Sara Noel 01-26-2002, 01:21 AM Remember New Coke? Tang was popular.
Nerds were just coming out. Now and Laters?
And who could forget the rumor that Mikey died from eating pop rocks and drinking Coke? *LOL*
I used to love getting taffy at the corner store too. yummy.

Katybird 11-02-2006, 04:44 PM Snack Pack puddings, they came in a can with ring pull flip top, it's a wonder we did not cut our fingers off trying to open them at school in our lunches, they are a little safer now with the plastic container and plastic cover :). Remember Slush Puppies, they were like a slushee with lots of flavoring and my Grandmother would always get us one at the convenience store on the rare occassions that she stopped at one.
lottaLove 11-02-2006, 04:56 PM Mmm I remember
Fun-Dips/Lik-Em-Aide, with the sugar stick you lick and dunk into sugar powder,
Gum Chew, supposed to be like chewing tobacco, only it was bubble gum
Nerds candies
Lemonheads
Pepsi Clear (not sure if this was early 90s)
Push-Ups popsicles
LadyNada 11-02-2006, 07:55 PM I was just thinking about Fun Dips the other day! And those ice creams that looked like yellow and blue sunglasses. Or the ones that were orange cream flavored and had a plastic stick with a little figure on the inside, I don't remember their names.
Amanda W 11-02-2006, 08:51 PM I just had a flashback of one year at summer camp when the fad was to snort Pixy Stix. :scratch: How about Jolt soda? "All the sugar and twice the caffeine."
Neeley 11-02-2006, 10:13 PM I had forgotten about Pepsi Clear!!! I loved Slush Puppies, Boston Baked Beans, and Rollos Candy
emily_hope 11-02-2006, 11:05 PM I remember about the Pop Rocks! LOL!
Maisiedotes 11-02-2006, 11:17 PM I used to always get now and laters, sneaking because my mom didn't let me have the chewy stuff.
How about the pac man ice creams that the ice cream truck used to have? I think it was lemon sherbet and he had a gumball eye...
ktsmama 11-02-2006, 11:19 PM Slush Puppies, those were the best. I remember when we convenced our Nanny to try pop rocks!! What a funny sight.
i.m.cheap 11-02-2006, 11:26 PM Jello Pudding Pops.
Stella 11-02-2006, 11:27 PM We used to always go the store and get candy cigarettes and there were the wax bottles that had a colored sugar juice in them.
PrairieRose 11-03-2006, 12:24 AM How about pickle juice popcycles....? Anyone ever have those, makes those little things in the back of my jaws have that twangy feeling just thinkin' bout em. :D
baronmom 11-03-2006, 09:41 AM Bottle caps, pop rocks, and oh did I love the pudding pops. I even liked the pacman ice cream too
kabin63 11-03-2006, 09:57 AM You gals are making me feel old....Wahhh!
NoDebtMom 11-03-2006, 10:17 AM There was some kind of shredded beef jerky in a can that made it look like snuff. I loved that. Bottle caps candy, root beer flavor, yum!
Neeley 11-03-2006, 10:21 AM We used to always go the store and get candy cigarettes and there were the wax bottles that had a colored sugar juice in them.
I still get these every once in a while. I also get the ones that are not bottle shaped, but are just like a wax tube with the juice. I would chew the wax bottle after I got the juice out. Did anyone else do this?
DorothyBeverly 11-03-2006, 02:16 PM Aw man, Pudding pops were the best!! Does anyone remember a pop called "LIKE"....I have a pic of my brother drinking that when he was like 2 or 3 (he was born in 1984)....Strawberry shortcake cereal!!!!
