Your childhood cravings as an adult.

I don't ever recall seeing this.     

I used to love the Hostess fruit pies though.  Apple, especially.   Next time I see one I'm getting it.  It's been 20 years, at least.   

King Dons too.   Yummm.   I used to bite the sides off, then the top, then eat the spongy chocolate cake with cream filled center.    My mom hated the way I would eat it.   She would said I looked like a squirrel chewing on a nut.

Probably why it says "NEW."   

Smart aleck!

1985-86, would have been right in the years where I would have devoured this.   I was a pudding freak.     I swear this had to be a regional thing.   They never had it in Michigan.

I used to love the vanilla pudding pies. I haven't seen them in forever. Just as well. The pudding would be made of high fructose corn shit now anyway.

Maybe I'll ask my wife to make me some real pudding pies.

How about a puddin' pop?

The snack you have no choice but to say yes to.

The problem is that you can never be certain where he plans on putting it.

That's why I only eat organic... I can actually PRONOUNCE all of the ingredients, and I don't need a PhD in organic chemistry to figure out if it's BAD for me. ;-)

Makes you wonder what all that shit does to your internal organs.

Here you go!!

My question is, do you have to find a tiny little man with a tiny little stool and a tiny little bucket to milk them?

[RopeFiend]

I'll stick with my almond milk, but thanks for your concern! 

I don't really like kale much... nor do I like quinoa.  The things that 'scientists' think are good for me don't usually register on my internal food-o-meter.  I learned years ago that it's pretty accurate.  For a decade I'd been feeding a craving for spinach, then I found out that I was anemic.  Gee, I can guess where the fondness for spinach came from!  Other foods I get an "eh, so what" reaction to, so I don't stuff up on 'em.  I do like tofu, if it's prepared right.  All by itself it's pretty bland and texture-less, but something inside says "YES, MOAR OF THAT!" when I have it.  I get a wildly strong positive reaction to fresh garlic, so I have lots of that, too.  I keep it just below the point where you can smell it on me.  Something inside wants raspberries and fresh cranberries, so they're on the regular diet, too.

I'd read a few different reports on "if you have a craving for X, eat Y", but Y was always some strange chemically-manufactured 'thing', so I just eat more X.  It works for me.

This weekend I had a s'more.    I've had some over the past couple of years, but I remember when I was young.  I loved them.   mmmmmm   
Now they put peanut butter cups  yummmmmm, kit-kat's, peppermint patties.    Goooey marshmallows.

[ChirpingGirl]

Haven't seen these since I was a kid. 

[MintJulie]

Didn't know the FLAMING HOT was old.   Thought it just came to be about 10 years ago.   Or maybe I'm just old.

I only like original.   Sams club has the ginormous bags for cheap.   I usually get 3 bags.   I only eat 3 chips a day, so they last a while.  LOVE THEM.   If I get Subway, I will put them, or Sunchips as the top layer.   


Still on the chip topic.

Sour Cream and Onion potatoe chips.      I used to eat it all the time as a kid.   Loved it.  Haven't had it in years. 

[MintJulie]

Chip Dip.     In my 20's stoner days, I'd get a sleeve of saltine crackers and chip dip and devour it.    I don't know how I didn't get heavy, I ate terribly.     In college when all the other girls put on the freshman 15, I lost 5 pounds.   

[MintJulie]

Ummmmm..... China? ? ?

[GEMINIGUY]

Texas has 500 Doritos flavors??? Like a decade or more ago there was Sour Cream Doritos and Monterey Jack Doritos, then they disappeared here. Are those down there?

[GEMINIGUY]

lol I think lately i've seen three or four flavors of Doritos. The big ones every place seems to have are the Nacho Cheese and Cool Ranch.
