BLASTS FROM THE PAST

Favorite products you and I may remember from our growing up days

 that are still on supermarket shelves...

Don't you remember them?

I do ~ and mind you, they're still my favorite! ☺

CAMPBELL'S CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP

is the original go-to thickener and gravy base that our lolas (grandmas), moms and cooks couldn't do without.

HUNT'S PORK & BEANS

We love our canned food thanks to the Americans who brought us HUNT'S PORK & BEANS, a childhood breakfast staple.

CHEEZ WHIZ

Nothing beats good ol' CHEEZ WHIZ spread thickly on pan de sal or white bread.

CHOC-NUT

Who needs imported chocolate when you have CHOC-NUT, the timeless peanut choco treat that has spawned Choc-Nut addicts through the ages?!

IDEAL ELBOW MACARONI

Before we knew what linguini or penne was, there was IDEAL ELBOW MACARONI, now in gourmet packaging.

FIBISCO CHOCO CRUNCHIES,

in their signature foil wrappers, have delighted generations of children with that perfect combination of sweetness and crunch.

QUEENSLAND BUTTER

in a can recalls the fabled Bruun butter of generations past, still the best for butter cake.

LIBBY'S VIENNA SAUSAGE

can be used everywhere, from breakfast food to sandwiches, chopped up in pancit or spaghetti, or stuffed into embotido.

PEOTRACO CONFECTIONERS' POWDERED SUGAR

Need powdered sugar?

Then it has to be PEOTRACO CONFECTIONERS' POWDERED SUGAR, still unchanged in its signature green packaging since 1924.

SUN-MAID RAISINS

And who doesn't know that red-hooded girl smiling on the boxes of SUN-MAID RAISINS, an American import we've readily adapted into our local dishes?!
