Planters Cheese Balls...cannot find them anywhere!
Ooh. I forgot all about those. Those were the bomb. We would only be able to buy them when they were on sale lol which wasn't often. I wonder why they discontinued those. I always thought they were really popular.
Sorry to go off post, but I wanted to give thanks to everyone helping me look for Postum or a replacement drink for my Dad. I promise I am looking into every response and if it's out there, we'll find it and I'll get it. City-Data people are the best! Have a good day.
Vermont Country Store online sells a lot of old products that are not readily available. They don't sell Postum, but the sell a product they say is comparable.
I miss Kraft Nippy Cheese. It came in a roll in the dairy case and I used to make a good cheese dip with it... the one where you pull the center out of a round loaf of pumpernickle and use the bread chunks for dipping.
In the mid-late 60's there was a soft drink produced by Dr Pepper. It was called Pommac. I still remember the flavor with regret that it never became a big seller where I could still buy it.
In looking it up to see if it was anything I recalled or just dreamt (remember, it was in the 60's and a lot of other things were consumed then) I googled it.

Pommac, the Swedish soft drink brand, has been around for more than 80 years, but interest in the product shows no sign of flagging. In fact, this year the drink is likely to be top of many people's shopping list, according to the fashion magazine Wallpaper, which has included it in its annual list of favourite products.
Pommac dates back to 1919 and is manufactured to the original recipe and stored in oak barrels for three months before being bottled. Pommac is a truly Nordic brand, with the raw material for the drink manufactured and stored at the Swedish plant owned by Danish ingredients group Danisco, and the finished beverage produced at the Carlsberg brewery in Sweden and the Hartwall brewery in Finland.
It was the Swedish pharmacist Anders Lindahl who created the recipe for Pommac in 1919. The beverage was regarded as sophisticated because it contained more than 25 different flavours from fruits and berries. The name was inspired by the Champagne brand Pommery and by Cognac, which were accordingly combined to make Pommac.
Pommac differs from other carbonated drinks because of the fact that the raw material is stored in oak barrels for at least three months before the final beverage is made - another throwback to the fine wine and brandy which inspired the drink's name.
While widely known in the Nordic region, Pommac has a relatively small following outside the region, although joint venture with Dr Pepper in the 1960s means that there is still a large number of American consumers who remember the brand with fondness.

My kids eat Fruit roll ups all the time!
Are Fruit Roll Ups still around?? Wow! I miss them. I did love those.
I too miss the Taco Supreme Doritos (therapy food for me after a good cry or if I was really angry at something).
