When you were a kid did you have Nabisco Vanilla Wafers as a staple in your house?

No, not a staple.

Every few months if mom could afford it, she would buy a box of vanilla pudding mix, bananas and the Vanilla Wafers and we would have banana pudding, it was a treat.

Yes & so funny you should ask...I have a family size box setting next to me right now, eating them with my coffee.

I remember when Nabisco stopped making the marshmallow sandwich cookies which I loved. When Nabisco discontinued these cookies I lost a favorite treat. However, I would buy the Vanilla wafers and put a marshmallow between two of them as a substitute! No, it wasn't the same as the marshmallow sandwich cookie but it tasted good. The vanilla wafers allowed me to at least have my treat back!!!!!!

I remember vanilla wafers but we had homemade chocolate chip cookies 🍪 as a staple.

No, if we had store bought cookies, they were something chocolate covered.

In our house full of tea drinkers, we had SocialTea cookies and Lorna Doones.

I remember Lorna Doones but only had them once in a while. My DH's best buddy;s mom made some cloyingly sweet 'nilla wafer' dessert made with them and some eagle brand milk . . . it truly hurts me teeth to even think about it! LOL!
