My childhood ❤

I'm halfway through a packet right now! They'll be gone before I reach the bottom of this article!

Used to have these in the car for long journeys.

Used to love these. Damn milk chocolate.

Every couple of months we had a ‘free choice’ dinner. In reality (4 kids) my mom bought one of these and we got to fight for our choice. Looking back as an adult, I see things like our family’s financial security in a whole new light. We went to private schools, but there was certainly scrimping to make it happen.

I have never seen these full of anything except sewing equipment.

I love these, especially the seahorses

They actually were a lot better years ago (like 25 - 30 years ago...).

These are really great tasting jams-love the blackberry.

I have never seen any of those, maybe they are not a thing here...

When I was a kid, with parents who strictly kept everything tasty out of my diet, I used to read the and re-read the Hickory Farms and Swiss Colon catalogues that came in the mail! Everything there looked so delicious to a candy-deprived 8 year old...

Loved when my mom got me one

Your mother saved up to offer you ice-cream. She must be a very loving and adorable mother. She spent the money set aside for her children, instead of treating herself.

Same thing for hot dogs in our house, it was a slice of bread not a magical, fancy ~hot dog bun~.

To keep it for herself - same as I do with my kids, they're far too unappreciative of the good things - my oldest would likely put tomato sauce on it like a Neanderthal

They're known as ToffifEE in the UK. And oh boy, does my hubby have a history with them...

Jar of Nutella and a spoon and I'm a happy camper

Oh god, this brings back unhappy memories of a flight from Dallas to Chicago where I vomitted from the moment we took off until the moment we landed, and the stewardess gave me a ginger ale to calm my stomach. I prefer ginger beer - Old Jamaica for preference.

Yes! Pop Tarts are what they recycle cardboard for.

Yes love me a Jaffa cake

Not orange rolls but we always had cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate on Christmas morning growing up! But I never stopped, still do it every Christmas with my kids!

Petit Fours!!! Yes!

Downtown Tacoma smelled horrible from the nearby wood processing pits, except for the little area near Pacific Ave. where Almond Rocca was made

Definitely this was a treat for any Oregon kid! I remember all the fancy kids in high school had a bottle of New York Seltzer at lunch every day.

I kind of like Asti, tbh. Sweeter than champagne, and all the bubbles to boot.

Ah, these are exceedingly good cakes!

Orangina is still my favorite. When I was a kid, it was only available on holiday in France. Now I can buy it at REWE.

I heard an urban legend that kinder eggs aren't allowed in usa because they are allegedly dangerous for kids (in the country with 1,2 guns per person).

It was the best as an introduction to alcohol. Same with Arbor mist.

Tastykake is world above Hostess any day of the week

Butterscotch Krimpets were always my favorite as a child (‘60s and ‘70s, born in PA, also lived in MD). Tried them again as an adult, and they were pretty tasteless. They must’ve swapped out the good stuff for cheaper ingredients or something. They used to have a much stronger butterscotch flavor.

South Jersey girl here who always had Tastykakes in the house for as long as I could remember. Our snacks would be either Kandy Kakes or the Chocolate Cupcakes and a big glass of milk.

Here in Texas we finally started to see these. I nearly cried but opted for the ginormous toddler moment instead. .."

I grew up like 3 miles from the TastyKake factory in Philadelphia. Not even that expensive. Usually can get 2 boxes of TastyKakes for like $5.

Milano cookies ahhh the 80"s.

These but the orange iced ones. 😋

Basically just a smore without the mess

Jolly ranchers and Zima….a classic for young drinkers! Although I’m 40 and would most definitely still drink it!

A special occasion treat for my family

shredded has that awful powdery anti-caking stuff added. i don't know how people can eat it.

Loads of what??? It's like a quiz
