That brings back memories.. I haven't seen a BB Bat since I was a kid. It got me searching for some of my other long lost faves like Bonomo turkish taffy and it looks like they've brought it back but probably won't be available in Canada, darn.. Same with Bosco which according to their website
www.boscoworld.com isn't even available in Michigan where I could easily get a bottle LOL

Fox's U-Bet Syrup is a hard-to-find product?

 

[maytagbear]

Fox's U-Bet

is hard to find outside the NY-NJ-CT tristate area.

Nothing makes a better egg cream!

The only store that carried it around here, Tops, is now out of business in Ohio.

Ah, if they'd only bring back Swanson's tuna pot pies...

Nothing was more of a treat when I was a kid.

 

[petek]

But you can still get Bosco at Ohio Krogers!! Odd too is that Bosco is sold in France and Spain according to the Bosco map LOL

Pete--

Kroger is a downstate Ohio phenomneon. Nearest one to me is about a 3 hour ddrive, one-way.

FIZZIES are back again, but try getting a local grocer to stock 'em. Not even Trader Joe's answered my email about FIZZIES fitting right into their eclectic selection.

(Say "eclectic selection" out loud. Feels good, doesn't it? )

 

[petek]

I never like Fizzies much when I was a kid, they had an odd taste to them. The fizzing part and watching them dissolve was the only good part.

Peter, thanks for the cool site. I enjoy seeing the hard-to-find candies or grocery items, such as Fresh Start detergent...

Fizzies came back sometime in mid-06 I believe, as there was a thread or post about it. I remember trying Fizzies when they came back for a short time around mid-96 or so, then they disappeared again.

Thanks for sharing the link to a great site. I've recently become a convert to ordering things online and am willing to bet I'll have a heyday there once I have time to explore a bit. And I do plan to get a box of Quisp! I loved Quisp when I was a kid, about 150 years ago.

Great site... I found my colord mini marshmellows

 

[oxydolfan1]

Was Quisp the one with the propeller on his head?

(If so, I liked it too....)

 

[frigilux]

That be the one, Oxydolfan. I'm starting to think everyone who ate Quisp became enamored with punk rock later in the '70s.

 

[maytagbear]

We wonder--

was Quisp's first name Quentin, by any chance?

[toggleswitch]

Is QQ still alive?

 

[danemodsandy]

Quentin Crisp

Nope, the Naked Civil Servant died in '99.

 

[bajaespuma]

For those who love Bonomo Turkish Taffy, Google it and you will find their new site. Apparently somebody in Brooklyn is bringing it back!!

 

[danemodsandy]

Bonomo

I'll always remember their early-1960s commercial theme, with girl singers piping:

"BEE-OH, ENN-OH, EMM-OH
OH, OH, OH, IT'S BONOMO. CAN-DEE!"
