Blackwater 53393 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I’m pretty sure my mom still has several pieces of Corning Ware! We saw it at the New York World’s Fair in 1964 and she ordered the casserole and the skillet on the spot! Other stuff followed. The day she dropped and broke the skillet was a day that “shall live in infamy”!! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 I have had Ding Dongs in foil. It was probably 1969 or 1970. You had to buy a box. The individually sold ones were in plastic, 2 to a pack. I was a master Jiffy Pop popper, according to my Mom. I could do 2 at a time and never burned them. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) I could never make Jiffy-pop. It always scorched. And it was expensive compared to regular popcorn And the regular bread for hotdogs was the normal way. Buns were for special occasion parties and company or Knights of Columbus picnics.

I also remember freezing 'em! 😋 On one of those SOUTHERN THING videos, a guy mentions taking a Little Debbie Swiss cake roll fresh out of the freezer. Now, I had never tried that, but it sounded interesting. So I bought a box for the first time in 10 years or more. Frozen - them things is good. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) I'e had every one of those and still have a few today like the wooden bowl. I'm in my parents house, it's mine now, and my mom had a lot of these things. We always had Nestle's powdered chocolate!! I drove an ice cream truck one summer when I was 17 and ate a ton of those Orange sherbert Push ups!!!

Black Angus McPherson Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I remember them all. I never had fried bologna, tho. We ate ours raw. Hot dogs on bread was SOP. Hot dogs on buns was for picnics. Foil wrapped Ding Dongs? Absolutely. My wife bought a box for the first time in I don't know how many years. When I first grabbed the box out of the pantry I thought of them being foil wrapped. I knew they wouldn't be, but I thought of it. I didn't think about the fact they would be 33% smaller than the originals. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw an episode of mash. This would be the late 70s, so I was out of high school by that. And they're going through the chow line, and Hawkeye put a hot dog on a slice of white bread. Held the bread in the discharge of the steam tray for a little bit, to get it soft enough so it would bend, but he put a hot dog on the slice of bread. And I thought that was so cool. I had never considered that. Bread was for sandwiches and toast. Hot dogs were on hot dog buns. Hamburgers and sloppy joes were on hamburger buns. We never ate that stuff on sandwich bread. Truthfully, I didn't even know you could. It's like growing up putting actual cream in your coffee. Never occurs to you that you could also use milk, because you use cream. That's just the way you do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Boy, all of those pic's bring back memories, oddly all good memories. I remember Ding Dongs in the foil but it really didn't matter if it was foil (or if it was the Swiss Rolls) or plastic, the chocolate icing was always stuck to the wrapper. Even the one shown...guarantee the chocolate is stuck to the foil. The candy cigarettes that I remember actually came in a "pack". Sugar with red, food coloring red flame at the end of cigarette. I used to get the Life Saver book at Christmas as a gift every year. I had forgotten about the Butter Rum Lifesavers, those things were gooooood. Thanks Pat Edit - If you don't have a favorite pan like that....You ain't a cook. Edited August 21 by Cypress Sun 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 Regarding “Fried Baloney”; I hated the stuff. It gave me monster headaches. The same for SPAM. And, believe it or not, corn curls. I learned years later it was because of the nitrates and nitrites in the stuff they called meat. As for the corn curls I have no idea why they gave me a headache but cheese doodles did not. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The penny 'vitamins' probably were for stopping the headaches from eating fried baloney (Bologna). 😀 If I recall, those 'vitamins' were a Cod Liver Oil pill. In elementary school, they were kept in a bowl, next to the cashier, at the end of the lunch line. And yes, they only cost 1-cent. This would have been around 1957 thru 1963. ..........Widder 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
