7-up Gold

I don't know if it was a regional test or if it ever came out all over, but in the late 80's I used to be able to buy it. It had kinda a spiced flavor.

 

Whip & Chill kind of a whipped Jello/whipped cream concoction, available in the late 60's.

Hormel Ham Patties in the can. Made from scrap ham, similar to Spam but much better. I survived on these things early 70's thru mid 90's.

I have found doing a simple Google (or your choice of engines) search for many of the old candies that they CAN be found. I sell candy/snack foods and we carry some of the old stand-bys, such as Chic-O-Sticks, Peanut Butter Bars, etc.

Some of the candy companies will bring back the oldies on a limited time basis. Recently old brands of gum have been reintroduced, such as Beamens (sp).

 

Anybody remember those bubble gum cigarettes that had the powder in the middle so that when you blow on them it looks like smoke? They were cool but they tasted like crap.
Speaking of gum, my Grandad always had some Beeman's gum around his house. I also remember Fruit Stripe gum with the Zebra in the commercials.
I remember my sister pulling a filling out with a Marathon candy bar, she never would eat them after that.

 

How many remember the tootsie pop commercial with the owl and turtle?

 

i seen that tv add just the other day! how about pepsi free dont see that any more either

 

Sizzlean Bacon, Smurf Berry cereal, and the original flavor Tostitos...anybody remember them? I liked that Holiday Spice Pepsi they had in '05, I thought it was pretty good.

 

They just call it "Caffeine Free Pepsi" now, I remember the old name...my Mom still calls it that

Remember Crystal Clear Pepsi?

 

big red soda

 

Bubbs Daddy Gum

 

Teaberry Gum (However, a while back, someone posted that it is still available, online.)

Pomac (pronounced "Poh-Mack") soft drink or 'soda'. It was made using white grapes and looked like champagne (coloring). If memory serves me, it was bottled by Dr. Pepper. (We used to get this in East Tennessee in the mid/late '60s!)
This was a goooooooooooooood soft drink!

 

cjben... Big Red is still around...at least in Texas.

I always liked Pepsi Clear, and Pepsi Blue.

I couldnt stand that Orbitz stuff...The drink with the little jelly ***** floating in it. Just the other day, I was trying to remember what that stuff was called, and now I know.

 

We still have that here too...Because in Greeneville Tn, it's always 1960.

I need to start taking orders...Candy Cigs, Teaberry gum, moon pies...

Well, Tim. . .
I used to live in Greeneville, Tennessee!!!!!!!
Crockett Lane. Right behind Eastview Elementary School.

I don't remember the street, but, in Greeneville, there used to be a 'Blue Circle' hamburger joint that we get some of the BEST burgers in the world!

In the '60s, I remember my folks buying hamburgers for 2 cents and a Coke for a penny.

 

It's closed now, has been for a long time, but I've heard a lot of people talk about it...that and the Big Top, remember that one, Supposedly two of the best hamburger joints around...
