View Full Version : Are u looking for hard-to find food item / something you loved as a child...
Ireneparalegal 06-15-2006, 06:26 PM here is a link to a warehouse that sells items that are no longer sold in your grocery store (Frankenberries cereal, Count Chocula, etc. etc.) either because the store doesn't have the room or the demand is not very high. I seen the show UNWRAPPED yesterday on the FOOD NETWORK and there is a place that is owned by a lady who carries products from way back in the days that you no longer see on the store shelves. She carries a lot of items that manufacturers still make. She has all sorts of food items. I was watching the episode and I was struck by how many things I remember as a child. Check out her website:

Ireneparalegal 06-15-2006, 06:34 PM you are very welcome. I am getting ready to SHOP!!!!
Ireneparalegal 06-15-2006, 09:06 PM hey, they sell MELLO YELLO!!!!!!!!
Chelsea 06-15-2006, 09:17 PM I can walk to no fewer than five dozen places within a few miles of here and buy Mello Yello. Heck, in a few I can buy *diet* Mello Yello.

great. not everyone is as lucky as u. some stores don't have the demand to carry such stuff. there are many items on this website that i am sure others will appreciate knowing they can get it...some people are under the impression that certain items are no longer made.
PZelda 06-15-2006, 09:25 PM They don't have the s'mores cereal that General Mills used to have in the 80s/early 90s. :mad: I really miss that cereal. :( No, I'm not referring to S'morez by Kellogg. The GM version was WAAAAAAAAAY better. Also, Mario/Zelda cereal, they had that in the 80s. I wouldn't mind having a box of that again.
They have chocolate brownie SODA?? EWWWWW.

maybe they don't make it anymore...try the general mills website...they might be able to let u know.:wave:
Brieannas21 06-15-2006, 10:50 PM Here they use to sell Nehi bubble gum flavored soda when I was little back in the late 80's early 90's, Now I can't find that soda anywhere.
Chelsea 06-15-2006, 11:05 PM It's just strange to hear others talk about being surprised to see a product for sale that I really have only seen one dip in availability in during my lifetime (The timeframe where Surge existed). That's all.

Ohh man, Jolt. Now THAT takes me back :-)

:yeahthat I can get regular Mello Yello here.
Ireneparalegal 06-15-2006, 11:23 PM CONGRATS for those who can get mello yello...this is why some people get happy for info like this:

Brieannas21 06-15-2006, 11:33 PM I can get Mello Yello here also, I think that some products you can find in the south and others you can find every easily in the North, all about location. There's a brand of Ice Cream that I can find here that I can't find in Northern states, so I think it all about who made it and where it's sold.

What about Crystal with a Pepsi. :p Lame, I know.
I really miss Mars bars. I haven't seen them in years.
Hollow 07-05-2006, 04:15 AM pretty cool.
Yooch 07-05-2006, 06:25 AM Arnold Brick oven cookes, the orange-flavored ones and the lemon-flavored ones. The company also made whole-weat bread, before whole-wheat bread went mainstream. They had these products back east (NY area) when I was growing up. I don't know if the company is still in existence. I'll have to check out the website. Thanks Irene!

the link above is their website...i don't see it on their list but maybe you can email them and inquire if they still make it and if so, where is it sold...:wave:

cmcb06:
Is Sugar Memories LLC the candy store you have in mind? Its website is www.groovycandies.com (http://www.groovycandies.com/). It is based in Cleveland.
I used to like Double Cola and Great Shake but I haven't seen them for sale anywhere in years.
Ireneparalegal 03-03-2007, 05:35 PM I used to like Double Cola and Great Shake but I haven't seen them for sale anywhere in years.
I never heard of that product. It must have been sold only in your part of the country.
Chelsea 03-06-2007, 03:21 AM I FOUND CANDY CIGARETTES! A conveinience store I stopped at today had them.
Bought 3 packs. 29 cents apiece. Took two for me, gave one to a friend who was floored to see I'd found some (we'd just been talking about this)
Chelsea 03-06-2007, 03:23 AM I used to like Double Cola .
Can't speak for the other one, but Double Cola's still around, it's just harder and harder to find. Coca-cola now handles a lot of distribution work for the Double Cola company, and the one drink Coke seems interested in actually distributing is Ski (for those not from TN or southern KY - pretty much everyone: Ski is the BEST citrus soda ever made, point blank), so while Double Cola's available in some places, it's gradually fading away.
JO jr 03-06-2007, 07:16 AM CANDY CIGARETTES. WHICH KIND? THE CHALKY ONES? DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE CHOCOLATE ONES? I THINK THEY WERE LONGER, AND IN A BROWN BOX.
ALSO, I USED TO GET THE BUBBLE GUM CIGARETTES. YOU COULD BLOW ON THE GUM WHILE IT'S STILL IN ITS WRAPPER, AND THIS WHITE POWERED SUGAR CAME OUT, APPEARING AS SMOKE. NO WONDER WHY SO MANYKIDS TURNED TO THE REAL THING:lol:
I ALSO MISS THOSE SAUCER WAFERS MELTED IN YOUR MOUTH AND HAD THOSE LITTLE BEADS OF CANDY.
AND HAS ANYONE HEARD OF PDQ? IT WAS LIKE CHOCOLATE CRYSTAL GRANUALS, AND IT CAME IN A JAR. WE USED TO USE IT FOR CHOCOLATE MILK, AND HOT CHOC, AS WELL AS ADDING IT TO ICE CREAM. THAT STUFF WAS THE BEST, AND I CANNOT FIND IT ANYWHERE! HAS ANYONE SEEN IT RECENTLY? I'VE LOOKED OUT OF STATE AND NOTHING. I THINK THEY MIGHT'VE DISCONTINUED IT. IT MAKES ME WONDER WHAT WAS IN THAT STUFF:eek:

ARen't those great??? What a treat those were. Was there ever a controversy abt those candies??? I mean, nowadays people would have a hissy fit abt them, I am sure.
Tara!!!! :brent your post above!!!!! :rofl:
