I remember the Hostess Fruit Pies. They were coated with sugar. Gross.

None of the other stuff rings a bell. Where did you grow up?

Mackintosh's Toffee

Mackintosh Toffee and Salt Water Taffy are two
things I ate mountains of as a child due to
my Fathers love for them both.
Haven't had either in years.
Thanks for stirring up thoughts of him for
me, that's always nice.

What is this shit? Government issued handouts? I, like NIG, have only heard of the Hostess pies and the Marathon Candy Bar. "Oh Boy Oberto Sausage?" That sounds disgusting. Are you Amish, Mormon or did you grow up in a foster home?

Moon, you were probably too busy eating worms and grabbing peckers to remember any of these things. That's how I vision your childhood.

Well I'd love to take part in this but coming from the UK, we had no such thing as junk food in the days of my childhood, I had Spam on Toast on Monday, Tuesday - Spam and Salad, Wednesday - Cold spam and Chips (Fries) Thursday - Deep Fried Spam with Smash Potatoes (just add water!!). Friday - Spam sandwiches. Saturday - Spam, brown sauce and roast potatoes. Sunday...no idea as by that point I'd fucked off and joined the Circus. There's only so much Spam a man can take

I loved the cherry ones when I was little too - except now if you look at them - they aremuch smaller !!
Anyone remember Flakey puffs!!

[Playitloudforme]

Being from Philly... it was hot soft pretzels w/ mustard or Tastycakes. Preferably the apple pie or cherry variety. (Homer Simpson drool...'aaaaauuuuuuuuu')

Hahahaha good one!, thanks for the shakes Saint John.
Just so you know I didn't eat worms and as far as the other
goes I'm gonna say no comment so Sir Wombat doesn't
close this very interesting thread.

Spam is Hawaii's state meat. More Spam is sold there then anywhere else in the states.

I remember those too. Mom never let us have them, she said they'd make our teeth rot out.

The two "activities" that I mentioned are far closer to the "norm" than what the author mentioned. Never heard of most of that stuff. My junk food consisted of stuff that is still around today. Shit like Doritos, Twix, Twizzlers licorice, Nerds, Snickers and Bubblicious gum

Do you remember that rumor years ago that Bubblicious or Bubble Yum gum was made with spider eggs?

Is that rumor related to the one about Rod Stewart getting "a gallon" of semen pumped out of his stomach?

[NealIsGod]

Remember these?

[chickpea]

I never heard of any of that stuff in the OP except the Hostess pies.

[heardonthestreet]

The combination of a Payday candy bar and a Dr.Pepper made a great breakfast or lunch.

[Moon Beam]

Pop Rocks are the candy all others pale in comparison to!

[chickpea]

We used to put packets of peanuts down in our coke bottles. It was good at the time. Not sure I could stomach that now.

Very sad...poor Mikey...that exploding stomach must have hurt.
