lol @ now and laters.

i remember seeing a sign at mcdonald's for a mclean sandwich.

i thought, pronouncing it the proper irish way, "what the hell is a "mac-lane" sandwich".

it wasn't until i heard the ad on a radio the it was supposed to be leaner, hence "mac-leen".

I don't remember if it was a movie or real life, but an Asian fella ordering a McDLT said: "one M C D L T" no "Mic" but M. C. lol

'kay before this slips me by i'm gonna post- there were these cookies, they were like several layers of crispy plain wafers, & there was a layer of creme between these wafers. the cookie was a stick-type deal, & they were dipped in chocolate.
keebler maybe? these weren't esential 80's, i loved them though.
ecto hi-c that slimer made delicious.
polarbear neopolitan ice cream. regent pop. pudding pops (now in stock, they're different, though), strawberry twinkies, that oatmeal that you'd squeeze a packet of fruity gel onto. plastic cups of these bland dipping-stix in 1 half, a fudge dip on the other. creamy cucumber dressings. carnation breakfast ads. sizzlean (kinda) bacon-like food. that was so awesome.

Were they just called wafer bars or something? They sell them with the corny, no-name cookies at the supermarket. Speaking of cookies, I like those thin, round wafer cookies with the frosting stripes. those things are gooood.

My Mom used to get that Carnation stuff. lol I think they used to have green twinkies for St.Pats day.

How about those big ol Hi-C and Hawaiian Punch cans? I used to remove the tops and bottoms, tape them together and try to make a tin man costume. lol

We used to go to the mall to stock up on Aqua Net for our mullets, hit Orange Julius which was just outside of Merry Go Round. If we had any dough left we'd hit the arcade on the way out and play Pole Position with the Ramones "up to eleven" on the Walkman.

lmao

ohhhhhhhhhhh, mullets. yeah, the 'ol mullet itself. that there mullet. the mullet.
almost, ALMOST more radically bodacious than those fluffy hairsprayed bangs & those scrunchies in neon-print shades!
i'm gonna look for my pogo-ball & my ewok. well, after the goonies is over. then i'm gonna snooze, i'll lay on my pillow person pillow. my glowworm & popples should keep me company.
may play mousetrap before that though. after i watch some mr. belvedere.

on another note, what's this crocs deal? i mean, there's JELLIES that they could tout instead! & jelly bracelets! both glittery & plain!?
i exercise when i'm stressed. where's my chinese jumprope? may skip-it instead.

I made a noose out of those jelly bracelets for your CABBAGE patch kid. Tied it to 99 luftballoons and said "TTFN".

Then hopped in my IROC with my collar up and my Risky Business shades working my CLACKERS to the tune of "You Might Think".

lmfao

he-heeeeeee! luv yins! :)
ohhhh, i love nostalgia candy, too. sixlets. they made me nauseous 'cept i'd get them for a snack so often.
was i the only product-of-the-80's that owned a sears keyboard that connected to a television? if programmed, these mice would sing a song.
garbage pail paraphenilia & tiffany rocked.
if ya sought luv from fellow students, your hair was bigger than you & often was in a babana clip, twin combs, french braids, or punky colored, your spandex/cutoff combo was blinding, bangle bracelets dominated, your drink was new york seltzer, the facts of was a great show, unparalled, though, by 'you-can't-do-that-on-television.
ferris bueler, he rocked. he rocks on now!

..blueberry slurpees, McDLT's, McRibs, candy cigarettes, Roy Rogers......

One thing I remembered, from the late 80's, the 90's, and as recently as 2002, when I moved from OK to MI, you could still get McRibs in Missouri. After 2002, I never really checked when we were in Missouri. We usually ate at different places, if we even stopped.

McNasty's in MI would usually do McRibs once a year, for a month. I haven't seen them here in OK for over a decade.

Honestly, I had my fill in 2003. I just preferred decent BBQ over that cooked/pressed/chopped thing.
