And Carnation instant breakfast. The stuff that you would stir into milk. I think it came in chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. |

I went to a school full of poor kids with a 50% dropout rate, lol. They didn’t give us any snacks at all. |

Hawaiian Punch in a big can you had to punch triangles into with a bottle opener. Also V8 in a big can.
“Western” salad dressing that had bull horns on the label and it was basically French. Salad with blue cheese in it on holidays. Hickory Farms gift boxes of summer sausage, cheese, and sweet hot mustard on Christmas. Hostess pies in blackberry, lemon, peach and chocolate (I think you can only get them an apple and cherry now). |

Wow, what a good reference. I had totally forgotten about that, but now I can see those triangles in the lid like it was yesterday! Somehow reminds me of drinking Tab and stringing all the pop tabs together in a long chain to drape around your room, and then being disappointed when they came out with the opening tabs that stayed on the can! |

PP and singing the jingle right now: Carnationnnn Instant Breakkkfassst! You’re gonna love it in an instant! One summer, my sweet grandparents thought I could use a few extra pounds (I was a scrawny, frail 10 year old) and make me milkshakes in a blender with ice, whole milk and chocolate Instant Breakfast. I miss the breakfast bars and their crunchy, dry and powdery goodness. Another memory: corn on the cob with the then-new squeeze butter! Was that Parkay? |

Hawaiian Pinch in the big can = childhood classroom and backyard birthday parties and Brownie Meetings after school on Monday. Weekly, a Brownie was assigned Hawaiian Punch, another paper napkins and best ever was if you were given the empty tin - you needed to bring it back filled with homemade cookies. First time I’d ever had Rice Krispy treats was in 1977 at Brownies. In 1980, a classmate brought in Jello Jigglers for his class birthday party and I thought these were amazing! |

toaster strudels (so much better than pop tarts- they came with a separate pack of glaze that you’d spread on the hot toasted strudel)
baked beans with hot dogs tuna noodle casserole with crushed ritz on top bagel pizza tuna fish on an egg bagel rice krispies with a spoonful of sugar and milk bologna on rye with yellow mustard good humor toasted almond bars from the ice cream truck so many candies, that we’d buy at the roller rink or the local drugstore- candy necklaces, jolly rancher sticks, chuckles, good n plenty and, i still remember when we got a microwave and the only thing we knew to make in it was melted cheese on triscuits- seemed delicious! |
