How about the bubble gum albums in the late 70's or early 80'2? They had grooves and everything just like an album, but it was bubble gum and it came in a small cardboard case, just like an album cover. I think they were either a little pricey or weren't around long - The one & only I remember I had was, The Knack "My Sharona".

For Cali and Dee....the pudding you're talking about Cali was called "Spoon Candy". It was the best! The 1-2-3 that Dee is talking about was called "Jello 1-2-3" and had 3 layers of jello. The first layer (bottom) looked like regular jello, then the second layer was a bit lighter (don't remember what was added to that layer) and the third layer was even lighter. The spoon candy was a mousse like pudding and the chocolate that you pour on top hardened. Just like what we know today as "Magic Shell". I miss "Spoon Candy"!

FOOD STICKS!! Yes, I remember them as part of the Carnation breakfast line. THere were breakfast bars, instant breakfast and food sticks. They were the first to go then breakfast bars and now only instant breakfast still sees shelf space. I remember them as sort of pasty, gritty sort of tootsie rollesque.

About the drink pouches that AmyT was asking about, it might be a product i remember from the early 70s called "Super Sip"?? Several clear bags of juice came packaged in a dark blue cardboard box. I think the little pointed straws were glued to the sides of the pouches so you had to be careful when you pulled them off before you jabbed the pouch with them. I think they came into different flavors, like grape, fruit punch, and orange-pineapple. Hope that helps.

During the late 70s and early 80s, my grandmother used to serve us kids cheese doodles, but not any cheese doodle, nope, these were hollow, more the size of a thumb than a pinky finger, and slightly squished in appearance. They were much 'softer' to the touch, to the tongue and on the palate. They kinda melted in your mouth to a degree, and didn't yellow the fingers half as much! I loved those, the last bag I bought was around 1986-7, never saw them again, anywhere... :(

* I'm trying to remember the name of the chewing gum that was marketed to kids in the early 1970s, whose gimmick was: "IT TASTES LIKE ICE CREAM!" And @ "nerfy" - yeah, I occasionally find myself wondering about "Chipos" myself... I'd liked the "gimmick" (sold in "boxes" instead of bags, with the cartoon of the "cook" on the back of the package working an processing line where the chips were being "flash fried" with "lightning bolts"), but even more surprising I'd liked those funky chips themselves, which were truly horrid, but perhaps the "newness" and quirkiness is more of what got me hooked.

YES! YES! YES! Pat from Philly wrote a comment on 6/14/2010 about the orange/lemon fruit drink named "BLEND". I too am from Philly and have been searching the net and the stores. I even drove to the store we use to get it from--Acme Market at Sedgewick St. and Germantown Ave. On a hot summer day there was nothing like ice cold BLEND. Would LOVE to find it. If anyone knows where to get it let know at tweetybirds@comcast.net

I love this message board. Does anyone remember chicken salad in a can? This was mid 70s/ early 80s. It was sold in the grocery store by the deviled ham, and it sounds so gross but I loved it. There was chicken or tuna salad in a silver can with a pull off lid. We ate it at picnics. Thanks so much.

I think it was a tiger lol! I miss the carnation breakfast squares the most and wish they would bring them back! They had choc, peanutbutter, and a cinnamon vanilla type flavor! Each had a real thin layer of icing on top and I can still remember exactly how they taste!once I signed a petition to bring them back! I have never been close to finding a breakfast square with the texture or taste of the breakfast squares. Everything I see is loaded with knoby crunchy hard crap! Why won't anyone make a smooth textured protein breakfast bar again! I also loved space sticks,fizzies that you dropped in water and it made a drink.I loved shake a pudding too!there were these yummy tart apple pop tarts with white squiggly icing in 3 rows on top of the pop tarts, and they were so fresh tasting.I can't remember who made them.they were like tart apple but without the cinnamon.

Several people have mentioned the frosted animal shaped cookies of the '70s into at least the early '80s. I'd swear they were a 'baby' cookie made by Gerber. I recall the red/white box, and the YELLOW (not pink) frosting. They were delicious. Don't recall seeing them on store shelves past the mid '80s. It's odd, though, I can't find ANYthing about them via the internet...which is odd if indeed they were a Gerber product. Then again, I remember thin mint Girl Scout cookies being YELLOW on the inside long before the dark colored breading they use now.

On the Chicago scene. The Libby Land Sundown Supper (double hamburger) TV dinner commercial. Mean Gene hits Libby the Kid's balloon with paper airplanes. In November, 1973, this aired during "Ozzie's Girls" on WMAQ, Channel 5. In this 24-episode sitcom, Ozzie and Harriet Nelson take in two college girls as boarders (renting David and Rick's old room). One, a neat-freak black girl (Brenda Sykes). The other, a hippie-like, free spirited white girl (Susan Sennett). They become good friends despite personality differences. David Nelson assisted with production in this syndicated, pleasant show that none of the networks wanted (another example was "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home" cartoon). Ozzie died a year after show ended production.
