Speaking of....same era.....probably deserves its own thread..but old school 60's/70's era candy.Mine would make them and turn them upside down on coke bottles to cool.
Ok that’s weirder than my snacks. Way to go!Peanut Butter and Scrambled Egg Sandwich
Kids can still walk to schoolSpeaking of....same era.....probably deserves its own thread..but old school 60's/70's era candy.
Those stupid wax little coke bottles filled with flavored juice.
I have to say I would never trade the era I grew up in with what kids have now. Sure, they have cooler and more realistic video games. But you know the whole walking to school thing, and having small little mom and pop stores along the way, stopping on the way home to pick up a Yahoo, or candy cigarettes, or dip in stix, some baseball cards, life was really good then.
SeriouslySome of these options sound
like they’re from The Great Depression.
I was just talking about the proximity of schools and neighborhood shops. Most of those are gone from the suburbs.Kids can still walk to school
It is honestly far safer now then back then.
I grew up in good South Carolina , came North after HS in '72 at the urging of my dad's youngest brother who got me a job up here, turned out it was a great time to be a college football fan in Pittsburgh, and to top it off Coach Majors sounded just like , well it sounded just like being back home, of course recruiting one Tony Dorsett made it all the sweeter.what the hell kind of Pitt fan reminisces about "soda"? the word is pop.
I’m sure in some placesI was just talking about the proximity of schools and neighborhood shops. Most of those are gone from the suburbs.
I was born late to my parents. They were both born in the 20s and grew up in the depression, so I'm sure it had a lot of bearing on how I was raised.Some of these options sound

Would do similar but with yellow mustard instead of spray cheeseWhen I was young, I’d make these quick, cheap “hors d’oeuvres” from crackers, cheese, and pepperoni. Take any large cracker(s), put a thin slice of pepperoni on it, then top it with any kind of “meltable” cheese. Heat under a broiler (or in a microwave) until the cheese melts.
Many years later, I made these for my kids, and they loved them. They’re great to eat while watching football on TV, and the ingredients are foods that we usually have on hand. (And they go well with beer or wine.)
Isalys chipped ham (in Jeannette) sandwiches
I know it sounds stupid now but I guess I really didn’t know there were a bunch of them. I didn’t have much mobility opportunities growing and then I went away for college. After college moved away and only returned to visit family.Was it different in Jeannette than in their other 50 western PA stores?
YES! Ham Barbecue. My mom still makes this to this day and it is still absolutely awesome that just like a grilled cheese and tomato soup can transport you back in time.Italy’s chipped ham although awesome was pretty white and fatty..had to use their BBQ sauce...
Also made BBQ’s with ketchup and coke.....plus a little relish and mustard...
Chicken and dumplings is one of those dishes for me.YES! Ham Barbecue. My mom still makes this to this day and it is still absolutely awesome that just like a grilled cheese and tomato soup can transport you back in time.
I remember Tang. The drink of astronauts.Fried baloney on white bread. Tang orange juice. Canned cheese whiz. Isaly's skyscraper cone as a treat when there was extra money in the house.
Those who don't think marketing matters. Tang was bleeping horrible. And horrible for you. (It was essentially orange flavored sugar). But man as kids, if the Astronauts are drinking it, it must be cool!I remember Tang. The drink of astronauts.
Rainbow skyscraper. Like $0.15....what a treat.Fried baloney on white bread. Tang orange juice. Canned cheese whiz. Isaly's skyscraper cone as a treat when there was extra money in the house.
