That isn't ringing a bell with me. I only remember my grandma's fudge she used to make when I was in preschool..... someone brought in real fudge the first year I worked at Mecca, and it was way to sweet for me to eat.....

Fudge Jumbles was a brownie mix that came in a box. I'm pretty sure the "jumbles" part had peanut butter. They were really good!
I've never heard of those either. I just swirled in regular melted peanut butter into the pan after pouring the brownie batter in.

We were talking about Danish-go-Rounds a while back, when everybody thought I was just making them up until I came up with evidence.

I I think that might have continued on to a conversation where I said you could get lots of stuff from the 70's and 80's in the Phillippines (like Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific) and there's also a place in Vermont where you can get some food products of yore (like Teaberry gum).

Yes - in VT the general store (it might have a fancier name than that but general store is in the name) - I went there last year when I was in VT, it was awesome!! If anyone needs anything there let me know as I will be there in September. They have lots of old time food products, and old toys too!!! But the reason I stop there is it's mid-way-ish to my meeting location and they have a phenomenal food sample selection, so I get a free snack...but I always buy a soda since they have diet coke in glass bottles and other fun old time soda.

Damn, I totally forgot that you and hottie were actually close to Vermont! I really might take you up on that offer as I have been very interested in their offerings but the mail order and/or shipping prices are quite dear.

And, yes, I do think the name is just The General Store.

Yeah, let me know...I make a planned stop there anyway, so it's not a problem at all. And flat rate boxes make shipping cheap!!! I'll be there 9/9 - 9/12. And if you really needed something sooner, I'd take a drive up there for you, I think it's only about 2 hours from my house to the store. And Yankee Candle is on the way so it would be a bonus.

The Vermont General Store...or whatever it's called, do they have a small black and white catalogue? If so, I actually have ordered from them in the past. I used to be addicted to those brown sugar candies that are in the shape of a maple leaf.

Dammit, I wasn't sure about "general" store, so I didn't specify in my first post about it and then when you said general that was good enough for me, so I concurred.

Country.....General...... whatever....... It's all Mr. Drucker and checker games on the pickle barrel anyway. Ha!

I call it the General Store!! I thought that was the name of it, but this is definitely the place. Is this the one you were talking about?

Yes, it is. As soon as I saw "country" in your link, I knew that Country was right, not General (although, like you, my first thought was General).

Yep, that's the one! They have the maple leaf candies. They also carry Dr. Scholl's, and I had ordered a pair of those from them a while back as well. Browsing their site makes me want to go there! We'll definitely put it on the list for when Fanny comes to CT.! I know, I know, it may not be THIS year.

Well I am going this year, and I'll take orders. And like I said, I'm happy to go before September, if there is a need.

If it's before September, let me know so I can peruse their site and make a list! (It's sweet of sunflower to offer to make a special trip if there's a need before that, but I've been looking at their site for years, so nothing is really a "need". Ha!)

When we go to the Vermont Quilt Festival there are stores along the way that are must stop at places.

The Vermont Country Store is a given as is King Arthur Flour. Basketville is often stopped at and coming back it is Candles for sure!

As long as there is still room in the car after buying all the fabric at the Quilt Festival.
