FedMart was the west coast low budget version of Costco. The stuff was the same. Once, out of the blue, I asked my mom for a glass of orange juice at night, she dropped the glass bottle, had to get stiches and all that, major guilt, I still don't drink much OJ.
On a slightly bizzare Halloween/Dia de los Muertos note, tonite is the 14th anniversary of my mon's death. One nite on the anniversary, my sisters TV turned on by itself in her kitchen in the middle of the night, another anniversary the faucets in one of my brother's house turned on in the middle of the night. She comes back from time to time to remind us!

I hope we all remember Space Food Sticks. Just like the astronauts used to eat.

I have a 4 CD set of all the mad magazines up to 1998, nostalgic, but I wish they had one for National Lampoon, which I switched to in High School, for the nudity and the dirty jokes...

UGH...Space Sticks! One of the biggest disappointments of my childhood. But I remember this fondly...

Remember Hi-C in big old cans that had to be opened with an old-fashioned can opener? It was called a church key.

Today is my son's birthday.
My mother has been gone for 4 years, but every now and then the phone rings, and no one answers when I say hello. I know it's her.

It was called a church key.Yep. I hated it when my mother used the grown-ups church key to open my cans...it made everything taste like beer.

We used to drink a little of the RC and then put a pack of Planters Peanuts in the bottle and drink it and then eat the peanuts out of the bottle...

In Phenix City, Alabama, you could get into the movies for free if you brought in 25 RC bottle caps.

The best treats were the ones we invented ourselves....like salted peanuts dropped into the small glass bottle of coke.

I remember Shak-A-Puddin. It had a gritty texture.

I used to make Shak-A-Puddin during "Gomer Pyle, USMC."
I had a lot of odd rituals.
To: redlipstick
Well, when folks want to get in touch with you, they will, I'm in the same house where she died, so I'll be on the lookout!
Well we made it over 100 posts before we got our popup spam for the night...sigh...

I think sweet tarts are gone now too. No way! They have to be around. . . .

I'm back in the house where I grew up, and I can really feel my father's presence a lot. It's very comforting.
To: redlipstick
No, these were a full size candy bar. Was it a Whizz Bar ?

Big Hunk! Big Hunk!
Tough choice -- Smash it and have lotsa little pieces or grab it and puuuuuulllll.
I am now diabetic (I got large -- I am small now, but too late!). This thread is killing me! But it is great nostalgia!
