    A lot of these are a bit before my time, but I do remember three or four of them…

      I’m pretty sure Chun King Chow Mein was sold into the 70s.

      And Bireley’s orange juice is sold in Japan, owned by Asahi, the company that makes beer. I drank it a lot when I lived in Japan, I didn’t know it was originally a U.S. company.

          Doug probably still has them all in his pantry.

            Here’s a bit of interesting trivia -

            The founder of Chun King was a guy by the name of Paulucci whose next act was to invent Pizza Rolls.

              I clearly remember four - Chun King, Spry, HiHo and French’s Worcestershire sauce. French’s is still sold today.

              I vaguely remember BV, maybe my grandmother used it.

                I remember Chun King, HiHo, and French's Worcestershire. And I loved Uneeda Biscuits.
