Forgotten Foods & Beverages

I think the thing that gets me is when companies change the recipes all together. The whopper used to be a good burger, now it's microwaved and tastes nothing like it did when I was a kid, it used to be flame broiled. & Dominos and the McDonald's quarter pounder was actually really good, now the companies exchanged the ingredients for cheaper recipes. Corporate bastards can fuck up some memories.

Well said, World. Pops' running joke with BK is when you stop in on Whopper Wednesday, just order the damn burger "without the sauce" because they then have to spend a few minutes preparing it and not just grabbing one of many from underneath a heat lamp. Even then ... the burgers sure don't taste anything like they did in the 80s or 90s ... and are usually lukewarm - miss the days of getting a Junior Whopper for cheap. Hot and tasty. Could knock back 3 of them easy.

E.T. Cereal. The best fuckin cereal ever. Had been hoping for years and years that this particular cereal would be brought back.

What is this???

This is what I think about when I think of Purple Passion

Purple Passion was a real popular Grape soda in the early 70s. I think it was only available in New York, New Jersey and surrounding areas. The groovy can made it the Grape soda to have in those days. I drank tons of that shit back then.

Nehi Grape soda came close.
But like I said,
It was all about the can's graphics.

I remember the ET cereal and the Mr T cereal. I remember the Strawberry Shortcake cereal too. The 80s made some of the best commercials. I mean the 50, 60, 70, 90, 2000 commercials were good but just something about the 1980s. I guess because I grew up partially in the 1980s.

every once in a while a cousin would ask me to see if I could find some - but Planters stopped making it years ago

Burger king has always microwaved their burgers....it goes through the broiler and sits in a steamer....when a customer orders one they take it out the steamer and toss it in the micro for about 15 seconds.

Figurines Diet Bars, introduced by Pillsbury in 1972, were the Slim-Fast bars of the 1970s and '80s.


Tab, stylized as TaB, is a diet cola soft drink produced by the Coca-Cola Company, first introduced in 1963,[1] and was created by Coca-Cola after the successful sales and marketing of Diet Rite cola, owned by The Royal Crown Company;[2] previously, Diet Rite had been the only sugarless soda on the market. Tab was "marketed to consumers who want to keep 'tabs' on their weight

It has this upgraded 50s diner near me and the other day their special was salmon tv dinner and I just HAD to do it. It was SOOO cute! They had special metal dish with all the compartments and it had salmon, mash potato, peas and a brownie It was just like a swansons except 3 star food.

 

[smoovejazz]

Brings back a few memories...

They still make that Goober stuff...I don't like it because the peanut butter in it is sub-par...I do remember this chocolate peanut butter called Koogle - now that was the shit! Jif used to make a chocolate peanut butter too, until a few years ago...I miss that...

I feel ya on the Burger King burgers...they don't taste as "flame-broiled" as they used to...and Domino's? Their regular pizzas don't even use all mozzarella cheese anymore - they added cheddar and American cheese! I only fucks with their Artisan pizzas now...

Zima was nasty - it didn't taste like Smirnoff Ice...that said, Smirnoff Ice changed their flavor, now it doesn't taste as good...

They still make Tang, but for a while, they only made it with half sugar, and half Splenda! Now, I think they have a full-sugar Tang...that was the shit back in the day for drinking straight, and making freezer pops!

Swanson's TV dinners used to be good...their fried chicken was the shit! I also missed those Banquet Boil-in-the-bag entrees - we used to eat the Salisbury Steak and the Chicken-a-la-King ones with bread - that was dinner right there! When my mom didn't feel like cooking dinner, either Swanson's TV dinners or Banquet's Boil-in-bags, and

They still do make Tab...I saw it in the store the other day...My dad was diabetic, and he used to drink Tab with milk... I tried that shit once, and it was nasty!

On the Kellogg's tip, I was mad when they stopped making frosted grape and Chocolate vanilla-cream Pop-Tarts...they also used to make this toaster pastry that was similar to Pop-Tarts called Danish Go-Rounds - I could eat a box of those in one sitting when I was little...They also used to make a cereal called Coco Hoots (it was sort of like a chocolate Cheereos with icing)...I could eat a whole box at one time...I'm surprised I wasn't fat back then!

Marathon bars where my shit! I also liked the original Mars Almond Bar in the brown and yellow wrapper - NOT the more recent one which was smaller, with different packaging...

...Lastly, NOBODY fucked with Freshen-Up gum in my neighborhood...we called that shit "cum-gum", so nobody was fucking with that!

...oh, I forgot...no homo...(Thanks, Roy)...

 

[Ryokurin]

Why they stopped making these I will never know!

People stopped buying them when one plant sabotaged a box during a strike. It's kind of similar to how Bubble Yum took a big hit for years when there was that urban myth that there were spider eggs in it.

Word. To get a fresh one just ask for one "off the broiler"

 

[MadWun]

My pops used to kill those Red Dog beers. Surge, Sprite Remix & Pepsi Blue were good as hell. Taco Bell Doritos & Pizza Hut Doritos were my shit too.

I killed a lot of Surge when I was in college

 

[ShortyCumStain]

man when i was little i used to fuck with Goober. not the strawberry shit, but they had grape jelly and peanut butter. that shit was crack to me.

Man, I fucked w/it when it was in da house but like I said, I like my pb&j separated. And what is it about puttin' chips (mainly plain lays or ruffles) on a sandwich that makes it taste so perfect???

They still make Tahitian Treat.

They started selling them again last year. $1.29 however.

 

[stizz3000]

I dunno what they put in this shit...but it rivaled real apple juice

then it just disappeared

 

[kes1111]

Surge was a variation of a Norwegian citrus soft drink called Urge. Surge, like Urge, was produced by the Coca-Cola Company to compete with Pepsi's Mountain Dew. Surge had a more "hardcore" edge much like Mountain Dew's advertising at this time, in an attempt to further take customers away from Pepsi.


Hershey's Bar None was a chocolate bar created by The Hershey Company and released in 1986. It went nationwide in September 1987 after testing in California. The original formula consisted of a cocoa wafer, chocolate filling, peanuts and a milk chocolate coating. In 1992, the product was reformulated into two wafers with chocolate coating, peanuts, and caramel. It was discontinued in 1997 with little fanfare, but is still sold in Mexico. The initial advertising slogan said that the Bar None bar could "tame the chocolate beasty."

I never knew Burger King no long flame broiled its burgers. Guess that gives me even less reason to go in there to buy something.

 

[stickmanX]

naw we didnt eat any of that shit in my house as a kid my parents are african we ate fresh meats, fish, healthy grains and vegetables.

 

[max-dawg]

the strawberry & the vanilla.

these shits are the reason why i don't have a sweet tooth today.

Surely you remember Cinn*A*Burst!The legendary gum was Warner-Lambert’s attempt to do battle with Wrigley’s Big Red.Cinn*A*Burst was infused with “flavor crystals,” giving it a boost of candied spice and an oddly pleasant crunch.



Slice is a line of fruit-flavored soft drinks manufactured by PepsiCo and introduced in 1984.


Cookies-n-Creme Twix (1990), cookies and cream filling in place of the Caramel. The bar wrapper contained a maroon (or dark red) 'Twix' logo. Released at the same time (only in the US) as Chocolate Fudge Twix. Advertisements appeared in magazines with them both together during 1990.
