Oh my gosh, what a blast from the past!

Veal drumsticks! I remember those.
Appian Way Pizza, yep, that is what I thought real pizza was, little did I know lol.

What about Teaberry gum, sen-sens, Zero bars, candy cigarettes, gum cigarettes with the powder in them so if you blew out it looked like smoke lol, boxed Chef Boyardee spaghetti, cinnamon toothpicks, or giant sweet tarts!

Wow you all have come up with some good ones I have not seen in years, I did see one store here that sold the candy cigarettes still but not the old bubble gum cigars they used to make.
I remembered a few more:

Golden age soda

It was either Castleberry's or Sweet Sue brand chicken newburg

The chicken pot pies when they had meat and vegetables in them.

Good Humor ice cream bars

Chick-o-sticks loved those things

Canned Brown Bread

I think Maine must be a time machine... many of the things I see listed here are at my local market.

Gravy Quik instant gravy mixes. They were a staple in my Mom's kitchen when I was growing up. Perhaps they were the first convenience gravy mixes. Mom would combined the juices from a chicken, turkey or roast with GQ to make a big pot of gravy.

I didn't realize they were vegetarian, from Loma Linda one of the two big vegetarian food companies of the time along with Worthington. A couple of years ago GQ disappeared from store shelves. I investigated and found that Kelloggs had acquired Loma Linda and Worthington and had discontinued Gravy Quik.

You would combine the gravy packet's ingredients (mostly wheat based) with two cups cold water, perhaps a bit of oil, and bring to a boil, the result being a rich flavorful gravy. As I remember there was brown, mushroom (brown with dried mushrooms), a "chicken" which was yellow/beige, "country" which was thick white, and onion which was thick white with onions.

Mom used to combine one brown and one "chicken" (I forget what it was called) with turkey drippings to make bounteous gravy for the traditional thanksgiving meal. I added a small can of sliced button mushrooms to a slightly water reduced brown gravy mix to make a heavenly topping for swiss cheese / mushroom burger melt. The country or onion gravy made a wonderful topping for biscuits and gravy.

I wish I had a mushroom melt right now
