- That's good.
- Oh yeah.
That's just, oh my god.
That's so nice.
- It's probably pork right?
(upbeat music)
- Today we are trying 90s kids party snacks.
- Let's deep dive into some nostalgia.
- Kids food, when we were growing up,
- Absolutely lit.
- Was the bomb.
You would have like, bowling parties
and they'd bring out these like, cute little party pies.
- I was all about the party bags,
because the party just keeps on rolling after you go home.
- Like, I'm just gonna eat so much
like I used to when I was a kid at those parties.
I'm just gonna like stuff myself until I feel sick.
- Party foods.
- Give it to me.
- Give it to me now.
- Party foods, kids party foods.
(Hip hop music)
- Yes!
- Whoa, bam.
- The OG best thing ever.
- An absolute classic.
- A staple.
- Yeah.
- Of like, parties when I was six or seven.
- I'm such a fan of fairy bread
that I actually do not turn up to a party
without bringing some fairy bread.
- Really?
- That is my thing and people are like--
- Wow
- People are like, bring a plate of something.
I'm like, fairy bread.
So easy, so cheap.
- If you try and make fairy bread on like,
sourdough or wholemeal, get out of here.
- Get out of town.
- Don't even talk to me.
- Controversial opinion...
I have never liked fairy bread.
Even as a child I did not get the hype.
I mean, I get that it's pretty.
I mean, that's fine.
Bye.
- Should we cheers?
- Yeah, okay.
Cheers. - Cheers.
- Mm hm, party in my mouth.
- Like, it's fine.
- It's literally decorated sugar and butter on sugary bread.
- Mm.
- Great amount of butter.
- Mm, yeah, this is great.
- It's exactly how I remember it.
- Compliments to the chef.
- It looks more festive than it tastes.
- I think the key to fairy bread is a lot of butter.
And then you've kind of nailed it.
- I think I could just incorporate this back into my diet.
- It's uniquely Australian, I'll give it that.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Ooh.
- We've got multicolor movie time popcorn.
- I (beep) hated this (beep).
- Yeah, I don't remember being a fan either.
- We've definitely evolved from this.
- Yeah, we've come a long way.
- We're now on the popcorn with the salt and the butter,
like, plain normal color.
- It's like a hot guy with no substance.
Like, it's not...
You try it once and you're like,
that was fun, but not every day.
- Oh no.
Okay, okay, I got this.
The green one will be easier to see.
- Hey, there you go.
- Its sweeter than I remember it being.
- Just tastes sweet.
- Like sweetness.
- I'm just tasting sugar.
- But I love that, yum.
- I don't love it.
- What?
- Ah, Ah.
- This is good popcorn.
- Oh, ah, oh.
- I want my popcorn salty.
- This is cute, but it's like breddo.
It's like the (beep) that's at the bottom of a fish tank.
- This is practically a delicacy.
- So it's got layers.
- Like me.
- It's like that MySpace selfie that
you were really embarrassed about.
That was taken like from this angle
and you're like,
- Raw.
- You know, it's like, we don't talk about her anymore.
- She's forgotten.
- But she was cute.
- Yeah, I'm still here eating it.
(loud gasps of excitement)
- Yeah, yeah, yeah!
- I could smell it,
I was smelling it, I was like (sniffing).
- I smelt the tomato sauce.
- My favorite, absolutely love these.
- Go on Kim, put the Footy Franks in the Microwave.
Crack out some Dippity Bix, we're celebrating.
- I used to love these as a child, but looking at it now,
this looks absolutely feral.
This is feral.
- This is not going in the edit,
but it looks like a dog willy.
(laughing)
- I don't wanna know what's in them.
- Mr. Real Meat.
- Like, it's definitely not okay.
- You still eat these?
- Absolutely, yeah.
I could probably fit this whole one into my mouth now.
But for a kid, it's like, right on the like edge of
whether you can fit it into your mouth at once?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, that awkward stage.
- Should I try and--
- Ah you, you go...
you do what you want to do in terms of like, the bites.
I'm not gonna tell you how too much add it.
Okay, don't...
- I didn't wanna overdo it.
(laughing)
- This is so romantic.
(romantic music)
- Oh God.
- That's good.
- Oh yeah.
That's just, oh my god.
That's so nice.
- It's probably pork, right?
- Let's get an ASMR bite.
As mentally disgusting as this is,
it tastes exactly the way I remember it tasting.
- Yeah.
- And five year old Katie is into this.
- I love you, yes.
- You can do it.
- Ohh.
- I like that it bounced.
- I used to be a reporter.
- No one forced you to do that.
Like, you just did it.
Do ya know what I mean?
- Yep.
- Oh. - Oh.
- No way.
- Oh my god.
- Yes!
- A work of art.
- I never ate these as a kid.
- Me neither.
- Oh my God, cheers.
- Frog in a pond.
- Look at it jiggle.
- I know, I know, I'm loving it.
- Jiggle, jiggle.
- How do you eat this?
- I don't know actually how you eat it.
- Here's what little kid me would do.
Pop...
and eat this.
- Oh my god, wait,
look at the color of that.
Is that meant to do that?
That's like when you have your like hand
in the water for too long.
- Oh, amazing jelly.
- Not bad.
- Good, even.
- Flavorful.
(giggling)
- I don't rate this combination very highly.
It just doesn't seem...
logical to me.
- This is like the best of both worlds.
I dunno what you're talking about.
- It actually goes really well together, the flavor.
You know what it reminds me of?
A Splice ice cream.
- Wow, that's a big call, and you should take it back.
It's a no for me.
- It's a yes for me.
- I just love jelly.
- Oh my God, yum.
- Yes, yes, yes.
- This is an absolute staple
at any Aussie kid's birthday party.
- I would always go for this first at the parties.
- My grandma used to make these.
- Mine too.
- This is a very like, sentimental thing
and like, you make it with copha.
I looked up what it was the other day,
and it's actually just like, coconut oil.
- Oh great.
- Like, hardened coconut oil.
So grandma was ahead of like the health food trend.
- Man, she was trendy.
- Let's go.
(orchestral music and crunching)
- It's better than I remember.
- So good.
- My mum used to make these for me like, all the time.
And I really hate them.
- It's light.
- Its a good texture.
- Refreshing.
- Simultaneously really airy and also dense.
- Oh!
- Like, this is a meal.
- That's good, but...
I'm glad we don't like, have these in supermarkets
or like, cafes now.
- Not a fan, happy to leave that one in the 90s.
- No offense.
- It's good.
- This is superior to everything we've tried so far.
Oh, fairy bread though we can't say that.
Fairy bread's in it's own league.
It's like a separate thing.
- This is timeless.
- This is so good, I rate this very highly.
This one's for you grandma.
(orchestral music)
- Oh.
- This is iconic!
This is every birthday party I ever went to, ever had.
Yes.
- I'm dead, this is like, the ultimate.
- Whoever had the ice cream cake at the party
was like, legend for the rest of the year.
- Popular king.
- Neo-polo-ton.
Is that how you pronounce it?
- Neapolitan, yeah.
- Neapolitan, I don't-
Neapolitano!
- You get three flavors guys.
You get chocolate, strawberry and vanilla, and sprinkles.
Like it's a bargain.
- Childhood birthday parties.
- Timeless.
- On a plate.
- Flawless.
- Get all three favors.
- I always have the flavor separate.
- Really?
- Mm hm.
- Yeah, I think I do as well.
- It's sick, it holds up.
- So good.
- It's like soft serve.
- It tastes like Christmas, ya know?
- Wow.
- This also reminds me a lot of my grandma's house.
Like, the taste is the taste of going to visit Grandma
because she'd always have a tub
of Peters Neapolitan in her freezer.
- Yeah.
- Unless, ya know, yours was like mine and ethnic
and you get tricked sometimes.
Maybe some like frozen pasta sauce or something in it.
- It reminds me of like, being at those parties.
- Yeah.
- Like, running around doing pass the parcel.
- Yeah.
- And then like, absolutely, like, gorging yourself on this.
- I approve.
- Yum.
- I actually need to stop.
- Take her away.
- That was a wild ride.
- Blast from the past.
- Yeah, these foods are pretty nostalgic.
Like, they're very iconic of like, our childhood.
I am glad that some of them we've kind of moved past
and on to like, you know like, nuts and fruit and vegetables
and like, more adulty kind of stuff.
- Like, I would still eat so many of those things today.
- I'm sad, I'm sad it's over already.
- I know, I want more.
- I want more.
Mum, can we stay here for 15 more minutes?
Mama!
- You cannot go past that Peter's ice cream cake.
I think for me that was the, hands down,
best mem of my childhood.
- Do you reckon, if and when you have kids,
that you would put that spread on?
- Not at all.
( laughing)
- No.
- They will have rice crackers and nuts, not salted.
(laughing)
- Maybe some hummus.
(laughing)
- They might be too health conscious these days
to have these, but like, come on, they're kids
let them run around-- - Yeah.
- And eat sugar and all that stuff.
I think they're fine.
- The things that I really still like,
I like the ones with great texture.
Great texture transcends the ages.
That's a quote, for ya yearbook.
Bye
(laughing)
- I for one would love to sort of incorporate
like jelly back into my diet somehow.
- I was really hungry coming into this and I'm already full.
- Yeah, it happens with the taste test,
you don't realize.
- Did you put coconut oil in this.
- [Production Assistant] So it's made with copha.
Which is that weird (beep)
grandma always used to make stuff with.
And I'm pretty sure it's just coconut oil.
- That makes sense 'cause it solidifies.
- [Production Assistant] It's got hair on it.
(laughing)
- Do you want it, do you wanna finish it off.
- I was gonna ask you to throw it again but no,
I think I'll pass on that one.
What am I doing?
R-I-P my career.
I used to be a reporter.
- Just say, writing news articles one minute,
the next minute, throwing wieners in the air.
- That's gonna be a gif, someone's gonna make it, ohh.
