Wacky Wafers candy
Bottle Caps candy
Deep Magic face cream
Clairol Sunshine Harvest Shampoo in strawberry
Prell Shampoo in the tube, not bottle
The old L'Oreal styling products - packaging reminded me of Mondrian (late 80's-90's)
Salon Selectives styling products - the scent was magical & could mask so much club smoke
Body on Tap Shampoo
Earth Born Shampoo
Black (licorice) & Red (cinnamon) jawbreakers in the same bag
Clearly Canadian drinks
Kissing Potion - gross, but I still miss it
Village Lip Lickers in the gold tins
Clove soap bar from the Body Shop
Rootbeer float popsicles from Kroger's
Candy dishes in living rooms
+1 regarding Black-eyed Pea restaurants - I've tried to duplicate their squash casserole to no avail
+1 to Planter's Cheese Balls in the can




I forgot all about those Village Lip Lickers. I have fond memories of riding my bike down to the gift shop and buying these! I think I was nine or ten. I so wanted to wear makeup and this was the closest I could get.


You can still buy Lip Lickers

Is the Bottle Caps candy they sell now different? 'Cause you can still buy it.

And, yes, I loved those L'Oreal products.

E.L. Fudge? I loved those?


Fudgetown? Those were my favorites.

+1 million. I loved those.


Yes, please! Just find a different spokesperson and they are set for a comeback.

I make my own with pop molds and the instant jello. They aren’t as good as the original ones, but definitely better than nothing.


Do yours form that thin layer of ice that came off in one piece? I loved that.


OMG YES!!!!!

Yes!!!



They still make those.

I saw them in Asheville in a Mast General Store


I was about to joke that this looks like something you could order from Vermont Country Store, and then I decided to look. If they're not Charms, they're very close:

Yikes. PTSD flashback from choking on one of these and needing my brother to do the Heimlich on me! Popped one in my mouth and it just immediately slid down and lodged in my throat.
But they were delicious!


Me too! My grandmother always had them around. I got one caught in my windpipe once and thought I was a goner.

This is completely obscure and likely unknown to most posters here, but grew up in Western NY. I miss Swiss Chalet chicken. I think there are still some in Canada. I remember our family trips to Swiss Chalet so fondly.

What I wouldn't give for our county to have an informed do over!!


It really showed how biased much of the media is. I mean the sad faces with a few crying instead of being good sports. When all those blue states turned red the panic and realization started to set in. It was pretty funny all their lies and fake polls did them in. I just go to Youtube to see Election Day Eve - it's great!!! The Dems still haven't learned, they won't be able to hide Biden's cognitive decline much longer. And the debates...oh know....


"...oh know..."

Do you mean "oh no"?

You truly baffle me. I can imagine being excited on election day 2016 if Trump was your guy, however since he’s been in office and has shown that the only person Trump cares about is himself, I would’ve thought your eyes would’ve been opened. I guess not

I loved Farrell's! We had one nearby when I was growing up in central NJ. The scene in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure with the Ziggy Pig always brings back fond memories of Farrell's!
