Things you liked to eat or drink as a kid.

[bertha katzenengel]

Mine was RC Cola.

[bif]

1. Bosco, Ovalteen, strawberry milk mix.

[ChickMagic]

13. Ooh, Bosco!

Food of the gods!

[jobycom]

2. Spinach--ah those were the days, before we knew better. Also, hogs head cheese

I've lost my taste for that, though.

[cmkramer]

29. I love spinach

especially with soy sauce on it. That's how my mom used to fix it. She'd steam the frozen kind and then put a little soy sauce on it. I actually liked it better than corn on the cob!

I used to love fizzies. Basically they were like flavored Alka-Seltzer tablets. You'd put one tablet in a glass of water, and it would turn into a fizzy soda type drink. They came in a bunch of different flavors: cola, grape, root beer, lemon lime, cherry, etc. I'm pretty sure they stopped making it a long time ago.

[Montauk6]

56. One thing I've never lost my taste for is heavily buttered spinach.

Of course, to the detriment of my waistline :cry:

[ohiosmith]

3. black cherry cola and wagon wheels

[mainegreen]

4. Milk, bitter lemon, casis.

[1gobluedem]

5. Fizzies!

But not to drink, we liked to put them on our tongues and feel them bubble up.

I also had an affection for Hostess Fruit Pies; we only got them for field trip lunches so they were a huge treat. Can't stand 'em now though; too, TOO sweet.

[begin_within]

58. That's what I did with Fizzies. I only put it in water once. From then on,

I just put the tablet in my mouth.

[XNASA]

6. Pork Rinds with Hot Sauce and Creme Soda

Yummy.

[QMPMom]

7. Dr. Pepper and Cream of Mushroom Soup

and boiled potatoes.

[Left Is Write]

8. Inexplicably, I loved getting Hi-C when I went to my gramma's house.

I do not like Hi-C anymore.

Gramma made the best doughnuts too. I loved Gramma's homemade doughnuts.

[MrCoffee]

9. cut-up fried hot dogs and macaroni and cheese...

i can't believe the crap my mom let me eat.

[cwydro]

10. moon pies

Cheerwine (NC folks know what that is), doritos, Captain Crunch, popcorn, cookie batter...

Funny, now I hate junk food, though I still love popcorn...

[jobycom]

33. Still love moon pies!

I'm a durn redneck at heart...

[Kali]

53. popcorn isn'g junk food

its a whole grain snack - of course the butter and salt are another matter...

[supernova]

11. Nestea Iced Tea

with my grand dad's streudel.

[ceile]

12. Kool-Aid and Spaghetti Os

In the summer I probably ate a can a day.

[MorningGlow]

14. Captain Crunch

With crunchberries. Peanut butter Captain Crunch if I got a hankerin'. In front of Saturday morning cartoons, of course.

Madame Celeste frozen pizzas with the freaky square pieces of pepperoni or sausage.

Spaghetti-Os...Chef Boyardee ravioli (ewww now that I think about it, what WAS that meat?)

Kool-Aid. But my mom only got orange because my brother was older and he preferred that flavor. I would have sold my soul for a pitcher of grape Kool-Aid JUST ONCE.

[pdx_prog]

15. Space Food Sticks! n/t

[trof]

16. tuna salad sandwiches with hot chocolate

Still do.
:shrug:

[hippywife]

20. PBJ's

dipped in ketchup. Still like to dip them in tomato soup, tho.

[sarge43]

21. I loved the cream cheese bricks

which probably accounts for my now mmmmmm generous hips.

[Seabiscuit]

22. Pez and Cherry Creme Soda

Also, Topps baseball card bubble gum.

[Trigger Hippie]

23. Dr. Pepper!

I used to drink a six-pack a day when I was little. :scared:

[murielm99]

24. Those orange sherbet things

that came in a cardboard push-up cylinder. I thought they were way better than popsicles.

[scarlet_owl]

25. Frozen fried clams right out of the bag.

I also liked canned mushrooms. I can't stand either of those things now.

[mainegreen]

27. Frozen fried clams? That is so wrong!

The frozen kind.

[Broken_Hero]

28. Squirt soda

[cmkramer]

30. Dixie Cups

A staple at birthday parties. They were cup-sized servings of usually vanilla ice cream. I remember they came with these little wooden paddle things that worked as spoons.

Sno-cones (we called them "snowballs") flavored shaved ice in a cup sometimes with marshmallow on top.

Man was that the best, now it just makes me sick feeling

[Deja Q]

38. Flintstones brand flavored chewable vitamins

:D

[skygazer]

39. Baby aspirin

Those yummy little orange flavored things. Seriously. I used to climb up on a chair and get them out of the medicine cabinet and eat 6 or 7 at a time. :scared:

What can I say. It was the 60's. :hippie:

[Karenca]

46. I loved them----I once ate the whole bottle of them.

I really did---I was about 7 years old or so.

St. Joseph's Aspirin.

[Kali]

54. oh I loved those too - that is why I am sitting here eating a whole bag of

on sale levtover halloween Smartees! - closest you can get to baby aspirin. Texture is perfect - flavor is a little off.

[carpetbagger]

65. Those things were nasty without amoxicillin to wash them down.

Then again, I was a paste eater, so what do I know about good and bad food.

[bertha katzenengel]

67. "I was a paste eater, so what do I know about good and bad food."

LOL

[William Bloode]

Still like them.

[cmkramer]

Anyone remember them?

[sakabatou]

I also used to like Coca-Cola, although not Pepsi, even though I can't stand it now.

[Sequoia]

43. Nehi Orange and Grape and Moon Pies.

Atomic Fireballs. And the best of all....Biltmore Ice Cream in squeeze cups. No more Biltmore dairy now, it's been turned into a winery.

Redstone

[begin_within]

[Redstone]

62. And what a rush that was! I remember.

Redstone

[fishwax]

64. you might try at a toys 'r us

I found some there (or at least an equivalent product) a while back ... it's been about two years, but they might still have 'em :)

[ganeshji]

51. tater tots dipped in vanilla ice cream

perfect combination of sweet and salty and hot and cold

[astral]

52. Sloppy Joes!

And, of course, Bosco! I coulen't forget about Bosco, but wasn't that molasses milk rather than chocolate?

And why did they quit making fizzies! My favorite thing was Sweet Tarts, whenever I had, or found, enough change to run up to the local grocery store and get them out of the machine.

bed time cereal . . . . which I ate s-l-o-w-l-y because I did ***NOT*** wanna go to bed!

[Generic Brad]

55. Close Up Toothpaste

Don't tell anyone. I was a stupid kid with nice breath. :7

[gemdem]

59. Peanut butter and iceberg lettuce sandwiches

Two slices of white bread smeared with peanut butter with a chuck of iceberg lettuce (lightly salted). Also liked bologna sadwiches on dark rye (or pumpernickel) with either mustard or Dean's French onion dip as a spread.

On occasion I still indulge. My kids wrinkle their noses at both of my palate pleasers.

[Montauk6]

60. Things that I LOVED that I just can't deal with now

Guacamole - the merest trace of that or just plain avocado can make me queasy. I used to love it but I think it jumped the shark when I had an awful chimichanga from TGIFridays with this guac puree that I've never recovered from.

Brains and eggs - I start staggering when I not only contemplate having eaten this but also that I JONESED for it as a wee one.

Milk - Oh please, I used to down gallons of the stuff. Today, other than the half&half I add to my coffee, I just can't cope. And the weird thing is I have no problem with cheese. It's just the idea of drinking a whole glass of just MILK that gives me the willies.

Cheezits or cheese flavored Goldfish - OK, I can tolerate this, e.g. in a party snack mix. But whereas as a boy, I could snack on these like they were going out of style, today, I find the cheese taste bitter, sour and fake.

[smtpgirl]

61. Zero candy bars, Barley Sugar Christmas pops,

Quisp & Quake cereal, Ralston Hot cereal, ovaltine, Cheese Doodles,

Lime Kool-Aid & Space Sticks

[Bassic]

66. Back before they changed the recipe?

I know my fther used to love it. There are many baby pictures of me with a bottle of RC somewhere in the background. :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

68. Frankenstuff hot dogs!!!

I would still eat them if they still made them!

[TK421]

69. I remember those! I used to love 'em! You ever have Pizza Quick?

We used to do all kinds of stuff with it....
