- I snack during class because I don't really eat
a whole bunch in between.
- And they just let you do that?
- [Children] No.
- That's what hoodie pockets are for.
(electronic music)
- I'm an elderly man,
but when I was a youngster, boy, did I love my snacks.
- I grew up in the golden age of snacking
and I'm excited to share that with some youths.
- Kids these days have more access to, just, internet.
Like, they know what's healthy and what's not.
- I mean, if you look at my sugar intake in a day.
Lucky Charms, breakfast, lunch and dinner,
plus a midnight snack.
I mean, I'm living the life.
- That sounds like the actual life.
- When I was growing up,
there weren't a lot of healthy snacks,
I think the closest we got
was some peanut butter on a stick of celery
and put some raisins on it?
Called ants on a log because--
- Yeah.
- If you've ever seen ants on a log,
that's what it looks like.
- Do you think you have cooler snacks than I had growing up?
- Maybe.
- Wow, I didn't think it would hurt as much as it did.
- Are you ready to eat some snack?
- I'm always ready. - Yes!
- Great.
First up, Snack Packs.
Chocolate pudding.
- Made with real milk.
Now, that's reassuring.
- I'm not sure you guys fully appreciate
the joy in finding one of these bad boys
in your lunch box when you were a kid.
- I would never see it at, like, a lunch table.
- I see a lot of, like, Yoplait,
like the little yogurt thing.
- I feel like everyone, now, is more educated
on, like, what goes into food a little bit more.
When I was a kid it was just more like
whatever's cheap and fast was kind of it.
And whatever had the coolest commercial.
- Really, really savor the peel,
it's part of the process.
- I'm not too big of a fan.
- When something's in a package too long,
you can kind of taste the packaging.
I think that's what this tastes like.
- As delicious as I remember. - I don't really like pudding.
- You don't? - You can see.
- I just don't like the texture.
- I have no words.
- I'll eat it but it's definitely not my first choice.
- This is a no from me.
- It's gonna be a no from me, dog.
- Yeah.
- I have these at my house right now.
I have yet to outgrow these.
- Next up, Handi-Snacks.
- These are one of my absolute favorites.
I have a documented love for these.
- Oh my God, that smell.
It doesn't smell like cheese,
it just smells like this snack.
- These were popular because in first grade,
there was a bully named JT Pickett.
- Tastes so fake.
- Who always stole these from me.
It tastes fake?
- Mm-hmm. - Well it's not--
- Well it's not real.
- Describe to me the rollercoaster of flavor emotions
You're experiencing right now.
- It's crispy and, like, liquid-y.
- Mm-hmm, this is quality snack.
- It's good.
- It's also not my favorite.
- You can't stope eating it.
- I can. - I can't.
- Which is better, these or seaweed chips?
- These.
- Why am I eating it still?
Oh no.
- Next up, Gogurt!
The yogurt for walking around with.
- I remember when these were the hot new technology
in the yogurt world.
- I spent 10 years of my life avoiding yogurt,
then a commercial comes on the television
and tells me that there's Gogurt.
- I used to have these a lot,
but this is probably gonna be the first time I've had one
in like, four years.
- I love this, there's always a little corner thing
that just made it super easy to tear open.
- No it doesn't.
- Great, right?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Just like I remembered.
- All those two years ago.
- I think it's delicious.
Tasted almost like strawberry.
- I don't hate it, which is a plus.
- They're still amazing.
- And the tube makes them better.
I think if they were in a cup, it wouldn't be as good.
- I just realized that it's by Yoplait.
- It's all the same stuff, man.
They just put it in a tube.
- Pizza time.
Not pizza, but pizza Lunchables.
- Oh boy, you are in for a treat today.
This is my favorite, probably,
of all my childhood snacks.
- My mom never really bought these much for us.
She's not like a big health nut
but we'd ask for these and she'd be like,
"I'll get them for you but why?"
- Oh my God it smells like nostalgia.
- I just remember the sauce being so messy.
- The cheese always tasted strange.
- Are you guys excited to try this one?
- Yeah but I don't eat pepperoni 'cause I'm vegetarian.
- Yeah, I don't eat pepperoni either
'cause I'm vegetarian too.
- It's cold.
- Yes, that's the point! - I know.
- I loved eating it cold.
- So, we'll just pass this down
and we'll do some sauce and cheese, is that good?
- Yeah. - Also, more pepperoni for me.
- Are you making a little smiley face?
- Little smiley face. - That's wonderful.
- [Ethan] And then he'd gonna get demolished.
- Does anything about the idea of this gross you out?
- Yeah.
It's like putting marinara sauce of pita bread.
- Don't ruin this for me.
- Marina was also like a packaged...
- Yeah.
- [Natalie] It feel rubbery.
- Yep, that's the 90's for you.
- You guys can have all the cheese.
I'm just gonna go sauce and pep'.
- Yeah, it tastes like rubber.
But, like, in a good way.
- I'm not a fan, I'm sorry.
- Really?
I think it was all right.
Better than I expected, but not great.
- It doesn't taste like pizza
but Lunchables isn't supposed to.
- No.
- And I'm okay with this.
- It works, right?
It's delicious.
- It's like assembling a pizza
but not putting it in the oven.
- I'm like, out of my body right now,
I'm a child again.
- It's one of those things, so bad it's good.
- [Brenden] So is this something that you guys
would ever voluntarily eat again?
- No.
- Bowl, you guys.
- I'll just finish this.
- Oh!
I'm sorry, one more time?
What did you just say?
- I'll finish it.
- Oh, you're gan finish it--
- But only because I haven't had dinner yet
and I'm really hungry.
- Oh.
- One thing I've noticed that's completely different
from your generation to ours
is that we like our spice, we like different flavors.
Bam, Takis.
Cornerstone of youth education.
Really spicy.
- And kinda limey.
- They're the best.
- Oh, I didn't know they were rolled up like this.
- Yeah, they're like rolled tortilla chips.
- As someone who hates sweets
and is more a fan of salty, spice,
I am delighted to see this much seasoning on them.
Yeah, I could use five bags of these.
- Lime and spice go together so well.
- They do, are you all right?
Too much Taki?
- It went down my throat.
- What do you guys think of 90's snacks?
- They weren't bad.
I had one good one.
- They just felt a little bit cardboard-ish,
but then you have your Gogurt that, honestly,
it's like a throwback, it tastes so good.
- I don't think you would've been happy in my youth.
- I feel like I would've.
- I feel like I would've gotten tired of it.
- I don't wanna try your generation's snacks.
- Okay, all right.
Would you wanna, maybe?
- Well, no because we have them, so.
- Do you guys feel like you are healthier?
Like, before you eat a snack
do you actually look at the label
and then like, "What am I about to eat?"
- I feel like parents are on the child a lot more now.
- We know what we're supposed to eat
and they kind of expect us to make the right choice.
Obviously we're not gonna make the right choice
all the time, we like to have fun, we're kids.
- Yeah, we can balance it out.
- For every cookie, we eat a carrot.
- No, but, you know,
one day we'll have more vegetables than cookies.
- That's incredible because, I gotta say,
when I was younger, I don't think any of us
were paying any attention to what we were eating.
We were like, "We're kids, we'll just eat crap!"
- But obviously, can't go wrong with your Lucky Charms.
- You cant.
- Cereal--
- Imma keep bringing that up. - Is the best snack.
- I love it.
