I don't remember those at all. They do look delicious! I missed out on a very good thing.
I always loved and still do love Mallow Cups.....didn't miss out on those!
I remember saving up the cardboard that the cup sat on in the wrapper......but I can't remember what we saved them for. Free Mallow Cups maybe? I think they had a coin printed on them: one cent, five cents, ten cents.
You can get them here Home | Valomilk ... A couple of times a year I order stuff from back home (Buffalo) I can't get down here or is not readily available... Clark Bars, Skybars, Kits, etc ... and Webers Mustard from back home.
Thanks for bring up the Mallow cup cardboard... I forget too what we were supposed to do with them!

Thanks for the link. I put it in my favorite places. Maybe I will treat myself for my birthday.....to some old time, good candy.
This thread has got me thinking......about buying a whole bunch of old-time candy to give as small gifts to friends and family our age.....for X-mas or birthdays. I think it would be a hit!
I remember when we were kids we thought it was a real treat to get a TV dinner. LOL
Sometimes we got them on Mom's bowling night.
Yes me too
we usually had a tv dinner when our parents would leave for the evening
and I always had the opportunity to pick out what TV dinner I wanted
for some reason in my mind it was like a gourmet dinner
i thought the thing was so cool back then
in particular i loved the apples with the cinnamn desert
why? who knows! but in my mind it was GOURMET
in retrospect it was me just not knowing what a god meal really was at the time
We always thought tv dinners were a treat too. My mom always cooked from scratch and didn't work outside the home, but if she and my dad went out at night (rare) we could each pick a tv dinner.
Remember the three-compartment foil container? We thought they smelled sooooo good while they were baking in the oven.
My favorite was salisbury steak. I loved the mashed potatoes.
For an extra special treat, sometimes the babysitter would let us set up the tv tables and we could eat in front of the tv. TV dinners on tv tables in front of the tv.....we thought we were so cool!
Amazes me too just how much food packaging has changed
Take for example coffee cans
Now they are plastic tubs
Remember Cranberry juice used to be in glass jars along with countless other products including mayo and mwhip
even peanut butter
Paper towels are so skinny now days the rolls are only half the size they used to be.
TV dinners I dont even think they even make those anymore
Frozen pizza has evolved beyond anything of its former life
Jiffy pop popcorn - i dont even see that any more the kind where you had to put it on the stove burners
Remember when a snack size of potato chips was literally a snack size not 10 chips per bag
you had whole milk or skim milk no in betweens
no flavor for your coffee but just cream plain cream either in the dairy case or in a jar that was some form of powder
the meat counter actually had meat clerks who really cut the meat it was not cut in some warehouse in a different location but cut to order and packaged for you on the spot.
Ice cream was always in a rectangle box and an exotic flavor was moose tracks
the only water at the grocery store was distilled or the fountain in the back for patrons
a candy bar actually filled your chocolate needs you did not have to buy the king size mainly because the regular size was the king size
there was not a choice between paper and plastic it was all paper and the baggers used to haul your goods to your car even without asking it was service
remember too there was no scanner but just a belt and a tag that the clerk punched the price
times have changed oh my
those were just some of things i remember , see if anyone can add to the list
I remember when my hubby worked Fr and Sat nights for the L.A. Times (helped bring in money and I was a stay at home mom) my little girl loved the 25 cent chicken pot pies. She knew we couldn't have them when daddy was home for dinner cause he liked real homemade food. JIffy pop was so much fun and reg pop corn, in bags had to be popped: it usually burned but it was still fun.
Yep candy bars were a size that filled us up and satisfied us, plus it was real choc, now many bars are not real chocolate.
How about when cheese was real cheese and not a cheese product. I was floored the other day to learn Valveta in now a cheese product.

Remember when Cracker Jacks contained an actual toy prize inside? Now it is just a dumb fake tattoo.
