Yes, I agree. Those were the days. You're right - it was not just eating those snacks that was so incredibly satisfying. The camrodierie brought it all together for the pure joy of it all.

We definitely baked our own little pizzas in the 80s, those $2-a-pop meals were amazing for us kids. I remember when Cool Ranch Doritos came out, too, because I was playing D&D (I was a tad older than the classic sleepover age, but not by much, maybe 12 or so).

Purplesaurus Rex was the King of Kool-Aid where I grew up.

Oh yes! Doritos, pop rocks and zots, lemon heads, Big league chew bubble gum. Used to love staying at my friend Sue's house. Her mom would always make a huge plate of grilled cheese sandwiches stacked a mile high. Tony's frozen pizza was a hit on the weekends too.
