has been a popular food for many years due to its cheap cost and how quickly it can be made it fell
out of popularity during the great depression the snack food did find its footing once more with
the introduction of microwavable popcorn in 1981 which allowed families to make their own popcorn

as a popular snack among many households with the newly reinvigorated popcorn industry came

hi c where's the high c hi c and fluffernutters hi-c is a fruit-flavored juice drink that was
originally made in 1946 though it was not officially produced and sold until 1948
after two years of perfecting the ideal recipe over the years the producers of hi-c came out
with all sorts of different flavors and types to keep their drinks flying off of store shelves
at the height of its popularity high c came out with a drink type in collaboration
with the popular 1980s cartoon based on the ghostbusters movie high c ecto cooler after
a few years of heavy popularity largely due to this collaboration and heavy marketing efforts
high c slowly declined in sales and many people forgot about the beverage for the most part
i don't recall in more recent years high c has seen a resurgence in sales and a huge part of that
is due to the fact that they brought back the popular ghostbusters themed flavor
making a short-term comeback though they did receive some backlash due to how hard it truly was
for people to find and purchase the limited time release they also re-released it a second time
though it could not be purchased and instead had to be won via interaction with the official high
c social media channels while high c might not be the household name that it once was it has seen a
definite resurgence in popularity in recent years largely due to some heavy marketing work which
has been an important part of high seas popularity over the years the annetta ice cream cake i think
everybody likes ice cream cake vianetta ice cream cake was originally launched by a british company
in 1982. this layered product was a popular treat though it was considered more of a luxury than
other available ice cream products at the time due to its more expensive nature and fancier
method of production often it was served as a special family treat for important celebrations
while it enjoyed heavy popularity in the uk in its first few years of production this unique
dessert was eventually sold internationally first introduced to north america in the late 1980s
vianetta ice cream cake quickly became a popular novelty treat among this new group of consumers
it was also launched in cooperation with kfc and pizza hut restaurants which helped it spread
in popularity through north america while its popularity waned over the years as the novelty
of its unique layered shape wore off it found a small resurgence in more recent years even
though vionetta ice cream desserts might not be a popular treat in north america anymore it is still
very popular in other places such as australia new zealand italy finland and other places around the
world pudding pops i love jelly pudding pop pudding pops are another frozen sweet treat
that were very popular back in the 1980s they were first produced in the 1970s but they didn't
rise to the height of their popularity until the 1980s pudding pops thrived heavily over the years
quickly becoming a household staple in many places a less expensive and yet still delicious frozen
treat they were accessible to many households which really helped it extend its reach as far
as possible eventually the frozen dessert was pulled from stores due to waning popularity
and the company claimed that the treat was no longer profitable for them they did make an
attempt to relaunch the treat in the early 2000s let's start again despite this attempt to launch
their once popular item they did not see the success that they had in the past this was largely
due to the fact that the recipe had changed and people found that the taste and texture
was not what they remembered and this drove the company to begin to pull the product from shelves
once more about several years after the relaunch while you may not be able to buy the official
product from the original manufacturer in stores any longer people are serious about bringing back
their favorite treat from the 1980s as such there are plenty of recipes out there to make your own
pudding pops at home because they still stand their ground as one of the best things to come
out of the 80s bread bowls could you put it in a big bowl we don't have big bowls bread bowls
are exactly what they sound like for those who may not know it is a literal bowl made of bread
typically you would serve chilis stews or thicker soups in them such as new england-style clam
chowder they were invented a long long time ago but rose once more in popularity in the
1980s their popularity during the 80s was largely due to some restaurants who began serving their
clam chowder in it it quickly caught on and became a popular option at many restaurants
it's a very popular dish in detroit michigan the bread bowl put a fun twist on some common dishes
eventually the bread bowl fell out of style due to overuse and while it was still used in restaurants
and at home it wasn't nearly as common or as popular as it had been recently the bread bowl
has found its footing in the market once more largely thanks to the hard work of the folks
at panera who have begun offering it around 2018 and the majority of their restaurants people once
again began to fall in love with the bread bowl and for the moment at least we are seeing a jump
in popularity for the age-old treat lean cuisine cuisine i think i got a bean pocket around here
these quick ready meals made it easy for people to enjoy a more balanced microwavable meal while
some may question how healthy a microwavable meal really can be the lean cuisine brand is actually
held to a certain standard because of their name due to the usage of lean in their brand name all
of their frozen meals are legally required to meet fda calorie restrictions as well as restrictions
on fat and cholesterol content this accountability standard helps assure consumers that they are
truly getting a healthier microwave meal than many of the other options available yes it's true lean
cuisine enjoyed the height of its popularity during the first 10 or so years of its launch
adding different types of meals to its lineup as time went on despite the addition of different
foods they did slow down in overall popularity though never enough to pull their product from
shelves largely due to the fact that many people are extremely busy these days these meals have
been bouncing back they've also added vegan meal options to appeal to a wider audience of consumers
while lean cuisine never truly left the market the brand is making a comeback maybe not to the
height of its popularity back in the 80s but a comeback nonetheless hot buttered cheerios
cheerios they don't got cheerios what else while hot buttered cheerios are not an official licensed
product made by any producer they were in fact a popular snack back in the 1980s quick easy
and cheap to make many kids who grew up in the 80s will remember them well also known as fried
cheerios this snack was simply made by frying cheerios in a pan with butter and enough salt
to taste a nice alternative to other salty snacks such as popcorn hot buttered cheerios can be made
in a pinch if no other salty snack is available and you wish to satisfy your cravings sounds nice
the original recipe calls for just a bit of salt to be added to the mix as you fry the cheerios in
butter but other things can be added to modify the original snack recipes that are widely available
on the internet include such things as cinnamon sugar or garlic there are also suggestions to
use available variations of the cereal itself such as taking the apple cinnamon flavored cereal and
frying that in the butter for a taste reminiscent of apple pie for reasons unknown the snack fell
out of popularity among many families but has recently found its way back into the hearts and
homes of many while the recipe is rather simple many versions of it can now be found online frozen
yogurt people love frozen yogurt i don't know what to tell you frozen yogurt was officially
introduced to the market in the 1970s but at that time it didn't find much traction among consumers
it was not until 1981 that the first frozen yogurt specific shop opened its doors and kicked
off the 1980s craze for the frozen treat frozen yogurt became popular due to growing popularity
of finding healthier alternatives to everyday favorites and people slowly began to realize
that they could trade in their high sugar ice cream for frozen yogurt options instead
frozen yogurt offered not only options that tasted similar to ice cream but also offered flavors that
ice cream did not it's genius it really is opening themselves up to a wider market of
consumers than the classic frozen alternative eventually as the dieting craze began to slow
so too did the popularity of frozen yogurt while it never truly disappeared it no longer enjoyed
the attention that it once had in recent years it has enjoyed a resurgence and consumers began
to once again flock back to the frozen option largely due to more frozen yogurt shops opening up
which offered more options than their counterparts in the 80s as well as offering plenty of topping
options ranging from candies to fresh fruit so people could customize their choices even more
than before fruit roll-ups do you think we talk about our relationship enough yeah do we have
any fruit roll-ups fruit roll-ups were launched in the 1980s and heavily marketed mainly aiming
their marketing at kids which meant plenty of tv commercials during saturday morning cartoons
originally fruit roll-ups were marketed as a fruit-filled snack despite the fact that there was
little to no actual fruit or fruit juices used in the recipe regardless of this fruit roll-ups were
a popular choice by many parents as a lunch or after-school snack for their children kids widely
enjoyed them likely because of their fun colors but also because of the high sugar content that
makes fruit roll-ups less of a snack and more of a candy i don't really care after soaring popularity
in the 80s fruit roll-ups found themselves less popular among consumers as people began to realize
that they were much higher in sugar and much less healthy than they had originally been led
to believe after a quick lawsuit over their claims of how much fruit was included which was settled
out of court fruit roll-ups began to find their way back into popularity among consumers who now
purchased them with a better understanding of their true sugar content lunchables oh cool
you got turkey and cheese vegetables i got pizza lunchables were originally manufactured in the
latter part of the 1980s marketed as a quick meal for kids when their parents found themselves short
of time after a market research study showed that the primary concern was not having time to make
breakfast in the morning for their families and also pack lunches for their kids to take to school
offering a variety of combinations that included lunch meat crackers
nachos and even miniature hot dogs lunchables has been a household name since their original release
after a few years of popularity due to their innovation the lunchables brand found themselves
plateauing and even dropping a bit in popularity among many households we're losing customers
bye they released a few more food combinations to encourage consumers to come back to their products
but that tactic did not work as well as they had hoped what really launched them back into
popularity was their launch of lunchable style meals aimed at adults while these adult-oriented
lunchables were eventually removed they continued to come back into popularity with a variety of new
kits including ones that have drinks with them and even lunchable snack packs that are just
snacks and not an actual a blast from the past we forgot about let us know
