25 Soul Food Snacks From the 1960s That Have Completely Disappeared!

In 1963, a woman in Clarksdale, Mississippi, ran a house store out of her kitchen where she sold snacks to neighborhood children for a nickel apiece. She had a cigar box full of pennies and a screen door that never fully closed. She sold molasses candy wrapped in wax paper, crackling bread cut into squares, and pickles soaked in cherry Kool-Aid that turned your fingers red for the rest of the afternoon. She did not have a business license. She did not have a menu. She had a kitchen and a knowledge of what tasted right. That kitchen is number 1 on this list. Number 18 disappeared because the woman who fried them every Saturday morning passed in 1987 and her granddaughter could never get the edges crispy enough. Number 13 sounds wrong until you taste it, and then you understand exactly why your grandmother kept a bottle of vinegar next to the sugar bowl. Now this is not a cooking show, and I am not a doctor or a dietitian. This is not medical advice. This is just a walk through the snacks that used to appear on porches, in church halls, and on the counters of kitchens that smelled like something you will never forget. Hit that subscribe button.
