TidBIts  THANK YOU!  I've been trying to think of the name of those for AGES!  They were the absolute best!  Remember Chick'n in a Biscuit crackers? 

Having SO much fun reading these!


I remember Quisp vs. Quake.  The contest.  I was a big fan of Quisp.  Little flying saucers which sogged better in the milk than the Quake. Or maybe I just liked the outer space character better than the hard hatted muscle bound quake character I am envisioning after all these years.   

 

I can't believe Tidbits aren't around anymore.  They were excellent. 

 

Razzles - is it a candy or is it a gum?  haha  It was a candy and yet, it was a gum!!  But I do remember 1 was not enough, you had to pop several in your mouth in order for it to amount to anything.

@Group 5 minus 1  They were one of the first artificial sweeteners before saccharine.  They were deemed  cancer causing and pulled from the market.


As I recall, the banning of Cyclamates is why Funny Face went off the market- Because then we only had saccharine to use and it was awful! I know saccharine came first, but it wasnt used in that stuff back then, cause it was so bitter-

 

Remember Sucaryl????

@shoekitty -

I remember those Nabisco raisin ones too!

It is weird cause they were so plain, and not very flavorful but I loved them too.

Just the right amount of chewy and raisins and the flat biscuit just was a good contrast to the sweet raisins.

Maybe they are still around?

Re: Foods that you miss that are no longer being made

I remember those raisin cookies, too. I don't remember who made them, but, all I could find was Sunshine that was bought out by Keebler that was bought out by Kellogg.  I can't find any mention of Nabisco.

 

Is this the kind of cookie you're all talking about? 

 

(Weren't the packages kind of see-through and plain, though?)

@BklynKinsey, I wanted to mention these cookies, but I couldn't remember what they were called.  Thank you!  It's been a very long time, but I still miss them.  So good!
