Escargot. I used to buy it at Cost Plus or at Safeway and Lucky,
but they no longer carry it and Cost Plus is gone. So may people
have said eww, before trying it, after they tried it they loved it.
Loved this when it first came out. It was basically Diet Pepsi with lemon. Now I can only make something similar by adding some Country Time to my Coke.

Lay’s corn chips labeled “lightly salted” like their potato chips
Fizzies. Drop one of your favorite flavor into a glass of water and Wa-La instant soda!
They were pretty bad – so as kids we would put one our tongue and see how long we could leave it on, while it started to fizz and foaming like crazy.

Jalapeno chicken enchiladas at El Charro in Lafayette and of course the cheese dip to go with the chips.

I’m unsure if you’re looking for the drink or the mix. The drink is supposed to be available at Dairy Queen. There are several different brands selling similar mixes.

The Bell Beefer from Taco Bell. Used to walk up to the window and get them at the old Taco Bell on Monument Boulevard.

It was last sold under its original name, the Bell Burger back in 2012, so, keep an eye out for it, it may occasionally come back as a promotion.
We had it for a delicious lunch in Lucerne Switzerland 4 years ago.

I can think of a lot of my favorite sweet treats I enjoyed as a child but that was probably the result of a more acute taster. So, I got stuck on sour dough bread. The flavor changed 30 or more years ago.

Candy and gum cigarettes are still made.

Lifesavers “creamsicle” flavor candies – came in a wrapped tube, they were a combo of orange and cream flavors, and also raspberry (?) and cream. Lasted forever. Tasted like orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream. The candy disappeared somewhere in the 90’s – but, I really loved them. Also, Oreos made really tasty white chocolate or white fudge covered Oreos in the 90’s – we got ’em every Christmas, as soon as they came out.

Thanks, I’ve never been to The Veranda, I’ll check it out.

Go early or parking will be a problem.
That’s why I’ve never been there, but I wouldn’t have a problem with
parking across the street at the DMV and walking.
And don’t bring car you are fond of.
It was my one & only favorite cereal growing up, …TEAM Flake.
