They Don't Make It Anymore. . . Defunct Foods You Miss

Fucking CHEEZ BALLS, Cheez-it Buffalo Wings and Ranch Cheez sticks, DUNKAROOS, Ecto Cooler, Take 5 Peanut Butter...

I miss a lot of local stuff from back in Atlantic City. If you're from NJ and/or Philly (I'm looking at you, Tim and Iggy!) - I miss Tasty Kakes (this awesome brand of cookies and cupcakes out of Philadelphia)!

MMMM, I do miss the Krimpets. I used to live out there and now two of my sisters live on the east coast, so whenever they come to visit I make them bring me Tasty Kakes. Nathan doesn't get it. You can buy them online, but you have to buy by the case. So unless you have a very large freezer, it's a no go.

MMMM!!!

The double stuffed Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes are sublime...

I may just eat the whole box!

:P

GODDAMN CRYSTAL PEPSI.

I drank that shit by the gallon as a kid. I loved it. I found an old sealed can of it a few years ago when moving, and I was tempted to crack it open.

Steak finger basket at Sonic. Sonic made the best damn chicken fried steak basket. Delicious. Then they just stopped serving it. Only the chicken basket now. I can taste those tiny chicken fried steak morsels now.

Monterrey Jack Cheese Doritos. *sniff*

This thread makes me sad.

Girl, you're from my neck of the woods! I know, we've been shut out of the krimpet goodness. And here's the thing - you can't really freeze them, because it changes them. The spongecake part gets mushy after it thaws, and the butterscotch frosting gets all runny. They're wrecked after the freezer, you have to find them fresh.

Vin, I'm sorry, I keep forgetting you're a Philly boy! My brother loved the peanut butter kandy cakes! He would eat a whole pack of them in two seconds when my mom would bring them home.

I'm embarrassed to admit this - but the last time I had Butterscotch Krimpets was 2006 - my dad was in the hospital in Philly for heart surgery. So while we were sitting in the waiting area, waiting for him to come out, I went to the vending machines - and lo and behold! Butterscotch Krimpets behind the glass! I waste no time in buying a pack, and then, scooted back to my sister, all "Hey, look! Butterscotch Krimpets!" And then I immediately went, "Yeah, I know, I suck, I'm a bad daughter - dad's in surgery, and I'm all excited to find my favorite Tasty Kake." And she goes, "Yeah, but I'll take one anyway, I haven't had one of those in years." (And yes, Dad came through the surgery fine, so there wasn't a lot of residual guilt afterward.)

Slight derail - I don't know if anyone here besides me is a Judge Judy fan, but there was a case a couple of weeks ago where this idiot teenager got drunk and wrecked his friend's car - completely flipped it upside down onto its roof. Before getting behind the wheel compltely drunk, he took one of those giant sized barrel things of cheese balls, seat-belted it into the passenger side, got behind the wheel, and promptly flipped the car after taking off. So Judge Judy is taking testimony from the kid who owned the car, and they show pictures - the car is totaled of course. They're talking about the drunk kid's injuries, the other stuff he hit, etc. And then he says to her, "Just about the only thing that came out of the wreck okay were the cheese balls, M'aam - they were still strapped into the passenger seat, hanging upside down." That actually got a laugh out of her, which is hard to do.

ALWAYS PROTECT THE CHEEZ BALLS.
