Ecstasy Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 As I've been reading this thread I've been laughing. Overall, men have been talking about food and women have been longing for cosmetics. We sound like a bunch of teenagers. Oh well, I guess some things never change.

Kirk Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Trindy, I'll bet they are one and the same. Made by Earthborn Hey, anybody remember Fudge Jumbles? Oatmeal cookie base, brownie center, more oatmeal plopped on top. I'm drooling Kirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid C. Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Every now and then I get the urge for some apple Jello. I'll accept no substitues on this one.And how about White Castles? Are there any of them left? I tried some that I found in the frozen foods section the other day. A poor substitute for those delicious morsels I gobbled regularly as a child in good ol' Ohio. For those who might be listening down under, that's a small, square dinner roll stuffed with a square, ground (minced?) beef patty, cooked with grilled onions and topped with a pickle. Mustard and catsup optional. Food of the gods it was and you bought them by the sack. Muz and Kiwi, better put it on the list for next trip.

Ecstasy Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Reid, you are a man of courage!!! Yes, they're still here and only a few blocks from my house. Here in the Chicago area they're called gutbombs or sliders. The picture that conjures up is frightening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessieboo Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 We had Royal Castle in Miami, they had tiny hamburgers and birch beer. You could buy them by the dozen. They came in flat box like krispy kreme donuts. As a kid, the little burgers where just the right size.But Burger King was King- they started in Miami, so they were/are the local favorite.

Reid C. Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 And that's another thing, Bessiboo! Whatever happened to white birch beer? Not the regular brown stuff, mind you, but the kind that was totally colorless,...like Vodka. As I recall, it had a minty taste when compared to the regular cola-tinted stuff. Used to be able to find it up in the New England states, bottled by Cott or Canada Dry. It's the only thing that can turn me away from Dr. Pepper. Last time I found some in a Connecticut package store, I bought twelve bottles. Yeah, they were glass, so I guess it has been awhile. Only nine survived the suitcase monkeys. I wound up with a severely soggy box while United's LAX baggage carousel took on a rather fresh and wintery aroma. Well that, and a higher than normal degree of stickiness....

Reid C. Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Kathy Lee, you are right on the money. If there were any White Castle stands in LA, I'd be a regular on Kiwi's slimmer thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Lemon-up shampoo! Remember it well! I lived on a "dry" campus in college, and used to keep my vodka in a Lemon-Up bottle right with my other toiletries! No one was ever the wiser!

pierre Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I had some birch beer recently - sorry, can't remember the details of where/when.But! How about "Epinette" (or "spruce beer" in English)? I've only been able to find spruce beer in Quebec (along with a sickeningly sweet soft drink called "Nectar"), although apparently it used to be available in Ontario's Ottawa Valley as well. So, you ask, what is spruce beer? It's a very sweet carbonated soft drink (pop, soda, for those in other jurisdictions) with a Pine-Sol kind of flavour. It's what you think spruce trees would taste like, if you were to eat spruce trees. Which I'm fairly certain most people don't.Is epinette/spruce beer available anywhere else, or must I continue to stock up when I am in "la belle province"? It's not that I like it *that* much, but it is so odd that I can't resist it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bessieboo Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Does anyone remember a drink that was made withlarge tablets? It fizzed and came in many flavors. All I can remember about them is putting them in my mouth without water and My mother freaking out about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darlene Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Several old colognes have been re-issued, but they all have this horrible cheap base note--and do not smell ANYTHING like the originals. They should be sold as "fakes" and not by the original name: They include "Cachet," and Nina Ricci's "L'Air du Temps" among others.They should have not reissued and just left us with the glorious memory. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Two more: Merle Norman used to make two exquisite perfumes: Pikaki and Ginger Flower, both Asian notes. I wish they'd bring them back!While I have found Skinny Dip and other vintage perfumes on Ebay that have not been spoiled, I've never found thsoe two. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
