. . . but seem to be still around. Kornnuts. God, I hated those. I worked in a one-room graphic design office and the only other person there in the windowless room would break out the Kornnuts for lunch. To say I almost vomited would be like saying the Lincoln Tunnel is a small feeder artery in New York.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Just one word: "Gross". Remember here, people, the memory of these foods is innate, the smell lives on, and so does the taste.
Froot Loops. What was I thinking? What? What? What is anyone who considers this better than dog food with sugar thinking?
Oscar Mayer hot dogs. Ohhh, the humanity.
American cheese. Can you sincerely believe that abomination still exists?
Marshmallows. That artificial, "stuck-to-the-roof-of-the-mouth" taste unfortunately acquired a billion axons and dendrites in my holographic memory, where it remains to this day. I'd like to line them all up against a wall.
Fig Newtons: YOU_WILL_BE_SHOT, SCHNELL, SCHNELL!
Spaghetti-Os. Who comes up with this stuff?
Two words: taco casserole!
Two more: meatloaf!
Alphabits. Ai-yai-yai.
Brownies.
Frosted Flakes.
Oreos.
Oreos.
Did I say Oreos?
Ack.
How about Kraft macaroni and cheese?
ReplyDeletethere's a charming poem that i'm reminded of every time someone talks about their dislike of fig newtowns:
ReplyDeleteI Ate Fig Newtons Until I Puked
S.A. Griffin
back when i was a kid
sitting in the pantry
I downed 3 or 4 pounds of the
gooey things
never ate them again
in fact
I can't stand the thought of them
did the same thing with meatloaf and pizza
when we are together
she and I
we just can't seem to get enough
I get down there
into her little cookie jar
and blow the dust off
eating her has the feel of a
good book
a classic
with the musty smell of gold lead
I work the corners and study it well
commit the best to memory
.........and it gets a little bit graphic at this point, so i won't dirty up your blog. just thought i'd let you know that you're not alone.
Kimberly, you can dirty up my blog! I do it all the time! That's a VERY interesting poem.
ReplyDeleteQaro, the only saving grace of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is that you can use the dayglo cheez powder to make Noodles Romanoff (search on my blog -- I made a recipe).
Christ, I'm sure I'm going to come up with more. I'm so glad my 7-year old son doesn't have to eat what I had to eat.
Onyums, anyone?
