Where did these snacks go? (Only 90's kids will remember).

in #food7 years ago (edited)

I was born in 1982. Class of 2000. Definitely a 90's kid!

When I close my eyes, and reminisce my childhood, my most impassioned memories are encompassed by junk. I grew up on sugar.

In an era where grams of fat caused collective hysteria, sugar was a viable alternative for corporations to replenish the missing taste in food.

Anyways; Here are my absolute, top 5 favorite snacks from my childhood. Most of them are discontinued.

What number is your favorite? Did I miss any classics?

5.) Fruit Roll-Ups

4.) Flintsones Push-Up's

Ermahgherd! I still see push pops every once in a while, but I LOVED them as a kid! (even now, if I can find them) And fruit roll ups were the cats meow :)

Love this series!

You still see them? Well, TBH I have only been back to USA once, in the past 5 years now... So I didn't see them on my last trip.

I was struggling to choose between push pops and pudding pops... Push pops gave me better memories, whereas pudding pops were much more delicious!

Do you remember the shapes in the fruit rollups? Peeling them out?

_Rob

Yup, then came the tongue tattoo ones!

I have not seen a pudding pop in years. About a year ago I actually went searching for them because I really wanted some really bad. In several months time I could not find any in all the stores I visited in the tri county area!

I graduated in 2008, but I remember and love all of those snacks, especially fruit roll ups!

Don't forget fruit by the foot :)

A ripoff, because it wasn't actually 3 feet long!

Thanks for your comment... I guess some would consider you the 90's kid, and me an 80's kid... But all of my best memories were around 10 years old+

#5 is what I remember the most.. I was born in 82 as well

Awesome! So were you also in the class of 2000? I guess it kinda depends on your birth month.

I owe you some upvotes BTW... Just have to regen my voting power. Especially for your Lake Catherine photos... I will definitely make a trip there, on my planned cross-country RV trip... Hopefully next year it comes to fruition.

And a shout out to the elusive, white shark bite.
