Young Me - Now Me: The childhood foods that we still love

I spent an hour looking at all of the photos on Color Wars 2008 - YOUNGME - NOWME. I love it! Members were asked to find a picture of themselves when they were very little and then try to recreate that pose and picture at their current age. People did an amazing job of recreating scenes - matching clothing, poses, and expressions.

One photo that stuck out for me was of user sublimecowgirl licking a beater. Licking the beater is something I've loved to do since I was kid. While I don't stare in a mirror while I do it, I imagine that I have the same child-like smile on my face as I did 20 years ago.

What childhood food can we still catch you devouring now?

It's amazing what a couple years does to make an innocent child picture turn into the start of what looks like it could be a porn shoot.

Not that I have a problem with it, just interesting observation.

I followed the link to this site and couldn't help but notice that one of the prizes offered was some "Maple-Bacon Lollipops." Now, why didn't I think of that?? Oh yeah, its DUMB! Check it out yourself at

Fruit rollups. I still raid my nephew's stash whenever I'm over at my sister's house.

i didn't eat typical "childhood"-ish foods when i was a kid, so the things I ate then that i eat now are just..."normal" - lots of Korean food, lots of sushi (i know - how was my mother allowed to feed a five year old sushi?).

one thing i WILL say though, is that i DO eat a lot of foods that i DIDN'T get to eat as a kid - grilled cheese sandwiches and mac n cheese from a BOX. :)

Tell ya what...my childhood was so full of Twinkies and Ho-hos and corndogs that it nauseates me just to think about it. But one unwittingly healthy thing my mom did when we were kids was cut these huge watermelons into giant 2-inch thick rounds, slap them on plates with spoons stuck in the middle like flagpoles on the moon, and tell us to "have at it." To this day I cannot pass a ripe watermelon without looking for one with just the right number of "sugar spots," taking it home, and "having at it" in the aforementioned ritual. Ahhhh.
