Ham is another one. I rarely eat ham now and I ate a lot of it when I was a kid. I enjoy it when I eat it, but outside of Christmas, I rarely do.

Lucas Limon.

Instead of lead paint chips, we had sour salt instead.

I think parents now still throw Lucky Charms to the kids, but I would guess the others have gone way down in popularity, but maybe not.




They took the "Sugar" out of the names. I remember Sugar Frosted Flakes, Sugar Smacks, Sugar Pops, etc.

I don't like anything sickly-sweet like I did as a kid. Most pre packaged sweets like hostess cakes, oreos and many cereals I used to love, I don't care for anymore. I can still eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch because it has less sugar than most kid cereals. I don't drink soda anymore, I prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate and think most US mass produced candy bars are not very good. If I have a Dr, Pepper or Coke, I can only drink about half of it before I start getting sick of it. I do notice though, that as I get older, I seem to crave salt more. I would rather have chips and salsa as a late night snack than a bowl of ice cream.

Most of you are probably too young to remember, but there for a while this was a thing.

Frito pies were mentioned earlier. But they had to be served in the bag:

That was fifty years ago and I thought it was Wednesday. Fish always on Friday.

Lunchables aren't out of favor. My kids beg for them every time we go to the grocery store.

No wonder we all grew up to love charcuterie boards...

I'm in awe of all the old jello mold dishes I've seen on the internet. Sorry I missed out on that fad.

Also, has the GB really fallen this far?

15 years ago, a thread like this would've gotten maybe 6 replies and made Page 2 in under 25 min.

11 is pretty good for this board. That's about 217 on F16 and at least 350 on Premium.

Some of you are confusing "fell out of favor" with "no longer exists"

Again you need some education. Ham steaks with homemade mashed potatoes and fresh green beans make a hell of a quick weekday meal.
