Since I was very young, so young I have no idea when it started because I was tiny when she started this, my mom always put Planters Cheez Balls and Slim Jims in my easter basket. It wasn't easter until I popped that metal can and got that glorious cheez all over my fingers. Well I went to look for my can and slim jims today to learn that they have been discontinued. I am very very pissed off I don't get to continue this with my kids. Anyone have any traditions like this that got ruined?

Stand up for your rights to orange covered fingers. (http://www.petitiononline.com/cheez123/petition.html) They have close to 2000 sigs already.

I miss these mini hamburgers my grandma used to make me whenever I'd go visit her in portsmouth ohio. Really small homemade buns, well done burger with ketchup and a single bread and butter pickle, soo freaking good.:drool:
I attempted many times to duplicate her recipe after she died but never succeeded.
She also used to hide like 20 bucks worth of small toys she got from a dollar general all around her house. I'd jump out the window of my parents car, run in, hug her and then start tearing that house apart for those toys.
