Pillsburry French Vanilla Frosting

They cancelled it and kept the regular Vanilla. Duncan Hines makes the best Vanilla Frosting out of the Big 3. But its pale in comparison to the ole Pillsbury French Vanilla.

Not a HUGE Twinkie fan but I like the regular ones better than the chocolate.

Have you ever tried a Chocodile? Good luck finding those!
Quote from jeepdog :
Chocodiles are the best. My cousin was actually able to get me some for hristmas last year. I think he had to order them from a specific bakery out west, as they are no longer marketed anywhere but the western states.
Quote from LordOfChaos :
I made some ghetto chocodiles a little while back. Not as good as the real thing, but worked in a pinch.

Just got some of that Almond Bark Chocolate whatever stuff they sell at Wal Mart and a box of Twinkies...
Never heard of Chocodiles but I'll have to look around and see if I can find them here. I've run across several foods that are sold in California but not the PNW. Dontknow

Cates Pickles

Commercial from the 80s. [google.com]

Regional pickle companies were bought up by consolidator Deans. Cates were made in North Carolina.

I miss the things that were like Cheetos, but weren't Cheetos. The ones that came in the can with the Planters peanut guy on them.

Weeping Those were good! I don't like Cheetos that much, but I liked the ones in the can Sadwalk

LOVED those. I think they were $1.

I've only seen imitations at The Christmas Tree Shop. From time to time I see them on older shows.

Yeah, those were good! Forgot about those!

Wise Cheese Doodles are good as an alternative.

Wise makes the best plain potato chips, hands down.

Walker's Cheese & Onion Crisps....not discontinued, but not readily available in the US, only available in UK and too expensive online.
