I miss Dreshels (sp?) frozen cakes, and Stouffers frozen cupcakes.

I have not been a big Hostess fan for a few years, but it looks like we will be missing them, too, as existing supplies are sold out. Someone will buy the brands, and maybe improve quality. I note that the experts think that the brand names, alone, will sell for more than a year of annual sales for the former maker.

Labor said that management was poor, and management says that labor was greedy. Maybe they were both right. I doubt that the new brand owner will be looking for employees from either camp.

A baked treat I can barely remember and have no name for: a small chocolate cake with a cavity in the center filled with banana-flavored cream. My mother used to buy them at Safeway in the early 70s, possibly made by Hostess but I'm not positive.

That was the Banana Dream, by Mickey (ABC). I believe it's been discussed it this thread, and it has its own thread.

Won't it be ironic if Twinkies ends up added to this discussion! Who could ever imagine?

Coke and Pepsi made with real sugar in glass bottles. yes, I know you can get it from Mexico and I do buy it but it should be available everywhere.

They have to be refillable glass bottles though carrying a deposit. Twouldn't taste right or be right otherwise.

Here are a few pictures of my kitchen pantry in which I store my bottle and glass collection:

My list:

1. Mad Hatter Potato Chips

2. Krun-Chee Potato Chips

3. Green Onion Flavour Potato Chips

4. Neilson's Jersey Milk Treasures

Jersey Milk Treasures were like boxed chocolate but in a standard chocolate bar. The flavours of the individual pieces were strawberry cream, bordeaux, nougat, caramel, praline and turkish delight. This and the liquid Four Flavours below were discontinued by Cadbury Schweppes when they took over Neilson's in 1996.

5. Neilson's Liquid 4 Flavours

Liquid Four Flavours were like Caramilk but squarer and covered with dark chocolate. The soft fillings were chocolate, vanilla, caramel and my favourite, bordeaux!

6. Neilson's Peppermints and Neilson's Caramels. Like Rolos.

7. Neilson's Nutty.

I've already phoned in a couple of death threats to Cadbury but they refuse to reinstate the above chocolates. You just can't reason with these multi-national conglomerates.

8. Christie's Butter Tarts

Incredibly messy two packs available at corner variety stores!

They still have Pepsi Throwback here in the states. Forget if they had a glass bottle edition (it's usually Coke that does that).

I bought some orange Fizzies last week at The 99¢ Only Store here in the Los Angeles area.

I remember not liking them but I had to buy them for my brother.

Fizzies need to be brought back. The originals were made with cyclamates, but once that artificial sweetner was banned, Fizzies were discontinued. Apparently, no other artificial sweetener holds together in tablet form.

I also grew up with Fizzies. I don't remember being that crazy about the taste; they seemed inferior to real soda like Coke or Pepsi to my 5 year-old palate. We get the Vermont Country Store catalogue fairly regularly and I thought I'd seen Fizzies for sale there. A search in their online catalogue shows they are available:

Kool-Aid now has a Fizzies knockoff called "Kool-Aid Fun Fizz", available wherever Kool-Aid is sold. They do taste similar to Fizzies, but the tablets are smaller, so they can be dropped in a water bottle. However, once the tablet is dissolved, it doesn't keep its fizz as long as the old Fizzies.
