My first act of independence in college was to buy a whole box of twinkies for my very own.

On the savory side I loved LOVED chef boyardee (ew???) raviolis — again, at the neighbor’s house, not allowed at home, and easy cheese on triscuits (neighbor’s), and the one junky food my mom would make: stouffer’s spinach souffle, believe it or not.

I loved our school pizza. Square, with little square cubes of some kind of meat product. Yummy. And ewwww!

And Sara Lee use to make this chocolate cake with icing in that silver foil pan container. I never see that anymore. I miss it.

Oh and those giant sweethearts. I’d work on one all summer long.

And Bosco!!

I did not have any of these.

And I also just remembered that my mom used to put a can of soda in my lunch box when I was in the 2nd grade. What’s up with that? I remember the old pull tabs and how half the time I’d break the tab and not have a drink with my lunch.

My dad would buy us hostess treats every time we were alone together. Or he’d stop at the quik chek at night on his way home from work and bring us Chunky bars.

also: lik-em-aid… sugar.. that you eat with a stick made of sugar… I’m there!

Well it’s no wonder I’m so svelte these days.

Skittles – but only the red, yellow and orange ones. I would pick through the whole bag and leave behind the green and purple ones (they’re bitter) and The Mighty Hunter would be sooo disgusted with me. Now my TMJ prevents me from eating more than just a very few.

I’ll take no jabs about the TMJ, now! wink wink

And I still love Fruit Rollups even though I can’t eat them very often.

Favorite sandwiches were PB&J on wheat bread with Fritos inside it or a Ham sandwich on sourdough with doritios in it. Yes, I was picky. I only bought lunch on chicken nugget day.

Snacks…lets see: Kudos Bars; Fruit Snacks, I’m with you on the strawberry. Hell I still like them, although I don’t buy them; Fruit Roll-ups, I would roll it on my finger and suck it off. Kinda gross now that I think of it.

Fruit Leather, cause my mom actually thought it was better for you. Hahahahaha. Oreos, we always had them, my mom was addicted. Capri Suns for sure. Hi-C’s but I liked them better frozen.

You’re not wrong about Hostess Cupcakes. My mom wouldn’t buy them though. I only got them when I’d spend time at my dads.

I’m also with you on all the candy…I still love it. Just add Starbursts.

Oh but my lunch box was the Muppets. For years and years, I just loved the Muppets.
