Nostalgia Menu

I was listening to Andy Frisella remember the 7/11 Big Grab Dorito bags. (Apparently, the 7/11 social media is fire, and it’s a bunch of cars). The store carries Frisella’s 1st Phorm Energy. While they carry new products, they are a treasure chest for nostalgic snacks.

Taco Bell’s Y2K Decades Menu has returned. It also has nostalgic merch. It’s brilliant.

Nostalgia is something everyone loves.

The food maybe was killing us, but it’s not about the foods— it’s about the memories attached to it. The stories.

I remember rolling through that drive thru for a bean burrito. Bless.

I saw the commercial, and the memories came flooding back. If they bring back the chihuahua— that’ll be a whole different story.

A nostalgia menu for me would probably include mac and cheese from a Velveeta box, SPAM with rice, Jell-o fruit cups, Vienna Sausages, McDonalds cheeseburger, a bean burrito, a pan crust pizza from Pizza Hut, and Ritz crackers dipped in Abuelita’s hot chocolate.

Is there a place that brings back memories?What’s on your nostalgia menu?
