same, I tried some the other day and they were terrible. Don't know if they changed the recipe and product.

Ding dongs that came foil wrapped. The modern versions are not the same.

Friend,
One of the rare times Mother let me eat junk food was on Saturday mornings in the Autumn. It was on those golden mornings she would send out Uncle to get us glazed donuts. Uncle was quite particular about where he got his donuts and he said there were no acceptable Uptown donuts so he drove to Mid-City and bought them from — and memory is not perfect — a place called Picou’s? He is not here for me to ask. Other times he made the trek to Kenner to the best donut shop in America, the Loyola Tastee Donuts, which has recently become a non-Tastee with a new owner. I have not tried the newly named one, but I am told nothing has changed.
When Uncle was out of town, Mother allowed me to run down to the Langenstein’s on Arabella. There I shopped the freezer section for a white cardboard box with the name Rich’s on top. Inside that box were beautiful glazed donuts in plastic wrap, grouped in twos. Heated in the microwave for ten seconds, they were excellent. Chewy and topped with plenty of sugary glaze, I would eat the entire box.
Yours,
TulaneLSU

You just gave me flashbacks of going to the McKenzies by vets and David drive with my dad.

Two items always come to mind.
Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls. After school snack perfection.
Totino’s frozen pizza. Doctored one up with extra toppings and had it for Friday night dinner many times before going to town to drink beer and chase girls.
Kroger shows those pizzas go for $2 today. Were they a nickel when my mother was buying them?

Did you peel the skin off the Swiss cake rolls?

The best Tastee donuts in the late 80s & 90s was at Broad & Esplanade

Sometimes. Other times I carefully unrolled the cake and feasted on the crème filling before moving to the cake and icing. There are a few ways for devotees to serve their Swiss Cake Roll fetish.

Klotzbach's Bakery sold a pastry called a "Sinker" that was made like a cupcake but the dough was very dense and it was covered in a hard icing that came in 3 flavors if memory serves me correctly. I would always get the chocolate one, but I recall them having a white icing one and a pink icing covered one. At the time, they cost a dime and could fill me up like I ate a meal.
Where a cupcake would be baked in a paper shell, these were baked in a pie type pastry on the outside.
They had 2 locations, both on St. Claude Ave. with one being on the river side of St. Claude around the 6500 block by Delery St. and the other being on the other side of the Industrial Canal Bridge near Nichol's High School.

When I was a kid somebody made a "pizza" that was heated in the toaster. Not a toaster oven, a TOASTER. Like a poptart, except not a pocket. How the topping didn't fall off, I don't know.
I also ate a lot of Tuna Pot Pies. Like a chicken pot pie, but with tuna and seasoned with a bit of pimento and dill. Loved them. (There's a spot on copycat recipe in the Recipe Collection.)
Drank a lot of Bosco chocolate milk, too.

Seventeen year old me could crush half a pack of these (one sleeve) with a quart of whole milk in one sitting.
