    I see most have kept to food and drink, but......

    Not sure if it qualifies as food, but I know several kids that ate some.

    SanPellegrino makes a blood orange drink called "Aranciata Rossa". I like that it isn't overly sweet. I also like their regular orange and grapefruit flavors.

    When I was a kid, my favorite lemon cookies were Lemon Coolers. I hadn't seen them in decades but found a box a while back. They weren't as good as I remember them.

    Like cola is one I bring up a lot. I actually preferred it over Coca Cola, Pepsi, or RC.

    Danish Go Rounds. My grandmother used to buy them when my sister and I visited. SOOOO much better than Pop Tarts. It took me years to figure out what they were called because we just called them all "pop tarts," kinda like "Hand me a kleenex."

    My SIL loved those too. We ordered her a box of these because a lot of people say that they taste the same: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HYEFL0/

    All the Chrysler's had the push button TorqueFlight. Also before that Chrysler had the lever on the dash to the right of the steering wheel.

    Well,there is some good news in candy department. According to on line reports Mars Bars are back as almond Snickers.
    Just thought of a candy sales story. When it was sold in its own department in big clear glass bins ,the manager of a store noticed the customers seemed to wait and mill around for a particular girl to help them. When he asked the girl about that she said that the other girls always put too much candy on the scale and then took off candy to arrive at ordered quantity. But she always put too little on the scale and ADDED candy to get to ordered amount.

    And if you are a bit older you might recall the larger button/pedal over by the gas pedal for the starter.
