80's food
in Wedding Woes
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.

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)
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.
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?
