if you grew up in the 90s chances are you have some pretty fond
memories of these snacks from your youth you were my favorite take a trip down
memory lane and enjoy this list of the top 10 snacks that will take you
back to the 90s bite my butterfinger tricks yogurt yogurt is amazing why have
i never tried yogurt you may have been more familiar with its cereal
counterpart but trixx yogurt holds its own as a snack staple
for 90s kids everywhere the gimmick for trixx yogurt was the fact that it had
two different flavors that you could mix and the corresponding colors would swirl
together vanilla yogurt is good but pair it with a blueberry yogurt and
both of them taste even better the commercials for trixx yogurt way
back when made it seem like swirling the two flavors together would hypnotize
your enemies and enter you and your friends into a yogurt-flavored alternate
dimension but what actually happened was much more
anticlimactic the darker of the two colors would
overpower the lighter one causing it to look more like a muddled mess than a fun
spiral of color this looks like barf even so the flavors
would still combine nicely and taste good together
even though the yogurt appeared radioactive in color the mild flavor and
fun colors made it good for lunch time at school
but the street cred you'd get when pulling out a trix yogurt definitely
wouldn't hold a candle to some of the other entries on this list
though the yogurt itself may not have tasted like anything special the
commercials that were shown on saturday mornings have definitely made an
impression that will stick with 90s kids forever
fruit roll-ups do you think we talk about our relationship enough
yeah do we have any fruit roll-ups all the cool kids at the lunch table in
elementary school had these tangy sweet delights
so it's no wonder that they've made their impression on those who grew up in
the era in which they were at the peak of their popularity
if you've never had a fruit roll up before it's pretty hard to describe what
these snack oddities really are sticky fruit-flavored strips that
were rolled onto a waxy paper in a spiral shape
when you unwrapped them they'd have printed patterns on the inside that
would transfer to your tongue if you stuck them there
first sold in 1983 fruit roll-ups originally came in four different
flavors strawberry apricot apple and cherry
since then they've expanded to include flavors such as
strawberry kiwi lemon lime and cola what's cola poison water considering
that last one it's hard to believe that mothers accepted this snack food as a
fruity and nutritious option to put in their kids lunch bags
fruit roll-ups were a unique and fun snack when they were introduced
and created an entirely new genre of snack alongside other fruity
trailblazers fruit roll-ups fruit by the foot and
gushers were all part of this family you kids still eat a lot of sugar sticky
tangy snacks that weren't your average fruit gummies but weren't really
candy either luckily betty crocker still makes fruit roll-ups
so you can pick some up during your next trip to the grocery store
and try them for yourself if you're looking to relive
some of your childhood memories planters cheese balls you know what'll cheer you
up a cheese ball everything about the way the planters
cheese balls were packaged made it a good
snack from the fact that they came in a convenient little can that protected the
contents inside from going stale to the mr peanut pictured on the label who was
adorably unfitting to represent cheese balls as a mascot
you look like mr peanut fans of this snack declare that it's the best cheese
ball available on the market claiming that the cheesy flavor blows utz's
rendition of cheese balls out of the water
luckily you can still find them online the planter's cheese balls are available
on amazon not only in their original flavor
but in white cheddar and nacho flavors as well
they've even added a new blazin hot variation if you're in the mood for
something spicy keep it splashy oh yeah they'll arrive
in bulk too with most flavors selling in packs
of 12. enough to tide you over until the next
time you decide to make an impulsive amazon
purchase better grab them before they're gone
cosmic brownies would go into space finding one of these at the bottom of
your lunchbox was like finding buried treasure
cosmic brownies along with other little debbie snack cakes
made their mark in the 90s as the perfect snacks to share with friends
during picnics or play dates these sweets have a brownie base
sprinkled with multi-colored chocolate chips
wow chocolate with sprinkles my favorite sure they might not have
been anything other than candy coated chocolate but any cosmic brownie
enthusiast will tell you that those chocolate chips make a world of
difference in how they taste chances are you thought these arguably
average brownies were out of this world as a kid
thanks to the way little debbie marketed them but the magic of cosmic brownies
has still managed to persist today eating one now will not only satisfy
your sweet tooth but take you back to the days where
you'd beg your mom to buy a box of these whenever you took a trip to the grocery
store as an attempt to market themselves
little debbie's cosmic cupcake a cream-filled cousin of the brownie we
know and love actually went to space in 2014 as a marketing campaign
houston we have a problem the cupcake was attached to a weather balloon which
was equipped with gopro cameras and a gps system
people anticipated that the cupcake would climb up to 98
000 feet in the air essentially sending it to space
who knew the cosmic marketing ploy would actually grow to live
up to its name butterfinger bbs nobody better lay a finger on my butterfinger
although the og butterfinger bar is still around today nothing will beat
these snack sized bites of chocolate and flaky
peanut butter that were all over the place in the 1990s
whether you ate them simply because you liked butterfinger or because you saw
bart simpson eat them on tv something about making an already tasty
candy bar bite size made it all the more tempting and delicious
the one downside of the butterfinger bbs seemed to be their ridiculously low
melting point you could have a pack of them in your
pocket for just a few minutes and they would be a drippy and chocolatey mess
as soon as you tried to eat one you've got chocolate all over your face like a
child but you're an adult adorable butterfinger discontinued them
in 2006 and the reaction from fans was
overwhelmingly negative the bbs have made countless entries on lists of snack
foods people wished were brought back from the dead
and there was even a petition made by fans of the chocolate snack to resurrect
the butterfinger bbs although the bbs won't be returning
anytime soon you can still get their movie cedar equivalent
butterfinger bites online or in some stores
shark bites who wants a shark each package contained different fruit
flavors that corresponded to the species of shark
if you ate these at the lunch table in the 90s you probably bragged to your
friends about what colors and species you got
especially if you got your hands on the featured special species
the great white sharks are the ones most kids will remember fondly but shark
bites also had special pieces that looked like sharks teeth and could be
placed over your own teeth if you wanted to play around with them before eating
them shark tooth the tigers maybe
the great white sharks didn't last forever though they disappeared along
with the other flavors when betty crocker agreed not to use artificial
colors in their products food coloring the most poisonous
substance known to robots the correspondence of flavors to
different types of sharks made eating shark bites a uniquely educational and
fun experience and the taste of the fruit snacks themselves was different
from similar ones on the market although you can still find them today
if you look hard enough online the flavors and recipe of shark bites
have changed making them a lot different from the
bites you knew and loved in the 1990s string thing
i now present to you super string string thing consisted of thin
spaghetti-like strands of fruit-flavored sticky stuff that was formed into
kid-friendly shapes to eat it you'd have to peel the string
and if you wanted to take full advantage of the occasion
slurp it up like you would with your spaghetti at dinner time
slurp spaghetti this made it super messy and inconvenient to eat
but that would be overshadowed by the fun experience that came with eating it
string thing made it clear that in the 1990s kids snacks placed more of an
emphasis on entertainment value than nutritional
value playing with your food may be considered
taboo now but it's all anyone ever did at the lunch
table in elementary school especially if a string thing was
involved even though they probably weren't healthy
and always got stuck in your teeth the string thing has still managed to wiggle
its way into the hearts of anyone who used to eat it
although some news sources have reported to find dupes of the string thing for
sale online it doesn't seem like there are any that
can be bought from amazon in 2020. 30 years later it's pretty safe to say
that stringy fruit spaghetti is better off remaining a memory than
making a comeback flavor ice freeze pops nothing a
popsicle can't fix whether you ate them at your school's
field day or on a hot afternoon at summer camp
freeze pops remain a fond memory in the mind of anyone who grew up in the 1990s
the composition is super basic but super effective a sugary juicy base that
when frozen makes a refreshingly cold snack to munch on in the summer you
couldn't really get full from eating only freeze pops but
they'd be tasty and cold enough for you to want to pop open more of them anyways
you must have some more they also came in a variety of flavors
orange lemon lime berry punch and strawberry to name a few
no matter which flavor you got though each one tasted really good
a rarity among fruit flavored kids snacks although these frozen delights
were a highlight at any block party in the 1990s
they're still sold nearly everywhere in summertime
proving that keeping it simple is a surefire way to stay in business
deceptively simple yet elegant picking up a box may seem like a good idea
but don't expect any crazy flashbacks to your childhood immediately
the almost magical experience of opening up a neighbor's cooler and seeing it
filled to the brim with ice-cold freeze pops is kind of lost when you have to
freeze them yourself if you're a die-hard fan of these though
it may be worth picking up a box and passing along your childhood experience
to someone who might not have had the pleasure of enjoying one of these before
with huge boxes of these available for sale you can enjoy freeze pops
any time of the year doritos 3d the deepening three
deepening as their name suggests doritos 3ds were puffed
up versions of the original they were triangular in shape and smothered with
cheesy powder giving them a strong flavor that is synonymous with the
doritos brand dear doritos what about just selling
bags full of your dust i could put it on chicken or fish
although everyone seems to remember this game-changing snack food
it didn't last a very long time fans were devastated in the early 2000s when
frito-lay announced that they would be discontinuing these treasured snacks due
to low sales despite the seemingly cult-like
following the doritos 3ds had in their short lifespan the doritos 3ds
gained such notoriety that fans are still trying to get their hands on them
today i need those back if you're really
looking to find these discounted doritos snacks
your best bet is to travel to mexico where they are rumored to still be in
circulation albeit in a queso flavor that may be
less intense for fans of the original you won't have much luck looking online
for the doritos 3ds but you can find fun doritos flavors
like tangy pickle queso or ketchup for ridiculous prices
dunkaroos cowing down on dunkaroos junkaroos were cookies paired with sweet
icing and came in a multitude of flavor combos
vanilla frosting with chocolate cookies or rainbow sprinkle frosting with
chocolate chip cookies to name a couple if your mom was nice enough to pack
dunkaroos in your lunchbox to eat in the middle of a boring day at
school lunch time became a celebration really quickly well brian this is a very
nutritious lunch all the food groups are represented

of cookies and sugary sweet icing quickly became popular among kids

2000s once they reached their peak though it
was only downhill from there production ceased in the united states
in 2012 and in canada in 2018. however
