They still have a cookie sandwich, Toll House I think it is, but those were better.

I think he's referring to the Mars Almond Bar.  Which is essentially a Milky Way with almonds on top of it, like an Almond Joy versus a Mounds.

I believe you are correct that what is known abroad as the Mars bar is a Milky Way here.

correct - and doing a little digging, it looks like the mars almond bar is now the snickers with almonds, which makes sense because those are amazing

I don't know if it's because I was poor, and this type of food seemed high class to me or what, but I really think 80's tv dinners tasted better than anything that's available today.

I ate about 10,000 of these in college.

Man.....these.  They were like 99 cents or $1.29 back in the day.  I'd buy two.  Mix all the enchiladas together, mix all the beans and rice together, and then eat them all like a dip with tortilla chips.  It was a $2-$3 FEAST.

Mexican-coonass digestive system.  It historically could handle things that would make most men cry and beg for mercy.

Fuck those things they would go on sale and my dad would buy 30 of them and I’d have to eat them like 3-4 times a weak.  Never again.

This is what we ate in our house. There’s even a Facebook group dedicated to bringing them back. The rice it came with was like crack. I did the same thing with the mixing and tortilla chips and I’d add Pace Hot all over the top.

Does anybody else get smell flashbacks when pictures of these frozen Mexican dinners are posted?

Interesting. It disappeared from the store shelves at some point. I'll have to go look. But that's good to know. Losing Emperor's Choice is the real disaster. That was the best tea I ever had. I've tried a few other ginseng teas and nothing comes close.

I had forgotten the rest of the words to the song, but now have an ear worm, so thanks for that.

Misery loves company my man!  And considering how long that implant has stayed in my brain, I bet it has in yours as well, huh?
