What are the foods from your childhood?

As the title suggests, share them! :p:

I have so many, so I'll only list a few:
Supernoodles with chopped up hot dogs (My Dad couldn't cook...)
Gobstoppers
Endless Pic 'n' Mix (White Mice, Shrimps and Bananas, Giant Jazzles)
BN Biscuits
Kinder Surprise :coma:

And if anyone remembers it, Simpsons Cereal? They did crisps too. :wink:

It doesn't have to be discontinued foods!

peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, kraft mac n cheese, these bitsize microwavable burgers and pizzas, ramen noodles... I think I mostly remember American things that we don't get over here

Hm. I've just realised that I don't link many particular foods or meals to my childhood. I probably didn't eat much anyway; I was a weird gangly little thing, and was always being shifted about to various childminders, so I didn't eat at home a great deal.

Only thing I can think of are these chocolate monster things. Does anyone remember them? Yowies, I think they were called. Hand-sized, and inside was a little animal figurine. My mum used to buy me one when she was guilty about something or another. I have an absolutely massive collection of those plastic animals still.

I used to do that for my sister. Spent ages on it (especially the As), but she never appreciated it.

the long sherbet things which looked absolutely huge, but now they're disappointing. I miss being small.
the small sherbet things that cost 1p or 2p each from the corner shop.

the crisp shop at primary school (I bet it's not there now) where I got my Tangy Toms, Space Raiders, Bikers etc. for 10p.

Party Rings.
Screwballs. I was gutted when the ice-cream man came today and I had no change and was home alone.
Chucky egg and soldiers and my gran's house :coma:

She still makes it for me now :sogood:
