Blew out a flip flop..

This has been a long brutal Colorado winter, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.  Before you know it, I'll be able to rock these Margaritaville Flip Flops I picked up last year..






These flip flops are finely crafted, super comfortable, and look sharp to boot.  The perfect footwear for wasting away in Margaritaville (or your back yard).

RIP Hostess Raspberry Filled Powdered Donuts — A Nostalgic Favorite

Image
I wrote an article close to a decade ago, to share my dismay with Hostess for discontinuing their Raspberry Filled Donuts. That article was still getting an unreal amount of traffic and interaction to this very day. In fact, no other article I have written has brought the amount of traffic to 'The Retro Dad' that this one has. It's still a subject that lots of folks are interested in, so I have dusted off the article and updated it for the snack cake loving masses in 2023. Enjoy.. Hostess Raspberry Filled Donuts were originally called 'Hostess O's'. I rememeber when we called them O's, and I believe the name was changed in the late 70s. I don't eat a lot of donuts now, but.. Over the last year and a half, I've developed a much healthier relationship with food. The other day while shopping with my wife, I did something that puzzled her. She couldn't believe I was perusing the snack cake aisle intently. A few years ago she wouldn't have even bl...

Discontinued Hostess and Tastykake Cherry Sweet Rolls

In this blog post, I break down what happened with these beloved snack cakes that generations have come to love, are no longer available for purchase, and possible substitutions. The Hostess Sweet Roll Remember these rolls? Well I sure do! In fact, they were a big part of my childhood growing up. My absolute favorite was the Cherry Sweet Rolls, but my parents preferred the Cinnamon Rolls, so that's what they bought 90% of the time. Mind you, I would never complain about eating the cinnamon rolls if they were in front of me. I remember my Mom putting these out for people she would invite over for coffee, or for visitors after dinner. On weekends, my Dad would get up early to buy a newspaper, and would bring these home for us as a snack before breakfast. That was a weekend tradition I carried on after I started my own family. The Hostess Cherry Sweet Roll's Cousin Everything about these rolls are still so very vivid in my mind. The wax paper tray that surrounded the rolls, ...

Red Baron vs Tombstone Retro Pizza Taste Test 2025 Update

Red Baron vs Tombstone Pizza Taste Test As I discovered in my recent blog post..  Finding Comfort in the Worst Pizza You’ve Ever Had , a pizza doesn’t have to be fancy to bring comfort and good memories. Frozen pizza nights have always been part of growing up, whether it was a late night in college, a quick Friday dinner, or just a snack when nothing else sounded good. Today we’re putting two classic favorites head to head Red Baron and Tombstone to see which one comes out on top in flavor, ease, and nostalgia. From the first bite to the last, these pizzas are more than just convenience food.. they also bring a little slice of memory. Packaging and Presentation Red Baron keeps it simple with that classic red box and logo you know from the freezer aisle. Tombstone goes a little bigger with bold colors and promises of "bold flavors." Both are easy to find and fun to open, but I always get a little more excited about that Tombstone box. Something about it just feels more like...
