You had to post that. Now I’m forced to try it ;)

[Lee Enfield]

It’s still on the shelf at Walmart.

[VeniVidiVici]

I’ll be darned. You’re right!

It might be on Amazon, too. Pretty pricey, but fun for a novelty.

The Jello stuff that leveled off in 3 tiers. The top was poofy.

American beer was popular. Now I only drink it in a bar to save a buck.

Stationed in Berlin I went to my first German-American beer fest there - think it was July.

Loved German beer!

However, I walked in the gate to the fest and was passing German after German toting out cases of American Budweiser.

Finally I stopped one guy and asked him why all these Germans were taking home Bud.

He replied, "In summer it's nice. It's like Kool-Aid!"

LOL!

When did casseroles, Sloppy Joes, Peanut Butter (particularly peanut butter!), oatmeal and Boxed mac and cheese (I don’t like it!) become unpopular or drop out of sight?

The only ones I no longer routinely see are pop rocks (not sure what that is!) & Poke cake (again not sure what that is!).

In the 70s-before everyone got a microwave-we had “boil-in-bag” frozen meals. Now they are called “sous vide”.

Hah! I was going to post Space Food Sticks, but I figured someone else had beat me to it. Space Food Sticks and Freakies cereal — those are the two I want again.

“That is funny Ayds was like every other commercial, in the late 70’s, and early 80’s.”

I also remember Ayds being advertised in the back of Parade magazine in the Sunday paper.

Those foods are all the cheap, ‘poor people foods’ we ALL had to eat in the 70’s when Carter was starving us out!

Brandon is doubling down, AND is on steroids these days!

I remember shrimp cocktails in a glass. Had a tin to seal it.

I remember “Snackin’Cakes”,they were a mix that made a moist cake that needed no frosting-I preferred the chocolate chip version.

[Jamestown1630]

We loved Sloppy Joe (Manwich) when we were kids; but when I try it now, the canned stuff is too salty.
