Anyone remember this stuff? Well, I shouldn't admit that I do. I found it at Big Lots and just had to buy it.
I didn't know they still made it.

Wow is right. My kids always liked Bosco. I'll try to get to Big Lots and surprise them with a bottle (of course, they may not be too excited since they are now both in their 50's . . . yikes!!!).

So tell me about Bosco! I have never heard of it.

I vaguely remember Boscos BUT our family favorite was Hershey's Chocolate syrup in the cans that you punctured on both sides with a "church key!" Anyone remember those cans?

I remember those too...

I remember Hershey's in the can, but we had Nestle's Quik.

In MY home, I buy Hershey's in the plastic squeeze bottle...oh...Hershey's DARK chocolate. I keep a couple of extras in the pantry because I am NOT happy if I run out. Coffee-schmoffee. I gotta have my glass of chocolate milk in the morning.

Geez...I hadn't heard that word for probably 45 years! LOL! Yep, my mom used to get that when we were kids. Didn't even know they still made it!

Hand over the Bosco, nance, and nobody will get hurt.

I wonder if still tastes the same or if they have fudged with the recipe.

Who remembers Fox's U Bet?

funny acychihuahua!!! What the heck is Fox's U Bet? Are u "toying" with us???

And to tell y'all the truth. I can't remember how Bosco tastes. I haven't opened it yet, but will let you know as soon as my Hershey's is finished. DD needs chocolate in her milk, too, KUIS. Wonder if she'll like Bosco???

I remember Bosco and Hershey's in the can and I also remember Log Cabin Syrup in a tin can.
I never liked Nestle's Quick...it left an after taste!

BOSCO BEAR!
I even remember the commercials. =D

It's a Brooklyn thang. :>)

New Yawkers of a certain vintage know Fox's U Bet thick chocolate syrup (made in Brooklyn since 1895) as the main ingredient in "egg creams," a soda fountain favorite. Fox's is blended with ice cold milk and seltzer water to make a creamy and refreshing summertime drink. And, it's easy to make at home. PS -- there are NO eggs in egg cream.

OMG, Yes!!!!! I knew we didn't have "BOSCO" but I could not remember the chocolate we did have. That's it, Fox's U Bet!!!!
That's the stuff of childhood dreams, thanks for making my day.
I'm originally from "Queens, New Yawk". I have no idea if it was only a New Yawk thing or not!!!

Ok, then, you New Yawkers. I challenge you to find Fox's U Bet and post the pic. Or Bosco is one (won) on ya!!!

I'm an Angeleno but I do know that Fox's u-bet is sold to restaurants now but you can order online at the WEBstaurant store. http://www.webstaurantstore.co...hopping.com+Campaign

Here is your requested picture. --

Very Good Job!!!

Yeah, but anyone can find a picture of it. I want to know if you can find the actual item and then take a picture of it???

Last weekend I went to Stop N Shop Supermarket just to pick up a couple of things.
Right on the shelf was BOSCO & FOX'S UBET!!!! I actually had my camera with me for the first time in a supermarket (went for a long walk first) but didn't take a picture of it. (sorry!) I was debating whether to buy it or not. The next time I want chocolate syrup for ice cream, that's where I'll go for FOX'S UBET!!!

I wonder why we're seeing these "old" items now? I've never seen them in the stores before.

I love Fox's ubet!!! I didn't know it was made in Brooklyn, I, too was born in Brooklyn. Come to think of it I moved out of New York and have not had it since.

Just yesterday I was walking by the isle, didn't need to go down it. Right there near the end of the isle was--BOSCO!

Interesting. I wonder if there is a movement to bring back items for the Baby Boomers "memory lane" kind of thing, perhaps to introduce it to a new generation--their grandkids.

Just asked DH who was born and brought up in Bklyn (Greenpoint/williamsburg) and he never heard of it, but does love his Hershey's in a glass of cold milk.

I remember Bosco too! How about Ovaltine? My dad used to want me always to drink that to "build" myself up!

Oh, wow, I remember Bosco! I don't think my mom ever bought it but I sure remember it.

Gosh, IR, now that you mentioned it, I do vaguely remember those cans with the keys.

Wow, such a nice trip jogging a few memories that I had totally forgotten about.
