Oh fuck no! Anything peach flavored (especially artificially flavored) is pig piss IMO. While I was in Korea I got drunk on a local beverage, Peach Oscar. It is an artificially peach flavored carbonated wine. Sweet, sticky and made me so god damned sick for three days I haven't been able to stomach anything close to that flavor for the last 44 years.

I was in South Korea, too. We used to mix either peach juice or apricot juice with a local drink called Soju. Artificial peach flavored “anything” ought to be against the law. What made me sick were the White Russian’s with goat’s milk and Mud slides with chocolate soy milk. Kant

I miss a lot of the old TV theme songs: songs that were actually written by composers for specific television shows and lasted more than 10 seconds.

I don't miss Carnation Instant Breakfast bars, but I miss the egg nog flavored Carnation Instant Breakfast powder that you mixed with milk.

I miss Zena jeans and guys with feathered hair. Tinsel on the Christmas tree that actually had weight to it. The sound of my modem followed by AOL telling me "You've got mail!".

Yes

I miss the feeling of making new friends, I miss my Dad.
I miss my childhood. Asking my Mom if I could have ‘Pablom’ too Because my little brother was getting it.
I miss the concussion when I was banging on my drums. I miss her.

We had our med unit do an analysis on a bottle of Jinro (a brand of Soju). It came back with not only alcohol, but a significant amount of formaldehyde and traces of urine. Needless to say I didn't drink any more of that. I did however drink my fair share of makkoli. Of course that was way back there in 1974. I'm sure things have changed.

Stuff from the past that you miss!

Bazooka grape bubblegum

Driving 15 miles from one town to another at midnight and never seeing another car

The salmon runs that were so thick it looked like you could walk from bank to bank on their backs

Spending a day alone on the river fishing and never seeing another soul

Hearing the river voices during those times

The local cafes at 4:00 AM filled with loggers grabbing a bite before heading to work

The smell of fresh split cedar and the incessant buzz of bandsaws cutting that cedar into shakes

Walking the logs boomed up in the harbor so we could fish for black rock fish

Trading those rock fish to the crews of the Japanese log ships for bottles of Sake

I miss the smell of game day. The locker room, pads and the fresh grass.
I miss the smell of a hit, clean, precise, violent.
I miss the taste of pennies when it wasnt so clean.

It's been 20 years since the last one, for some reason I've really missed it recently. However, I can still feel all that every time I get out of bed in the morning.

 

[TontoedRanger]

Nehi grape and orange. RC colas in the bottle. Original Dr. Pepper. Babe Ruth Bars.

slinkys. and shake-a-pudding. and sourballs.

Fresh dew on the ball field grass before practice. Sliding into a stolen base. My 1st in field home run.

I remember that grease-floating shit on a shingle.


I refused to eat it. I refused to eat any pizza for years upon years because of that stuff. It wasn't until I was stationed in New Jersey that I was willing to try pizza again, and I was pretty damned drunk when I took that leap of faith.




Crackerjack had a cool car toy or two back in the day...

I'm with you. I worked in the school cafeteria one year. Our pizza was done on the same squishy dough that the rolls were made from. Topped with canned tomatoes, drained and what I think was government cheese. No seasonings. Ick, ick, ick!

As a child, I would not eat any pizza of any kind, ever. Just did not like.

Ate a little as a teen because my friends always wanted it but still did not like it. And to this I still do not like it overall. One exception would be Mexican pizza which isn't really pizza or Mexican.

I do make my own pizza from time to time. Does not matter what recipe or toppings, it is still not a favorite food. Not even close to it.

 

[Jada59]

Walking through an airport right up to the gate. No security, no ID, no taking off shoes and packing whatever you wanted. And people used to dress up.

I loved Carnation Breakfast bars!

Oh yeah. I remember those days. Good times!

I actually miss TV that wasn't trying to be edgy. No swearing, only implied sex and nudity, comedy that didn't rely on pissing someone off. There's something to be said for The Brady Bunch and Gilligans Island and most certainly I Love Lucy and Carol Burnett.
The older I get the more I'm like "why do they have this trash on TV!?!"
But then I think Happy! is fucking hilarious so whatever.

I think last time I watched TV was in July. My friend was on the news. I saw that segment only. Then later, she put the clip on FB. Could have spared myself watching it on TV. Loved Carol. That show was sooo funny! Nothing like it today!

Something like that happened to me with grape. Used to be my favorite flavor. Not any more!

Prices, where the average working Joe or Jane could afford to buy a house and raise a family and still go on a simple family vacation every year.

Safe neighborhoods, where kids could play outside until dark and walk to and from school on their own.

Neighbors that supported neighbors and everyone knew the other people on the block.

Politeness and consideration for others.
