Wmtire - thanks for the Moonpie information. Always interesting to know the background of things like that.

One custom I became aware of after moving to Texas was the practice of putting a package of salted peanuts into a bottle of Coke before drinking.

I always enjoyed that, but now since it is difficult to find Coke in bottles it seems to be disappearing.

Maybe that's where I got it from. I lived in Tx for about a year as an adolescent. Not to far from where they made Dr Pepper. I still put peanuts in coke.

Please do not mention Dr Pepper again if at all possible

At least some of those will resume operations simultaneously with Georgia. Emporia, which is already hiring, according to listings on online job sites, will likely be among the reopened locations, he said. Corporate operations will be run out of Kansas City and Dallas."

I do live in Schiller Park. My street dead ends into the Hostess plant here. Like I said earlier the "bakery" facility has been a ghost town except for a overnight security guard since they shut down last year. About a week ago there have been all kinds of trucks and cars in the parking lot. It would be a great thing if the plant reopened. Our town really felt it with all the lost jobs. The only downside is all the traffic and people speeding down my street because they are late to work at Hostess.

This was my standard "lunch" while I was stationed in Utah. Yummy.
I forgot all about that! I wonder if it will work in cans?

Schiller Park - isn't that close to OHara? The Chicago FAA office is or was located in SP when I would go there.

I guess it would and you can always put the peanuts in a glass of Coke. I can't drink Coke anymore, so I haven't done it.

If ya want the full effect: There are several grocery stores in my local area that actually sell real sugar Cokes in glass bottles (no high fructose corn syrup). Super 1 is one chain that does, as I have bought them there.

These Cokes are in the Mexican/Spanish food section, and are bottled in Mexico.

There is nothing better than the 'REAL DEAL' Coke, in a chilled bottle.

I buy these for family occasions held at my house. I have a brother-in-law who goes bananas for the real cokes.

The real sugar cokes are sold here also and my mouth waters each time I see them in the aisle.

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they have gained 5 pounds from reading this forum thread today?

You don't want to even get me started on Doritos bringing back my all time favorite Taco flavored ones (even in a retro bag). I will eat a whole bag of them at a time if I don't watch myself. They're not exactly the same, but are better than nothing.

I am jones-in for twinkies and I am not happy about it..................

[grayfox]

Siting here thinkin back when I was a young kid. My Dad loved to listen to the "fights on Friday nights, 10 PM on the radio. Dear old DAD would take me into the kitchen, close the doors, turn on the radio and get out the Limburger Cheese and crackers and I'd have to suffer through that every Friday night. No way could I eat that stuff, makes me about half sick every time I get a whiff of that stuff.
