At least the ones in my area. They carry 20% food and grocery and then 80% alcohol. I'm from the Bronx and your list is similar to mine execpt I would put Quarter waters at number one, say Winterfresh/ Juicy fruit because Winter fresh came out around '94. I would remove pickle in a bag, Charleston chew, pineapple soda, rap snack and replace them with Butter Crunch Cookies, 50 cents juices/soda, Hostess Cupcakes and Swiss Cake Rolls. Not necessarily in that order. I would also add Italian ices. The ones that came in the cup you had to scoop it out with a small flat wooden stick. :-) I’ve only been living here for about 3 years but most of the “bodegas” in Jersey City are a front for liquors stores.

The honey bun makes me think of Pill's "a big boy" which looks pretty good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5somtePRLQM Pineapple soda is the best!

Except the freezie pops but they were called Mr. Freeze. However, the bodegas in gambia used to have these sandwich cookies with banana-flavoured filling. I remember they were so yummy but i'd hate to try them now. It would completely alter my good memories. hmmm, I didn’t have any of these growing up.

I remember a classmate, no more then 7 years old, selling me some out of her backpack during recess. It was my first taste of the black market and banana flavored sugar.
