Food Or Foods That You Miss Most From When You Were A Kid.

I'm just curious as to what foods anyone misses from when they were growing up. I know everyone has their own favorite.

For me, my hands down favorite was Hi-C Ecto Cooler. Doesn't hurt that I'm a huge Ghostbusters fanatic.

What about everyone else?

In order of preference.

1. My mother's cooking before she decided to make everything "healthier"
2. My grandmother's cooking
3. Orbitz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbitz_%28soft_drink%29) Edited by Arcane

In addition to many of the above items:

Clearly Canadian before they changed their formula to a sugarfree abomination and went under as a result :( The blackberry was probably my favorite soda ever:

the only diet I follow currently is anti-pop(soda)

I used to drink anywhere from 6-10 20oz cokes a day. I am generally always thirsty and that tasted good as well as was always on sale. Actually a lot of my appetite is suppressed by fluid intake(long story but it involves my job and not having time to stop and eat or being able to bring a lunch). I was concerned that I could be pre-diabetic from all of that intake of pop, got checked and was safe...but said screw it, thats 1500-2500 calories a day. I switched to sobe life water(stevia for sweetener which is 0 calories, super sweet, and safe/non-artificial...wont do artificial anything when it comes to sweets). Within a month and a half I lost apx 45 lbs, maybe two months...recently put a little bit back on because of traveling for work and having to eat dinner right before bed, and also from prednizone for poison ivy and sumac, but hell, I'm healthier and skinnier.
I still allow myself soda in this diet, up to 2 20oz a day(which I never hit), I might have two cans a day on occasion. The only time I really chug pop now is when I have whiskey to mix with it.

I dont mind so much now being nearly pop free, when before I would go nuts because I was raised in a family of big pop drinkers(uncle I work for only drinks pepsi and coffee and has stock in pepsi co). I'm happy with the sobe life water even though it can break bank when I dont have time to get it at costco and have to but it for 1,69 a bottle plus tax at a convenient store(i buy usually 6 or more for the work day), but its worth it I would say.

If you are a big pop drinker and want to lose weight, try lifewater and cut pop out almost completely, I'm living proof that pop packs the pounds(and diet is no good, dont bother...its sweetener is proven to cause cancer amongst other risks)
