Are u looking for hard-to find food item / something you loved as a child... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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:

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.

They don't have the s'mores cereal that General Mills used to have in the 80s/early 90s.

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.

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 :-)

I can get regular Mello Yello here.

Ireneparalegal · 06-15-2006, 11:23 PM

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.

Geez Irene, sorry for saying that.

dawsongirl · 06-16-2006, 03:50 PM

I have no idea if they sell Mello Yellow here or not.

Too bad there isn't Crystal Pepsi on there. I want some.
