My Favorite Things - Part 1

My favorite foods that are no longer in production:

  1. Marathon candy bars - a long, chewy, chocolate-covered caramel braid that you could chew on for hours.  My brother and I would get these at the movies.
  2. Stuffers chips/snacks - a small chip-sized snack sold in bags, they were like half of a crisp tube made out of corn with a flavored filling in the little valley.  So good.  I'm sure they were designed to mimic the shape of the clogged arteries they were creating.
  3. Last, and definitely not least - Sara Lee Ham and Cheese Croissants.  OMG these things were the best.  Not microwaveable, which probably led to or contributed to their demise, there were two good-sized stuffed croissants that were frozen in a shaped foil tray.  They baked in the oven for 40 minutes and came out hot, flaky, and always just right.  The croissant tasted like it just came from the bakery, and the swiss cheese and ham were tender and just the right flavor.  I like a variety of food, but this is probably the one meal I could have eaten every day and never grown tired of.  They died out not too long after (the horrible) Hot Pockets came on the market.  Convenience won out over taste in the end I guess, more's the pity.
