Does anyone remember Shake-A-Puddin, as a kid I thought it was the coolest thing, it might have been the first instant pudding on the market. It came with a plastic cup that resembled the thing you mix martini's in.

Fizzies. it was a tablet you added to water to make instant soda...you had to drink it fast or it went flat.

Anyone else remember some?

PDQ drink mix- it tasted like eggnogg when you added it to milk, but I used to eat the crystals by the spoonful.

Great Shakes milkshakes -- it came with a plastic cup, lid, and packets of mix. Pour milk and mix into the cup, cover, and shake.

Not quite the same, but no blender to clean. The chocolate malt flavor was yummy. Of course, I was 7, so what did I know?

My mom always talks about something called 'soft swirl' that they had back in the early 70s, but I can't remember it for the life of me. She said she really liked it and they discontinued it.

I also remember at the liquor stores when I was a little girl, they had these single-serving wrapped chocolate cubes called "ice cubes" and they were sooo smooth and yummy.

I miss the old days of Carl's Jr., when they had crinkle-cut fries and crispburritos (best burrito I ever had - but more like a chimichanga). I think they stopped doing the California Roast Beef sandwich too.
