well they aren't at the corner market but the dots and the chick o sticks I have seen around, most often in specialty places like actual cady stores.
Oh NO!!! I love them!
The 5 & 10 Store.....AKA the "Dime" Store
I loved Kraft's pimento cheese! It is still available, but not in as many places, I guess. http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/Products/ProductInfoDisplay.htm?SiteId=1&Product=2100061257 (Thanks crash, for the link).
I had almost forgotten the braunschweiger with the opening in the middle!

I don't know where you all are from, but I miss diners. I miss liver and onions with mashed potatoes and gravy, or turkey and dressing, or club sandwiches, or grilled cheese with tomato soup...or breakfast any time of the day. We have IHOP in my area, but it's just not the same.
How about a place that sells really good homefried potatoes?
Toni where are YOU from that you don't have these?? I see and still go to many of these types of "diners" Even in California where I lived up until a year ago still had plenty of these estabishments!
I liked the 1-2-3 desserts too!...1-2-3 layered "instant" dessert.
And those fizzy tablets you made "soda" from. Not very tasty, but fun.
Actually, if you're willing to pay the price, most if not all of these "disappeared" items (including "Quisp" cereal) are still available. Just do an internet search. Food Network did a program on just this topic not too long ago, & it was amazing how many of these items are still in production for the "specialty" market.
For me, I miss "Liederkranz Cheese", a close cousin to Limburger, the most.
Probably really "aging" myself here, does anyone remember the little candy "dots" that came affixed to the paper? They were all different colors, and whenever you ate one off the paper, a bit off the paper remained stuck to the underside of the candy! (Maybe the FDA got involved with that)
"Gold Rush" bubble gum? Gold gum "nuggets" in a little cloth sack with a drawstring
Chick-O-Stix
Russell-Stover "Fruit & Nut" Egg-Sold around Easter time, these were LARGE-you sliced them-about the diameter of a softball
And speaking of Easter, does anyone remember "Rubys" (or was it Rudys) Easter egg dye? It made the most beautiful easter eggs you've ever seen-I found some on ebay year before last, they wanted 20.00$ for the kit plus S&H !!!!
