80's Cafe

Okay everyone... Help Me! I want to open an 80's-themed restaurant. Lots of bright pastel colors, vintage arcade games, 80's music, and TV's showing reruns of everything from Diff'rent Strokes to Growing Pains 24-hours a day.

But what the hell type of food do you serve there that's 80's themed? In a 50's diner, you serve the only food that was available in the 1950's - Hamburgers. But what foods define the 80's?

[livejournal.com profile] bghsmith has been kind enough to suggest Crystal Clear Pepsi, Taco Pizza, and BBQ Chicken Pizza. All I have been able to come up with on my own is the Hostess "Choc-O-Licious" snack cake, washed down with a 16-ounce can of New Coke (C-c-c-c-catch the wave!)... there was to be *SOMETHING ELSE* that was specifically 80's, right?

Wasn't The 80's when the whole "Kraft CHEESE and Macaroni" war started?

Anyway... any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Just thought of another (Is it just me or were there a LOT of snacky things in the 80's)

Banana Flips- banana flavored cake about 4" around, filled w/ banana flavored cream and folded in half. Damn I loved those things!

And let us not forget apple spice cupcakes with cream cheese icing. They've started selling those again to, but for about 10 years, there was nary a one to be found.
