They stop making the best ones

I was eating the Kelloggs special K Breakfast Cereal this morning. I left it in milk too long before I was finally able to eat it and it smelt and tasted just like "Bonny Mix", the pudding in the tin, we used to get back in India around the early 1990s. I always will wonder why they stopped making it. Personally, I think it was a smash product, so tasty, my god! I used to remember Goldilocks whenever I ate it (Goldilocks eats the three bear's pudding, I eat Bonny mix pudding, get the connection?!, duh!)

So anyway, that triggered this post. I always maintained a list of things that I loved, which they stopped making in India. And whenever I crib to someone about how they stop making the best things, voila! I have a list ready to be read out. Here it is for the benefit of the world.

-Atari (I looooooooooooovvved this coconut-chocolate, they stopped making it around the time I was in my IV standard. Years and years later, I found similar (but definitely less) joy in eating "Almond Joy" )

-Fudgy (Loved both the chocolate and the He-Man stickers that came with it ;) They were pasted all over the walls and the fan regulator plates (come on, you know what I mean, those white plates on which sat a regulator, with which you could control the speed of the fan) in my home back in Hyd ;) One can find them even today @ our old place!! )

-Bonny Mix

-Bournvita biscuits ( Remote cousin to the chocolate chip cookie, this one is a chocolate cookie, used to taste sooo good...yumm! I miss it even now. Nothing comes close to it even today)

-Dollops Ice cream (Don't know if they make it yet, haven't seen it in a while)

That is my list. This is what I reel over and over again when I complain;) If you have any favourites that they stopped making, drop me a word:)

Do you want to BLOG here?

If you are, then drop me a word and I will add you as an author to our school's community blog where you can share your own Ann's experiences or any of your life's experiences, tips ideas or anything that you would like to blog about in this space. Usually people don't want to start because they don't think they can continue, but if you have one-off random thoughts that you would like to jot, without having to create a whole new blog, this is the place to do it!

Happy Blogging!!

Why this blog?

I think everyone agrees that in today-times, reading blogs is becoming (or at least rapidly catching up) as a favorite pastime. My husband's school has a community blog where people from that school blog regularly. I thought, why not, this is a great idea for our school too! So I crated this blog. I added some people as authorized authors initially. If you want to contribute here, please drop me a line about it and I will add you (of course only after cross-checking you credentials, if you actually came from this great school! )

Happy blogging!
