The Official Shit that needs to make a Comeback Thread

[bobjustbob]

The old Ring Dings. They were much wider with a thicker chocolate coating. The machine that filled them with cream made several indents into the top of the cake. When covered with chocolate they would fill in like mini Hershey kisses. Yum.

I'd like to see a return to actual metal bumpers on cars, even better if they are connected with a car that has is made from an actual frame. That way they could run into something at a slow speed and be virtually undamaged instead of now where people have to pay $7,000 to fix there car they ran into a pole at 7km/hour.


Super sour Candy Also seemed a lot more sour as a kid. Maybe it's just my imagination but I remember things like Warhead candies and those really sour gum balls being impossible to keep in ones mouth because they were so sour. Now they are only somewhat moderately sour...for about 4 seconds and then it's gone.

What is that in real speed? Either way, you have to hit the Pole at much faster speeds if you want to kill him.

Along the same lines, how about hood ornaments? They gave cars character. :thumbsup:

dude i know. there were these sour bubblegums off the ice cream truck. legendary sour shit.

kids would turn red trying to keep em down.

Fucking marbles, yeah good times.

I'm laying down some 80's nostalgia...

Not all would be cool these days, to name but a few...

Hypercolor t-shirts. Retro casuals like sergio tacchini, Fila. Adidas Ivan lendl tennis shirts. The nike rainjackets copying off the breakdance movies.
Reebok pump trainers and the puma ones with a disk instead of laces altogether. I see air jordans made a comeback.
Pannini football stickers.
Top Trumps.
Grifter bikes and raleigh burner BMX. The kids that sanded down and repainted raleigh's and tried to pass them off as Diamondback.
TAB, space dust, sweet shops that sold these...http://www.mycandyshop.co.uk/11-retro-sweets
Old school games consoles, where you actually had to take the effort to go round each others houses, to play games against your mates.
Games like connect 4 etc.
and these...



TV series were mostly all good. The youth of today will never appreciate old school erm special effects...

On a candy-related note... Fun Dip. I'm sure they still make it, but I haven't had it in ages.

Is that those candy sticks that you dip in that powder shit that fizzes in your mouth? Because those were THE SHIT!!! :thumbsup:

I agree with these too! Especially the latter, and I'm dealing with the former currently...
But sour candy is like a soul snack for me, the more sour the better, and the best thing I've found recently was Sour Patch Kids EXTREME, which weren't very extreme, but the most sour candy I've been able to find these days by FAR.

 

[mikexmoran]

im leading off with Pogs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogs

seriously, this shit needs to come back.



and yes, there's a similar thread but new year, new ideas. we are an ever-changing society.

anyway, pogs were the shit. they were fucking cheap. the game was fun, and there were infinite types of these fuckers out there. i loved how even stupid shit like adverts for welch's grape juice and the new deli down the street or in hawaii made great pogs.

did you people have any? still do?

Kids who played with Pogs in my neighborhood got beat up. ...and I came from the burbs.

Courtesy?

Well played.

Responsible government spending.

Yes, but we haven't seen that since Andrew Jackson and he was a lunatic.

Snapple, Troll dolls, Yak Back, TGIF television, Pagers

Awsome list. The ORIGINAL snapple. Not this crap they have now.


Also - The TRS-80 Color Computer!

(I'd add the Mets being in the World Series, but that is too much to ask)

[Rey C.]

Apple IIe
Super Beta tapes
70s Sports cars: Porsche 914, Datsun 240Z, Alfa Romeo Spyder, TR6, Fiat X1/9, etc.

I used to catch some grief for it, but I always liked the Porsche 914, the Fiat X1/9 and the Triumph TR-7 ("the shape of things to come"). Yeah, I know they were junk, but they had a certain bit of uniqueness that I liked at the time. I also liked the Jaguar XJ-S and the Porsche 928 GTS. Oh yeah, and pussy hair. Can't forget pussy hair! I think all these things need to make a comeback! :yesyes: I'll follow the progress of this happening on my Mac Plus (which actually still works!).

As for what I really want to come back: the 1980's! They were like the Roaring 20's for my generation.

Well the way things are going for the Coyotes you may have your wish for the return of the Nordiques very soon.

 

[bobjustbob]

At one time Snapple had a line of flavored seltzers. Working outside in the heat I'd drink this stuff because it was refreshing and not sugary sweet.

You honestly prefer the CCM's to the RBK Edge sweaters? The RBK helmets look fucking retarded, but the jerseys are great.

It's hard for me to get into the shit anymore with all the companies and shit. KOHO, Reebok, Bauer, CCM, Starter - it's hard to distinguish today's authentic from replica, semi-pro or fake authentic Chinese versions you can get on the 'Bay. Plus I'm old school. And I have quite a few CCM Center Ice authentics in my collection.
