Feel like you haven’t seen the classic snacks of your youth lately? Well, that might be because they’ve gone extinct!
It's sad but true - some of our most popular old favorites have disappeared from grocery store shelves with little to no fanfare.
Never again will a tuna fish sandwich contain the extra zest of Tuna Twist, and you certainly won’t be able to wash down your sad and boring tuna sandwich with a Squeeze-It drink.
February 14th is the day when we take the time to celebrate our friends and family and show them how much we care.
And what better way to share your love with your little one than an extra special Valentine's day lunch?
Here's how:
Special Sandwich
Make your child's favorite sandwich - whether PB & J, turkey and cheese, egg salad - whatever! Then carefully cut it into the shape of a heart. If you have a heart-shaped cookie cutter, that's probably your best bet.
