the last ride into a nostalgic past food's incredible superpower is that it can take
you back in time wanna travel back to a world that included recess here are 10 nostalgic food items
from your childhood i'm gonna cry man french toast crunch more french toast you know what
they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day this delectable breakfast takes all the
goodness of french toast and makes it convenient no more toiling in the kitchen for hours to make
a meal that will be scarfed down in 5 minutes you don't want to wake up any earlier than necessary
on a school day all breakfast time should be eating time not cooking time this is why cereal
has become the perfect breakfast solution and this cereal is hard to beat we don't know how they did
it but somehow cereal form is the best version of french toast i'm better than you even though warm
soft french toast is always delicious those crunchy bits around the edges were
always the best part you won't have to worry about the cereal being burnt though by eating
your french toast in cereal form you know you'll be getting all the crispy with none of the char
save those grill marks for your steaks want to know the best part about this cereal
chugging the bowl of sweet cinnamon infused milk at the end of course there is no childhood memory
so distinct as slurping up sugary milk at the end of a delicious bowl of cereal dunkaroose
any dunkaroos you see are literally from the 90s stand aside girl scouts there's another boss in
the pantry and he can totally out hop you didn't you ever wish you could take a cake to school
well dunkaroos are the next best thing the concept seems too simple to be earth-shattering
but unless you've had them you can't even imagine the joy they can bring to lunch period this snack
consisted of little kangaroo shaped cookies with a pot of icing on the side for dipping
it's hard to say whether the chocolate or the rainbow sprinkle icing was the best but you knew
that if you got the plain vanilla you probably did something to deserve it maybe you forgot
to make your bed again the plain vanilla ones were hidden in the cupboard and only brought out on not
so special occasions it's boring dunkeroos were a surefire way to make friends too who could say no
to a freshly dipped piece of cookie especially if they only had a lame apple for a snack
without one of these bad boys during luncheon you knew you could be the most popular kid for
the day if you wanted if you weren't in the mood to share you can also just hide in the corner of
the playground and eat every single last one by yourself sure sharing is nice but it's not always
necessary especially when there are cookies and icing on the line sometimes the creepy kid lurking
in the shadows is the best kid to be ritz crackers and cheese you want some cheese and crackers buddy
when you think about being an adult one thing you might think of is parties with crackers and cheese
so it should be no surprise that kids who wanted to be mature beyond their years latched onto this
sophisticated snack it was delicious and cheesy oh yeah and adulty it was hard not to feel like you
were on the titanic with your stylish red spreader and cup full of non-refrigerated cheese though you
certainly could share this one you didn't want to and you usually didn't have to either which
was the best part this was the kind of snack that was cool to have but wasn't as in demand in the
cherosphere all right it's all for me most kids would flock to the dessert snacks and leave you
alone with your crackers and cheese no complaints about that if you happen to get one of these plus
a dessert snack it was an automatic popularity point obviously one measly point isn't going
to get you the crown on your first day but it certainly didn't hurt savory snacks were cool
but they were definitely a step down from desserts unless they were an extra special cheese yes the
playground rules are a little harsh sometimes but it's better than total chaos right push pops
i'm too old for this if hard candy is your thing but you just wish it could last a little longer
you're gonna love this next childhood memory push pops this candy stick seemed so big you'll never
finish the whole thing at recess so it comes in a convenient tube with a lid that way you can
save it for lunch and maybe even still have some left for after school unfortunately the people who
designed it failed to remember that kids like candy and it's really not that big so if you
want to eat it to last until lunch you probably shouldn't start it until lunch it's too small
this candy is more of a weekend candy anyways though it's meant for a summer day in the park
with your friends you can all go to the store and each pick out your favorite one part of the glory
of this treat is it's almost exclusively enjoyed by kids the adults of the world can take their
judgment and worthers and feel mature in the corner if you don't like blue raspberry anymore
that's your problem we'll be over here sticking our blue tongues out at you and enjoying the free
wi-fi lunchables is where lunchables live mom when it comes to childhood favorites it's hard
to get more iconic than lunchables it's like a tv dinner for lunch but somehow it's just
so much cooler and by cooler we mean it's actually cold well you can heat it up if you want to but
eating it cold is playground tradition lunchables is the lunch where versatility reigns supreme
you could have classic crackers and cheese or you could switch it up and have pizza or a hot dog
these switch-ups were not only fun but they let you eat things you never thought were possible at
school before lunchables came along yes you might have had cold pizza before but usually it's eaten
with previously melted cheese these lunches were designed to be eaten cold through and through
and that was an iconic experience all on its own it was awesome this lunch is so
fun because it's basically a choose your own adventure kind of meal kids could make adult
decisions about how they would eat the spread in front of them you could eat everything together
or eat each part individually you can also move things around and eat them in a different order
does the flavor change if you have a cracker meat and cheese versus a cracker cheese and
meat or is it all the same no matter how you eat it this experimentation is how chefs are made
p.s the correct answer is yes the flavor does change true lunchable connoisseurs and culinary
artists should know gushers i loaded the pantry up with gushers saw that this candy masquerading
as a fruit snack was the ultimate mysterio of the playground they were an outlandishly popular snack
but the only way you could get them was by convincing an adult they were healthy
and gushers were totally happy to play this game right along with you they were disguised as a
fruit-based snack for this very reason unknowing adults accidentally purchased this candy thinking
they were little fruit snacks filled with nutritional fruit juice as long as everyone
kept their lips sealed everyone was happy while you couldn't fully seal your lips you'd have to
open them for long enough to pop another gusher in your mouth it's complicated if this trick worked
you were so happy because not only were they little sweet gummy treats but they were treats
that exploded in your mouth though you might not think that mixing chewy and liquid would work once
you've tried it there's no going back the juicy center the part that was advertised as healthy was
actually the best part and no other snack has ever figured this out if someone had gushers regularly
you knew you had to be their friend if you wanted in on the action ritz bit sandwiches
it's hard to imagine a childhood without ritz bits whether you had your own or not you were
sure to come across this glorious snack at some point and the memory will live on forever ritz bit
sandwiches came in many flavors but the classics were most definitely
cheese and peanut butter cheese for the savory fans and peanut butter for the sweet enthusiasts
peanut butter's a little more risque than it was before though so the cheese version has
definitely become the dominant ritz bit sandwich over time if you plan on sharing and nobody will
blame you if you don't want to these bite-sized snacks are perhaps the most perfect of perfect
snack foods one of the best of the best they are simple practical and virtually mess-free
so what more could you want in a snack food yes the box could be larger but you could always just
buy two if you're looking to stock your next party with snacks but want to do more than the classic
chips and cheetos look no further than ritz bits yes goldfish can be fun but
everyone still eats those and remembers how much they love them when you put a bowl of
ritz-bit sandwiches out at your next party the only challenge will be keeping it full
fun dip where's lloyd with how fun dip this nostalgic treat is so much fun how can you tell
because they named it fun they wouldn't be allowed to name it fun if it was boring if you're looking
for a super sweet treat that's basically a vessel for eating a bunch of sugar this is exactly what
you want it's a candy stick used to eat candy and it's what children's dreams are made of
the sugary powder is like pixie stix but the presentation solves pixie stix's problem the
open packaging means you can't accidentally melt the sugar on the top and block off the sugar sores
of course there are fun flavors and colors to choose from but they don't really matter
whatever there are multiple options and they're all variations on yummy usually each pack has
a couple of different flavors too so you can go back and forth or eat one at a time
they also have sour flavors if you're feeling brave and adventurous the only sad thing about
it is you'll never manage to get all the sugar out of the bag the stick will shove it all into
the bottom corners and the only way to get at it would be to completely destroy the package so
you can lick out the interior this has never been done by any human child ever wink wink nudge nudge
bubble tape that's not even a real ruler that's bubble tape bubble gum has always had a problem
there is no ideal size for everyone the little pieces fit in every mouth but you won't be able
to make a sizeable bubble the large pieces are great for bubbling but horrible for small mouths
obviously you can't cut your gum in half like an oddball this problem was so rampant it sent
many gum companies down the road of creating safe sizes while chewers were forced to try and double
up whenever they could it took someone as talented as mr wrigley to develop the best solution
hubba bubba bubble tape now you could get your bubble gum in a six foot long tape instead of in
individually wrapped packages we need to change we need innovation it's the perfect gum format
for all your bubble blowing needs now before you get carried away having too much fun remember you
still have one choice to make which flavor is the best cotton candy tangy tropical cola party or
maybe just the awesome original no matter which you pick you're sure to be transported back in
time to the playgrounds of your childhood with miss frizzle reminding you not to go upside down
on the monkey bars while chewing gum this warning actually worked though because you knew the threat
of your gum going for an adventure through your digestive system was real fruit by the foot he
thought it was a fruit by the foot that had gone bad if you thought bubble gum tape was sweet you
definitely found fruit by the foot cool too long pieces just make food more fun and it's also kind
of the best when your snack is almost as tall as you are fruit by the foot was truly ahead of its
time it was designed to be a tick-tock challenge before social media even existed the challenge
was to unwrap the whole thing put the tip of it in your mouth clasp your hands behind your back
and erase to see who could get the entire thing in your mouth first that sounds awesome seriously did
they also invent tik tok or something geniuses the brilliance of this game was that anyone could win
it was a skill all on its own equalizing younger and older siblings and even adults
actually usually adults borderline sucked at this game which was proof that passion and drive can
outperform experience any day the best part about playing was that you still got an awesome prize
no matter who won or lost you just ate three whole feet of fruit by the foot show us some
