Couple of things for me.

One is tiny croutons. I don’t see them anywhere anymore. They taste the same but it’s kind of a pain sometimes to keep the big ones on your fork. The small ones were a little more satisfying to snack on too.

Second is Blue Nehi. Never met anyone else that’s tried or heard of it. Damn it was good though. Big Blue is kinda similar but those always taste under carbonated.

    User friendly and logically designed interfaces. The crap that is designed now is stupidly designed and I’ve seriously lost my enjoyment of using electronics.

    My ex wife.

    That’s sarcasm. But when I was in college, there used to be Popeye’s all-you-can-eat buffet locations and also a “Super Popeyes” that sold liquor and fajitas when you were flush and had $20 bills. I don’t want to eat unlimited fast food today but I wish young people today could have the experience of being lit and eating all the Popeyes.

    I found Blue Nehi exactly one time in my life! It was at a little convenience store tucked away in a neighborhood in like 2006 lol

    It was one of the most delicious sodas I ever tried, but I never found it again anywhere else…

    One thing I really miss is old wood console CRT televisions. The kind that looked more like a piece of furniture than an appliance. Aside from just looking cool, I just miss how the picture looked on those old TV’s too! The one we had when I was a kid had a big warning on the back to call a repair technician if anything wasn’t working right, and to adjust the picture you had to stick a butter knife into a hole in the back lol

      I remember the one I had as a kid (TV). Picture wasn’t great of course but there was something really satisfying about those big, heavy dials that clicked when you changed channels.

      Last time I had Blue Nehi I was probably also a kid (early 90s).

      For what it’s worth I had it too and while I liked peach much more I remember blue as a cream soda variant. So maybe try some of those and see how close they are

    This isn’t gone quite yet but Macy’s closing stores is really sad for me. It has the best clothing deals ever, you could come out with several bags worth of stuff for only a few hundred dollars and it’s all very good quality and often brand names. I saved a bundle shopping there and I’m terrified the one closest to me will close.

    Proper Compact phones. Think Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact or iphone mini size. Screen size of less than 5", none of this phablet sized monstrocity. Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S24 or the Zenfone 8 - 10 exist (I’m typing this on a Zenfone 8), but I personally bo not consider them compact in any way.

    Rant over. :p

      The Samsung flip z fold up really small, also very durable to drops. My wife has one and loves it. Pricey though (the flip 3 is good used though)
