Just add water. It came with a small cake pan, and a packet of frosting. It was the best tasting chocolate cake I ever tried.

Potato chips that came in a shiny orange bag. These chips where really crunchy and puffy and had a one-of-a-kind taste. They had a "deep fried" look and taste.

A & W liquid center bubble gum; root beer flavor.

White taffy outside, with peanut butter in the center

A powdered shake mix that you mixed with ice in the blender.

Made by the same company as Lemonheads, Redhots, and Boston Baked Beans. Small, purple, grape-flavored candies. Very tart! They were my favorite, but I haven't seen them in years.

One of the first brands of soft cookies. They came in a bag that was supposd to look like an embroidered sampler. The best kind were the peanut butter with the chocolate on top. The commercials were based on the idea that they were supposed to taste almost homemade.

Was probably mad by Nestle...it was a white chocolate bar - shaped just like a Nestle Crunch-with tiny pieces of almonds or whatever nuts they were. I think they were sold until the late 80s.

Gummi Bears. The commercials had these bears dancing.

Macaroni and cheeze mix like shell pasta. White cheddar cheeze and organic. Bunny on the box named Bernie.

Just like the original frosted mini-wheats. Only instead of the traditional white frosting, they had a bright green apple flavored frosting. Circa early to mid 80's. Very tasty!

It was Apple flavored kool-aid it came out in the early 80's I liked the flavor, imitation apple almost like apple Jolly Rancher, but it was not popular, it was gone probably by the mid eighties.

Slice cola, in apple flavor. Kind of like carbonated apple juice. I loved it!

This came out sometime in the 80's. It was an apple flavored soda and it was great !

4-inch, 3-colored, conical hard candy on a stick. Something like a small jousting lance. Sticky and will pull out your fillings if you bite down on it. May still be around today, I don't know.

School milk that came in little plastic bags, you had to press down on one end and pop a straw in. You can imagine the "accidents" that happened with that.

Freeze dried ice cream that can still be bought at a few different places to this day

A small "jawbreaker" type candy that was very hot. The outter layer was hard and spicy but the inner layer was soft and sweet. These were popluar around the late 80's.

I think it came to America in '83 or early '84. It was a milk chocolate koala bear candy bar filled with caramel. I am not sure how long it was around before it came to America but they advertised it like it was a popular snack in Australia and now "You can get Aussie Bars right here"! That could have just been an advertising kind of stunt. Another commercial had kids singig "Aussie Bear....Aussie Bear..." I am not sure when they were no longer available but they were quite tasty.

I think aussie bears are the same thing as Caramello Koalas. They are on the website for Cadbury Australia, www.cadbury.com.au They can be found under 'choose a product', then 'kids confectionary'

It was chocolate milk flavoring in pressurized can. There was a picture of a soda jerk on the can. The can would be turned upside down, the top of the can pressed against the top of the glass. Pressing down on the can released a high pressure stream of chocolate syrup into the milk. The high pressure made it unnecessary to stir the milk.

Burger King had more than one grilled chicken sandwich in the late '80s, they had 3! The only difference between them was the toppings and cheeses. I think Burger King still sells one of them, its about the only thing left at Burger King that isn't deep-fried.

I Believe This Is From The 80's..they Were Disc Shaped Sweet Tarts That Came In Yellow,green,red,and Were Sold In The Vending Machines In Grocery Type Stores..yum..can Still Find Them Occasionally

It was a stick of taffy that when chewed (and chewed) turned into bubble gum.

Also called "Banana Flip". A flat golden cake with icing on top, then folded over. It was a very popular item in my work place's vending machines in the 80's.

Frosted flakes but had a banana flavored coating to it. Came in a yellow box with Tony the Tiger.

it was an ice cream pop/bar on a stick like a popsicle. Covered in a chocolate shell with vanilla ice cream, over strawberry ice cream, over banana ice cream. It came in a silver wrapper with a picture of perhaps a girl or something on the front of it and was sold for $0.25 to $0.50 a popsicle at corner stores all over Monroe LA in the 1980s

A Bubbalicious invention (I'm pretty sure - I get Bubbalicious and Bubble Yum mixed up). Came out in 85 or 86. Part of a new line of '2-in-one' flavors put out by the company. Hot pink strawberry-flavored gum wrapped around a bright yellow square of banana-flavored gum. It was delicious - super sweet! - and looked great in the palm of your hand (unchewed, that is).

It was either a piece of sliced turkey or beef in a bag with gravy and you would boil it. It was around in the early to mid 80's. I'll never forget them!!

This is a candy bar that may have come out before the 80's. It consisted of layers of chocolate wafers, sandwiched with a chocolate filling with bits of nut mixed in, all covered by chocolate. These came 2 in a package, like Twix bars.

Barbq Sauce was used instead of tomato sauce and then covered with cheese and any topics desired. My favorite pizza ever.

Animal shaped cracker/cookies that came in a box looking like a circus cart with animals in it...had the string to carry it with.

Similar to California Coolers but I think they were the first to come up with flavors. Plus, the commercials with those two guys were classic.

These were wine coolers, maybe the first, or maybe it was Seagrams Golden wine coolers (with Bruce Willis) in their ads. They were very popular with high school students. You could get pretty drunk on 2 or 3! They were very sweet, in berry flavors.

Bassets Sherbet Fountain was in a soft yellow cylindrical package with black and red lettering on it. You would tear a corner to reveal a piece of licorice to use as a straw to eat the sour dextrose. It was similar to lic a maid but more tart. It is still available in UK https://www.wisechoiceuk.com/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=5051

When the movie came out in 1989, they brought a cereal with it. It was alright if you were one of those Saturday morning get up and watch cartoon like people that I was then. Had a deep honey flavor and shaped like small bats.

Used mostly for soft-serve ice cream or frozen yogurt. But these oversized, sugar-filled cones were even more fattening than the stuff inside it.

Bazooka made a gum in the 80's that was in a tube like a toothpaste tube. Messy stuff, and very, very soft till it was chewed for a while.

This cute little square bubblegum came with a small little comic for people to read.

Baked beans with hot-dog chunks. Tasted pretty good until that one summer that was all that you had to eat.

These were little hard candies shaped like bugs. They came in little plastic beds. I remember keeping the beds and using them in my Fisher Price dollhouse.

Not sure when this came out, but it was a flat tortilla with refried beans, beef, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and black olives. It disappeared around 88-89.

Beeman's Gum was re-introduced by Warner-Lambert in 1986. I remember Beeman's unique licorice-like flavor and the attractive females with popular Bealtes songs featured in the television commercials. Adams introduced Beeman's Gum in late 1890's and became popular throughout the 1950's. Warner-Lambert bought the Adam's Gum company and discontinued the gum in the mid 1970's until it's re-appearence in the 80's through WL's "Nostalgia Gum Program".

Orange Drink once available in Canada, about 1% real juice, probably just like Sunny Delight, awful stuff.

Taco Bell - Bell Beefers. Taco filling (ground beef, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce) on a hamburger bun! Loved those things. BRING BACK THE BELL BEEFER!

Sort of a taco hamburger at Taco Bell. They used ground beef instead of an actual hamburger patty. It was on a hamburger bun with shredded cheese, lettuce, etc. They were great. From Early 80's to mid to late 80's.

This expensive ice cream was first introduced in the 1980's. They still sell it at grocery stores in those pint size cups.

Inclusive cake mix made by BETTY CROCKER in the 80's. Unfortunately is no longer in production. Came in a few flavors. Yellow Cake with Chocolate frosting and others, but my favorite was the Lemon Cake with Lemon Frosting. The cake mix, frosting and foil lined cardboard baking pan were all included in the box. All you did was add water to the mix and bake. Once the cake cooled, you opend the packet of frosting and whoala. One of the best things I ever ate or made, as a kid.

A hard piece of candy with the tiniest bit of gum on the inside.That had a great taste but kept you wanting more to chew.

A foot long stick of gum in various flavors similar to Bub's Daddy, except it was flat.

A big purple foot shaped ice cream that had a gumball in the big toe. They didn't taste great - probably from all the dye! Usually could only get them from Dickie Dee...

White taffy candy chock full of peanuts. Kind of breaks when you bite into it. Not really chewy. Also, not to be confused with Abba Zabba.

Shredded bubble gum that was supossed to be like chewing tobacco. It was very sweet and also messy.

I loved these!! They were chocolate flavored retangular shaped blocks. They came in packs like Big League Chew. They were supposed to look like a chewing tobacco plug. The flavor was a lot like Tootsie Rolls.

Big Mouth's were a HUGE jaw breaker on a stick. In the middle there was gum. I think you either had to break it or suck on it for days to get to the gum and every layer was a different color.

An ice cream sandwich with chocolate-dipped oatmeal cookies on the top and bottom and vanilla ice cream in the middle! Delicious!

Soda Pop that taste like Bubble Gum......I would get it once a week in the 80's.

Thick ice-cream sandwich, similar to ChipWich, sold at 7-Elevens. The chocolate cookie / chocolate ice-cream one was "sinfully rich". Discontinued, I think.

It was a hard square candy much like Now & Laters, but thinner. They came in flavors such as chocolate, banana, cherry and grape.

Almond bits blended into a honey flavored taffy. Sound good? It was.

Standard lollipops with a wad of bubblegum in the center. It came in flavors like cherry and sour apple and were distributed by Charms.

It was an ice cream treat. It was simply berry flavoured blue ice cream, with a blue shell (like a cone dipped in chocolate) around the ice cream. Damned tasty. Don't know if it was anywhere other than Canada.

The best cream soda in the world. I used it find it on trips to Florida at Circle K's. It was the most beautiful shade of blue and the creamiest soda! I loved it!!! They must have stopped making it. I've looked for years.

Early 80's ('82-'83)A carbonated BLUE soda that I guess tasted like blue raspberry. My friends and I would drink it on the beach in the summer and eat Suzie Qs and Doritos! Remember those days when we didn't have to worry so much about what we ate and drank?!

The makers claimed there was no dye. They looked like regular Dorito's that sat in the oven too long.

The best bubble gum flavor ever invented! This delicious gum came out around 84 or 85, I believe, and was a dark blue color. Yum! Wish they still made it ...

Bright Orange Chew/Suck Type Thing. Red Wrapper. Banned in our School in Cornwall. Made by Bluebird I think.

It was a fruit drink that came in a taller box, and instead of poking a straw through, you peeled back a piece of foil. It was a very good drink.

Ice cream confection on a stick. Chocolate outer shell and banana and cherry ice cream in the middle...delicious...possibly the best ever made...used to get them when i lived in queens in the early eighties...

Bon-Bons were little dollops of ice cream covered in chocolate. You could even get them at the movies at one point.

Bonkers had a center flavor and another flavor layer around them. I remember going to the mall and seeing the Bonker-Mobile- basically a large van with two rooms, with padded walls colored and shaped like fruit. Kids would slam their bodies around on the walls and floor, somewhat like a Mr. Bouncity Bounce. I remember being very upset when mom said it was time to finally leave the mall and the beloved bonker-mobile.

It was flat and you would slam it on the sidewalk to break it, flavors were....banana, strawberry, vanilla, chocolate

These chips were awesome. They are still being made today. They come in a variety of flavors. To name a few: Plain, Salt and vinegar, and most popular in the 80's Barbeque.

This was a "wine" that had to be made for teenagers and college students. It was and is still a pink, sweet "wine". Much sweeter than real wine, even white zinfandel. Especially good drunk ice cold , out of the bottle.

Sort of a granola-type bar with a peanut butter tunnel in the middle.

Everyones loves the cute little bear's chocolate syrup, but it also came in strawberry (hard to find) and blue berry (harder to find).

Chewy orange candies wrapped in edible rice paper. My mother used to buy these at the Oriental food stores.

This Willy Wonka candy came in rolls like sweet tarts and had the consistency of sweet tarts yet they came in soda pop flavors like cola, root beer, grape, orange, etc.

Bounty bars were basically the same thing as Mounds and Almond Joy candy bars, but had better packaging. They were around in the late 80's I believe.

These cheesy chips were round and tasted similar to Doritos. They came in a red bag and I think had a sombrero on the cover.

These may have existed before the 80's but I don't remember seeing them in restaurants til then. Basically a tortilla stuff with scrambled eggs, onions, cheese, and peppers. Salsa or other sauces may be included.

"S" shaped pastry to be eaten in the morning. The commercial had a woman getting caught by her husband eating one for a midnight snack.

Similar to Yoo-Hoo but not quite as diluted. Came in a brown can featuring a cow, served ICE cold. A favorite from the vending machine at the rec center. Spanned many community-pool-going years...

Bub's Daddy Bubble Gum was packaged in peel away plastic protection. It was one piece of gum about 12" to 15" long and about 1/2" round. Came in multiple flavors, but I best remember watermellon.

Extremely soft and flavorful square hunk of sickenly sweet bubble gum with sugar granuals so large the gum actually had a slight gritty crunch to it. No to mention that more than one piece would make your teeth hurt. (Try the grape). I'm pretty sure this gum hit the market about "83-84"

A huge piece of gum (at least three ounces) shaped like a burger and packaged like a McDonald's burger of the era, in a styrofoam box.

It is flavored like pink bubblegum-and yes it was gross. I found it in the grocery stores in Montana while on vacation around 88-89. I thought it was too cool at the time so I decided to save a can to show my friends back at home. I still have an unopened can around here somewhere!

These were the size of real cigarettes, wrapped in paper even. Think they had flour in them so when you'd blow through it...looked like smoke coming from the tip.

It's an ice-cream bar in the shape of a face. Flavors included Strawberry, Vanilla, and Chocolate ice cream; had a hard chocolate candy backing and a bubble gum nose.

Bubble Gum in a tape dispenser...came in a variety of flavors.

It sort of tasted like peach if I remember correctly. It came in beige or light yellow packaging with polka-dots (pink I think, or maybe orange.)

--Chocolate mint flavor. It was a yucky green color, but tasted just like chocolate mint

It was the softest gum. It came in a pack where you had to pop it out, much like the way some pills come today. I think there were six. The commercial was of astronauts in space reaching for the gum floating by. The song was "Bubble Eeez.....Bubble Gum."

It was soda pop that tasted like bubble gum. It was made by Bubble-Yum I think. They were in pink cans.

At the height of the thick-block bubblegum craze (BubbleYum, Hubba Bubba, Bubblicious), BubbleYum came out with BubbleFudge -- of course, chocolate-flavored gum. I was dying to try it, begged my dad to bring me some...and it was completely disgusting. Vanished soon after. (Possibly this was late-70s, but I think it was very early 80s.)

It was six gumballs in a pop out pouch (you know like pills come in) and there was an astronaut on the ad. "Bubble Ubble Ez Bubble Ubble Gum... It's Like Nothing You've Ever Seen..."

One of the clones of Bubble Yum and Hubba Bubba, created around the same time.

This was gum that had some sort of jelly filled centre. Nasty, NASTY stuff now that I think about it.

I remember an ice cream bar from the 80's called Buffalo Bill, it had chocolate head, a vanilla face and bubblegum nose. It was pretty yummy too. I use to buy it from Mr. softee. (you know the ice cream truck) Hmm maybe it was a NY thing.LOL That ice cream bar is defintely from the 80's There is alo Flintsone Ice cream bars. I still see those around

Bugles -- we always ate these in the 80's (although they may have come out in the 70's?).

What about Buns, they were chocolate/nut clusters that came in caramel, vanilla, and fudge flavors? I used to love them when I was little!

Teeny tiny hamburgers from Burger King. I think they came in a three-pack. They were probably out in the mid- to late-80s.

Not sure if that was the exact name, but it was THE best!! Sometimes McDonald's carries one similar now, when they have "feature" pies.

I worked at Burger King in 1989 and they came out with two small mini burgers that were attached called Burger Buddies. 2 for $1. I remember them because the frozen patties were already attached and stayed that way through the grill, and the buns were too; but easy to break off and eat seperatly. Also - they were small enough to eat in a couple bites in the back room without being noticed for a quick snack!!

It was on the dessert menu at Burger King for a very short time back in 1989. It was a pie made from the stuff that german chocolate cake is frosted with (a gooey, coconut & sugar concoction) with a little chocolate icing on top.

The fish sandwich from Burger King. They still have it, but it's called the Big Fish now, probably due to the fact that Whales are endangered species. How politically correct of them!

Came on a long Sesamae seed bun two beef patties side by side with chedder cheese and bullseye bbq sauce. First burger I remember being served with Onion Rings on it. Later re-packaged as the rodeo burger (regular round burger with no onion rings)

A competitor to the McDonalds breakfast sandwich, it is still around to day

Variations on the current BK chicken sandwich. The Italian has marinara sauce and mozarella cheese. The French had a slice of ham, swiss cheese and mayo. The American was the same as current chicken sandwich but with tomatoes.

Veal sandwich on long bun (like current chicken sandwich) with red sauce and parmesan and mozzarella cheese melted on top. Wish they still made these. Delicious!

Orange Sherbet ice cream treat on a plastic stick. On the top part of the stick (which held the ice cream) was usually an amimal or circus character. It came in a blue wrapper and it appeared like an upside down cone. (The skinny part was on the bottom)

Basically it was a powdered drink mix in an accordian style bottle. You stretched out the bottle before adding water. The noise of expanding the bottle and the chugging noise it made when poured sounded like a burp. It was probably out around 1987-1988.

C-3POs Cereal, This was two Cheerios stuck together and had a slight sugar coating that made it just sweet enough.

Delicious Frito-Lay Ruffles potato chips with cajun spices. Unfortunately they don't make them anymore.

Wine coolers in lots of fruity flavors.

Had to mention this cause I used to eat this at least once a week after coming school from Jr High and High school. Cheeder cheese sauce/soup that had little bits of peppers in it.

These came in a red box with a bowl of soup on one side and a sandwich on the other. They were microwaveable. My favorite combo was Tomato Soup with a Toasted Cheese Sandwich. There were a bunch of different combinations, though. This site is making me long for the foods of my childhood! nikki

Beef broth with meatballs, vegetables, and ABC noodles. So delicious that I sent a request to Campbell's begging them to start making it again.

Sauages that came in a can. You would fry them like breakfast sauages.

This came in a 16 oz short, tubby glass bottle w/the styrofoam-like label on it. I remember these during my senior year of high school ('87-88) and the taste was absolutely out of this world. Usually these were found in convenience stores, but have disappeared into oblivion around the early 90's. This one had a bit stronger peach taste than the Nehi that's currently around, but it's similar (and IMO better.)

A fruit punch flavored drink from the makers of Canada Dry ginger ale.

A fruit chew that came in an assorted flavor pack of 12 or so; it was a Starburst-like candy that was created by Bubbilicious and was off the market by like 1988-1989.

They came in Winston and Malboro boxes, smaller than a real cigarette, all white, and almost all glucose/sugar not very sweet.

Pieces of candy stuck on rolls of paper. The paper used to always come off with the candy, which I always thought was a little gross. Originated before the 80s

Candy paper was a 4" by 4" paper thin piece of candy that had a waffled texture to it and tasted like it may have been compressed cotton candy. It came in Blue and Pink. I remember getting it at the local corner store when I was very little. I haven't found very many people who actually remember the stuff because I don't think it was around for long.

Not sure who made it... but it was a pudding mix that had a thin coat of chocolate candy on top after it was set. So good!!

A reddish pink candy, its consistency reminiscent of a crayola. It tastes like it's flavored with grandma's favorite cheap perfume. One half was wrapped with a shiny gold foil to complete the illusion of mom's finest lipstick. Haven't seen it since the early 80's.

Candies on an elastic string that you wore around your neck

It was a HORRIBLE diet soda with the slightest, fake chocolate flavor. YUK!

DelMonte came out with this in the late 80's('88-'89) and would buy it by the 4 pack and put it in my lunch pail for work. It wasn't bad. It came with a pull top like instant pudding did. You certainly didn't get the live cultures though.

Do you remember a soft drink called Capari? It was in San Diego around 1983 and it was in a very thin can and was a light citrus carbonated beverage.

Tinfoil packaged drinks, a lot like drink boxes, only they don't have a cardboard outer package (and they're bigger too).

I graduated in '82 & our high school cafateria used to sell Captain Crunch ice cream bars. They were very similar to the Good Humor chocolate eclair ice cream bars with the same chocolate crunchies. I do beleive that the Captain Crunch ones had a much better flavor though & they also had strawberry. I miss them!

A candy bar filled with caramel, around mid to late 80's

It was vanilla ice cream and it had little rainbow-colored candy bits in it. Possibly in a blue and very decorative box.

The box had pictures of The Care Bears on it.The waffles looked like any other waffles except they had Rainbow colored spots all over them

I choose this cause I know it was created in the 80s. It's basically a chimchanga (I would have simply said this but I'm not sure the Chimichanga was created in the 80s).

A powdered drink mix that you stirred into milk. Came in vanilla, chocolate or strawberry flavour. Great for bratty little kids that wouldn't eat their breakfast (like me). Still sold in Canada.

A hard granola bar in different flavors (chocolate chip, peanut butter) with a chocolate coating. Great for afternoon snacks!

Pasta/meat/cheese casseroles from Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut has a product now called PastaBakes which are almost exactly the same.

Back in the '80s, they came in a plastic container similar to Tic-Tacs, but it was horizontal

Pop one of these Certs in your mouth, turn off the lights and bite it....you were supposed to see sparks of light as you bit into it.

Breath mints that came in different flavors in one roll. It was like orange, grape cherry, etc. But there was one flavor that was in there that I miss and it was the mixed fruit flavor.

Made by Keebler, I beleive, these spicy tortilla chips have been missed!!!

I remember my best friend had these at her house. You had to order them from a catalog and they came in a 5 pound can. They were lighter than Lay's Potato Chips but had a lot more flavor. Wonderful!!

You can freeze it and crack it or just unwrap it a chewy chocolate coated center for you charleston chew 3,2,1 charleston chew! strawberry, chocolate and vanilla. Around before and after the 80s..

Put out by Bubblelicious, i believe. Each piece looked like a miniature checkerboard with four squares of hot pink and white. Tasted like peppermint.

Like a pretzel twist in size and shape, but with the consistency of a chip. It was made by Keebler, I think around 1985.

Some kind of carbonated drink that came out around '89. Tasted terrible, but had the best commercial on TV. It's slogan was: "Cheerwine. It's not your ordinary soft drink, it's like...something else, okay?"

A torilla filled with lots of cheese and scallions and rolled...like a Meximelt without the meat.

They were hotdogs with bits of cheese inside.

Jarred cheese-food (like Velveeta) that you could microwave and pour over anything. Rich in Cheesy-goodness!

These were made by Cadbury around the mid 80`s in the UK (not sure about anywhere else). The package was bright yellow and inside were two sticks of very strong flavoured processed soft cheese with a lattice/criss cross wafer on the outside. They were then sprinkled with a very strong cheese flavoured powder. They were really strong!!. I think they were only about for a year or so - then they disapeared. Shame. I used to love em!!

These cheetos were the best! They were cheese and bacon flavored and the package was a maroon color. Why the heck don't they bring it back?

Very, very short lived. Not sure of the company but it was this stupid invention of Pizza with little eggrolls and stuff on it for you to microwave. It was supposed to solve the age-old dilemma of "Chinese Food or Pizza tonight? -Lets have both!" My mother bought it once and then could never find it again...

Ravioli filled with chicken in a cream sauce...pretty tasty.

Made by Chef Boyardee, mini cheese ravioli with small meatballs. What happened to them?

Dough powder, cheese powder, oily bright orange sauce in a can--delicious! Only in the very loosest interpretation is this stuff pizza. Still available, and can't beat the 80s nostalgia price of $3.50!

Came in a blue can and it had floppy roller coaster looking noodles.. soo yummy .. I know they had it till the 90s.. It was my brother and my favorite food.

I used to eat these things whenever I came home from a playing gig at about four in the morning. They were frozen microwavable sandwiches with a cellophane top. They came in tuna melts, barbecued beef, beans and franks and chili-burgers or something like that. So good! Some of my fondest memories. I used to eat two or three of them before going to bed and sleeping till noon. Then I went to law school.

Chocolate-covered toffee, if I remember correctly. Kinda like a Heath Bar, only smaller.

This was cherry flavored 7-up.

I remember getting these a few times round about '82. They were your typical candy cigarette, but instead of the bland chalky taste, they instead had a fantastic cherry flavor.

These actually belong to the lemon heads and Alexander the Grape family but deserve special mention because they are the only ones no longer available. The racist, stereotypical Chinese charicature depicted on the front of the box wasn't politically correct enough for the 90's.

Came and went pretty fast in the mid/late 80's (Scandinavia). Sold in half litre glass bottles with a white label and purple letters. Tasted great with a cherry Hubba Bubba... I believe the Cherry Coke survived in the States, though...

Came out when I was in Jr. High. IT was a cherry/cocanut chocolate bar. I LOVED it. It was an Australian import, like Velvet Crumble, but I haven't seen it since about 1985.

It was gum that tasted like the pop cherrycoke

Soft, square of gum with a sweet liquid center. Yumm!

It was candy shaped like little pieces of chalk. It had a powdery white outside and a red chewy center.

Similar to Hamburger Helper, but used with pieces of chicken. There were several flavors.

Hot dogs made with chicken. Tasted like plastic!

Small chicken sandwhiches from KFC!!!!! The best!

Made big in the food industry by McDonalds. This small breaded pieces of chicken are common in many fast food chains. Usually served with a variety of sauces including BBQ, hot mustard, sweet and sour, and honey.

It was a sauce in a jar that you put over chicken. I remember the commercial "I feel like chicken tonight.." and the people in the commercial were flapping their arms like chickens.

These were snack crackers that still exist today.... They are shaped like chickens, are very greasy and actually made with real chicken (which part?). They have an almost pwdery coating. They are excellent with Easy Cheese

Chicklets came in a box and came in all sorts of horrible artifical flavours such as strawberry. I never see Chicklets in the stores anymore.

A version of Butterfinger, but slimmer and covered with coconut. Came out before the 80s

Orange,crunchy stick with a buttery taste

A chili and cheese burrito from Taco Bell. Came out late 80's, died an unfortunate death in the early 90's. Was the staple of my college career, I might add.

They were hotdogs filled with chilli, they where good. Easy to make; the chilli was already inside. All you had to do is add cheese.

Bite-sized chocolate chip cookies that came in a little red foil bag. Not too many people remember them, but the commercials were pretty humerous.

Little yellow chips shaped like a crescent moon.

They were big cookies (chocolate chip or oatmeal) sandwiching vanilla ice cream.

This was a chocolate-malt flavored ice cream on a stick. It was covered with a thin chocolate shell with rice crispies mixed in it.

It was the ultimate in chocolate snacks. It was layers of chocolate cake , Chocolate cream and then it had a layer of chocolate icing on top. There were 2 in a package and they were shaped like chocodiles.I wish they would bring these back.

These were a perfect candy (dough) taco shell and inside was made of icecream and then all topped with chocolate. I think they came in varieties, fantastic for a warm summer treat.

Maybe this was just a Canadian product...I dunno...but there were chocolate bars (came in plain, mint and puffed rice) called "Choco-Lotto". Under the wrapper you could win 5, 10, 25 cents or a free candy bar. I remember eating a lot of these!

It was similar to a Susie Q but had layer of chocolate on top that could be peeled off, and had sort of a whipped chocolate filling.

Like a Ho-Ho, but much bigger... Came with Cream filling and later with peanut butter.

Chocola came in a can like a softdrink (hence the name). It had a very smooth, rich chocolate taste w/ a hint of cola. It was sold in convenience stores everywhere. It was SO good! I never knew why they stopped selling it.

Not sure if it was introduced in the 70's or 80's but it was a light cocoa flavored taffy with a dark chocolate middle. Wish they were still available.

A chocolate Baby Ruth that only existed for a little while.

These little delights were chocolate in the shape and mold of a coin. There were pennies, dimes, nickles, & quarters. Each coin was incased in a foil of the color of coin that they were and the chocolate was embossed to look like the coin. They came in milk chocolate only.

The name says it all.

It was a chocolate drink I use to purchase from the ice cream truck and various stories in the 80's. It had a picture of a cow jumping over the moom on it and it was a brown can.

These were large chocolate dinosaur eggs with a cripsy white + rainbow speckled candy shell. It was chocolate on the inside and in the middle there was a dino shaped gummy. Jelly Belly was the maker.

Milk Chocolate fruit roll-ups by Betty Crocker. My son loved them!

Pillsbury used to make a mix. It was dark chocolate with a tunnel of cocunut flavored white cake. White frosting. Yum. They no longer make the mix and will not release the recipe.

A very disgusting and shorty-lived brown-and-green bubble gum put out by Bubbalicious. Always looked (and tasted) like it had been sitting around on some shelf for a number of months before it got to you. Dusty and chalky and weird.

This was a chocolate covered Payday bar. They were great but they didn't last too long.

Yummy chocolate covered carmels that are still sold today by Storck. Very tuff carmel though, until it is thoroughly worked over. I lost a few baby teeth eating these, and a few that didn't even feel loose beforehand. We actually started either freezing them to make them crunchy, to avoid the tooth pulling properties of the candy.

I think Nabisco made them. They'd come in a small brown and white box with a superimposed drawn face of an animal over a cookie. Small, dark, crispy chocolate cookies that were around until the early 90s. They also came in chocolate chip (red and white box I believe). They were so good!

Chocolate drink in a little bottle a lot like Yoohoo but not as good. Very watered down chocolate taste.

This was not a chocolate covered twinkie but an actual choclate twinkie with white filling. They also had a chocolate "twinkie the kid" on the box

It was a chocolate candy bar infused with air bubbles. It was covered in a yellow wrapper surrounded by a brown wrapper.

Record album shaped bubblegum packaged in full-color miniture LP sleeves popular at the time. Included lyrics to one of the album tracks so you could sing your favorite song while chewing a big wad of gum.

Circular-shaped gumdrop candies that came in various fruit flavors. Probably introduced around mid to late 80s.

It was kind of considered a candy bar I think. I think it was wrapped in a silver foil wrapper. They may have come in different sizes. It was a perfectly square piece of chocolate. Very good.

Fabulous chicken chain that was competing with Popeye's Chicken in the 80's. They had such side orders as: fried okra, corn on the cob, cole slaw and crinkle cut fries. Still but few restaurants still exist. Mostly in the south.

It was (or is-don't know if it is still around) a red soda that tasted like creme soda. I remember it around 1986-1989. I drank it all through high school!

You won't find them on any restaurant counter anymore.

It was around the early 80's It was in a black box, and they were just like today's gobstoppers except they were all red with a delicous cinnamon cany center.....please help me find them. I haven't seen these in 20 years!!!

It was from Taco Bell. They were basically cut up flour tortilas in wedge shape deep fried with cinnamon sugar on them. They now market cinnimon twists..which suck. They triangles were incredible.

Like Lucky Charms but with marshmellows shaped like circus stuff

Alcoholic beverage in a bottle. Comes in different flavors.

Soda made by 7-Up that was test marketed in the late 80s. Basically 7-Up with a citrus flavor; not unlike Sprite or Squirt, but I thought it was better.

They came in a light blue bottle and were flavored water. Many different flavors with a couple of examples being peach and cherry. They're beginning to be sold in stores again now in a new bottle design.

Distributed by Allens these lollies came in a red box similar to Chico's. They were a large chewy caramel bullet covered in coconut. Very yummy and taken off our shelves in the early 90's

By far the best coconut drink available.. a milky, sweet lightly-flavored coconut drink made by Yoohoo. They stopped selling it mid-90s and I haven't been the same since...

A candy with a thin chocolate coating and a coffee-flavored caramel center. I probably have eaten a hundred of these in the early 80s.

The new coke experiment. This was a real public relations flop for the Coke company. They announced they were changing the formula (in order to compete with Pepsi better) and the public backlash was instant. They relabeled it Coke II and re-issued coke as Coke Classic. The funny thing is that they had changed the formula a few times before in the past without any problems.

Back in the 80s there were some cola bottle-shaped fruit snacks with sugar coating that came in individually wrapped packages for school lunches. There were root beer bottles with white foam caps and soda bottle shapes. Surprisingly the root beer bottles tasted like rootbeer.

It was bubble gum with a liquid center that was flavored like Coka Cola or Dr Pepper...there were other flavors as well. It was out around 1985-1987.

it was was popsicle that tasted like italian ice from what i can remember, they came out around 1987. and they had a little "gummy" (i use this loosely) dinosaur in the center you enjoyed.

Snack food consisting of a small rounded, bite sized outer shell of pretzel filled with cheeze-spread. There was also a potato chip version that was made from dehydrated potatoes (ala pringles or munchos flavor) and filled with a "sour cream & chives" derrived product. They were gross tasting but fun to suck the middle creamy layer out of the pretzel/chip layer.

Tasted just like a Coney Dog! Chili/Cheese/Onions/Hot Dog. My Aunt loved them.

Best excuse to have cookies for breakfast!! Mini chocolate chip cookies that you pour milk over. Comercial had a burgler that was always stealing the box of cookie crisp cereal and the old fashoned looking cop was always chasing him around and putting him in jail.

One of the Dorito's brand chips that I'm certain originated in the 80s. I believe Nacho Cheese came out before the 80s (though I might be wrong), Taco is possible, and the short lived Jumping Jack Cheese came out either in the very late 80s or the early 90s.

It wasn't as if the beer was different, but it was all in the packaging. It was a two or three gallon ball full of shitty beer with a handle on top.

It came out in the mid 80's, and the commercial had a bunch farm girls dancing with the Pringle Canister.

Same idea as combos, but I beleive they were around before them. They were a corn based shell with picante or a spicy cheese filling.

Hard, salted snacks, made from kernels of corn. Very crunchy, came in different flavors: BBQ, Ranch, etc. I remember trying get away with eating them in class!

Cereal really big in the 80s...There was also Boo Berry and some other one, but Count Chocula was the best! A lot like Cocoa Puffs (which I also think came out in the 80s). It's still in stores today, but sometimes hard to find!

It was a gum with a hard outer shell. The commercials all showed characters taking a bite of the gum and doing something silly. I remember one vividly- a girl with long braids chews one, and her braids stick straight out from her head, she grabs a pole to her bed, and spins around madly.

It was Ocean Spray Cranberry/Apricot juice. I used to have it all the time in the early 80's late 70's. It disappeared in the mid 80's.Nobody I mentin this too remembers it except my mother.

A DELICIOUS cranberry-dominated fruitpunch made by Ocean Spray in the 80s.

They were hard candies shaped like bones. They came in a small plastic coffin.

These were fruit snacks, but they also had a yogurt/creme-like coating the fruit snack. I loved these. My mom used to get the orange and white cream ones. Anyone else remember these?

A deep fried burrito (came with salsa) from Carls Jr........A major Yummy in my book, I could eat this morning, noon & night.....I wish they'd bring them back..

Hot and spicy jalapino potato chips with a really hard crunch. My high school had these in the vending machines circa 88-89.

It's somewhat like carmel corn but better, it has more of a butter flavored carmel with peanuts. You can still find it in stores today.

These were granola bars that were coated with something simlar to yogurt coating. I think there were several flavors, and chocolate chip stands out in my mind. They were more like a candy bar in nutritional value but since they had "granola" we all thought they were oh-so-good-for-you!!!

Crush soda was available in orange, lime and grape. But the cool thing about it was the way you opened it. The can had two circles in the top and you pushed them to open them. (Not too safe!)

sour candy balls....so sour everyone looked ridiculous eating them...didn't taste very good though, Warheads are the same idea but I think they came out later and they're smaller

Diet fruit-like drink. Commercials featured perky women in leotards.

Chocolate candy cups that were filled with a creamy coconut and almond center (utterly decadent)...appeared pre-80s.

This was a snack cracker that NABISCO made in the early 80's. They were chicken flavored, and shaped to look like miniature drumsticks. They had a commercial featuring a Dixieland band singing - "DIXIES.... DIXIES.... DRUMSTICK....SNACK CRACKERS!" I thought they were quite good, and other than the fact that their CHICKEN IN A BISCUIT crackers were also similarly flavored, I don't know why they stoped making them. Nobody other than me seems to remember them.

Ice cream with the candy and stuff (oreo/m&m/reese's/etc.) all blended together in those cups. It is sad that there are kids today who think that the McFlurry (rip-off) was the first, but it wasn't.

This bar was like a cream color with a chocolate swirl on top of it. This bar was in a clear wrapper and tasted of a thin wafer and cinnamon.

Remember Dannon Dan-Ups? This was an early brand of drinkable yogurt that came in a little plastic bottle. Yum!

Frozen vanilla yogurt bars on a stick

Wow! I wish these were still around, I couldn't find them anywhere on the internet. These were a Willy Wonka candy that were the "Evil Twin" of Gobstoppers. Same size box, only box was black and the little "Gobstopper" had flames, same size candy, only they were HOT. Almost like Atomic Fireballs only smaller so you could be less conspicuous in class. I also like the taste a bit better than Fireballs. Fireballs have now copied them with a smaller version, but they are wrapped. I miss being able to pop them out of the box in junior high 1984.

This was either very late 80s or early 90s...it came in the old can with the ring you had to pull off. It had "Alvin and the Chipmunks" on the packaging. It tasted like bubble gum, and was pink and delicious.

it was in a wild pink and purple striped can - i think it was sold either with the sodas or fruity drinks aisles in the 80's. it was like drinking sugar water! i wish i could remember the full name... delaware punch? delaware soda?

This pizza came in a box in the refrigerated case (with the cans of biscuts) You had to assble it yourself. I remember unrolling the dough, making a rectangle shaped pizza. These were pretty good, I wish they still made them. I guess they want us to eat their frozen pizza instead.

Introduced in 1982, Diet Coke shot up the charts to become the uncontested #4 soft drink in America (with only Coke, Pepsi, and 7-Up ahead of it) by the end of 1983. By 1984 it was comfortably nestled in the #3 spot.

Diet soda sold in a variety of interesting flavors like Tangerine and White Grape.

Long narrow ice cream (vanilla) on a stick with a chocolate center, covered in chocolate. Also came in mint flavor.

Fairly large cookies(about 4") shaped like a stegosaurus. They were cinnamon/sugar flavored and came in rectangular green box.

Back in the 80's I use to buy what I believe are called dinosaur eggs. They came in a black box (one per box). They were shaped like eggs, very hard, came in different colors. As you sucked on them, they turned different colors and at the end you were left with a little egg that had a powdery/sour tasting center.

little colorful pieces of dinosaurs...tasted fruity!

A packet that came with a large flat tongue surpressor-like stick made of rock-solid condensed sugar, with sugary-flavored powder in two flavors (not unlike Pixie stick powder). You can dip that stick into the powder and therefore ingest twice as much sugar. But you had the lick the stick first for the powder to stick to it! Once you finished the powders, you'd usually throw the stick away. It never tasted great by itself.

They were granola bars dipped in chocolate. They came in a few different flavors, such as peanut butter and chocolate chip. Delicious little chocolate treats.

A corn chip with a zig zag pattern. My favorite snack in High School :)

Small, sweet tart like candies shaped as shirts, socks, underwear, etc. Came packaged in a miniture plastic washing machine. Mid to late 80's.

Popsicles in the shapes of goofy, mickey, donald, daisy, and minnie--you could bite their ears off!!

Donald Duck orange juice! This juice came in a can with the now non-existent wrapper-like aluminum colored pull off tabs. The juice was sold in a can depicting Donald smiling.

Kind of like chex mix, but in a blue box. They weren't as salty and they didn't have any rye chips in them.

Hollow, ridged potato snacks; filled with sour cream and onion stuff that was fun to suck out!

These chips had an original taco flavor; no sour cream flavor. Really good. Haven't been able to find them in years.

A strip of hard sugary candy that was dotted on a thin piece of paper that came rolled up in the packaging. It had a variety of colors, yellow, blue, and pink. You would have to rip off the candy dot, or bite it off which was impossible to do without getting some of the paper stuck to the back.

Another one of the liquid-filled gums of the '80s, it was purple with Dr. Pepper syrup in the center. It was pretty good, especially if you liked Dr. Pepper.

A small cardboard box lined with something like tin foil and plastic, used for dispensing just about any type of fruit drink. Very popular still.

"you don't just eat, you Dunk-a-roo" was the tag line of an Kangaroo shaped animal cracker that you can dunk in the frosting it provided. Strawberry, Chocolate, Vanilla and I think they had a promotional w/ sprinkles one 4th of July.

It had the "time to make the donuts" guy on the front and it came in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry flavors,they were so good!

It was a cup that contained 5-6 cracker sticks and a little side cup of chcolate to dip them in. I remember the cup being a little larger then a Dixi cup.

These were very good donuts that came in a blue box with a picture of a windmill on them. Much better than Entenmann's, Hostess, or other boxed donuts. Haven't seen them since the early '90s. Loved the Glazed and Chocolate Glazed the most.

This candy which came out in the late 80's (or was it the early 90's I'm not quite sure) was designed to be a Nerds candy rip off. It looked and tasted like Nerds only it was not quite as sour and you only got one flavor per box.

Almost exactly like Tic-Tacs but the container was long-ways.

Made by Keebler. Little sandwich cookies shaped like Keebler elves with chocolate creme in the middle.

Horrible sugarless cereal with a picture of E.T. on it from the movie. I let my dad mix it with his cereals, kept the toy and stuck to the Lucky Charms.

Tastiest chips on the market. Ever. Company died sometime in the early 90's.

Cheese in a can that had diffrent flavors. American, Beacon, & Nacho.

The green blob on Ecto Cooler was Slimer from the Ghostbusters...the drink was green which was a reference to Slimer

frozen waffles that you could heat up in the toaster, in the commercial someone was always trying to take someone else's waffle so they would say "Leggo my ego!", they still have them but they don't play the commercials

corn tortilla stuffed with refried beans,beef,onion. then rolled up and topped with red sauce,cheddar cheese and 3 sliced black olives.

Oval-shaped crackers with a pleasantly buttery flavor. Less dry than Captain's Wafers, but unfortunately no longer available. They were great with a shrimp mold, as they didn't snap as easily as other crackers.

Soda with an orange twist that originated before the 80's, now comes in a lemon flavor as well.

Very similiar to Funions, but were straight and came in two flavors, I think.

An ice cream treat made by Good Humor that was in the shape of a frog with candy pieces for eyes and nose. It was soooo good!

Taco Bell in the 80s introduced some mini-tacos, maybe about half the size of the regular tacos. They were the same thing except smaller (and cuter), and they only cost a quarter.

This was a wafer bar shaped like a granola bar (rectangle, thin) covered with a vanilla or chocolate coating and a filling similar to the coating. It was sort of like a Nutty Bar from Little Debbie.

I remember Five Alive juice from the early/mid 80's. Basically, a blend of 5 different fruit juices.

This is a flavored powder you could put in water or milk to change color and of course fizz,still sold in some stores.

Small squarish candies in a variety of flavours with fizzy stuff in the centre and came in strips with each one separate. I can't remember if fizzy candy is the actual name. They were as popular as Fun Dips and Nerds where I lived.

Flaky Flix are a chocolate covered wafer cookie topped with cereal-like flakes that were to die for! I'm sure they are still on the market today.

A wafer type cookie with cream filling, covered with chocolate and rolled in a corn flake type cereal.

Little snack pastries with preprocessed fruit fillings... may have come out late 70's, but definately a lunch box staple for part of the 80's

Ghirardelli packaged these large chocolate drops in a tube roughly the size of a TP-roll. They stopped making these in the late 80s?? Had a pleasant taste not found in any other chocolate.

It was soda that came in diffrent fruit flavors. Of course the labels had all the characters. If I remember correctly diffrent characters from the cartoon had diffrent flavors. It came out the same time as Flintstones Push-Ups Ice Cream bars. The fruit fizz didn't last very long, probably because of the taste.

Chocolate-covered raisins that came in a box of 6 bags and came out around 1987-1988. My mom put them in my lunches!

I try to find this everywhere. It came in individual pieces wrapped in an orange wrapper with a little Confucious guy on it. Inside you got gum and a funny fortune. Remember it?

The ABSOLUTE best mac and cheese, hot or cold, like no other canned mac and cheese on the market, it had long noodles and tons of cheese. Too bad they stopped making it.

Hot Dog weiners that had chili stuffed inside. They also came in a variant with cheese inside instead.

Made by the same person who made count chochula.. Faded away in the early 90's.

Breakfast cereal - A bunch of fictonal characters lived in the Freakies tree. Boss Moss was the leader.

Gum that doesn't stick to your dental work.

The diet lemon-lime soda with cancer causing sweetener (saccharin). Like 7-up, with a bad aftertaste.

Freshen your breath with freshen up The gum that goes squirt. Basically, mint gum with a gel-like juice center that exploded when you chewed it.

Glass-bottled hometown sodas that weren't sold in all areas...*variety* of flavors such as Orange, Root Beer, Blue Cream, Cherry Limeade, Peach, and Pink Lemonade.

Mmmmm....from Wendy's; a really thick milk shake in chocolate flavor.

They were all natural, frozen on a wooden popsicle stick. They came in a variety of flavors. They had pieces of real frozen fruit thru out the bars. They had a clear cellophane wrapper with colored writting. Some of the flavors were: strawberry, strawberry/banana, coconut, pineapple, and honeydew. They were sold individually at small convenience stores and markets. I do not remember buying them at large chain store supermarkets.

Large foot shaped ice cream on a stick with a gumball on the big toe in place of a toe nail. Member these in the 80's getting them from the ice cream trucks that made the rounds.

Another big industry of the 80s thanks to places like Penguins and TCBY. The ice-cream alternative for people worried about the amount of fat/calories in ice cream.

It was like a fruit roll-up but was thinner and not rolled up; came in a few flavors.

I believe these came before fruit roll-ups and fruit snacks. They were a bar of jelled fruit, about .5 x 4 x 2 inches. I remember the commercial featuring Devo-esque characters, singing "Made from real fruit so your taste buds shout, look so ugly they're gonna knock you out!" The whole marketing campaign was based on the fact that the bars were in fact ugly, though tasty.

Chewy fruit snacks that came in strawberry, orange, lemon, and grape. Shaped like either numbers or letters or animals. SOOO GOOD! This was before fruit snacks got way too chewy.

Like strips of hard fruit candy in a box, with little happy faces on each piece.

A piece of plastic with fruit flavored paste flattened against it. You then peel off the fruit and you can play with it or eat it basically. Still very popular.

"Mish-mush, I'm mushin' Fruit Slush, doin' the Fruit Slush Mush"... This was a kool-aidy substance that came in a little cup that you stuck in the freezer. It froze partway and then you mushed up the soft ice with a spoon. Some flavors were good and some were nasty.

It originated before the eighties. It came in thin striped sticks in cherry, grape, and lemon-lime. Lost its flavor faster than any gum I've ever known. Featured a cartoon zebra with different colored stripes in the pack.

Fruit Swirls Bars were made out of the same stuff as fruit roll-ups, but they were swirled with some sort of white nougat. Shaped like a small candy bar, they came out in the mid-to-late 80's.

They were like fruit roll-ups... only they were a thick strip in a little cardboard wrapper.

They were like the regular twinkie except they also had some sort of strawberry jelly inside.

The gum had all these funky colors and the taste only lasted for about 3 min's...and had a zibra of different colors on the pack

It was an unusually smooth ice cream that was made by whipping before it was frozen. It had the most amazing texture. Sold only in pints. I remember sharing a pint with a friend the morning after the prom in 1987. I think it might only have come in chocolate and vanilla. The package said to let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before eating, to let it get just a little soft.

It was like brownie mix and you swirl in this fudge and then bake it. It was good and chocolatey. My favorite!

Made by Keebler it was a small sandwich chocolate cookie with chocolate fudge on the inside.

Made by Carvel. Fudgie the whale is still available today, chocolate ice cream cake in the shape of a whale. Fudgie was featured in a Simpsons episode in which it was an eighties flashback to when Homer and Marge got married. The cake said "To A Whale Of A Wife"!

Fudgies were similar to milk-maid caramels, except they were chocolate fudge flavored. Kraft manufactured them, and they had a gold wrapper (cube shaped). These were SO, SO good-from the 80's.

These were very small sour ball type candies that came in a variety of flavors and colors. Very tasty. I believe it came in a narrow green box.

Sugar candy that came out in the 80's. It had a Lick m aid white dip stick which you would lick and then dip into the sugar packets. The flavors were green apple, cherry, grape and later they came out with blue raspberry.

Sunkist made these little fruit chews. The originals were the best before they became real chewy. They even sold grape or strawberry in their own packs!

They were little crunchy rings that tasted like onion rings. They were addictive, but made your breath smell awful. Originated before the 80s.

These were small chunks of gum similar to Tiny Chiqlets, they came in a box similar to nerds with 2 aliens on the box. I believe these came out in the mid-80's, my first time seeing them was in 1986.

Hard, sour candy shaped like various pieces of garbage that came in a small replica of a garbage can.

There was this soda that was carbonated and chocolate flavored, with Garfield on the can.

Green chewy taffy with black spots all over it and they were sour when you bit into them, the package was red and had a gargoyle on the front. It was my favorite candy and no one remembers it.

I remember it during the late 70's and early 80's. It was chewing gum made by the Gatorade drink people. It was bright green & tasted like Gatorade. I think it maybe also came in grape flavor. Stopped selling around 84 maybe

This was a tasty concoction made by Ralston Purina. It consisted of white marshmellow ghosts and red and yellow cereal bits. Lasted a good long while after the movie was out.

Ghostbusters Slimer gum. This gum was in a big tube like toothpaste and it was green and slimy. Similar to Bazooka in a tube.

These came in either chocolate or vanilla and had a creamy center. What was unique about them was that the cookie was shaped liked a giggling face which was supposed to make you laugh! They even came with stickers.

Candy bar with chocolate coating and peanut butter inside, kinda like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

This candy may have been around before the 80's but I remember them around '83-'84. They were made by the Willie Wonka Company and came in a yellow cardboard box. They were a hard gumball-shaped candy that had several levels of different flavors. I recently saw a box of them at a local convenience store, so apparently they are still around.

Godzilla Shreds was pretty much an exact copy of Big League Chew, even in the same kind of package, with a cool drawing of Godzilla. This came out around 1985, just about when Godzilla's "comeback" film "Godzilla 1985" came out.

Yellow coated bubble gum that came in a little fabric bag with a drawstring. Each piece of gum was a different size... like little nuggets. The bag had brown lettering and a gold drawstring.

Almost identical to the Snickers frozen ice cream bars of today. I think there were 3 varities. These were awesome!!!

PB&J in a single jar. It made making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches much easier. It had alternating columns of peanut butter and grape jelly throughout the jar. I'm pretty sure it's still around.

Boxed fruit drinks, kind of like HI-C. There were 4 flavors, Awesome Orange, Galactic Grape, Superstar Strawberry, and Captain Punch. They had a commercial where the flavors danced around and were all friends - hence the name.

A Green spotted frog on a popsicle stick. It was a very sweet artificial flavor. Distributed by Good Humor. It existed basically in the mid-80's then faded away.

Vicki Lawrence did the commercial. You put fresh chicken in the bag, shook it up and nukked it. It was horrible but I ate a lot of it as a newlywed who was not a great cook.

These were long, tube-shaped granola bars with a nougat center. SOOOOOO good! My mom would pack them for school lunches.

From Keebler, these looked like Oreos, but had green filling with a minty taste, and were particularly delightful. These are NOT the same as modern grasshopper cookies, which are chocolate covered hard one piece things.

This Kool-Aid had an octopus on the front with a top hat on. It was green powder but it changed to bright blue when it hit water. Not sure when this went away (90's I believe) but OMG, it was so good, my favorite of all time. I've even written to Kool-Aid to bring it back but no luck. :o(

Please, someone say you remember these! No one believes me!!! They were Christmas trees made out of green ice cream with tiny little rainbow ball sprinkles on them. I can't remember what flavor the ice cream was, but you could get them every year at the grocery store. They were delicious!

During the low-fat craze of the late '80s, every fast food joint had grilled chicken sandwiches. They are about the only low-fat fast food still around from that era.

I remember the original flavor being in a white bag with dark blue stripes and they were very crunchy and delicious. They may have only been sold in New England and in the early to mid 80's.

I remember them from the very late 80's, they were little gummy root beer flavored chewies in the shape of a soda bottle. I don't remember if they were marketed by Coke or not, but they were a HUGE fad when I was in 1st grade.

Before Disney launched a cartoon about them, there was gummy everything. But the original gummy candy was the Gummy Bear. A rubbery like candy that came in all kinds of colors and flavors. I used to like licking the back of them and sticking them to windows.

A gummy-bear type snack that had different layers and looked like a hamburger. I don't know if these are still around or not!

Like gummy bears only in the shape of a worm...it actually felt like eating a worm.

Do you remember these? No one I talk to seems to remember. They were around in the early 80's...little cans of soda. They were the same diameter as a regular can of soda, just half as tall. I was just a little kid in the early 80's but I definitely remember. Maybe they were region- specific. (I'm in WA State) Do you remember them?

Textured Vegetable Protein and Seasonings that you mixed with a small amount of Ground Beef before using to make it go farther. I think it was around during the early 1980's and meant to offset the high meat prices of that era.

I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure about these delicious cheese and crackers. They were my favorite.

Little packages of crackers and cheese with a plastic stick used to scrape cheese on to your cracker. They later came out with peanut butter. These were around before and after the 80s...

This was a very flavorful hamburger from Hardee's before they became Carl's Jr.

Came out in the late 80's before sub sandwiches ie Subway, were popular nation wide. These were good turkey, bacon, lots of warm mayo on a grain bun.

Pink carbonated drink in 2 liters that seemed to have the same reaction as Jolt. Maybe it was only around the Chicago area, but it was still quite the treat.

These were a thickly cut type of potato chip that came out in the Mid-80's. They came in giant bags and were really cheap

It was an icecream - really creamy vanilla icecream and covered in milk chocolate. The packaging was bright red and said "Have a...Heart". It was a really nice icecream, but I tried it a few years back, and the quality is not as good nowadays.

They were granola bars made by Hershey's(came in a brown box) and the peanut butter ones tasted like a Whatamacallit candy bar(without the carmel). Very GOOD!!

Nabisco use to make these cookies which were very delicious but for some reason stopped making them. They were wafers covered with caramel and chocolate and had nuts on the top. I think I'm missing another ingredient but they were delicous.

Apple tasting(sort of?) very sweet, not unlike all Hi-C juice drinks!

Remember the Hi-C drink that had the character from the Ghostbusters that came out after the movie? That was the nastiest drink. Who wants to drink green orange-flavored juice??????

This was a powder dip that you'd mix with Sour Cream to make THE BEST dip for chips. Can't find it anymore but definitely know I ate my share in the 80s!

Early eighties big thing was to make Hockey pucks a hard candy in the shape of a hockey puck

They were small rings flavored with nacho cheese or plain corn chips.

It was a hostess snack cake of the 80s. It was a layer of chocolate sponge cake, layer of choco frosting, another layer of choco sponge and a thick layer of choco topping like the toppings on Zingers. Came in Chocolate and Chocolate Mint. Very rich and filling I remember.

These are just like the Hostess fruit pies, but they are filled with vanilla or chocolate pudding. The entire pie was dipped in chocolate. The ad campaign consisted of the slogan "Puddin Power".

Just like the Hostess Fruit Pies but they contained pudding inside. They were really quite good.

It was a sliced, formed piece of "topping" that you put on top of a piece of toasted bread to create a hot, open faced sandwich. This product was sold next to the packaged lunch meats at the local A&P. I believe there were several flavors; I remember the pepperoni pizza (very tasty) and roast beef with gravy.

Chips shaped like fries...very hot...Andy Capp was on the bag.

One of the many microwavable products that came out in the 80s. Basically a breaded pocket that holds different foods inside such as ham and cheese, cheese and brocolli, pizza, etc.

These were around in the late '80s. I remember them well. They were like regular Nerds, but instead of being fruit-flavored, one side of the package held Hot (red, cinnamon-flavored) Nerds, and the other side of the box held Cold (light blue, wintergreen-flavored) Nerds. I used to LOVE these things! They tasted great when you put some of both flavors in your mouth at once. Sadly, they disappeared in the '90s.

Hotdogs was gum that had a cinnamon flavor and came packaged just like real hotdogs.

I remember Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum. It came in like a million flavors I remember even Root Beer and Cola. On Saturday mornings during the ever famous cartoons, the commercials for Hubba Bubba always had some cowboy in it. The only bad part of Hubba Bubba is that the flavor didnt last a long time and the gum itself turned hard. I miss it though!

I can't remember which is the correct name for the soda, but it was a bubble gum flavored soda. It was in a pink can and there was a diet also.

Dark chocolate covered coconut pieces. THey rocked!

From Long John Silvers. Not too many of them around anymore. I just loved these things. Hate fish, so I had a basket of hush puppies. MMmmmm.

These were basically the same exact cookies as Oreos but made by a company called Hydrox and were a lot better than Oreos.

These were cookies, like Oreo's, with a creme filling. However, the cookie itself had a design of ice cream cone on it and a bit of the creme filling was pushed up through the top part of the ice cream cone design on the cookie. This was probably between 1983 and 1985, it has been forever...

These were in the candy section, they were sweet merangue like puffs on a plain tasting cone. They came in a bag of about 5 or 6 I think.

A square...super creamy piece of milk chocolate wrapped in silver foil that literally melted in your mouth.

It was like a supersized otterpop and was sold at 7-Eleven. It came in flavors like bluegum,cherry, and lime.

Short fat lollies in plastic tubes. Much better than the ice sticks that were long and thin as they didn't melt as quickly.

It was a oval shaped candy with coconut and chocolate and I dont remember what-else,I think it came out in the early 80's

Sort of like Fritos but bigger and without all the extra salt. Had temporary tattoos inside that were of Indian things like arrowheads and bow and arrows. The tattoos were not food coloring based like the Cracker Jack ones, but slide off in one piece after being wet with a cloth. Couldn't get them off except with baby oil! The chips were great. Much better than Fritos. I used to eat these by the bag with a Tiger Red cream soda to wash them down.

Definitely the first ice cream sandwich on the market that used cookies for the outer layer. Best part was they used to cover the whole thing with chocolate which made for a messy meal. Snackalicious though! I remember flavors such as mint chip, chocolate chip, and coffee. I'm sure there were others, but these were the snackiest.

It was an Italian Sausage sandwich made with the same sausage on their pizza with some special seasoning. I'm told that they quit making them because they take too much time and oven space for the price.

Its claim to fame was double the caffeine and double the sugar for a JOLTING experience.

It was merely a carton full of french fries AND onion rings. Frings.

These sandwiches were sold at Jack in the Box, in the 80's. They were on a poppy seed roll and had lots of secret sauce, ham and cheese. So yummy, but they no longer sell these unfortunately.

Toasted Ravioli with a nice cheese filling. Came with some excellent marinara sauce!

Nachos with either cheese and Jalapenos or with meat and cheese etc. So good. I wish they would bring them back.

Jalepeno-flavored Lay's Potato Chips came out around 1985 and only lasted a short while. They were delicious though and they are the one food item that I really miss. My friends and I used to have contests to see who could eat the most chips without a drink.

Jawbreakers were marketed under a new name, but packed the same tooth-slaughtering goodness.

Came out sometime in the mid-80s. There were actually three flavours to come out at the same time which were Cotton Candy, Root Beer and Cola. Just writing about these; my subconscience lets me experience those undescriptable flavours all over again.

A frozen version of Jell-O pudding. A popsicle with a very thin and crisp outer ice coating and creamy frozen pudding on the inside. Swirl was the best! My favorite topic of nostalgia conversations!

They were exactly like Jell-o pudding pops only these were a fruitier version. They came in mixed berry, strawberry and raspberry. They came out around 1986 and lasted a few years unfortunately. They rocked and I miss them.

It was instant Jello that you had to make in the blender. When you put it in the fridge, it separated into three layers...a creamy top, a mousse-like middle, and plain Jello bottom...strawberry and orange. I miss it.

Bill Cosby of course was the spokesperson. They were frozen pudding in a popsicle form. Came in choc, vanilla and choc/vanilla swirl. I am sure these were introduced in the 80's and may have lasted into the 90's but are no longer made unfortunatley!!

Little cups of Jello brand pudding. They also came out with the famous choco/van. swirl. These were around before the 80s. They switched to the plastic cups in the 80s

Instead of having the juice like squeeze-its the plastic bottle contained Jello.

These are the tastiest Jelly beans ever! Too bad they are expensive! They have these neat flavours, such as toasted marshmellow, orange crush, strawberry cheesecake, chocolate pudding etc. They come in a box or tin can.

Shredded beef jerky (yeah, as an adult that just SOUNDS nasty.) in a small round container that resembled chewing tobacco.

Jiffy Muffin Mix came in a small box of plain corn muffin mix or blueberry and also in the early 80s in lemon which I liked best. It's still sold in stores today in regular corn muffin and blueberry mix only. I wish they would make the lemon again.

It was along the lines of Lemonheads, etc., but these were green and left your tongue green. They were a little sour on the coating, but fine past that.

A hard, retangular shaped candy which is somewhat transparant. Kids always hhad at least 3 or 4 of these little candies with them at all time They are known for their intense favor (Try the green apple or grape).

These were the smaller, hardened version of ju ju fruits. i remember sitting on the bus eating these...and then going to the dentist and him yelling at me for pulling the brackets of my braces! Ju-Ju bees could pull a tooth out!

A boxed baking mix with a brownie on the bottom and a yellow/white cake crumble on top

I think these were in the 80's. My favorite, I was upset when Doritos pared down their flavors and nixed it.

Came in fruit punch with the lion who had a mane similar to an afro. the cartons were about the size of the now milk cartons you see. I think it was like a quart of the best fruit punch since Hawaiian, who will always be King of Fruit Punches.

Made by the Wonka Company these were little rolled wafer candies that tasted just like fruit juices. I think they were even made with real juice. Flavors included orange(my favorite), grape and a couple others I've forgotten

They are the size and shape of Krystals or Whilt Castle Burgers. Little chicken patties on little buns with mayo and a pickle. I loved to put cole-slaw and ketchup on them. I think they came out around '86.

Two pretzel sticks twisted together and had a great buttery flavor.

These were mini bite sized loaves of bread that you popped in the microwave or toaster oven. The banana bread was scrumptious!

Twisted nacho cheese flavored snack.

These were the originals! Otter Pops came second. They were plastic tubes filled almost all the way with flavored juice then you freeze them and you would cut off the top and it eat like a push-up

Sold by KFC in the 80s, replaced by shoestring potatoes, then resurrected and re-christened as it's current name "Potato Wedges".

Kentucky Nuggets were, of course, KFC's version of McNuggets. Their horseradish sauce was about the same strength as today's Arby's "Horsey" sauce.

It was a soda, similar to a Mountain Dew.

These came out in the mid-80s. I never ate them but I would feed them to my little brother when I babysat. They smelled so bad and looked worse. I used to feed them to my kids but can't bring myself to do that to them any longer. YUCK!!!

Breakfast cereal shaped like crowns. It tased a lot like Captain Crunch.

Vanilla ice cream inside a thin, hard chocolate shell. Square-shaped. Wrapped in foil.

A dairy case item and off-shoot of pre-stirred yogurt, these scrumptuous 4-oz cups had a gelatinized cream cheese mixture with a moist graham cracker crust and sour cream topping. They came in only a few flavors, including strawberry and blueberry. Rather like a lite mousse and reminiscent of Cool Whip in the sixties. We haven't seen them since the '80.

Around the "Crocodile Dundee" time, when everything Australian was cool. Basically a syrupy pop with flavors like mango-passion fruit and stuff. Once in a while you can still come across it. I showed it to an Australian and he couldn't believe how cheesy it is.

Little bite size cookies filled with chocolate fuge.

A long flat strip of chewy taffee (pink, white and brown) It came covered in a waxy piece of paper.

I miss them, 4 flavours: Rum & Butter, Coffee ?( I think), Chocolate and Original in red, green, gold and brown tootsie roll shaped packaging ...

Tasted like "Cape Cod Chips" only they can in flavors such as Jalapeno, and Barbecue.

This was a breakfast cereal in the shape of small animals, like tiny animal crackers. Mid-80's. One time came with a Krispy Kritters golden book. Still have it.

Chocolate covered chewy granola bars in flavors like chocolate chip and cookies 'n' cream

The original microwavable pasta and meat or cheese pre-canned in a styrofoam container. Many products have followed suit. They were cheap and were often sold out of hot vending machines. The beef ravioli was my personal favorite.

We all remember this taffy-like candy. Bannana was always my fave! Its still around if you can find it.

Little multicolored pieces of gum that are incredibly sour then becomes very tasteful. I loved them, never seen them since the mid to early 80's. Saw a wrapper of them on tv tonight on a show called "Unwrapped".

A round microwavable black plastic plate divided in 3 compartments with various meals enclosed. Usually Llike chicken, rice and a veggie. The plate was reusable. 1985ish.

Yellow lemon favor cookies with a lemon flavor filling. I think that it came out before the 80's; unsure.

Another Bubbalicious brainchild. Came out along with Bananaberry, but this kind had neon green lime gum wrapped around blinding yellow lemon. Not quite as tasty as Bananaberry, but pretty damn good. Again, looked great in hand!

A very tart hard lemon candy thats still popular today! I remember they used to be 10 cents a box and there were some different flavors like "alexander the grape" and "Johnny Appletreat".

They were supposed to be the centers of Life Savers candy. They came in a plastic tube. I remember sticking one up my nose as a tiny tot. (Mom freaked out.) This is one of the reasons why they are not around anymore!

It was marketed as either soda or juice, and it came in more than one flavour. I remember that the bottle was shaped like a Life Saver and had Life Saver-esque rings on the bottle. Oh, and it tasted horrible.

Bright popsicles that came in Lifesaver flavors: Cherry, Orange, Pineapple, and Lime.

Lollipops shaped like a big Lifesaver. Only they were usually mixed flavours like cherry vanilla or something like that. They were really good!

Candy Flavored Powder that came with little flat sticks made of pure sugar. You licked the stick to wet it, and then you used it to get the flavored powder out of their packets. Came together in Grape, Cherry, and Watermelon.

In an effort to enter into the cola industry, the 7-Up corporation introduced Like and Diet Like colas. Unfortunately, the colas were rather short-lived.

Potato chips made from potatoes with high sugar content which when cooked turned the chips toasty brown ,also had a stronger flavor. Made by Lever Potato Chips in St. Catharines Ont. Ca.

Yes, BRIGHT GREEN (it was the '80s after all!) lime Kool-Aid and Jell-O were introduced in the late '80s, but lime Kool-aid quickly disappeared, and these days only lime Jell-O can be found.

Standard Lipton Chicken Noodle Soup except that the noodles were in the shape of alligators or big feet.

Dehydrated soup in several flavors...big in the late 70's and early 80's..The onion soup mix has graced many a party as a dip...

Fruit-flovored corn syrup in a clear, plastic tube. The tube has a rounded end with a small hole in it, which is where you lick the syrup. Comes with a screw-on cap. Usually still found in toy stores.

The had cottage cheese on one side and fruit filling on the other side.

Pizza, Pizza. Yuck, Yuck! The main thing was you got 2 pizza for 1 price. The pizza was crappy. It was crazy. The crazybread was horrible.

I remember everyone had these in their lunches in the 80's. They were *to die for* and if you could get a trade with them that was just great. I used to trade out my pringles for these. They were like Hostess snacks but cheaper. Still made in the US.

Daily Juice Products in Vernon, Pennsylvania started making these in 1985. They were fruit flavored juices in a clear plastic bottle shaped like a barrel, with a tin foil lid. They came in all the usual juice flavors: fruit punch, grape, orange, cherry, strawberry, etc.

Little mini hamburgers served with mustard, ketchup, onion and a few little slices of pickles. They tasted like White Castle hamburgers, just a bit bigger. It brings back so many memories for me. Of summerdays gone by. Wonderful Days

4-6 oz little pop bottles that came in a wooden crate of 24 bottles. Assorted flavors: grape, orange, cherry, rootbeer, cream soda, cola, and lemon lime.

4-6 oz little pop bottles that come in a wodden crate of 24 bottles. Assorted flavor.

Popcorn covered in toffee and nuts. A faviorite among australian pregnant women... well... my mother anyway...

A Hard Candy that came linked in long strips. It was like a sucker on the outside and had a fizzy powder center.

Marginal tasting Coke knock off, but in a 3 liter plastic bottle

Lunch, lunch, lunch!...its Lunchables! These were compact lunches that children could take to school. Each lunchable included crackers, cheese, and coldcuts which could be used to make mini-sandwiches

These were 'chocolate brown' and 'mint green' colored M&Ms with a mint flavor. I used to buy them in/after high school (78-82). Yummy!!

Does anybody remember these? They were by Keebler. They were cookies with choclate fudge in the middle.

A restaurant chain sold these wafer thin meals with filling inside. It was popular on both US coasts, but it wasn't so successful in-between.

A chocoate syrup intended for sundaes that was supposed to turn into a hard shell after a few moments on the cold ice cream. Never really worked as good as the commercials said, but it hung around quite a while, and may still be out there! Haven't seen an ad for it in years though!

They were marshmallows covered in chocolate and filled with raspberry jam on a cookie.

A candy like a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup, with a marshmallow filling. Also, every package contained a promotional card that was worth random points. The points could then be traded-in for novelty items.

It was purple and came in quarts. It was real cheap and tasted like grape juice.

Round Chocolate Candy with like a crunchy center w/ little holes in them. They still exist. I remember the commercials, they were the coolest when I was kid: if you ate one, you became so light you were able to walk on the ceiling and people were just dancing up there!

There were a handfull of glass jarred ready-to-eat pastas in the 80s. I always thought this was the next advance beyond the nasty canned pasta, boy was I wrong! This stuff was SO GOOD I would say it was even better than some frozen pastas of today. Where did it go, and why hasn't anyone brought back this great idea? They put Ragu in jar, this just had the pasta too. It holds MUCH better flavor than canned, and stores way easier than frozen. It was also better than those plastic microwave ones they have by Hormel or whoever. I might have the "Leonne's" spelled wrong. Thanks for a great site! Dave

They were chocolate cookies with a hole in the middle and sugar sprinkled on top. I can't find them anywhere. They were out when I was a kid then they were gone. They brought them back a few years ago and took them away again. They were my favorite cookies.

A chewy candy the came in 3 different flavored long pack. Each flavor had 5 pieces individualy wrapped. Lemon, Orange and Strawberry were the flavors.

They were in a brown plastic pouch, they were tiny little chocolate buds that would melt in your mouth (I'd love to get ahold of some)

It was a "candy bar" about 12 inches long and an inch wide. It was a chewy chocolate. It stretched and the its claim to fame was that it lasted a really long time. I remember a commercial of the (red baron?) in a plane eating one in the sky. They tasted great!

Shasta's promo soda for the new mario game they were about half the size of a regular soda can and they came in 4 flavors; Mario was friut punch,Princess Peach was cherry,Luigi was berry and Yoshi was apple it was cool but the only soda that was actualy good was the Luigi.

The Mars bar was made using chocolate, almonds, and caramel, around since the 50s.

All this was regular marshmallows melted down and put in a jar. You're supposed to make fluffernutters, sandwiches with peanutbutter and this marshmallow spread, but it kind of killed the idea of eating marshmallows. Well, the fluffernutter fad went out with the dogs in the early 1990s.

Remember when wine coolers were all the rage? These were supposedly Australian wine coolers with bizarre commercials. The characters had bad accents and did wacky things.

Run-of-the-mill farina and oatmeals probably still lurking around the back of a bodega.

It went away, but now they have it back on the $ menu. It was the first wavy in chicken sandwich popualrity in the 80's. Call me crazy but it was better than all the redesigns for the chix sand since.

Cinnamon, raspberry and cheese we're my favorites. They also had apple.

This was a odd packaged sandwich that came in a styrofoam container with 2 seperate compartments. One compartment contained half the bun with the hot meat. The other compartment was the top of the bun with the cold mayo, lettuce and tomato. The idea here was as the ad said "keep the hot side hot and the cold side cold"

A very short promotion they were basically onion rings, only there was no ring to them. They came in a small box,and were quite tasty.

It was basically an extended hamburger on a poppy seed bun. It was great because it did not take that long to make plain and I was a picky eater!

Large homestyle biscuits with either sausage, sausage and egg, or bacon, egg, and cheese. Still made today. Very good.

First appeared in the 80's and still going strong

Deep fried apple or cherry pies! Cherry use to be my favorite. They used to be so hot when you got them that they would sizzle and burn your mouth. They were great. Much better than the baked ones that are served now!

In 1986 McDonald's had these small hamburgers that came in rectangular shape box with three inside. There were better than Whitecastles. I ate the whole summer of '86.

These were crazy. They came with a shaker bag, and you could choose flavours like BBQ and Sour Cream and Onion, and what you did was sprikle the powder in the bag with the fries, give them a good shake, and enjoy!

Limited time deal; it was the regular McNuggets but came with teriyaki sauce, sweet and sour, and mustard sauces. They also gave you chop sticks with them.

It came out in the late 80's and tasted like cardboard.

McDonald's McLean Deluxe was rumored to be made out of all sorts of things, but actually was made with extra-lean beef. Very tasty IMHO, but unfortunately died in the early '90s along with most '80s diet food.

Basically a boneless serving of rib meat on a bun with lettuce and tomato... This is not a mainstay, but something they have offered occasionally.

I saw this offered in the Winter of 1988 (November/December), didnt see it afterward. Basically the nuggests came with a different variety of sauces and the meat might have even been marinated a little differentky from the regular McNuggets.

Round vanilla ice cream in wrapper that fit in special shaped cone

Much like surge today, yellow in color, soda.

From Taco Bell... I've not seen the Mexican Pizza originate elsewhere... or at least not before it was introduced by Taco Bell. The Taco Salad may have also originated in the 80s, but I'm not sure.

They were ice cream bars, shaped like Mickey Mouse's head. The face was vanilla ice cream, with chocolate ice cream where the eyes and mouth went. The ears were covered in a chocolate shell. I remember thinking these were one of the best treats ever.

Hamburgers, fries, milkshakes that you could cook in the microwave found in the frozen food section in a red box

Cakes and brownies that you could cook in your microwave. Came with it's own microwave-safe tray to cook it in. They were disgusting!

A shake that you heat up in the microwave. It was for those who didn't know how to boil water, according to the radio ads.

Not really a new food more than adaptation to the introduction of the microwave. Microwave popcorn continues to be a big seller.

It was brownine mix that came with a microwaveable plastic pan. You would make the brownies as usual by adding water and oil to the dry mix but the brownie batter would be poured in the pan and placed in the microwave to cook. The brownies would then cook in the microwave. I think that Pillsbury and Duncan Himes both had them out. I remember them in like 87-88.

Introduced in 1940, but became much more popular in the 80's when they came out with several new flavors. For example, Cherri and Bubb (cherry and bubblegum) which is my all-time favorite. Also, Lem and Mel (lemon and watermelon), which was an odd combo that I didn't care for. Also, Strawbana was awesome (strawberry and banana). I never liked the original Mike and Ike's, but the variations were pretty good.

Basically, a little plastic bottle (containing a milky-yogurt drink) that was packaged in a small carton of four bottles. It tasted very sweet and delicious.

Wafer bars covered with chocolate. Was supposed to have half a glass of milk in each one. Different flavors available, came out in about 1984.

Very very chewy, it was either caramel or toffey drops covered in chocolate, They were good but they stuck to your teeth.

Kinda like Nestle's Quick, but not. It was a chocolate syrup that wouldn't quite dissolve properly in milk. "Milk Mate, Milk Mate... tastes great!"

A mini version of Magic Middles!

It was this funky green/brown coloued gum, made by Bubble Yum. It tasted like some of the best mint chocolate I've ever had! It was out in the very early 80's.

Orange soda with REAL Minute Maid orange juice in it! It came out around 1987.

This was from Dairy Queen and sort of like a slurpee or slush puppy but it was icier and less foamy. You could pick from several flavors (lime, raspberry, cheery, etc). Don't know why they got rid of them--I miss them!

They were penny candy, similar to fruitella, came in fruity flavours. (Maybe only a Canadian thing)

These were cookies that were shaped like they had a bite taken out of them.They may not have been a huge thing or been in every store, but I remember them and I LOVED them.

Popsicles shaped like Frankenstein, Dracula and other scary creatures. Oh how I miss Monster Pops.

It was a sweetened cereal, and the box had comics on it, and the front of the box opened like a flap so there was more funnies. Good reading.

Best flavour of Kool-Aid ever. I think it was a mix of Blackberry, Raspberry, and Strawberry or something, discontinued (in Canada, at least) around 1987-8. I remember the sadness I felt while mixing up the last batch of it, knowing I'd never taste it again...

Mountain Dew Red came out around 1988 but didn't stay on the market for long. It was a red carbonated beverage that tasted terrible.

Made by Fererra Pan (maker of Lemonheads) these were like large green jelly beans flavored like watermelon. They were 25 cents a box and oh so good!!!

Disc-shaped pretzels, about an inch in diameter. Came in a yellow box with cartoon 'Mr. Phipps' on the front.

Thin little pretzels that came in a blue box, like a cereal box.There was a little guy made out of pretzels.

These chips came in small to medium sized red and white bags. They were made by the Gibbles Snack Company. These chips were hot, spicy and good.

Came 2 pouches to a box. My favorite flavor was the mac & cheese. Put the mix in a mug, add hot water and a pat of butter and you're good to go. Scrumptious.

First made by Snickers, then Combo, then Snickers again. Basically peanut brittle with more peanuts.

Half purple and yellow, no one knew what flavor they were, but they were phenomenal.

Cookie made by Nabisco, that consisted of a marshmallow sandwiched between two soft vanilla wafers.

These were a bite-sized version of today's Nature Valley granola bars. hey came in peanut butter, oats and honey and cinnamon. They were little clusters in a colored-packet (same as the bars.)...does anybody remember these?

Thin wafer candies made of the same stuff as those little candy message hearts we all get on Valentine's Day. They came in rolls of assorted flavors or just chocolate.

Dumb name for a soda but cool flavors like Peach and Blue Cream.

Just like regular Oreos, only these had neon-colored filling instead of the normal white. Came in hot pink, blue, yellow, orange and green.

Started in the 80s, these are still around today in the traditional two color packages. Very tart, they come in a small cardboard box with one flavor on one side, and another flavor on the other side.

Basically the same as a Hershey bar with almonds except it was distributed by Nestles. It came in a blue wrapper with white writing. Stopped producing around the late 80's?

Delicious candy bar with a creamy center coated with chocolate/rice krispie covering. Slightly pricier than other candy bars although the size was about the same.

This was a drink made by Nestle around 1989. It was a mix of chocolate milk and coffee, sort of like Autocrat only much sweeter.

Chocolate milk powder in a metal can. Also came in Strawberry and Banana (only Chocolate is still readily available, although Strawberry turns up every once in a while).

Coke tried something new but got shut down. Basically tasted like Pepsi.

Still available in some remote places, I think. Came in a purple bag. The theme song, which I still sing on occasion, was "New York Deli, my purple passion!"

Possibly one of the tastiest non-alcoholic beverages ever. It was seltzer water with a lot of flavor in it so that it sparkled and tasted great. At some point in the early 90's, it ust dissappeared. They came in small bottles with a cartoon picture of the New York cityline on it.

The Fig Newton was originally created before the 80s, a variety of flavors, including strawberry and blueberry, came out sometime in the early-mid 80s.

Cereal that came in two bags, with characters such as Mario and Zelda. The cereal sucked, but the concept was cool.

These small chewy balls were in a box like Nerds and were cherry and blue raspberry. They had a picture of the Noid character from Dominos pizza on the front.

These were sold in schools for like 5 cents a piece.. came in all flavors.. Grape & apple most popular, but think chocolate was a favorite. Mid eightys fad.

Does anybody remember this chocolate drink? It came in a silver packet and was so delicious. It tasted better and nothing like any chocolate powdered drink mix on the market. All I remember is that it was sold by the bulk out of the NYC metro area in the mid 80's and flopped soon after.

Peanut-butter sandwich cookies shaped like peanuts.

Made by Keebler, and that this was their attempt at the potato chip market. Fairly thick potato chips, came in various flavors. The commercial song went "O'Boise's are O-BOISTEROUS!"

A really thick ridged chip, I think that Lays made them in different flavors. My particular favorite was "The Works" They just disappeared off the market. Too bad! They rocked!

The cereal was shaped like oranges and had a cowboy for a mascot character.

I am not sure if this came out in the early 90's or the 80's but it was a new kind of soda sold in silver cans. It had a number to call on the side which was "1-800-Feel-OK" and the commercials were complete madness! It died out. :(

It was oatmeal that came with packets of strawberry, maple brown sugar, or milk chocolate icing to swirl on top after it was cooked.

A chocolate bar with a yellow wrapper a red O and the rest of the letters were brown.

Kind of hard to describe....the best way, I guess, is a waffle-type cheese-flavored chip in circles about as big as half dollars with a very cheesy center...........strange but good.

A distinctively flavored root beer made by Pepsi in the late 70s and early 80s. It had an incredibly frothy head and a real birchy flavor. Was sad to see it disappear.

It was a chocolate flavored peanut butter.

Orange Blossom Popsicle was a vanilla ice cream and orange sherbert mixed popsicle that was so good. They're still sold today in stores as well as in half gallons of ice cream.

It had light shell of orange that tasted like the soda and a cream inside that was out of this world the best ever

Sort of like a smoothie, very frothy, tasty and sweet. They may have had other flavours, but I always had the orange. I hear rumours they still exist, but...My favourite things about the mall in the 80s, Orange Julius and the Rainbow Shop. They were AWESOME.

This was a bubblegum similer to "Tidal Wave". The commercials seemed to identify the gum with the then new space shuttle. It had a liquid center and lost its flavor after five minutes.

Giant sized oreos that came packaged in individual cellophane wrappers and about six to a box. They were large....about 4 inches across and a godsend to those who'd twist apart oroeos and stick em together to make a larger cookie. Took a big glass of milk though!

I can hardly believe nobody made any mention of this. It was vanilla ice cream swirled together with chunks of Oreo cookies and chocolate syrup. It's too bad they don't make this anymore.

They were Oreo cookies with cookies-n-cream ice cream in the middle...mmmmmmm yummmy a favorite of mine.

This was a microwave popcorn that can in a variety of flavors. There was cheddar, sour cream, and nacho cheese. Ater putting the poipcorn in the microwave you opened the bag and sprinkled the flavor seasonings on it. Although, there was never enough in the packet.

They were popsicles that were in bags that you kept in the freezer...had flavors like Alexander the Grape.

The commercials said it was Nestle Quik with more vitamins and minerals. I say it was dirt in a jar.

It was a Chunky sized candy, with a square cookie base and a huge amount of peanut butter on top covered in milk chocolate. I remember eating these in the late 80s, they were the best!

I'm pretty sure that's what this stuff was called. I don't know if it was introduced in the 80's or earlier, but I do know that it disappeared after the 80's. It was cannisters of chocolate or vanilla milk mix. It was more crystal form than powder, and I remember if you put it on ice cream when it started melting it would turn colors.

New Pac Man! Chomp chomp D-licious . With inky pinky and blinky and marshmellow bits you can find inside.

Not sure about the name but it was in a can with a blue wrapper and pac man and the ghosts on the front. It was a chicken flavored sauce with pac man shaped noodles and possibly chicken and vegetable pieces. It was sort of like a chicken flavored Spaghettio's. The consistancy's of the sauces were similar.

There were two kinds. The "Pac Man" was a Pac-Man shaped bar that was yellow and lemon flavored and the "ghosts" which were red and were cherry flavored. Both were on sticks and both had gumballs for eyes. Came out in the early 80's.

Although still big today, these first hit in the 80s.

Made by Chef boy are dee i think. Just like taking a biscut out ...rolling it flat....and spreading on a tomato topping with cheese and pepperoni...like a hot pocket or calzone in the 90's (i remember these coming out after 1986

The commercials said it was "the nuttiest bar in town". A peanut log with caramel and nougat.

It was a regular Payday candy bar covered in chocolate. Really good. I miss those.

It had peanut butter in the middle and nuts all around it. They put it by the fruit roll-ups at the store.

The best candy bar ever made, period! It was a snickers bar that had peanut butter. What more could you ask for.

They were the Pop Tarts we know today, expect they had the peanut butter and jelly filling! They were soooooooo good!

A small individually wrapped Penny candy. Consisting of peanut, caramel and dark chocolate.

Tortilla chips loaded with jalapeno flavored seasoning. I don't know if they were their own company or if FritoLay owned them but they were my favorite - hot & spicy!

They came in a package, simular to the ones today, paper with foil that the cookies come in. I think they were the 80s' maybe the 70's, but I am almost positive they were the 80s. They came in a package of like 6, and they were the BEST store bought brownies ever! I have never bought another brownie that is packaged mass marketed that tasted better. They were wonderful if they were heated up in the Micro. I think they were only available for 1-3 years. I have not seen these in eons....

It was supposed to be the cola you drink in the morning. Being a Pepsi officianado, I never saw the point as the regular Pepsi works just fine for me.

This was the equivalent of Caffeine-Free Pepsi of today, but it tasted alot like Pepsi One does now.

Was Pepsi with a lemon flavor. The bottle was a light blue shade and had a lemon on it.

I can hardly believe they stopped making this stuff. It was in a jar with a cartoon of Peter Pan on the cover.

Chips, Chilli and Cheese. I remember it becoming popular at the World's Fair in Knoxville, TN in 1982

Sometime during the 80's, we had a fad of pickle flavored chips. Actually tasted like pickles, but who wanted pickle flavored chips?

I think this came out in the late 80s--it was chocolate or vanilla frosting with little candy bits in it. There was Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Mix to go with it.

Pine Brothers cough drops were available maybe in the the late seventies, but definetely in the 80's. Back then they were just about in between "gummi" and hard candy. Nowadays if you find them, they are not as chewy. They came in little card board boxes with a wax like bag in side that held the candy. They came in Cherry and Honey flavors. The logo had a spoon pouring syrup in to the candy's actual shape.

They were pink bubble gum pieces shaped like the Pink Panther's paw. THey cam in a little bag of about 20 pieces. They tasted like those Garfield lollipops.

Remember them around 1983 or 1984. Vanilla and chocolate shortbread type cookie cookie with the chocolate shortbread swirled around in a pinwheel design. Nabisco product? Very good, but disappeared from shelves within a few years.

Sugar candy in a straw, predate the 80s.

A newcomer to the food lineup of Taco Bell, now it's resurrected and called Mexican Pizza.

Brought to us by the makers of the Chicko Roll and Corn Jacks, the Pizza Bar had the same crunchy outer but with a cheesy tomato filling. It may have just been an Aussie thing!

Small semi-deep dish pizzas, made to order at Pizza Hut restaurants and in large quantities at airports, college cafeterias and the like. Usually in cheese, pepperoni and supreme.

A really DELSIH Italian maindish pastry from 1985 with a top and bottom crust filled with good things (sauce, lotsa cheese, and various add-ins including VEGGIES!) Truly -- a DELICACY!!!! I loved the spinach one!!!

My best friend and I used to eat these bagS at a time. We can not remember who made them, however, we think it may be wise (with the owl). They were these half moon shaped puff chips, and they were pizza flavored. I believe the bag was green with a see through window. What I wouldn't do for another bag of thoes chips!!

A pizza sauce in a jar that could turn any kind of bread into a pizza! I remember putting it on french bread, regular bread, english muffins, etc. I think it was made by Ragu. I remember the jingle went "Open a jar, of Pizza Quick sauce, and open your own Pizzaria!"

Dorito rip-offs that tasted like pizza. They had a couple different flavors named after different pizza toppings

1/4 cm thick piece of a type of "fruit roll-up" that came in packaging with a denim jean pocket on the front. Not made by the same company as fruit roll ups, though. They were usually found in the Produce Dept. of any grocery store.

They were animal shaped gingery-flavored cookies. They were the perfect ginger snap because they weren't too spicy and just sweet enough. I remember them being in a bag with a logo of a Swedish woman holding a flower or a basket. So many of my friends remember them too.

Popular in the late 80's, string cheese snacks. Came in a few different flavors including cheddar and my favorite pepperoni!! The commercial featured Polly-O the Parret. Might still be around today but I haven't seen them!

It was microwave popcorn but you had to guess with color is would come out to be red,purple,yellow, green, blue. I think it came out like 88 or 89!

These started out in the 70s, and were around in the early 80s until false rumours about drinking soda and chugging Pop Rocks would make your head explode started to circulate. They can be still be found in some stores though.

Found with the chips, it was a light butter corn chip, so addicted to those I could eat the whole box.

You never knew what color it would come out, but after you put it in the microwave it would be blue, green, or pink!

Pop Shoppe Soda (sold in glass 300ml bottles with red and white stripes) was sold throughout the US and Canada. Flavors included Lemon Lime, Cola, Cream Soda, Rootbeer, Grape, Grapefruit, Black Cherry, Sparkle Up (i.e. Sprite, 7UP), Festival Dry (Ginger Ale), Black Berry. Lime Rickey and Cherry Cola. They were delious perfect sized bottles. Pop Shoppe was forced out by Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola when big department stores would get huge discounts by purchasing large lots of product (mostly inexpensive cans), dropping prices below the prices of Pop Shoppe (the deposit on the bottles added as much as $.30 per bottle, which would be refunded of course, but this hurt them).

Little pack of gum cigarettes that were pink with a red tip, Plus each one was wrapped in a paper roll, and sprinkled with powdered sugar, to give you that smoking a cigarette realism. When you blew on the paper the powdered sugar would puff out, and voila! 2nd hand sugar! Had popeye on the front of the box. Not sure why this was a good idea for kids, but I loved them at the time!

Crisp cereal corn puffs coated with sugar(like Super Golden Crisp)with Popeye smiling on the 1 1/2 pound bag.

The gum was just like Big League Chew except it was green and it had Popeye on the front. It was green because spinach is green.

Like cheetos but had an indian girl on it with her hair in 2 braided piggy tails. My grandpa seemed to have a never ending supply we loved to go over there and eat our pow wows and was it RC cola that we drank?

This cereal was basically like Cheerio's, but it was covered in powdered sugar. The TV commercial featured a cartoon with talking powdered donuts.

I think it was chocolate with caramel.

Pudding on a stick in chocolat, vanilla, or swirled. Quite possibly the most missed food of the 1980's!!!

Similar to fruit roll-ups. Had three kids in the commercial dressed like PIs, and the slogan was "Pudding in Disguise." They came in Chocolate, Chocolate Fudge, and I think one other flavor. There are no doubt some still congealing on a shelf in Big Lots stores all over the USA!

It was a pastery of sorts with a jelly center. They don't make this stuff anymore and it's a shame.

A spin off of Captain Crunch, Punch Crunch looked alot like Captain Crunch's Oops All Berries, with loads of pink crunchberries and little else. A hippo in a sailor suit was on the cover.

Willy Wonka candies that were oval shaped and had a bumpy texture.

Malt drink grape flavored. Came in 2L bottles.

Grape and Lemonade Kool-Aid from the 80s. The packet was purple with a purple dinosaur that would most certainly be able to whomp on Barney. Alas, they don't make it anymore, so you now have to buy a grape and lemonade packet in order to make the Purplesaurus Rex goodness today.

Basically a lollipop that looked like a tube of lipstick. You pushed up the pop from the bottom of the tube.

It was orange sherbert inside a cardboard tube. There was a little stick attached so you sould push it out of the cardboard. Always melted on your hands!

Little crackers in the shape of a duck. They came in a box, and had sour cream and cheddar cheese flavors.

The counter part to Quisp cereal. Quake was a Cowboy and Quisp was an Alien. They had a contest to see who was more popular, Quisp won and they killed off Quake.

These came after the traditional hard granola bars, and had chocolate chips and the such added.

Green colored soda; made from four different types of fruit. Introduced in 1982; disappeared soon after '85. Advert featured a punk head-butting a vending machine to get a can. May have only been available in Europe.

golden yellow and crunchy, shaped like tiny bowls and tasted like cap'n crunch

One of the first caffeine free sodas--RC 100's got nothin--no sugar and no caffeine...nothin' but taste. there was also a version which was decaf but had sugar.

Royal Crown Cola (originated before the 80's, but it became big in New England around 1980-81.) It only sold in my area in discount department stores like Ames and Zayre's. Basically, they stepped up their advertising around the time of the "Cola Wars".

Based on the Rainbow Bright cartoon/dolls. Pretty much a generic(sp) fruit loops.

Seems like around 1985 everything became "Ranch Flavored". I really like the Ranch Doritos, and still do, but the "Ranch Invasion" was a bit over the top.

Every party I went to in the 80's had a vegetable tray and Ruffles coupled with that good old Hidden Valley Ranch dressing.

Late '80s-It was a fruit-punch-flavored soda in a silver-ish can. I used to always walk up to CVS (drug store) after school and get one. Their slogan was "Nobody famous drinks it". I loved it.

Another of those "is it a candy or a gum" foods. They may have come out in the 70's, but I remember them from the 80's They were little piece of candy that, when chewed, crumbled and if chewed long enough turned to gum (if you could call it that)

They were small red, cherry-flavored, fish-shaped, gummy-type candies made by Malaco(?). They were my favorite and sold for a penny apiece. I have not seen them in years.

Laces-style licorice was around way before the 80's, but was popular and longer (like hair) in the 80s.

Pretty much a Reeses Peanut Butter cup, but with crunchy peanut butter. They used to come in a dark brown wrapper identical to the original orange one.

E.T. phone home... Elliot needed to leave a trail of something behind, and Mars the makers of M&M's wouldn't let Speilburg use M&M's, so he used these instead. A peanut butter flavored candy in much the same shape and size.

Candy bar with peanuts and caramel covered in chocolate, named after the slugger 'Mr. October', Reggie Jackson.

It was dark blue and Purple and the middle was filled with a jelly type of iceblock.

Believe these were created in the mid-late 80s. Basically a bunch of rice stuck together in little circular disks. Not the greatest tasting food nor do they fly very well.

The jewelry you can eat! These are lollipop type things that were on plastic rings. (predated the 80s)

I think that is what they were called. They were small round hard candies that came in a box divided into two colors like nerds-- only the box was split horizontally instead of vertically and it was regtangular instead of square. Do you know what I'm talking about? I used to get them all the time when I was little.

Ripplins were potato chips that had--yep--ripples. I don't remember if there were other flavors. The commercial had something to do with R-R-R-rip open the bag I think. The bag was blue with Ripplins written on it in yellow I think with a picture of the chips on it. Nothing special really, just a potato chip, but they were super yummy. I really miss those. Ripplins and O'Boises were staples in my household. YUM!!! I so wish those would make a comeback.

Was a sweet wine, came in a sleek designed bottle. I remember 2 flavors, ed and white. It was aimed to appeal at the more sophisticated types at half the price. The slogan went, "Riunite on ice, that's nice." https://www.riunite.com

Flat 5" long ginger bread cookie with pink icing on top.Came two in a pack. The wrapper was blue&white with music notes on it.

It was macaroni and cheese that had the noodles shaped like musical instruments. There were trumpets and saxophones. This was my favorite kind of mac and cheese and I remember it was around in 1985!

Those small, multi-colored SweeTart-like candies that came wrapped in plastic that was twisted on either end. It made up the majority of your Halloween candy bag, and the name made you think that you were eating real astronaut food!

Marshmallow covered with chocolate and crushed nuts - candy bar

It was a cereal with marshmallows mixed with chocolate and vanilla,real sugary and sweet.

Like Fruit Loops...only all orange in flavor and color. It had a cowboy on the box...the O's were suppose to resemble his lasso.

Roller Coasters were wavy like raviolli's probabably made by Chef Boy Ardee and came in a can.

They were sold like a candy bar, but they were little, individual, caramel filled chocolate cups or bon-bons that were rolled up like lifesavers (on their sides). Very delicious.

I remember this chili was just around for a short while back around 1987 or 1988. I believe it was only sold on the West Coast. A local TV station had a 50s dance party show and gave away cases of this chili to winners of different dance contests. Personally I thought the chili was OK (I preferred Dennisons better).

Kind of like carbonated Lemonade

Bite Sized- Dove Bars: "Two bites of heaven". Absolutely terrific!

The M&M's company put these out in the mid to late eighties. They were mint chocolate candies that came in brown and green colors. They were larger than M&M's and very delicious. This is one candy from the eighties that I really miss.

It was a type of gum. It came in a little milk-carton shaped box. Little round pieces of gum, supposed to look like rocks, I guess. (Rubble)

A snack treat that was a cluster of honey oats and nuts. I don't remember too much about them, but I remember I loved them. I think there were a couple choices of flavorings, but again, I don't remember.

Fruit-shaped candies made by Willy Wonka.

Early-Mid 80's: Sort of knock-off of M&M's. Different coloured candies with a milk chocolate center. The sloagan was simple and to the point: "When you eat your Smarties do you eat the red ones last?"

I am not sure exactly how popular this food item was or how long it was on the market. I recall buying and eating these snacks around 86' when I was a kid. Picture a combos cut in half only the outside was a puffy rice shell with different flavored fillings. French Onion was a favorite as I recall.

"Lollipops are dangerous! Kids can gag on the stick!", cried parents. So out came a lollipop with a looped stick for safer sucking.

A nut covered in a salty sour taste. But very delicious and popular

A tasty non-alcoholic beverage with 0.9% in it - drink enough quickly at the age of 12 and you might get a buzz - whether is was from being bloated and high on sugar or the alcohol - it didn't matter. Might have only been in Canada.

Caramel corn that came in clusters.

A plastic cone filled with vanilla ice-cream. At the bottom there was a different colored gumball. Blue was always the best...When the ice cream started to melt the blue dye ran through it.mmmmmmm..........

Best wine cooler ever. Absolutely delicious. Can't believe they stopped making them.

I was only about three when I had these and I wish I could have one now. I think they were from the 80's. They were in a green/gold wrapper with a little white tray made from cardboard, it was chocolate in a long circular shape with a truffley centre, ( I think ). All I know was they were delicious!!!

Seven up with a slight ginger ale/cola flavor. I liked it

The Seven-Up was a chocolate bar with 7 sections with different centers (like candy-box-style chocolate). I remember flavors like butter cream, caramel, coconut, etc. My favorite!

Really thick milkshake; came in a little milk carton..they were soooo good.

You added milk (I believe) to the box, shook it up, and made a shake-a-puddin' (pudding) Can't remember who made these things...

BEST. FLAVOR. EVER. Pink Kool-Aid that tasted like cherry/watermelon-esque? I bought a TON of packets when I heard they were going to stop making it. WIsh they'd bring it back.

Soda - the commercial had sexy women with glossy lipstick all ooo-ooo puckery singing this: "I want a thrill, I want a wow, I want it all, I want it NOW. I want a POP (pop pop), I want a Shhhhhhh-AS-ta." Remember?

These old-fashioned bottles of non-alcoholic beer are still sold today...also come as Birch Beer and Ginger beer.

These were great! Made by Motts (I think), these were a packaged collection that contained both a boxed fruit drink and a boxed snack item (like animal crackers, cookies, etc). They both had matching yellow boxes, affixed together. The television commercial used a catchy jingle that went: "sip 'n snack, it's something you eat. It's something you eat and something you drink..."

These milk drinks came in chocolate and strawberry flavors, I remember. A blueberry "smurf" flavor may have been added at some point. The container was cardboard and rectangular shaped. I haven't seen these since some point in the mid-80's. I miss these.

It came in a can probably chef boyardee it had little alligator shaped pasta and crown shapes.The commercials had a alligator type cartoon character sitting on a throne wearing a crown.I remember this because my little brother wanted to eat it for lunch everyday in the summer.It tasted like really bad spagetti o's

It was bacon but it was supposed to be less fattening...the commercial went "Move over bacon. Now there's something leaner!"

The snack food of choice consisted of cookie stiks in a cup with chocolate frosting in a container next to it.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned these yet- I think they came out in the 80's. I was in 4th grade (1985) when I first saw the commercial- I remember one girl had them in her lunch bag one day- we were all begging her to give us ONE PIECE! The strawberry flavor was hands down the most popular flavor at school (good for trading!) I think they still use the same slogan in the commercials "taste the rainbow". Yum!

Similar to a Heath bar,but one piece instead of 2 small chocolate covered toffee.My old favorite!

These were little white soft candy "skulls" that oozed red cherry-flavour goo when you bit into them. Gross but good!

Slice gained popularity because they included fruit juice (10%) with normal soda. Flavors included lemon-lime, cherry cola, orange, and several others.

A spicy meat snack made with beef, pork and poultry by-products.

Slime Slurps... Delicious little gelatin-like gummi candies placed in a molded piece of plastic with an easy to peel-off saran-wrap type "lid" - 6 in a package (ie: spiders or other bugs), which you would peel out of the mold and slurp... Hence the name.. Slime-Slurps? Remember these?

Popular in the early 80's. Fruit flavoured, crushed ice drinks, loads of colouring agents.

It came in a package you had to rip open and the pieces of gum were in the shape of a puppy's paw print. It came in different flavors like cherry, grape, orange, etc. It tasted pretty good, but the flavor ran out too quick.

These were fruit flavore syrup in a small plastic tub thatyou would put in the freezer over-nite and when you got up the next morning you would stir it up with your spoon to make it slushy. The only two flavors that i can remember were grape and cherry. They were awsome!!

They were round french fried potatoes and the eyes and smile were cut out....they were just like dinosaur french fries...the best french fries I've ever had!!!

They we smores that were already made, and were in packs. You microwaved them to melt the chocolate and marshmellow.

Blue Marshmellows

Canned pasta...similar to spaghetti-o's. Remember the commercial? "Papa Smurf...Gargamel's stolen all of our food!" So Papa Smurf whipped up this magical treat and shared it with the world...thanks for nothing, Papa Smurf. I remember it came in three different varieties...I think they were plain, w/meatballs, and w/cheese.

This was hands down the BEST cereal I have ever eaten. Blue and pink round pieces... you could eat them out of the box and it was like eating candy! I'm so sorry it doesn't exist anymore.

Snack Pack Pudding came in a flip-top can, was not refrigerated. Best tasting chocolate pudding I've EVER had.

These were tiny little pizzas that came in a toaster oven tray, with about 12-18 of those minature pizzas. They were three different types of pizzas in each box, plain cheese, pepperoni&cheese, and sausage&cheese.

It was a moist bready cake you would bake. The box showed the "cake" cut up in a perfect square.

Snapple, the bottled juice drinks of the 90s, was created in the 80s!

A Hostess-type cake snack..... Half-dome shaped. Creme-filled chocolate cake covered in a layer of marshmellow, then covered in bright pink coconut. Very good. There was also a version that resembled baseballs that came out later. The fun part of it was that you could peel off the marshmellow/coconut layer and eat it separately.

Chocolate small round shaped candy with white flaky frosting on top in a white rectangular box

This Pennsylvania company also made pretzels, but it was the bizarre flavors of chips such as grilled steak, barbeque chicken, and honey mustard that distinguished it's snacks from the bigger companies.

I know these tiny, soapy tasting, stick to your teeth, chewy candies were a real hit amongst the kids when I was in 5th/6th grade. One of the only places that they could be found was the "candy hut" at Sears. I haven't seen them at all in years. As silly as it seems now, we really enjoyed trying to figure out what kind of "soap" made each colorful little morsel.

Soda flavored gummy's that were shapped like soda pop, Rootbeer, Coke, and orange

It was ice cream in a cone shaped package, with a plastic top that you squeezed the ice cream through to resemble- you guessed it- soft-serve type ice cream. The commercial jingle went "New Soft Swirl, it's like a soft ice cream machine."

Chocolate chip cookies that were packaged, but remained soft and chewy

Basically freeze dried soup ingrediants-just had to add water. Came in a tall canister.

These are still available, but I believe they came out in the 80's. I used to get them for a penny a piece at the corner store.

Sour Power was a long red chewy candy (similar to Twizzlers) and it had a sugary coating that was also sour. They didn't come in packaging because they were kept in a plastic container on the store's counter, and they were sold by the quantity. They were around in 1988 and I'm not sure if they are still being sold.

Tasted kind of like the cool ranch ones of today,but were much better. They came in a green bag and were awesome.

I don't THINK these came out before the 80s, though I might be wrong. I seem to remember them becoming big during the vegetarian craze that sweep the nation during the mid 80s

All non-chain burger stores in Scandinavia introduced the Space Burger in the early 80's. Consisted of a circular slice of pineapple on top of a well-stuffed and mayo-dressing-soaked quarterpounder. Tasted pretty weird, but as kids we loved that. This was HUGE over here

Space Dust: It was a sort of sugary citrus powder which came inside of plastic rocket ships. There were a couple of different flavors, and a lot of different containers...maybe even some asteroids.

Shaped liked Kit-Kats, but kind of a prehistoric power bar. Had a nice chemical taste (not bad really) that made it seem space-age.

These were bought usually at musuems in the gift shop. It was a tri-colored piece of dry milk. It had three flavor strips, vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. It was kind of nasty, didn't taste like ice cream at all, but a must have.

Came in a can like spaghetti, but cheesy. Round little noodles. Only the best!

I don't know if they still make them but I haven't seen them in ages. They were Spaghetti-O's with little hot dogs in it. It tasted really yucky, though!

Spiral shaped Fritos, they were nacho-cheese flavored. I remember these when I was in middle school.

White sweet and sour candy covered with a hard sugar shell. It came in rainbow colors.

Lived a short life. Came out in early to mid 80's. Sold usually at the counter in a large jar. Light in color, was probably the best tasting chocolate chip cookie next to homemade.

Came in a tube and you squeezed it onto crackers, etc. Like Cheez Whiz in a tube. I think there was a red tab on the top!

I think it was called that, but I might be wrong. It was basically a Squeez-it with Jell-o instead of juice. Quite a delicious treat.

Plastic bottle filled with a kool-aid type drink that was squeezable and comical faces on the bottle.

Came in a red package. Plain cookie with a chocolate swirl in the middle. Not made anymore, believed to be made in the 80's

One of the earlier punch box drinks that came out about '83 or so, shortly after Capri Sun. Had an animated commercial with some dancing, singing lips.

These cookies, made by Pepperidge Farm, came out in 1983 with Return of the Jedi. They came in chocolate or vanilla and were in the shape of different characters - soooo good after a day at the beach.

It was the '80s version of the Nutrageous candy bar: peanut butter and caramel on the inside with the chocolate outside. The commercials had people in stressful and timely situations, and once they started eating this candy bar, they became mellow. For example, one had a race car driver making a pit stop during a race who starts eating this candy bar. Everyone is rushing to get his tires changed etc. and the guy just sits there calmly eating his StarBar while everyone is screaming for him to go.

Soft sugary candy with different flavors by starburst

They were flat pieces of frozen meat that came in a box with a piece of paper between each one. You cooked 'em in a skillett and ate them on a bun or bread.

A gimmick gum that came out sometime around '88. It's big sales pitch was that of economy. Wherein a typical (at that time) Wrigley's pack carried 7 sticks, The Sticklets pack carried nine slender sticks. Both packs were the same size, yet the Sticklets packs had the gum "cut" parallel to the shorter side of the pack so as to make 9 sticks instead of 7.

A regular Twinkie, but inside, instead of cream filling, it had a strawberry filling.

Strawberry shortcake cereal was a cereal that was in effect after the creation of the strawberry shortcake dolls. The cereal box had a picture of strawberry shortcake on it, and the cereal itself looked like Kix!!!.

I remember these!! no one else ever does, I wish they would bring em back

Another product which may have originated earlier(I'm not sure), but that I know had a surge in the 80s.

I remember this brownie because it was the best brownie I've ever had! The brownie was always moist and the chocolate was so good with only a few nuts on top of the chocolate just like I like it.

Awesome crackers shaped like miniature hot dogs with nacho cheese filling inside. Couple of different types, nacho, jalapeno & salsa. Best crackers ever!!

A tasty snack that had various toppings in a half shell crisped rice base. I recall sour cream and onion were a personal favorite. I do not recall the year which they came out, but I do remember purchasing this product around 1986.

It was caramel on a stick...real buttery & sweet tasting. Came in a yellow wrapper with red lettering. Can still be found in some small local candy stores.

Was the same as a sugar daddy, except it was covered in chocolate. On a stick, just like the daddy.

summit was a candy bar,kind of reminds me of a twix.

It was similiar to the layout of TWIX by having two skinny bars in the silver wrapping paper. It really wafery and tasted great.

Made by Keebler company; octagonal-shaped small wheat crackers topped with seseame seeds. Sweet, yet salty taste. Came in a yellow box.

Being a "Child of the 80s", I can't help myself ... Suncheros by Keebler. They were like Doritos, and came in Dorito-type flavors (Nacho Cheese, Pepperoni Pizza, etc), and I distinctly remember the jingle: "Suncheros ... Suncheros light-n-crispy, cuz they're made my poquenos Keeb-le-rooos."

Sundance was a non-alcoholic beverage that I haven't seen since 1989 or shortly afterward. It was packaged in glass bottles. After searching to purchase some online, I found an article that said it was manufactured by Stroh Brewery Company in the '80's, but now by another company.

A sparkling (carbonated) fruit juice in (what I remember to be) combined flavors. Similar to Clearly Canadian in taste, but were colored to suit the type of "juice" used in the drink.

Fruit candies came in Orange, Lemon, Cherry and Lime. They were rond candy gels covered with sugar crystals. They came individualy wrapped in a clear plastic wrapper.

This was an orangy tang sort of flavor and it came out around 1983 or 1984. It was my all time favorite!!!

These 8-oz plastic juice bottles were filled with the highest concentration of sugar I think I've ever ingested. They were sold in the produce section of grocery stores in fun and colourful flavors including lime, orange, and cherry. Perfect drink for pounding after soccer practice.

An orange drink, very tangy, and very gross IMHO. Commercials always featured kids playing soccer, hence the name "socco" I guess. It came in juice boxes(tetra pacs), don't remember what the boxes looked like exactly, but they had a soccer ball on them...

I remember having this stuff around 1980. Before that Skippy was the brand of choice in our house. Superman was a little bit sweeter and therefore replaced Skippy in our house, until they stopped making the Superman PB. It had a black label with the comic book Superman cartoon on it, and the Superman logo. I loved that stuff!

This "Crystal Light" type drink with calcium was test-marketed in the Sacramento area in 1984: "Give your thirsty bones the drink they need! Help keep your body beautiful! New Supree-eee-eeee! It's Calorie free! Give your thirsty bones they drink they need...Help keep your body beautiful...New Supree-eee-eeee!" Cheesy Flop!

Of course it had been around long before the 80's, but it became a mainstay in the US in the 80's (note it was specifically mentioned in the movie "Valley Girl".

Almost exactly like a Devil Dog, been around forever.

The beginning of the sour candies, this was much sweeter than the sour candies out now. They were chewy,sour, and fruity at the same time and came in the regular half-inch size, and the big one-and-a-half-inch size.

It was a lifesaver type candy that was apparently sugar free. It came in a lifesavers type package and was full of fruit flavors. Hands down the best sugar free candy of all time.

They were probably almost the size of a nickel. Came in a clear wrapped roll that twisted on the end. Of course they were circular and each had a heart in the middle with a sweet saying. The candy was sweet with a tangy fizzling taste.

I absolutely believe that Swiss Miss Chocolate pudding is the best premade pudding ever. I like other flavors too,(vanilla, tapioca, butterscotch, etc.) but the chocolate was special!! Oh and the little swiss girl, I used to want to look like her.

Smooth milk chocolate w/ almond bits and pieces of chipped toffee. The "sophisticated candy bar." Those were so good, but I don't see them in stores anymore.

The diet soda in the pink can. It had only one calorie. Immortalized in "Back to The Future".

I first remeber having this in Fall of 1988, it might have been first introduced then. It tasted a little different from the chicken soft tacos they have in it's place today, i guess it had grilled onions and a different sauce. I remember them offering it in 1989 as well but might have changed it in 1990 to a Chicken Soft Taco as a part of its value menu (the chicken soft taco was offered for .79). After 1989, I dont remember seeing the chicken fajitas, only the slightly different chicken soft taco was offered.

Basically, an overgrown version of the current Taco Supreme, the shell was bigger than the usual tacos...the first time I ever heard of Sour Cream, much less what you could put it on. A mainstay in my diet at the time, debuted roughly 1985.

Taco Pizza at Pizza Hut. It was great!! It had seasoned ground beef, taco sauce, tomatoes and lettuce added after cooking to stay cool. Maybe they still have it. Haven't been to an actual pizza place in years. We always get delivery now.

Regular lettuce salad with ground beef, refried beans, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, cheese and other fixings. Just like a taco and served in a large tortilla shell bowl. I don't know where they originated but I used to have them at Denny's all the time.

This was a microwavable burrito style food sold in 7-11 stores. A big gulp and a taco snack would get me through the middle of the night paper route.

From Taco Bell, deep fried flour shell, filled with taco fillings. Light, crunchy, flaky...Loved these!

It is a bright red soda. sweet but very good.

Powdered drink concentrate used to make and imitation orange fruit drink. Very popular in Australia, in jar like instant coffee with green flip lid. Awful tasting stuff.

This taffy was the BOMB JIGGY! Wayyy better than Laffy Taffy cuz of the sour taste.

Came out in 1983 when the tarheels won the championship, the soda was blue, I lived in NC at the time and I am not sure if it found its way all the way around america. The deal was, it was blue, it tasted like regular cola but was blue, heh heh, I'll be darned.

I believe they were from the same makers as regular Sweet-Tarts. They came in a small box and were very small cylinder-shaped tarts. (They also tasted like regular Sweet-Tarts.)

Chocolate-frosted chocolate cupcakes with or without cream filling; originated in Philadelphia.

Created by the Keebler Corporations, Tato skins boasted a potato chip that left the skin on the chip. Other version of this type of chip have also appeared on the market.

Teddy Grahams were graham cracker cookies that also came in different flavors. There were chocolate, honey, graham, and cinnamon. They started here, and I remember the commercials for them with the Teddy Graham bears in a rock band or something lol.

It was a Sprite like soda. Clear with a lemon lime flavour.

It was a pie with a green pudding filling, I think Hostess made them,you could find them in convenience stores I remember.

It was similar to Lucky Charms. Really Really good on saturday mornings watching 3 straight episodes of the turtles on Fox! One promotion had cereal bowls with one turtles head on it. I have Mikey!!!

I remember that they came in a plastic box shaped like a ninja trutle. The cookies tasted like cardboard, but the box was cool.

These were in the frozen food section, and pretty gross, now that I look back. They were pretty small, and you microwaved them, and of course had all the turtles on the box eating pizza.

Chewy orange nougat with a chocolate coating

Just what the title describes.

Came out during the Michael Jackson craze, I remember selling Now and Laters out of my 3rd grade desk in school. Not being able to drive, we had kids that lived across town buy in bulk and I would sell for twice the price to kids in the school's immediate neighborhood.

Purple gum, in a package like chiclets, and tasted like soap. It was cheap so we would always buy it - gross!!!

Thrills gum was probably only out in Canada - the reason people remember it is because it tasted like soap - Why? Who knows.

Thunder Jets--"The fruit snack that goes fast!" Great tasting.

if i can remember we had the traditional flavored tic tacs, but in the early 80s there was tropical flavoured ones.. anyone else remember these? (im in australia, maybe america didnt get these)

They were a Spaghetti-O's spin off that had many catchy Saturday morning commercials. They were quite tasty and popular with my Mom - probably because they were cheap.

It was a roll of gum shaped like a tootsie roll. It was good.

A cheese flavored cracker, about an inch and a half long, and quarter inch thick. With rounded edges. Prelude to cheese nips? and Cheeze-its?

Bubble gum with a gooey liquid center. When you bit into it it gushed everywhere. The commercials were a blast!!! Everytime the hero bit into a piece a tidal wave would wash over! Starburst ripped it off in the mid- ninties.

Tiger Red was a wonderful red creme soda that came in a metallic red can with the outline of a white tiger. This was popular around the late 70's early 80's.

Little cylinder shaped sweet tarts. Now they are candy coated and re-named tart-n-tiny

Ultra-rich, really tasty, high priced Swiss chocolate bar with honey and almonds mixed in. Came in a triangular tube box that kept it fresh, and made in little mountain shaped sections with each letter of the name "Toblerone" stamped in them back and forth. Produced in milk, dark and white chocolate. They were advertised every night on "Wheel Of Fortune", back when Vanna actually turned letters.

Toffeefay (sp??): it was a caramel-toffee cup with some sort of hazelnut in the center and a chocolate coating on top of it.

This was an important from Holland. It was a pudding-like drink in a milk-sized carton; came in chocolate or vanilla flavors. Very delicious. Circa, 1985-1986 era.

Smaller versions of Tootsie Pops w/o the stick; similar to new mini Tootsie Pops, but again w/o the stick.

A four inch cylinder shaped fruit snack of a tough/chewy consistency. One flavor/color on the outside and another in teh middle. The commercial showed two kids watching TV while the 'Tooty Fruities' would sneek around the house like inch worms.

Thin, crispy crackers with crunch flavored toppings created by Frito Lay. Flavors - Pizza, & Octoberfest Cheddar.

Corn chip similar to Dorito's, but round in shape. Came in two flavors, white-bagged plain and yellow-bagged cheese.

It was flavored soda that came in all sorts of Flavors Lemon, Lime, Grape, Orange, Cherry, Strawberry and others I am sure

They sold them here in New Zealand, They kinda had a cola shell, and the inside was kind of like cola Jello, Artifical tasting, but still nice!

Im not sure of the name,but they were hard tart candies in a little plastic trash can in different colors,I used to eat them in the mid 80's.

These were bite-sized mint chocolate chip flavored cookies that came in a pouch, I think they were made by Keebler in the later part of the decade. They were really good but didn't stay around very long!

The only sugar-free gum that actually passed my taste test and tasted almost like it was "real" gum, which my Mom wouldn't let me have. Reminded me of Juicy Fruit and is no longer made that I can find.

A delicious tropical fruit flavored Ice-pop. It was striped with three different flavors (one was probably a melon, one pinapple and I don't remember the other) and I was only able to get them off of the Ice Cream truck. Once when I got one, my mother tasted it and ate the whole thing on me. I still remind her of it/

It was a frozen cocktail in a variety of flavors, much like today's Bacardi mixers, but the alcohol was already in it. Aparently the alcohol content wasn't all that high, because my parents let me have one once in a while and I was under the age of 10

Came out before Ghostbusters Slimer gum. It was this horribly smelly artificially flavoured pink gum that came in a tube. I used to love this stuff until they stopped making it in favour of Slimer Gum. Damned obnoxious fad.

It was a seasoning put out by Nabisco in the 80's. It came in packets about the size of a hot chocolate packet. You could add it to your tuna salad. There were about 3 flavors if I remember correctly.

It was a seasoning packet that you added to tuna salad, and it was awesome!

This was the best! It was a chocolate bundt cake, and it had a thick pudding that you put in the center, all the way around the cake. Then it baked up over it, and you had this "tunnel of fudge" running through the entire bundt cake. I MISS it! Also, they had a Macaroon cake. Same thing, but with coconut.

Chocolate candy...with waffer and caramel taste.

I believe Peanut Butter was the first flavour Twix came out with, Caramel following soon after. It was my favourite and I was glad to see they came out with them again a few years ago. Originally had orange writing and Caramel had red. In the late 80's-early 90's there was Cookies n' Cream (blue writing) and Chocolate Cream (purple writing), too.

Red licorice -- commercials with "makes mouths happy"

Pronounced 'TOO-kees' they were similar to today's Little Debbie Nutty Bars except Twookies did not have peanut butter in them. Just flavored wafers covered in chocolate.

Intergalactic canned pasta. Had UFO-shaped noodles, beef ravioli, etc. I believe this was a Chef Boyardee product.

Oatmeal with gummy bears

Square-ish mints with flavor crystals.

The best and strongest ginger-ale i ever tasted !!

Vesta was a popular food item in our house in the mid eighties. It was basically a forerunner of the microwave dinner thing but none of us had a microwave. It was freeze dried Chinese food or Indian food...I remember being violently ill after eating the most sickly chow mein with these weird noodles that you fried in oil and they puffed up in the pan..gross... I didn't eat chinese food again for almost 20 years because I thought it was how all chinese food tasted..

I believe these were from Betty Crocker. Made from a box-mix they had a taste that was rather unique and unlike anything currently available. Solid base with a chewy middle and crisp top. Taste was like a mix of brown sugar and coconut.

Wonka candy that pre-dated nerds (I think), small nerd-shaped candy bits, came in mixed primary colors, had a less sugary flavor than nerds.

Chocolate cookie on one side, shortbread cookie on the other, ice cream in the middle with a picture of a WWF superstar on the shortbread side. Very 80's!!

Candy shaped like a silver dollar. With flavors like green apple,banana, cherry, blue raspberry. It is made by Willy Wonka.

Had the consistency of poprocks, but tasted like wacky wafers and didnt fizzle, made by Wonka.

The box had different old west cartoon scenes on it. It tasted kind of like maple waffles. Very tasty! Tasted better than the Waffle Crisp that is out now.

I think this drink came out during the Australian craze of the mid-80's. I remember it tasted like flat Mountain Dew and the commercial jingle was really catchy. "Drink me Walaby Squash mate, drink me Walaby Squash"!!!

It was supposed be be an Australian drink, I cant remember if it was carbonated or not, but the comercial had a catchy tune "whats a wallaroo, whats a wallaroo..."

We used to get these wax bottles that resembled small glass Coke bottles. You'd bite the top off and drink the fruity liquid inside.

Wax lips were pretty much that- wax lips. They were big and red and you could chew on them. They were sugary,and sweet.

Small packages of Dried Apples. They were huge in the mid-80's and kids used to bring them to school as a snack.

These were basically flat crescent roll dough squares made to fit the size of a whole hot dog. They were discontinued in the early 80's.

The flavors were Grape and Strawberry

A dessert from Wendy's... 1/2 apple wrapped in crust w/ spice flavored syrup on top. Excellent with a chocolate frosty.

Who can forget those old ladies looking at their burger inside the bun the size of a quarter and one of the ladies saying "wheres the beef?"

Rock hard,long, thin chewy pink sweet

The chocolate/peanutbutter crisp candy bar that had the commercials where no one could figure out what the name of the candy was (except the person holding the candy bar)

These were wheat crackers similar to saltines. They were brown and yucky tasting. They came in a box half the size of regular saltines.

This was a chocolate bar with a whipped chocolate center that melted in your mouth.

Lollipop shaped like a whistle. It had a red plastic stick in the end you could move up and down while you blew into the other end to produce a slide whistle effect. And when you were done whistling on it, you could eat it!

White Mountain Coolers started out with one flavor which was lemon lime (like mountain dew with alcohol).

Taco Bell had their original Taco's except they had white corn shells. Along with the 59, 79, 99 TV ads

little chocolate balls that came in packs of 5 or 6. they had a biscuit center that seems to liquify in your mouth. kinda yucky but popular with kids all over. still avaiable today

It was chocolate covered caramel in the shape of a braid!

This crappy line of soft drinks was the breakfast of champions when I was young. The flavors included: Cola, Diet Cola, Rootbeer, Grape, Orange, Cherry, & Lemon Lime. Awful, but it sure did seem like the drink of the gods all of those late night weekends playing Nintendo!

...in 2 liter plastic bottles!

Pretty tart-tasting citrus soda.

Chocolate bar, yellow wrapper, tasted very like a Catch bar, only nicer, and a few pence cheaper. A Catch bar was 22p and a Winner was only 18p, and you know what a difference that made when you were a kid. I've no idea who made it. (Prices are irish pence, from the good old days before the euro)

I'm not completly sure if these were made after the 80s or not, but I was born in '82 and I remember these from when I was young. They were in a blue or green bag that had an owl on it.

White fizzy sherbet in little individual packets with small shovel shaped spoons to eat with, from australia

Kraft made a carmel wrap that you put around apples and put them in the oven and bake. I would love to see that commercial again. It had three little kids trick or treating and this lady gives them all wrapples. The music in the commercial so funny to me. It sounded like how an alien would sound if one sang.

These Tamales came in a white wrapper. You either got a large one or could buy a bag with 3 tamales in it. No company will ever make a tamale that tasted like these!!

It was a kind of yogurt as a kid I ate & loved. It came in many flavors & had fruit at the botton. The kinds i tried were cherry, blackberry, raspberry, peach, strawberry, blueberry, even a walnut flavor. I always looked forward to them, yummm.

These came in packages and were either in all vanilla or different colors. They were located on the same shelves as Fruit Rollups.

Kind of like watered down chocolate milk, it came in a yellow bottle.

Sorta like the the original, which is still sold here(Nantucket). It is darn good.

Okay, I'm not *sure* if this was 80s or 90s but remember Yop, the drinkable yogurt? I think it's still around in some form today, I just remember seeing Yop commercials while watching Pee Wee Herman on TV (now that's gotta be 80s!) Correct me if I'm wrong. It's all blending together! Awesome site, BTW! :-)

This yogurt was a bit creamier, and sweeter than regular yogurts. It was so good, and came in dessert flavors like Cherries Jubilee, Amaretto, A raspberry flavor, and a dutch choclate that tasted like choclate cheesecake. They were all so good, but my favorites were the amaretto, and chocolate. It came out around 1987, and was out only a year or two. I still crave them.

Small round chocolate covered mints. I remember in the commercial the girl would be shivering after eating it

Burger King had a ham and cheese sandwich called the Yumbo. It was hot and the cheese was melted much like the cheese you get with nachos so it was pretty messy but always delicious!

A fruit flavored monster cereal (part of the frankenberry, count chocula, boo berry lineup), came out in the late 80's and didnt hang around too long since the other monster cereals were all better.

Chocolate and nut bar covered with white chocolate

A candy bar that was toasted coconut on the outside, with hard, brittle peanut butter inside.

Does any remeber these little microwave snacks? They had chilidogs and cheeseburgers. I loved eating them back in the day.

It was a gum, and it came five or six to a pack. They were round, and bumpy, and came in grape and orange. There was some kind of tangy crystaline candy in each center of the gum.

The Zebra Strip gum lost it's flavor 3 seconds after you popped it in. stripped and all different colors in one pack.

It was a very fizzy soda water in several fruit flavors, which was very popular about 1987, but disappeared soon after.

A white candy bar with a chocolatly nougat center. I thought it was really cool to eat a white candy bar!

Bowtie pasta chips, with some cheddar powder on them. Made by Smartfood before bought by Frito-lay.

Like twinkies but made by dolly madison bakery and have frosting on top, come in vanilla, chocolate, or mixed.

This canned product was much like Spaghetti-O's and was shaped like zoo animals. May have only been marketed in Canada.

Hard candy with a sour carbonated liquid filling. Pre-dates the 80s

The Pizza Hut 4 Cheese pizza. I was really little and so amazed that such a thing could be done; I remember eating one of these...good times...

Canned briefly in the late 80s - remember drinking it in 87. Gold-toned "spice" flavored soda - sort of cinnamon-y.

a square, layered chocolate type of braakfast bar. I remember there were two in a package. The taste was awesome! It had a sort of carob like taste, powdery texture. Wish I had one right now!

candy bar from AUstralia. Came in a red foil wrapper, with of course a koala on it. It was cherry flavored coconut dipped in chocolate. A favorite circa 1985-8?

I think that's the name. It's an individually wrapped gum. The wrapper was orange with confuscious (chinese face) on the wrapper and the gum was long and thin and a bit hard. Tasted great but for only like 10 mins then the flavor was gone but I loved this gum and can't find it anywhere, not even sure if it's called Chew man Chew-that's what my roommate calls it.

Potato chips, that advertised, "not as greasy as regular chips,", they would show two bowls lined with paper towels, one with regular chips, one with chippo's... and the chippo's side didn't have the oil stained towel, they also came in a foil line box, ( i think ,like bugels)

these awesome and tasty breakfast treats came twin wrapped in a foil/paper pouch and boxed in 4 packages (containing 2 squares each) by general mills, i believe. description: 2 1/2 inches x 2 1/2 inches in size, about an 3/4 of an inch thick and came in 3 flavors...vanilla, spicey or cinnamon and chocolate. these bars were dry, layered cake-like, but hard and somewhat "crumby" and were frosted accordingly with the flavor of the square...my favorite was chocolate...then they came out with the variety box featuring all flavors. I never see them and haven't for years. it's my best guess that they were introduced in the mid to late 70's and vanished in the early to mid 80's.

These are Peppridge Farms cookies that are crisp shortbread cookies with a dark chocolate coating and crushed walnuts on one side.

you put the seasoned hamburger in the pan and then pour on like a cornbread batter on top and then bake it. When it was done you scooped it out and put sour cream and lettuce and tomatoes on it or whatever you wanted tasted like a taco! Same thing with the pizza one.We had it about once a week in the 80's it was my favorite dinner!!!!

Ice cream sandwich with chocolate chip cookies for the crusts. Very good.

These were around before the 80's,but we were so obssessed with watermelon jolly ranchers. You had to look carefully not to get a "fire" flavored one because they were really hot.

Neapolitan toffee...yum! Frozen, it broke and you could eat, and in the summer they melted and would stick to the wax paper. Long thin rectangular bars

Gold wraper on the bottom then take it off and there was the whole thing(lollypop)

These were candy, similar to large m & m's, except they had one layer of peanut butter and one layer of chocolate inside the candy shell. I believe they were made by Willy Wonka brand.

It came in a purple package with pink letters.In the middle it had peanut butter and covered with chocolate.On the outside i think it was rice crispies.

made by pot noodle, like a pot noodle pudding that you added hot water to.gorgeous tangy peach flavour, and you got a crunchy topping to put on. a very short-lived food which led to frank dee's selling them off for about 5p.why did they stop?

just like fruit roll-ups, only in chocolate, butterscotch, and vanilla. They weren't as pretty as the fruit kind, and didn't last very long. were out in 88-89

Cherry seven-up gum with cherry seven-up goo in the middle

popular wine cooler that came in 2 liter bottles and various flavors. It came out during the initial wine cooler craze and was actually a decent tasting drink. The label was bright yellow, not sure when it phazed out of popularity.

a "brick" of french fries that you toasted in a toaster like a slice of bread,then broke the individual fries apart to eat afterward--about 20-25 fries to a "slice".very early 80's, and short-lived...but good.

Chocolate covered chocolate cream. When I was a kid people would ask at Father's wrecking yard, "You know that part...." and my Father would point to the wrapper on the wall and say, "Uno is a candy bar."

Just like today's cookie crisp, except that the cookies were small and vanilla flavored instead of chocolate chip

this was a fruity flavored syrup that you were supposed to mix with soda water to make a punch for parties. I think you could pour it on ice cream and stuff like that, or you could add it to shaved ice...
