What food do you miss from your childhood?

Back in my dim and distant past, a snack food company called Smith's Crisps (which was bought out by Walkers, which is part of the Frito-Lay family) produced a snack called Cheetos, which was a crunchy stick corn snack that was really cheesy flavoured, and had a character called Chester Cheetah on the packet.
I know they still sell these in the US but I really miss them, along with Mountain Dew!
So, what snacks do you miss and wish they would bring back?

Was 'pez' candy sweets those little square blocks that you put into a plastic tube which had a characters head on the top. You flipped the head and out popped a sweet on it's tongue. If it is the right sweet then yeah I miss them too. If it is not can anyone remember the name for those sweets, they were great.

We do still have Cheetos here, but I'm not all that fond of them. A food from my childhood that I miss is Campbell's chili beef soup...

I have always liked cheese and cheesy snacks, and Cheetos were one of the best of my childhood.
I have eaten the Chill Beef soup, and it is yummy!

I can't think of a snack food that I miss, but there are two food items from childhood that I really do miss.
One of them is Yakult. My family is japanese and whenever I went to visit them in Hiroshima, I used to have these tiny, kid-sized sweet drinks called Yakult. I can't think of a US equivalent of it, there's just nothign like it.
I also miss Kraft Macaroni and cheese. I know, it's not something that's disappeared, but there was this really specific way of making it that I miss. When I went over to a friends house as a kid, her mom would always make us mac and cheese and it was just sooo good and different from the normal way of making it. I don't know how she made it, but I miss it.

Yes, I can imagine it can make you crave them even more when you are not to have them.
