Well young adulthood really. I loved these with a cup of coffee. 4.5 oz of wholesome fat and sugar goodness. Add caffeine and it was an instant jolt of energy.

The teenage mutant ninja turtles ones were the best!

Memories! My husband’s favorite, along with mini table top pies.

Pork rinds. Still around. Still disgusting. View attachment 37845

Have you ever seen them made? I was at Silver Dollar City in MO and there was this enormous kettle of hot oil, and this guy tossed in a scoop of small black squares that immediately exploded into pork rinds- wow!

I have to put the chocolate covered Oreos in here.

Those were sinfully good

In central PA they have the infamous Whoopi Pies. Growing up in Maryland about 5 miles from the PA border I had the wonderful experience of eating those with high test (original sugar content) Mountain Dew when we went to our favorite roadside produce stand/market. I now understand why I was not allowed in the house for an hour or so after we got home.

While I was matriculating in Morgantown the snack of choice was a good greasy pepperoni roll and beer. I'm getting heartburn just thinking about them.

I noticed that about Twinkies too. If you're going to bring a product back you need to keep the original ingredients & amounts!!!!

You guys are all playing around at this stuff. Amatuers. You're all bush league. I grew up in the worst kind of ghetto you can imagine. We were poor poor. For snack/dessert (and believe me this is no lie) we kids use to buy a stick of butter (they were cheap) and dip it in sugar. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm boy, now that's disgustingly, stomach turning, good eating. And I ain't the only one.

Candy cigarettes. My dad would light the end for me so it would look authentic.

As long as you didn't inhale.

Almost as bad...A New York Treat: Pane con Ciccioli

When I met my husband, he told me about this special bread his grandmother used to make as a Christmas treat. Since I’m into baking, I decided to give it a shot. Many years later, I’m still making it every year. At first, only the adults would eat it, but now a lot of the younger ones like it, too.

What you mean almost as bad? Ciccioli/Cicola (depending where one comes form) bread is great. You can find them in almost any Italian deli's. If you're from CT, "Little Italy" Deli/Pizza in Wallingford makes a great one, but only for the weekends.

How 'bout the one and only Susie Q's ! Disappeared, then came back, but without the massive amount of creme between layers. Fans complained to Hostess, and now they are back with the original crème. Love eating them in the car while driving. I can find bits and pieces on the steering wheel, etc for days after.

These were my afternoon favorite snack on the walk home from school with a cherry coke at the counter in the drug store. They are still available today and here in CT now..
