I miss the J&J shelf stable chocolate milk box drinks. And the iced tea box drinks (forgot the brand).

And I miss Kahlua. We used to be able to buy it from Mexico but no more.

That was a treat my father gave me when I was a teen. So good! Now I drizzle Godiva liqueur or frangelico.... but it isn't the same.

POSTUM!
That was the "coffee" (caffeine-free) that we kids were able to drink. I never found an equally good alternative.

Btw, I think Ooh-Chews are the same as the old chew-chews.

So the good news for all you Kahlua-lovers is that it is kosher in the UK ( so possibly in other non-USA countries also? Worth checking out!)

Fizzies. They’re still available in specialty old-style catalogs like Vermont Country Store.

The mini round devil cake that came individually wrapped in a huge divided box. Korns/Sterns bakery can't exactly replicate it. Tastewise it was yummmm and the cake stuck to your fingers as u ate it....

There was a cereal, forgot its name, it had almonds and candied nuts in it

I saw someone mentioned nouget roll and someone else the .25 cent drinks.... A staple on any school or chol hamoed trip
Vichy seltzer, the small green bottles in a plastic six pack. I never drank it but I always bought it. Perrier seltzer.

One of the flavors of Ooh Chews are similar to Chew Chews, but not quite the same. Now and Laters were also very similar and really yummy, but were only kosher for a very short time Crying

Oh, and is reliably kosher marmite available in the US? Believe me, I'm asking for a friend.

Bugles. They used to have a hechsher.
But even without, I haven't seen them in a while.

There was a apple bits snack bag that my mother used to buy for a healthier snack option. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

There are so many more things now that are kosher than used to be though.

The only that I miss are nougat rolls. Yum, that salty, sweet goodness!

Who remembers Twin Pops? Oh, I know you can buy them these days individually packaged, but we used to lick them both together...

I didn't like Creamsicles, but do you remember them? Pale orange ices that had a creamy inside something between an ices and ice cream.

I also dreadfully miss Chew Chews.

And the Klein's Froze Fruits from those days actually had bits of fruits in them. Strawberry flavor had whole strawberries (before we knew about those pesky bugs) and lime flavor had stringy bits like lime.
