I’m pretty sure you’re wrong, but I also don’t remember the purported original source. I’m not assuming, though — as you are doing — that the original source was in the US. Yes, I’m old enough to remember when Perrier — imported from France — and San Pellegrino were a big deal, and glass bottles of chinotto were a sophisticated treat. This was many many years ago. It was even better than Icelandic — which I really like now. |
To add: I’m talking: before it was called SmartWater and before Coca Cola acquired the brand. I’m actually curious now, and want to see what history I can find that hasn’t been overshadowed by Coca Cola’s marketing efforts. |
Trader Joes chocolate covered caramel popcorn. |
That sounds so horrifying I would have bought it. |
Cotton clothing. Good wool sweaters.
So hard to find clothing that is not plastic. |
Push up pops!
|
They still sell those! |
So so many but the two that I’d really really like to come back are, in this order, 1) Jello pudding pops (just chocolate is fine) 2) cedar rose blush from Chanel. |
I LOVED these! So addicting. |

I’m fairly old and there is nothing I miss in terms of consumer items. I feel like there are so many choices now. However I miss appliances and cars being made to last longer. I miss garden hoses being made with brass fittings as the new cheap alloy ones bond like glue with brass garden taps. |
Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers |
My picks:
• Max Factor cosmetics • Avon perfumed pins (For example, a plastic chocolate chip cookie 🍪 when opened carried perfume inside.) • Tupperware parties irl (Miss those mini-keychains of Tupperware products!) • Nissan Top Ramen 🍜 flavor Chicken Sesame where it came w/both a seasoning packet AND a small packet of sesame oil • Free cheese/cold cut slices, food samples at Costco. |
