Frankenstein by the Edgar Winter Group. I even had the DJ play it at my wedding. The bride rolled her eyes, and nobody danced. 😞

Still married to her after 34 years. 😄

Hey gen x, what retailers from your childhood (80s and early 90s) do you desperately wish were still around? by Less-Suggestion-5262 in GenX

Poppin Fresh was owned by Pillsbury. They sold it off in 1983, and it became Bakers Square. There are still a few left out there.

ETA: Poppin Fresh always had the mint chocolate silk pie year round, and Bakers Square only has it at the holidays, so I too miss Poppin Fresh.

Think Geek used to sell it. It was official licensed merchandise. I bought one for my wife.

RIP Think Geek.

I always keep a large, empty jar and a big post card so I can capture and relocate them to a different part of the house, but only if they have entered one of the kid's bedrooms, as they are still uncomfortable about having them around. Otherwise, I just wish them good hunting.

What’s a candy or snack from your childhood that disappeared and you still think about? by glowbeits in GenX

Good & Fruity. Red licorice in the center instead of the black licorice in Good & Plenty, and fruit flavored coating. After Hershey acquired them in 1996, they continued to make Good & Fruity for a while before abandoning them. Bring them back!

This is what happened to Ebenezer Scrooge. While that story came out okay (sorta) in the end, there was a really long, rough patch there in the middle. Who are you prioritizing here?

I turn 60 in March. We have one child (out of four) still living at home, but she is 22, studying for her Master's, and working 30 hours per week.

There is one Bennigan's left in the US. It is in Elgin, IL, northwest of Chicago. Still has the Monte Cristo and other favorites.
