Last year they were already not kosher, but Dollar Tree had kosher Lemonhead candy canes.

The only thing that I can think of offhand is Mocha Mix, which, growing up OOT in the 90s, was THE Parve ice cream available. No idea if it's still around but I haven't seen it in years.

Did someone say Mochamix?! 😂

Found twizzlers in creamsicle flavor this summer in Walmart

Also, definitely dream cups. The milk-chocolate coconut ones, please.

Weren’t they filled with marshmallow fluff? Or is my memory going...

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

Talking about creamsicles (don't know how it's spelled) I'm reminded of fudgsicles (again not sure how it's spelled!)
Kleins or mehadrin made it with a pink wrapper on a stick. Then Tofutti made it but it wasn't the same and now there's neither...

I was waiting for someone to mention creamsicles. I really miss them. They were my favorite ice cream.

I remember eating candies we called "meat candies" because they kind of looked like a raw steak. It was a small oval hard candy with red, orange, and yellow sections divided by white lines. Anyone remember those?

I remember the glass bottle shpritz seltzer. My bubby used to keep it outside in the hallway , we had a field day spritzing seltzer on the floor.

Pasta with tomato sauce in a can. I forget what they were called. They were kosher in the early 80s. I used to love them.

Buitoni! Yes! The closest we had to spaghetti-o's. I had a tomato soup that tasted similarly recently, and it took me right back.

From a torontonian: Ruffles all dress chips used to be cor now they are chalav stam. Miss them! Nothing compares! Also beef knishes from perls. Miss them tons!

If I remember correctly, the chips aren't actually dairy. The hechsher doesn't differentiate between D and DE anymore, so it says D, but it doesnt have any dairy ingredients. if you eat DE you can have them...

I know this because my sister-in-law spoke with a representative of that hechsher.

Do they still make Sunkist Jellies, the real ones? Those were a special treat my grandmother used to send us packages every so often and there was always a box of Sunkist Jellies . I’d take a few to school and keep it on my tongue in the middle of class until the sugar dissolved and then I’d suck the smooth jelly for a long time.
