Caribbean or Latin/South American Plantain chips - the ripe salted ones.
A lady I was dating turned me on to those. Quite good. I'll still occasionally buy them to this day, and the portion is a fair bit smaller than a big bag of chips. (And you can get them salt free, or with low salt, but you should try the salted ones first.)

A good friend of mine tried crack once, and he said I'm never doing it again, not because I didn't like it, but because I fucking LOVED IT!
I smoked a crack rock once, in 1995. I was at a poker game, and one of the players offered me one for free.

For me, it was OK, but hardly memorable. He offered me another one later, and I said no. I was only curious. I've had no interest in trying it again.

Omg!

In my late teens/early twenties I went through a sweets phase and I was addicted to Reese's Puffs and chocolate milk!

I ate that everyday!

Along with the giant Chewy Sweet Tarts and Reid's Dairy Birthday Cake Ice Cream.

I was a spinner then, go figure.
My favorite thing to do was to smoke a big blunt, empty an entire box of Reese's Puffs into a mixing bowl, add an entire carton of chocolate milk and watch Pinky and the Brain on Sunday mornings

Mrs. Whyte's went bankrupt and are no longer made. Strub's are still around in some grocery stores.
Barberian's steakhouse(Toronto) does their pickling in house, and it's the closet I've tasted to Mrs. Whyte's. Here is a link from which you can order them.

Strubs had been owned by Mrs Whyte's for several years so when Whytes went down so did Strubs. FYI, the Strubs you see in stores today are are made by a German company which bought the name and labeling rights during the bankruptcy proceeding. Sadly, they're terrible, nowhere close to the original Strubs. The closest I've found to the original Strubs recipe is Marty's Pickles. Marty is the grandson of the Strub's founder. Here's a link: https://martyspickles.ca/. You want the "Original Brine Dills."

And yes, Strubs were my weakness. Could eat an entire jar at a sitting.

Interesting. I mentioned in a previous post my current favourites are Bick's dill pickles with garlic. A close second are Chicago 58 pickles(I assume they are original brine).

Now that's an interesting comment.
