Either way, seeing these vintage foods again brought back some great memories. Check them out!

Real friends don't allow their friends to eat margarine - butter because it's good for you ! Perhaps not for lubrication tho ....

Smurfberry crunch is fun to eat. A smurfy, fruity breakfast treat. Made by smurfs so happily it taste like fruity smurfberries...... Totally remember this jingle for some reason!

Pez was only available in peppermint when it first came out, the name comes from the German word for peppermint (pfefferminz) taking the first, middle and last letter, even though it originated in Austria. -Dani's fun fact of the day (why I know such useless things is a mystery to me)

#17 are still sold in stores everywhere! They are still tasty... I miss French Toast Crunch cereal and the natural flavored Squeez-It juices!

I love all the good ol' food paks there cute & sweet.

LOL! Butter lubricates the veins.... I miss Pudding Pops. I LOVED those things! And the McDonaldland cookies...I've never found anything close. They were so lemony. Mmmmmmm........
