My mother was on an episode of Romper Room when she was little. They asked her where she was from (Tennessee) and she said Texas... LOL!

I always wanted to be on Bozo the Clowns show. I remember as a kid we were on one of our summer vacation camping trips and Bozo came on and it wasn't the same Bozo. That was weird at the time.

I think there is some regional popularity too.
I remember hearing of Bosco, but we are more of a Nestle Quick, and PDQ region I think.

I grew up 20 minuteI s from Hershey, so I'm Hershey's chocolate all the way. You could get a real factory tour until 1973. I know non-Americans don't like it, but wow, the smell. YUM! Never heard of Bosco before today. Most "good" chocolates don't taste good to me. Now I'm curious; might need to head over to Amazon!

I wouldn't special order it myself but if I see it somewhere I'll pick up a bottle for auld langs syne. It may not even taste the same as all those years ago and that could be they altered the ingredients too much or an aging palette but ya never know. I bought a bottle of Hersheys choc syrup maybe two years ago spur of the moment when I had cravings for a home made sundae,, but it wasn't great and I never did finish the bottle, but heck I may have loved it as well when I was 7.

Pete:

You're right - our tastes change as we, uh, "mature," and childhood favorites may not be as wonderful today. I had that experience with Hot Ralston, a hot breakfast cereal I loved as a kid. Now, it tastes to me more like the box it comes in than anything else.

Campbell's tomato soup leaves me cold now, as well, though in that case, I suspect changes to the product are at the bottom of things.
