Something called a 7-Up bar when I lived in California as a kid. It was a candy bar, but was like 7 segments sealed together, one area was coconut, mmm.
In California, I was also able to get a powdered doughnut called Hostess O's, lovely raspberry in a ring inside.
I miss Disneyland and La Brea Tarpits and Santa Monica Pier, and the beach at night after a storm with all those huge broken sea shells lying around, Beef Bowl and Mongos and Sizzler and frozen yogurt places, used bookstores everywhere, and glass sided exercize centers that seemed to have only men...and yes, I used to walk by verrrrrrrrrry slowwwwwwwly, lol. Got to love California sometimes.
Oh! Icecream trucks with that little tinny music playing, and hotpix (toothpicks dipped in cinnamon oil) and SenSen (teensy licorice squares smaller than one of those mini-Chiclets (my grandfather used to suck on these to get rid of tobacco breath).
I miss when ingredients were real...ice cream really came from cream, ice milk really was made from milk, juice was 100% and not 10%, there was real meat in fast food sandwitches and not that bizarre stuff they pass off as meat, when restaurant Ranch Dressing was made with real buttermilk, real butter and real sour cream were offered for baked potatoes, lemonaide had real lemons that had been squeezed that day, pudding was still made with milk and didn't come from a large can, when doughnuts had a fruit jam inside instead of thick synthetic goo, back when bakery made cakes were delicious and not from a box...and the icings were lovely and had to be cooked on top of a double boiler...not just shortning and powdered sugar and flavorings, custard in doughnuts was made with real eggs and not from a can...ah, the list could go on and on so I'd better stop now.
