Eating green beans straight from the can.
I still prefer canned green beans over fresh to this day!

Chicken McNuggets. I remember when they first came out and getting them was such a big deal. They were basically McDonald's attempt to compete with one of their competitors -- take out Chinese food. They were basically sweet and sour chicken. That is why 2/3 of the first sauces offered were hot mustard and sweet n sour (the other was barbecue).

Entenmann's Crumb Donuts - had to look up the name of it, we called them worm donuts, because the crumbs on top looked like little worms

Summer of ‘78 Hershey Whatchamacallit candy bars were new and just about all our swimming pool snack bar sold. Other options were packs of large, round Sweet Tarts that we’d lick until our tongues bled. So gross.
Skating rink sold flat 6 inch rectangles of Jolly Ranchers in green apple and cherry. You’d lick it to a droopy point and then toss otherwise it would take an hour to finish.
I remember having original Capri Suns at a friend’s house and I felt like an astronaut.
Bought original Gator Gum at a sporting goods store.
Around that same time my grandparents in Dallas were friends with a food scientist at Frito Lay's in Dallas, and I remember being given Jalapeno potato chips many years before they ever hit the shelves.
