all of them. They just kind of disappeared.

[@sjbutler2330]

Whip and chill, mug o lunch , bonomo Turkish taffee, Wax cigars filled with flavored juice, yellow wax harmonicas you could play and chew afterwards.

[@bflogal18]

Jello 123 was such a treat back then! But truthfully, it didn’t taste all that great. As a kid, I preferred regular jello with a can of fruit cocktail added. Also, do you remember Dream Whip? It was great on chocolate cake!

We have dream whip in our Canadian stores, everywhere!

I do miss the Marathon bars. In college, I worked in the snack food dept at the campus bookstore. I asked the candy rep why we didn't carry Marathons, and he told me they'd been discontinued because they were too big to fit in candy racks.
