80's food

6fsn · March 2014

Does anything come to mind for food when you hear "80's party."

That's the theme for Bunco next month and I'm hosting. I have neon sunglasses and jelly bracelets to pass out and found an 80s station on Pandora. I'll be sporting leggings and leg warmers and maybe a high pony. Any other ideas? These women kind of go all out.

The first thing I thought of were wine coolers.

Zima! Or is that early 90s?

Tang was definitely a 70s thing.

I'm thinking of the menu for all of our house parties and it usually included:

deviled eggs

salad with thousand island dressing

meatballs

chips with French onion dip (Man, that was my fav)

6fsn · March 2014

deviled eggs, meatballs, and French onion dip are still favorites in our house.

I was drinking Zima in college, but wine coolers were definitely that era. I might have to look even though I already had a drink in mind.

NOLABridesmaid · March 2014

Ha. Yes, French onion dip will never go out of style.:)

Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill and Tickle Pink were big on my campus in the early 80s before wine coolers.

0Face · March 2014

I almost yelled "BOONES FARM!" outloud. That would've been interesting.

GBCK · March 2014

Obritz came to mind, but I think it (and crystal pepsi) were 90's

Atomic fireballs come to mind, but that may just have been my neighborhood.
lunchables?

wasn't the snackewll's cake thing an 80's thing?

Tab soda? and orange juilius?
