    What I miss the most about these nostalgic candies is the prices now get something similar,, but the prices are just outrageous just for 1 candy bar 2.00 bucks

    😢I used to love the chocolate flavored Velamints. Not crazy about Bonkers. I liked Gatorgum. Fizzies were just fun, not that good, but they tickled your nose. Summit bars too many similar bars. Don’t remember Tongue Splashers, but I was an adult by then, not into having a dyed tongue. Chicken Dinner, they were so good! And weird! Bit-O-Choc were pretty good. Bit-O-Honey is still good. Bar None? Eh! Milk Shake was good because of the malted flavor. Magic Middles, ok, but not too similar to other cookie and chocolate combos. Tato Skins! They were pretty good. Rally Bar, I can’t say I ate them very often. Clark Bar? Didn’t know they no longer made them! I guess I wasn’t a big fan. Milkfuls! Never tried them. Butternut Bar 😋 Grandma loved them. Skör Bar? Didn’t try. NERDS Cereal??? No thanks! Lifesavers Holes- a take off in Dunkin Donuts Donut Holes. I prefer regular lifesavers.

    Even though the 80’s are long gone and it was indeed a wonderful time, I still think modern times are better. I hope I’m not stepping on some toes here, but do you really wanna use slow internet? Read maps at the side of the road? Walk a long distance to hire movies? And we can go on and on and on. I think what people really miss about the 80’s is that people were way more social back then. But doesn’t that have to do with the type of friends/family you have. Me and my friends still have movie nights, game nights and all the things that make life awesome. We are all in our late 30’s. We have a no phones policy, only for emergencies. But, I think it’s supercool that I can get my phone now, go to youtube and reminisce about how cool life was back then. That wasn’t even possible in the 80’s. I can watch Michael Jackson, Madonna and all of my favourite artists and even movies from back then and basically live in the 80’s for a moment whenever I want! Yes the 80’s were awesome because people made it awesome. Here in Europe the European football cup is on tv and whole streets/neighbourhoods are watching football together. Life is what we make of it people!

    Cincinnati, like a lot of American cities long ago, had many breweries. I remember Hudepohl, Schoenling (and their 7 oz crème ale called Little Kings) and Burger beer. My Dad also drank Carling Black Label. Too bad all of those essentially went away. I have seen Little Kings in recent years but the taste is not the same. Progress.

    My dad and I completely rebuilt a cosworth Vega. We repaired all rusted areas, reinforced a couple weak spots, did a rust inhibition coating and drive it for a number of years until we ended up selling it to a collector that liked our still new looking Vega 7 years after the class my dad gave me in rebuilding cars.

    The biggest loss on the list is Drive In's. They need to bring it back. We just tune the radio to the right station or if they no have a radio the window speaker would be fine. If they used blue tooth people would take the speakers.

    Seems like everything happened in the 70s as our tastes changed and acquisitions occurred. I drank beer in the 70s and don't remember my taste changing. When my then favorite disappeared from store shelves I just bought something else, and on and on and on. I never drank anything Budweiser and still don't.

    I would have to say the Silent and the Greatest generation along with Gen x were definitely tougher. Most boomers spent more time complaining than actually working. They never would have survived the Great Depression or taking care of themselves all day. We raised ourselves and our siblings. I find them the weakest generation
