Weekend mornings meant "Freakies Cereal". I loved that stuff! I probably shouldn't admit this, but I still can sing the commercial jingle too. Also have one of the magnets that was a prize in the cereal box on my fridge! Shameful.
The other big treat we would get, back before we had any other fast food places, was "Burger Chef". They had a little cardboard tray that held their version of a happy meal, before there were happy meals. After working (and playing!) on the farm all day in the country it was a big treat to get to stop there on the way home.
I also remember eating something called "Breakfast Squares", that were basically a chocolate type cake thing. But we didn't get those often.

Hi C in the big cans. Only in the summer. They came in lots of flavors and we kept them down cellar to keep cool. i'm sure whatever BPA is my arteries were lined with it.
Ring Ding Jr. i think they were wrapped in foil. i liked them better than the regular Ring Dings.
After school (HS) and i know this is a blood sugar nightmare: bottle of Dr.Pepper or Coke . Yodels (2pak) or Devil Dogs (2) and a big bag of Wise Barbecue potato chips. we ate dinner so late most days it was 7pm before we could eat a meal.

Hostess chocolate (devil's food) cupcakes.
They don't taste the same now as they did when I was a kid. They probably removed all the more expensive, more tasty ingredients.

I remember taking the foil off the Ring Ding Jr and making it smooth! We would take the Yodels and unwind them, eating it layer by layer. Ate candy cigarettes and the wax bottles with some kind of liquid in it. Turkish Taffy, we would slam it and crack it. My goodness, I sure ate a lot of junk as a kid!
