Anyone remember this?

My grandparents lived in S. Illinois, they would always take us to Shoney's. We thought it was amazing.

Use to get the liquid filled chewable wax candy. They had different types of wax products filled kool-aid. The pop bottle ones stand out.

These goddam cinnamon crispanas need to come back.

That is a bizarre can to put a beverage in. I only remember drinking ecto cooler out of the little boxes

Before plastic took over even pudding came in metal containers.

Hy Vee used to have an in-house take and bake pizza brand called Moose Brothers which was ******* incredible.

In the 90s Moose Brothers was available in the Twin Cities area Holiday stores. Yeah, they were good and bring back memories of living in Saint Croix Falls, WI. Crazy pretty area.

CF had a thread a while back:https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/who-else-remembers-moose-brothers-pizza.263770/

A fav as a kid. Was like the traditional smaller cherry filled candy but bigger, like two stuck together with a cherry in each "hump". I had one once that had three cherries and not just two. Was like a big win!

Long gone, were made in Winona, Minnesota and maybe why I had them in NE Iowa.

No idea why they discontinued those. There were no other pizza type snack on the market. They should bring them back for a season and see how they sell.

One of my roommates was hired by Hy-Vee to promote these. He went to different stores wearing a moose costume.

Whistles, bugles and pizza spins snacks. We would put a bugle on each finger and pretend they were long fingernails. Then we'd eat them.
I loved the cheesy whistles, but I think only bugles survived. I do like caramel bugles now.

I remember having Tang as a kid. "It's Just Not for Breakfast Anymore". If it was good enough for the astronauts, it was good enough for me.

For some reason, I had a thing for Charleston Chew candy bars. Don't think they sell them in stores anymore, but notice they sell online in bulk on Ebay. Not sure what a 40 year old candy bar tastes like.

I learned a couple years ago Tang is huge in some other countries and has an entire line of flavors.

This was almost always in the fridge. more so than the ecto-cooler. If I recall ecto cooler was only available around halloween.

Birthday parties was was this with 7up mixed in for a fizzy punch. My mom would make it at every Birthday Party. Several cans of Hawaiian Punch and some 7up in a punch bowl or pitcher or similar for the drink.

Yup Bugles and black olives always went on the fingers first.

How many times did you slice your tongue on the lid?

I still love McDonald's Shamrock shakes! Remember the next day after drinking a Shamrock shake, your poop was dark green?

I also liked McDonald's Artic Orange shakes that came out in April (after the Shamrock shakes were done).
