Remembering food and beverages from childhood

My Mom always thought we should eat breakfast before school and I was never hungry. Then she would make me drink Carnation Instant Breakfast, which I hated. I talked her into just letting me drink a glass of chocolate milk.
My Dad hunted and fished and always wanted us to consume what he got. I was good with the fish, but never liked duck much and despised squirrel.

They sell them in bitesize pieces in boxes like the Mike & Ike or Whoppers movie size boxes. We buy them all the time at HyVee.
It was Citrus Cooler before it was Ecto Cooler.
My mother would put chunks of lime sherbet in the punch bowl with it. It was AMAZING.
Maybe one of you older folks can help me remember a snack - it was basically a cheesy chex mix, but it was before Chex started marketing their own bagged snack mixes. The reason I liked it is because it didn't have the "filler" type breadsticks/pretzels.
I feel like it started with a doodle or something like that. It came in a box, not a snack bag.

Oh those are still around everywhere. My kids love them, then throw the ring part on the floor.
Book it, pan pizza that was huge in the late 80's early 90's. I think you had to fill out a slip of paper with all the you read.
I now remember all the NCAA basketball stuff the sold or gave away.

LOL, well some of us were well past childhood when that one came out.I can't believe nobody said this one:
The big ones for my time, at least in my teens was Jolt and Kick.
The 16oz cans came out a couple years ago in the rerelease. Not part of the original run.
I have had that at other peoples houses... my mom never got that "Fancy" LOL. Nah, my mom just never made it that way even though others did.
My birthday parties usually consisted of a hot dish or two, a home made cake decorated by my mom, and the above mentioned punch, for the family parties with cousins, aunts, uncles grandparents etc.
Friends parties, sleepover type things we usually got frozen pizza, and maybe a rented movie!! although I was lucky enough to have a McDonalds party 1 time, I think in first grade, back when they had the old McD playground with the character playground equip.
Its funny, I'm pretty sure we struggled pretty hard for a few years, but as kids we really never knew. Plus I think in the area I lived during that time EVERYONE was struggling.
I know there were always things we wish we had, as I think all kids want for things, but we never went without things we needed, my parents always made sure of that.
Great post....I feel the same. Little things back then were a big deal or seemed like one! We had rough times, but I can remember even the excitement when on a Saturday we'd drive the 10 miles or so and get McDonalds drive through! Same with birthdays and other occasions...always felt planned/special.
That's why I love this thread....many of the items I recall fondly for that time of my life as a kid...just long summers and the joy of a rented movie!
Was a Friday night going out with the family staple.
For a few of those years we got the book it pizzas for my younger sisters and we would eat one of these…..Priazzo Milano. Tasty!
