What are some foods you loved that they don't make anymore?

[mudbug]

Alix, I used to be an expert on kids (oldest of 10) until I had one.

hey that green ketchup was good. looked gross but tasted like regular red ketchup

 

[crewsk]

Yeah it did, but my kids wouldn't touch it! I was shocked because I figured my son would have loved it!

 

[luvs]

oh, well, crewsk.
alix, some people DO have major control over thier kids. one family i know has 4 kids, one of whom is now in college, who have been completely vegan since they were born.
and my good friend has a kiddo who has yet to have tasted non-vegetarian food.
i know that when i was growing up, my parents set rules, and i followed them, and that was just the way it was. my parents controlled me, i didn't control them. not after i turned 3, anyhow.

luvs, I caught the reference the second time thanks though. Also, allowing your kids to make their own decisions about food does not imply they are out of control. Parenting is a very touchy area for folks and we all have different ideas of what is right. I think whatever works for you and your kids is great. I am not trying to tell you I am right, just trying for a little humour here...sorry if that didn't translate

parents do all have different ways of doing things, huh? oops! to each, his own.
yeah, my parents were strict in some aspects, but if i wanted to try something gross food-wise they let me. i still had to eat my dinner, though.

I remember...

Candy Cigarettes

Bits O'Honey

Pop Rocks (candy that fizzed and popped in your mouth)

Fresca and Tab and Fanta

they still make all of these, at least where i live.

What about Jolt Cola?

I do not like to appear stupid, but what is Jolt Cola? Never heard of it.

Jolt Cola, "All the sugar and twice the caffiene of regular colas!!"

My dad tried a Jolt Cola when they first came out. He thought he was going to have a heart attack!

Thanks Alix. I am getting so enlightened here today. And they say you cannot teach old horses new tricks. OH again I feel stupid, is Jolt currently on the market? I guess because I do not usually drink carbonated beverages I am out of the loop. If I do, it is always
Coke. I guess it is similar to a double espresso without the sugar??

I do still see Jolt every once in a while. I am pretty sure that Mountain Dew actually has more sugar than Jolt.
