[COLOR="Red"][QUOTE=Pipanella]Both of these from the early 70's, when I was in high school:

Carnation Breakfast Bars - no, not the ones that were granola bars covered in chocolate, these were before those. They were kind of like layered cake/cookies - very dense and moist - and were covered with a thin layer of chocolate coating. [/QUOTE]

OM GOSH YES!!!! I LOVED those breakfast bars, I would eat a WHOLE box of them for breakfast!! I used to sneak money from my parents then sneak out of the house to go to Savon drugs across the street to buy them, it was the only place I knew of that carried them and PIG OUT on them!! Then they just stopped having them around the time the whole Carnation instant breakfast" jingle /product came out, then whats so screwed up is, when they reintroduced them, they SUCKED ***!!! Now they suck and are not even worth looking at much less purchasing. They were covered in thin chocolate, very dense, moist, but not TOO dense and not too dry, they were absolutely the most perfect snack bar ever made, and if I remember they wer fairly nutritious, but who cares they tasted soo fruking good.... DAM I am soo PISSED off about that! Also, Bucc-Wheats cereal they had when I was a kid, my grandmother found them when I was about 6 years old, and used to buy 4 or 5 boxes at a times, I used to LOVE going to her house to eat them, I would eat bowls of it til I burst open, they had a wonderfull honey/maple type flavor, or no more like mollasses/raw cane sugar flavor, with texture sorta like well, not really like ANYTHING else but kinda like wheaties and frosted flakes crossed, but they were almost shiny and hard, but not too hard that you cut the inside of your mouth up, but they had a coating on them that was soo tasty and kept them from getting soggy in milk. This one REALLY PISSED ME OFF!! It was my favorite cereal of all time and I have been craving them ever since they stopped making them those *******s, My grandmother and I craved them soo much that she actually called the company, Ralston I think made them , anyway, she called them and found out where there was stock left of them in the COUNTRY and somehow found some out of the way indie grocery store in Malden , Massachusetts that had like 8 boxes left that were still in date for some reason they had not sold but had sat there on the shelf and she ordered them. This was about 6 months after not being able to get them in California, so my grammy and me would get together every saturday morning and she would toast me up some nice buttered egg bagels, homemade hot chocolate (she made it with really good unsweetened super high quality baking chocolate, whole milk from the GLASS bottle and suger until it was just right, then bring it to me while I watched saturday morning cartoons with a big heaping bowl of buccwheats and milk. Those years I spent with my grandmother were more precious than a one ton gold brick ****ting a 10 ton platinum bar and made me the man I am today, she gave me some of the only love I ever had as a child, completely unconditional, unending love of a grandmother for her grandson......:o :cry: :( ;) :roll: she is such a wonderfull person and I am forevor gratefull to her for all she has done for me, I dont know many grandmothers who would search the world to get discontinued cereal for her grandson because she knew how much I enjoyed them! *sniff* that kind of love is soo rare nowadays its almost unheard of. This world we live in is soo callous and cold, heartless and without much of a soul left that is shocks me to think about it and what we as a race have become. But you have to visualize "Whirled Peas" you know>? Because if you dont then you tend to go crazy just thinking about all the bad ****. Anyway its late and I never knew how much I could ramble on and on about cereal food items that no longer exist and never will exist ever again. But it is funny, if you think back you can almost still taste them if you try hard enough, (dont try too hard though, I ended up in the ER last time ) :laugh:

So I hope you have enjoyed reading my lengthy rambling crazy stupid stinky spongyraunchy gassy toejammy gouty gaudy proctologyistic post!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, and finally thank you, I glub you all from the bottom of my heart! But I swear I am completely sane and normal, really, I am, and if you dont believe me then why dont you try to figure out how many pancakes it takes to reshingle YOUR doghouse if your sailing through the dessert (not desert) on a canoe with no sails, because some say it takes around 8, but only because iced scream has no bones, or so they say, and that is what they say, but then again, who exactly IS they?? And what exactly IS the meaning of the word "is"? or "Um" Or "OR"?? Yes, please explain the meaning it the word "Or" for me please. I am thinking that it may explain the origin of existence... Beep-beep-beep-beep,,,,beep-beep-beep-beep-beep.... My alarm just went off reminding me to take my MEDICATION!! Which I have been off of for nearly 83 and 1/16th hours and 400th of 1 millisecond. Crazy I am crazy im not crazy I am crazy im not CRAZY I AM!!!! (COOL!@)[/COLOR]
