I doubt that any tasty foods from our childhood . . . 50’s and 60’s, are still available. Sure, the brand name still exists, but chemicals and additives have changed it so that it is no longer the same.
I noticed that around the 70’s or so, the slogan “New and Improved” actually meant “Changed and Cheapened”.
...would actualy appeal to us now at our age.
I used to eat sugar sandwiches.......
Ran into the “new and improved” label on my favorite breakfast cereal yesterday...yup, it went from an 18 oz to a 15 oz box at the same price....new and improved profit item I guess.
I used to eat Post’s Frosted Rice Krinkles like they were going out of style. I guess I was the only one, they stopped making them in the 80’s sometime and now you have some half baked replacement Fruity Pebbles (they are ok now and then but not like Krinkles).
I am still angry about that.

Indeed. We were just discussing this recently in a family group. Have you tried Tastykake products recently? Always a favorite in our lunches. Now just awful.
Agreed. Nostalgia brings up the memory of going into a different County where all the brands were different from the brands in ones home County. (Circa 1946.)It was like getting a whole new ice cream!
