What food/drinks did you enjoy growing up that you wouldn't touch today?

[SpaceMan5]

McDonalds burgers and McDonalds apple pie.

If you ever visit WA you need to check out a local chain, Dick's Drive Inn Burgers.

They are a cult classic here in WA, the best!

Spaghettios. Anything Chef Boyardee, really.
Tang.
Campbell's bean with bacon soup.
Kid Cuisine.

But I will never give up my pizza rolls or Kraft Mac n Cheese.

 

[Shellsbutt]

Hostess Zingers, Ding Dongs, donettes.
Steak Umms(not sure if it still exists)
Nissin cup noodles(I think this is the same thing as pot noodles someone mentioned earlier)
Kool-Aid

 

[Moliphino]

The sweets not so much but I can agree with the Peeps. That crunchy, sugary coating is just gross. Eck!

I still like a lot of sweet things, just not the sickeningly sweet candies of my childhood. I do like regular marshmallows and Fluff, but Peeps are horrendous. I like more dark chocolate than milk chocolate now, too.

Campbell Soups
Mountain Dew
hot dogs straight out of the package(unheated)

What in the world is "pot noodle?"

My husband pays a LOT to have these sent from UK. It’s like Cup o noodles but tastes better

 

[snowwite]

Black licorice.

Still love it

 

[snowwite]

Canned vegetables and canned pasta

Oh, I ate those Oscar Meyer hot dogs with the cheese unheated-took them to school and ate them for lunch, so gross now that I think about it.
Also thought of two more-Buddig and Land O Frost deli meats-so thin and just nasty, but they were cheap!
Underwood brand(devil on the can) meat spreads

Kool Aid
Hostess
Pepsi

Three things that come right to mind.

 

[Cogswel_Cogs]

Twinkees

All those great tasting diet soft drinks in the 1960's that were sweetened with Cyclamate. That is the only artificial sweeter that tastes like sugar IMHO. Been banned in the U.S. since 1970, but that ban remains controversial 50 years later as some nations still allow it and question the safety of some of the artificial sweeteners that ARE legal in the U.S.

I just looked it up. Looks like I have something new to try the next time I'm in the UK.

OMG we had that stuff all the time. I actually used to enjoy the buddig even in college. Fry it with an egg top with store brand American cheese. Num num
