Anytime I hear or see or smell Shake n Bake it reminds me of the time I was at my grandparents and we had Shake n Bake pork chops and I got sicker than a dog!!!! Just can't do it now....

Also one time I had the flu for quite an extended period of time and all I had was 7-Up...can't drink the stuff now!!!!

Absolutely. Marshmallow peeps always makes me think of spring. I think it's because we always got them in our easter baskets. Now you can get them any time of the year.

My Grandma always made me Cream of Wheat for breakfast. If you ever see me crying in the cereal aisle, it's because I'm thinking of her. :D

Roast chicken or roast beef served with roasted potatoes reminds me of my Maternal Grandparents. That was what was served nearly all the time for Sunday dinner at thier house. My Grandmother also made excellent rice pudding, so that reminds me of her too :)

I haven't seen these in 20 years, but roasted coconut-covered square marshmallows must have been my mom's favorite when I was growing up.

Very stale Sweet Marie bars - remind me of my Grandma's offering when we visited every Sunday before lunch.

Strawberry sundaes from McDonalds remind me of my dearly departed grandpa who used to take me to town and buy me one every week. :)

Lemon bars always remind me of my mom. I swear no one makes them as good as she did to this day.

Soft Serve Frozen Yogurt with Oreos always reminds me of my days in middle school having lunch with my friends... throw a Snicker's bar in there too and I'm in heaven and will just think of those days for a long time.

Hershey's Kisses always reminds me of my grandmother. Even though I am not too fond of them now, she always had a ton of them and always kept her room so warm that they were always a little soft and creamy.
