and washed it down with a YooHoo. My mouth went all like, "dude, is it 1988 again?"

You guys ever get massively nostalgic from certain kinds of foods?

Anytime I am on a road trip I buy myself a Yoohoo when I stop for gas at least one time. I've almost always had one on family trips since I was a kid.

Every time I have a Judice Inn cheeseburger I think of my grandpa taking me there when I was 4 and scolding me for ordering a cheese sandwich and not a burger.

Ooo those oatmeal cookie cream sandwiches. Mom used to buy us those for after school snacks.

AND those cheap cookies with the picture of the happy chef on them--they were kind of shaped like flowers and had holes in the middle? Those and cheez balls remind me of my great grandma. She always kept those for us.

There's this stuff my grandma and mom makes for Thanksgiving every year. We call it the "pink stuff." It's some sort of cranberry/cool whip/marshmellow concoction. I don't really like it anymore, but I eat it anyway to make them happy. I do get a bit nostalgic seeing it on the table.

Blueberry muffins and pancakes made from scratch also makes me think of my mom, but I'm not really nostalgic about those.

I feel like I should have more things, but I can't think of anymore.

The dish that probably brings back most of my memories of high school years is wheat pasta with sauteed vegetables stirred in with olive oil. We ate that 3-5 times a night. I was so sick of it. I hope I never eat it again.

I just about posted my least favorite dish from childhood. Mine was goulash, or at least that's what my mom called it. It was essentially, ground beef with tons of garlic powder, canned diced tomatoes, and elbow macaroni. Blech. I never want to see that again. We had that a few times a week as well.

BBQ Lays. Not that KC Masterpiece crap, but the original that I heard was invented by Justin Wilson. When I eat it, it reminds me of my summer days hanging out at the Knights of Columbus Pool. I'd get dropped of there for about 4-7 hours of swimming and watching the really hot life guard. I was left with enough money for a fountain coke and a bag of chips. I swear every time I have them now that they have come back... I look down to see if my hands have pruned up from being in the water too long.

Used to eat nerds all the time in the early 90s. Had some just recently for the first time in more than a decade. It sure was nostalgic. In fact, it was more than nostalgic, it was fucking RAD.

For me it would be a hot dog on wheat bread and a glass of Strawberry Quick. That was a common meal for me when I was a kid.

I really get nostalgic for country fried steak and brown beans.

Grandma made the best in the world...I would scarf it down till I got sick.

Wasabi Poptart

Strawberry shortcake made with Bisquick. My grandmom used to make them in the late spring/early summer. I'm allergic to strawberries, but I would always eat it one time during the year when she made it and take some Benadryl afterward.

Mike and Ikes and Hershey's Cookies and Cream.

A friend of mine worked at the local paper subbing station. Free coupons for those went to us. I can't eat another Hershey's Cookies and Cream after a box of 48 were consumed in a week.

Oh yeah, those weird drinks in the clear plastic "kegs", those were always in the produce aisle in our grocery store for some reason.

I equate those with the little wax bottles full of similar liquid.

My childhood thing was either Pop-tarts, or a Watchamacalit with a Dr. Pepper.
