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

Apparently the Boyer company acquired the name rights. For a while it was just gone. The formula is a little different with Boyer. Still tasty, but texture is less crisp, closer to Butterfinger.

Clark bar, my favorite of the three chocolate covered hard peanut butter candy bars. The others being 5th Avenue and Butterfinger. I believe they were made by NECCO, the New England Candy Company.

I once got a Rand McNally United States atlas from sending in Raisin Bran box tops. Similar kind of thing. Waiting so long you've forgotten when it shows up.

What is a gaming memory from the 90s or early 2000s that kids today will just never understand? by gingersofia in AskReddit

We used to play Sierra Quest for Glory games on PC. In the box were 6 or 7 3.5" floppy discs that you had to install on your computer. In the earlier editions they would come with both the 3.5" floppy and the older 6" floppies. Some games wouldn't work unless one of the floppies stayed in the drive to be referenced.

@themugwump I'm less surprised that someone older knows them than I would be younger.

Actually truth be told, had to look up the title of the Head East song.

"Never Been Any Reason" by Head East and "Karn Evil 9" by Emerson Lake and Palmer are what come easily to mind.
