In sixth grade a girl liked me; her dad worked at the fizzies factory and she brought me lots of fizzies that I'd smuggle home in my trombone case. Lots of cereals fit this description: Banana Wackies Twinkles Sugar Jets Puffa Puffa Rice Crispy Critters Rice Krinkles Franco American Pizzo Pies Hunt's Barbeque and Pizza flavored ketchup Turkish Taffy Tootsie Roll Fudge Teem soda Like soda Bubble-Up soda Black Cow all-day lollipops

I remember I loved 7-Up went I was a kid, and my mom always bought it for me. At one point she started buying Bubble-Up, probably because it was cheaper.

I think it was before Diet 7-Up came out. "Sugar free Bubble-Up has a pizzazz... That's what sugar free Bubble -Up has." Ah, they don't write 'em like they used to.

They were my favorite as a child--sugar coated Rice Krispies, essentially...my grandmother always had them on the shelf. Here's a cereal that came and died quickly--QUANGAROOS!

They were okay, but sometimes you'd get a hot spot--Yuck!

They made this french fries, called I Hate Peas. They were french fries that were stuffed with peas! You could see green stripes down the side of the fries. I guess that thought that kids wouldn't notice the green stripe and the pea taste. I think they even had other fries stuffed with other vegtables. I know that we got the Pea fries one time. They were awful and we never got them again. I still HATE peas.
