Sorrell's Pickard Peanut Butter. It had vanilla and cinnamon it in. Made wonderful cookies.
Tenax hair gel. Like Alberto VO5 but better. It came in a dark green tube.
Starbucks coffee ice cream
Junket Danish Dessert (a fruit pudding)
Sunshine Raisin Biscuits (Vermont Country Store sells a British version called Garibaldi's that are made with currants and are very close to the original, but they are rather pricey.)
Dutch Apple Cookies. Had them all the time as a kid in the 60s/70s. They came in a bag. They were small, not soft (kind of crunchy), covered in cinnamon sugar. I think they had some sort of ground nuts in them.
On the subject of 60s/70s cookies. In the 1960s I spent a lot of time with my grandmother, and she always had these small packages of store bought cookies. I have no idea what they were called. But they were rectangle shape brown cookies. They were very soft as I recall for packaged cookies, and they had a smooth coating of white icing on top. They were my grandmother's cookies, and she didn't generally let me eat them, but when I could convince her to give me one, it was really yummy. Since I was about five years old at that time, so it was probably the white icing that I liked the best. When I was younger I always looked for those cookies on store shelves, but never saw anything that looked even similar. For a long time I really wanted to taste these cookies again.
When I was a kid in the 60s there was a paper thin chocolate cookie (don't recall the name or brand) that essentially tasted like the black part of an Oreo, but was paper thin. People used to make desserts with them using ice cream, whipped crème, etc. They were excellent but, have not seen them in 40 years.
Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers. I saw them not too long ago in a market near my home. (I'm in Pennsylvania)
I used to think that I would someday try the recipe on the package but never got around to it.
You can order them online but they don't seem to have them in the supermarket anymore. Which is curious of course, where are the ones online coming from?
WOW, thanks so much for the link! The Amazon link even provides a comment about the recipe for the cake my mom used to make. Don’t think I have had it since 1965 but will be making it!!!
Individual flavors of Life Savers. I hardly ever see them any more, and haven't seen butterscotch or even butter rum in (again) decades.
I'd like to find rolls of Lifesavers. They still sell them but not much in my area. I have to buy bags of individually wrapped ones and I have little wrappers all.over.the.place now. I think I've gotten them all, open my car window and 3 fly out from somewhere. Plus it's nearly impossible to unwrap one while driving, whereas you could easily pop one out of the roll into your mouth.
