Floral scented purple toilet paper. It was the kind of stuff you would expect Liberace to buy.

Jolt Cola.
I realize there's various styles of Jolt Energy or whatever now, but I mean the original Jolt Cola in the black & red can.

Chicken Tonight. I loved the sweet and sour stuff. And there was a grey sauce with carrots and other things in it. I think it was called 'French Sauce'? I don't know but I loved it.

Sizzlean.
My mother, a food hoarder, insisted on /moving/ a package of Sizzlean from the old place to this one. I only managed to convince her to throw it out when she got a new fridge... four years ago.
Twenty-five year old fake bacon. I do kind of miss my little frozen friend.

The only reason I got her to chuck it was because it was forgotten in a cooler on the back porch for a couple of days.
Even in the name of science and Sizzlean, there is only so far a man can go.

t family events in the summertime, we'd play lawn darts. Each target circle would have an empty beer can in teh middle and you got extra points for hitting the cans.
The adults drank beer the entire time they played and guess how many people got killed and/or maimed by lawn darts?
That's right, none. Not once, not ever.
I want my lawn darts back!!!

WIMP! I cleaned out my refrigerator last year and found a package of actual bacon that was 18 months past the due date.
To my roommate's horror, I cooked that pound of bacon and ate it.
