What has disappeared since you were a kid

Re: What has disappeared since you were a kid

My candy of choice was always Skor (chocolate covered toffee) or maybe some Now'N'Laters. Not that I've looked in years, but are they still around?
 
Re: What has disappeared since you were a kid

OH! I just thought of one that just isn't around anymore:

PB Max. Holy hell those things were awesome. Best candy bar ever. Although now Butterfingers are my kryptonite.
 
Re: What has disappeared since you were a kid

I guess I never really "demanded" any candy outside of nerds, sweet tarts, and sprees.

And you can get the big boxes of those at Target or Wal Mart for a buck. Runts are good, except for the bananas...

On this note, Nerds Blizzards are pretty much gone...

Some older posters may remember "Fizzies." A flavored tablet you dropped into a glass of water to turn it into a carbonated beverage. Who on God's earth thought THAT was a good idea? What you wound up with was cherry flavored Alka Seltzer. The stuff was horrible. I'm guessing the huge TV campaign to sell the stuff resulted in millions of first sales, but no followup sales. Bleah.

I remember liking them. :)

* you. * you with eight-sided die that are adhered to a wooden spoon and dipped in lye. And rubbed up and down MNS's arse-crack.


I worked at Shinder's (for the non-locals, it was a longtime bookstore, made their money in porn and fads) during that craze. JFC, I hated those things.

My friends and I stopped before the craze ended. Mostly because I got an awesome diamond-plate slammer that destroyed. After a week, I had 95% of them.

No, you're not.

Like I said, we figured out how dumb it was earlier than most. Eventually, everyone realized they are stupid cardboard circles with no resale value whatsoever.

I believe they both still exist and can be bought in and around town.

Crease that was larger and extended past the goal mouth
 
Re: What has disappeared since you were a kid

Not sure if they have been mentioned....

Ferrari Sunglasses... the kind with 5 hinges that folded up and fit into a compact case.

Somewhat related... hockey nets with the metal underside that came to a point in the center. After Mark Howe got impaled on one of those, they redesigned the nets.
