We miss Keebler Magic Middles cookies, Gorton’s chopped clams, Teaberry Gum, Jell-O Pudding Pops. All foods we once loved and can no longer find. (Except for Pudding Pops which are now made b…

Gatorgum was salty, sour & oddly delicious to me. When I was a kid my dad was really into jogging and fitness. Today he's in his early 60s and still walks the park every morning. After going for a run, Dad would sometimes chug the original orange flavored Gatorade thirst quenching sports drink. I, of course, had to try Gatorade and I remember thinking it wasn't bad. It reminded me of Tang. Soon I began seeing packages of Gatorgum around our house. I recognized the logo from the Gatorade sports drink Dad liked. Gatorade introduced Gatorgum around 1976 and this was probably 1979. Sure Gatorgum didn't taste as delicious as Bubble Burger or as sweet as Hubba Bubba -- but I still enjoyed it. In fact, I remember the taste like it was yesterday. Gatorade gum or Gatorgum was neon yellow in color and had a citrus, salty and sour flavor and I sure would love a piece right now! Unfortunately, I'm shit out of luck. By early 2000, Gatorade discontinued making Gatorgum. View an old Gatorgum commercial from the 1980s - the gum from Gatorade!

I remember Bonkers! though I've never been one to go out of my way for fruit chews. I'll enjoy a Starburst from time to time. Apparently these were quite good. They were around for a few years at least - not sure when they went away. Apparently some other company attempted to bring the Bonkers name back with a fruit chew, but it didn't compare to these classics.

Bill Cosby made them famous with his celebrity endorsement of Jell-O Pudding Pops. I ate gobs and gobs of these. Man, I miss them.

2 things I wish someone had told me before I started making sourdough… 1- It’s not HARD! I read so many blogs and watched YouTube videos and truthfully, I was scared. No one made it sound doable. I...

S'Mores boxes are typically fun, with fun mascots - this one's got the marshmallow guy. I believe S'Mores Grahams were released in the early 80's, and a relaunch was attempted in the late 80's, but didn't last long. This box is from that relaunch period. What's odd about this box was trying to put a clear vintage on it. While it no longers has the General Mills triangle, the photo on the reverse shows the box with it. The copyright on the box is 1984, which can't be right, either, due to the triangle-less box. Finally, I worked out, based on the Better Crocker value coupon-thing on top, which expires a month before a 1989 Kaboom box I have, that this must also be from 1989.

Within this assortment of 1970's Tootsie Pop wrappers is this lemon example. It's notable for two reasons, first - I didn't realize that they made a lemon flavor back then, and second - there are no "kid graphics" on this wrapper. I wonder why? This comes from the "Munktiki Collection", a large lot of consumer goods packaging saved and stored by Californian Paul Nielsen during the 1970's. A collection I recently acquired and will be documenting here. For more on Paul's current activities, check out www.munktiki.com.

There are many things we miss about being a kid. But we get most choked up by the loss of some of our favorite candies. Do you remember these?

This is what I shared on Studio 5 today. Aren't they SO CUTE! I have to say, it was so fun to be there today! I love going on Studio 5 for lots of reasons, but I really love meeting the super talented guests they have on their show. I met a couple darling bloggers, and a super talented organizer. I will post more about that later. For now, here is what I shared. These little cuties are as fun to make as they are sweet. Weather you make them for a family game night, or a party activity/favor, or even a rainy day craft, these gumdrop people are guaranteed to please! GUMDROP PEOPLE What you will need: Gumdrops, large and small (Any grocery store.) Wooden Ball Knobs 3/4" with a 3/16" hole (Hobby Lobby, $1.47 for 6) Wooden round 3/8" balls (Hobby Lobby, $1.47 for 27) Wooden 1/4" dowel caps (Hobby Lobby, $1.47 for 20) Tooth picks - I prefer round. Craft Glue - any kind you want. I like E600. Scissors Wooden dowels (optional) Craft paint and paint brushes. Glue the balls or dowel caps on the knobs to make the hair. Let them dry on dowels. Do you remember my kokeshi doll tutorial? These are the same idea. You can see I glued the balls in different places for the different hair styles on the girls. Paint the hair in whatever style you choose. I painted the eyes using a toothpick, and dabbing paint on. I didn't do anything fancy for the pink haired girl, and I like the simplicity of the bob. These heads will balance on top of a toothpick. You can see here how it looks without the head. That way, if you and your kids make them for family night, and want to do it again in the future, you can reuse the head and make a new body. You can even swap heads for different outfits. The possibilities are endless! Now for the fun part! You can make the clothes however you want. A basic outfit is a large gumdrop for the body, and a small one cut in half long way for the shoes. You will need 2 1/2 toothpicks for every doll - 1/2 toothpick for each arm, each leg, and the neck. I cut the toothpick with the scissors. I like the blunt end to be visible, and the pointy end slides into the gumdrop more easily. You can get really creative with this. You won't need anything other than the gumdrops. When they are cut, the insides are sticky enough to cling to whatever they are stuck to. The bottom of this yellow dress is just the tops of purple gumdrops that have been cut off and stuck on. The purple collar is the bottom of a purple gumdrop. The red sleeves are made from a gumdrop cut in half. The red buckles on the shoes are made from the top of a red gumdrop cut in half. We can't forget the boys. All the instructions are the same, except that you may want your leg toothpicks to only have about 1/4 cut off (so, you will need an extra toothpick). If you plan to top a cake with the people, you will need two extra toothpicks, to stick up into the shoes, and down into the cake to insure they won't fall over. Now for the game... If you want to make this gumdrop art into a family game night, or even a friend game night, you are in luck! I created this family and friend game board just for you! You will need to print the game board at Costco, or somewhere that will print an 11x14, because it needs to be large enough to accommodate the size of the gumdrop folks. You can download the file HERE. Just click the green download button. You can print the playing cards on your computer. You can download the file HERE. Just click the green download button. You can download HERE. Just click the green download button. You can make more of your own questions here. Again... the download is HERE. Don't forget to click the green button. YOU WILL NEED: Dice Game Board Playing Cards People RULES: Cut the cards out, and stack in a pile face down. The first player rolls a single dice, and moves as many spaces as the roll indicates. Follow the directions on the spot in which you land. The first one to the finish line wins! This game is short and sweet, but will bring warm feelings to everyone who plays, with funny get to know you questions, and compliment encouraging spots on the game board. Have a Happy and Creative Day! Risa linking: sun scholars, tt&j
