Bosco. It was a chocolate syrup like no other. I'd love to get my hands on some.

Creamsicles!!!!! Not Dreamsicles. (Ice cream vs. ice milk)

Big Boogie candy. I swear I'm the only person on the planet that remembers these. Like an over sized Bit 'O Honey (another fav!!), with peanuts in it. They came out with strawberry. Man those were good.

Beemans, Black Jack, Clove: Really good chewing gum.

I think I remember the Big Boogie. Did it come in a long, dark, wrapping? white and kind of sticky? What I'm thinking of may have been Big Hunk.

From my high school days in the 70's, I miss Sara Lee brownies, banana cake and walnut cakes in the freezer section of the grocery store. Also these really yummy toaster pizzas the size and shape of english muffins. Blueberry pop tarts tasted better back then.

Does anyone remember Appian Way pizza? It was from the 1960's and we had never had pizza. The mix came in a box and we thought it was great...until eventually we found out what pizza was supposed to taste like.
Also, I think that animal crackers and pretzels tasted SOO much better then than they do now.

I think they still sell Beemans~ How about that gum that tastes like lavendar? I can't remember the brand but I just bought some a couple weeks ago and it was awesome!
