NO, you are NOT a dork, you are the coolest! I take it the petition didn't go far though?
Aw. Thanks for the compliment. The petition didn't go every far at all although there were quite a few signatures. When I sent it to Frito-Lay all I got back was the standard thank you form letter. Oh well, I just don't buy their products anymore. Thankfully I am not a big chip fan anymore and when I do want them I tend to go for Sun Chips.

I miss... Sara Lee walnut cake, banana cake and frosted brownies. Especially their walnut cake! It's still available through their wholesale restaurant division, but I'd have to buy SIX cakes at a time and that would overwhelm my freezer. Also when I was a kid, there were these neat frozen toaster pizzas that were the size and shape of English muffins.
- Weaver's chicken croquettes
- "Real" chocolate Italian Ices (scooped from tubs into ruffled paper cups)
- Frozen bags of waffle-shaped pasta and peas in cream sauce
- Entenmann's white cake w/ walnut frosting
- Seltzer in the big, heavy glass bottles with the sprayer on top that the soda man delivered to the house
- Bottled milk, delivered by the milkman
- My mother's stuffed cabbage
sloppy joes.
And about the stuffed cabbage -- my mom used to make 'pigs in a blanket' which was hamburger and rice and stuff rolled up in cabbage leaves -- those were pretty darned good too!
Pop with real sugar in it instead of high fructose corn syrup.
Milk Shake candy bars. Yummy.
BeechNut fruit stripe gum. Not that I chew gum anymore, but I just liked to sniff the stuff through the wrapper (now that's dorky! LOL)
Second -- or is it third -- vote for taco-flavored Doritos.
Clark bars (they're still around, but not the same) and Clark peanut butter kisses
Pizza Spins!
And my grandmother's date nut bars. When I was in college, she'd send a batch of date nut bars and a dozen or so Clark bars. I was the most popular girl in the dorm.
You can still buy the fruit stripes gum. CVS has them and I totally feel you on loving the smell. The gum always tasted nasty and didn't last long but the smell was heavenly.
Probably a lot of foods from back in the day that I don't cook anymore now that I know what the ingredients are!
For instance, I asked a Mexican friend for her recipe on the chocolate cake on the bottom and flan on top .. so yummy!
.. but after hearing about a can of condensed, sweeted milk for one section, and another for the other section, and this kind of sugar for that, then some sweetened chocolate .. and ..
.. kind of turns you off from making it. I should have just kept my mouth shut and kept eating the cake!
