Hamburger America: Eastside Big Tom in Olympia, Washington

The goop was great I know the recipe. Big Tom's was the greatest when I grew up. My little league team would go there, or Shakey's, after we won. There was one in Lacey and Tumwater too, but I think the West Olympia is the only one left. (Tito, did you go to Evergreen, St. Martins, or SPSCC? I went to Evergreen class of 90.)

Pepsi to Use Real Sugar in 'Pepsi Throwback' and 'Mountain Dew Throwback' in April

C'mon Pepsi & Coke. Have this stuff available year round. I am tired of importing mine from Mexico. Ditto Dr. Pepper. I love the sugar-based Dr. Pepper from Dublin, TX, but having it shipped up winds up costing almost $3 per 8oz. bottle.

I only buy sugar-based soda (Crater Lake Cream Soda is my current favorite).

Grilled Cheese Throwdown

Though I love my Wonder Bread and 3 Kraft Singles, I graduated to Havarti and a thin slice of turkey on rustic white bread, toasted and dipped in olive & garlic salsa.

Top 10 Awesome Nostalgic Foods We Want Back

Doritos Taco Bell Taco Supreme corn chips (I swear you could taste the lettuce)

Texas Best BBQ Sauce (originally only available at my local Hickory Farms, once it finally reached supermarket shelves they stopped making it).

KFC Chicken Littles (way better than the Snackers)

The family is from the old A&W chain when they had Papa Burgers, Mama Burgers, Teen Burgers, and Baby Burgers.

The Mama Burgers were great!
