This is for the old Tiki farts out there...

I have been a bit nostalgic for certain foods & drinks that I grew up with of late
things that if I don't make myself, You don't find much or at all any more.

Like "Custard Pie" it was popular in the 50s & 60s, you could find it at any diner
I have not made one in a while, The last time I had a slice was at the now out of business
Marie Callender's restaurants, even though I got the occasional remark from the servers
"only our elderly customers like Custard Pie"

"I had images of "Slam Dancing" on those 20 something servers", kids back in the day would never say anything
like that to someone.......older.

"Ice Cream Phosphates" I loved these as a kid, my favorite was a "Vanilla Phosphate" with Chocolate Ice Cream
a drink made with flavored syrup, Seltzer water, Ice cream and a few drops of phosphoric acid (It gave it this amazing flavored foam)

(I know these Girls are Evil!)

This was when Soda Fountains were always in a "Drug Store"
last time I had a Phosphate was the early 70s these are now extinct, Swensen’s Ice Cream shop's....anyone?

"Flavored Cokes" used to be everywhere, when you ordered a Coke, You got asked, Cherry,Lemon,Chocolate,Vanilla or Plain
Thank God you can still get Vanilla Coke!

What do the rest of you miss?
