Well folks, I can verify that Jell-O Pudding Pops still exist!  I just finished a vanilla flavored one!  I bought a 12 pack of them at the grocery this morning!

The collective weight of the JBF just increased three-fold thanks to this thread.

Also, BBQ pizza at Pizza Hutt during the 80's and early 90's. Most amazing pizza ever!

This thread brings back a lot of memories.  Someone mentioned "New York Seltzer" which made my taste buds quiver with the memory of the Peach Seltzer.  I did some research on that stuff a few years ago, and their name is owned by some other company now, and once in a great while they put out some product under that name, but I don't know if it's the same stuff or not. 

One funny thing:  apparently in New York the stuff was known as "San Fransisco Seltzer" which amused me greatly. 

The one thing I really miss, and I've been completely unable to locate, are Root Beer popsicles.  My dad would buy a big bag of those and we'd all fight over the root beer ones, and eventually it was great because the store sold a bag of JUST Root Beer popsicles.

Life Savers lollipops were great, Darren.

Speaking of Life Savers, anyone else a fan of the butter rum flavor ones?

I was.  Haven't had them in years though.  They were right up there with the Wild Cherry ones.

Don't you remember, mid-late 90's, Pepsi went through an eclipse and came out with electric powers and the ability to teleport instead of its usual super strength and flight? No?

Must have been the month before Namora found me in the icecap.

Surprised to learn these are still made:

Bought them last time I was at Bethany Beach at a specialty toy store, Darren. Not as good as I recalled - root beer flavor was painful!

A & W cream soda. It was like a smoother, richer, less sweet version of cream soda with a reddish brown color. Very surprised when that got discontinued.
