Food From Your Childhood

This is the stuff that I miss. You're hard-pressed to find most of these anymore:

1. Crispy M&M's- Apparently they don't make them anymore...

2. 3D Doritos

3. Surge- (although if you want a similar flavor, melt down green ice pops)

4. Dunkaroos- These are still around just hard to find where I live.

5. Grape Big League Chew- Again, still around but hard to find.

Mcdonald's personal pizzas. They used to have those.

Fruit roll-ups, cheese puffs, "table talk" mini pies, Fruit by the foot, pudding pops, Lunchables, Nestle Quik, Animal Crackers, Candy cigarettes, and all of this crap.

Oh, and barbie cereal. Sadly, I never was able to get any Zelda/Mario cereal. ;[

Notice it's all complete junk.

Pretty sure my store sells the grape big league gum...

The green Vault soda apparently tastes enough like Surge, but that stuff was HOMG AWESOME when I was 15.

I haven't seen Dunkaroos in forever. I still remember the jingle though!

I think the only difference in my eating habits is that I liked milky chocolate when I was younger, and now I like dark chocolate

Zelda cereal, Real Ghostbusters cereal. Mr. T's cereal. >D

HiC Ecto Cooler. That stuff was deliciously green.

Surge was good. Vault tastes like soap every time I drink it.

Never liked dark chocolate, but I now like chocolate with almonds. Hated them as a kid.

@SBF: Never drank Vault, but I have to say it never smelled appealing when my friends drank it. WAAAY too sweet for me now.

Combos. Those were awesome.

For those unaware, Combos were little (as in, bite-size) cylindrical shaped pretzels with some kind of flavoured, cheese-like paste in the middle. I used to eat them a lot as a kid.

Then, a few months ago, I was at a store and found them again. I didn't even know they still made them. But I have to watch my spending for the next little while (damn responsibilities

), so I don't get them as often as I'd like.

Also, Dunkaroos. I can't be the only person that scooped up all the frosting on one cookie.

There's more, but I'll just leave it at those two for now.

I still eat Combos every now again. Pizza flavor is the best, IMO.

Oh, wait. Anyone here remember "Mondo?" Came in a six pack of plastic bottles with twist off plastic caps.

Heck yes I remember Mondo. It was like a Kool-Aid Twist wanna-be. And Pizza Combos are awesome. They cost too much for how long they last though.

Apparently you can still find Mondo. About seven years ago I found a pack in a dollar store in Kentucky- and last week I saw a six pack in my cousin's place.

What about Jolt cola? And I remember that huge surge in people eating War Heads.

Nope. You weren't!

I would make like the equivalent of a quinteple-stuffed oreo with those things!

Mondo was good, but I like Hugs better... you know those things that came in the little barrel-looking cups? Those were awesome.

Now when I was a poor kid growing up in the ghetto that is Fitchburg, MA, we didn't have much money to spare on sweets. So we made our own.

The thing we did all the time was make sugar toast.

You get a piece of toast, cover it in butter instantly so it melts and then sprinkle a bit of sugar on it. Freakin' awesome.

I used to do the same thing with toast, but would usually add some cinnamon, too. Cinnamon toast.
