what a true frozen treat staple the ice cream sandwich who as a kid didn't go crazy when their
parents brought home a box of their favorite brand of these delicacies klondike fat boy everyone had
their pick its origins trace all the way back to the late 1800s when new york street vendors began
selling hokey pokey's the very first version of the ice cream sandwich back then it was
merely a humble sandwich made of only ice cream held together by two pieces of paper
and cost only one penny my last penny not going to lie they do sound way more appealing today
than they did back then cookies beat paper hands down over time sponge cake began to be used as
the bread and this evolved to become the good old soft cookies we all know and love today the
possibilities are endless graham crackers chocolate chip cookies waffles you name it
anything can bear your block of ice cream and create this yummy treat it even has its own
dedicated day the national ice cream sandwich day celebrated on august 2nd an iconic treat with an
iconic legacy that's exactly the kind of junk food we all need in our lives feel like salty and sweet
doritos i'm not paying you back for gas or the doritos these chips are literally the definition
of iconic they don't even need to be named just picture a red and blue bag with a triangle label
and you're probably all thinking about the same brand doritos as a fairly new addition to the chip
snacking world doritos is probably one of the most well-known tortilla-based snacks so much
so that doritos launched an ad for the chips without mentioning the name of the brand even
once just one look at the packaging was enough to know exactly what they were talking about
with over 100 different flavors produced over the years there's bound to be a flavor perfect
to satisfy your specific craving in the mood for something ranchish and light the cool ranch
doritos are there looking for something with a little more spice the spicy nacho a cheesy
nostalgic mood the classic nacho cheese is your go-to basically anything you feel like having
you can find it in a doritos bag no matter what the flavor we're just glad they found their way
into our hearts and stomachs anyone mind if i open fragrant doritos in a tiny room oh
cheez-it there are cheez-its in there cheez-its
another cheesy salty and delicious treat has weaseled its way onto this list of iconic junk
foods and it's not really a mystery as to why almost every american probably has a box or two
of cheez-its in their pantries as we speak it's almost inevitable and who can blame us they're
small easy to snack on and overflowing with flavor and they don't leave noticeable orange
dust on your fingers unlike some other cheesy snack brand who shall not be named you know who
you are chester wait i can't touch this cheez-its have been around since the 1920s and the brand has
been owned by four different companies over the years but despite its constant switch in
leadership cheez-its still managed to win over the public's taste buds to become a beloved brand of
salty snacks even if the brand has encountered some bumps in the road over the years like the
time a fight broke out in a home in atlanta over a box of cheez-its or when kellogg's was
sued by the whole grain police because the flour being used wasn't all that whole cheez-its are
undeniably one of the best snacks ever invented for heaven's sake there's even a cheez-its pizza
how can anyone compete with that that's good cheese pizza from pizza hut okay technically i
work at the weird in-store pizza hut yes pizza all by itself is already an iconic dish with mountains
of melted cheese tomato sauce and all the toppings you can think of it's safe to say it's one of the
most referenced meals in our modern times but one chain in particular has stepped up in terms of
liters in the pizza industry and that's pizza hut first created in 1958 when two college students
decided to open a pizza parlor in a small rented building in their hometown in kansas pizza hut
quickly grew and eventually became the largest pizza company in the world with over 14 000
restaurants in 100 different countries pizza what pizza so what makes pizza hut so special
and well iconic well it's gotta be the delicious cheese stuffed crust invented in the 1990s
this not only sprouted several other variations of the stuffed crust like the very controversial
cheeseburger crust and the cheesy bites crust but it changed the way we all thought pizza could be
made they were also early getting in the pan pizza game which they introduced in 1983.
for an iconic cheesy pizza experience pizza hut just might be the best place you can go to
yeah i'd like to order one large person with extra people please m ms oh my god look a bowl of m
m's oh m m's what would we do without your classic talking multi-colored button-shaped chocolates
that have been gracing our screens for years so many iconic spokes candies were introduced to us
like the sardonic red the dim-witted yellow prideful blue alluring miss green
and paranoid orange they all played a crucial role in the advertisements first introduced in
1995. you might also be familiar with the eminem's world store that's situated right in the middle
of times square or the one in las vegas or in shanghai eminem's stores are literally everywhere
okay well six locations to be exact but still party pack of m m's his favorite candy offering so
many varieties from plain chocolate to peanuts to almonds and even the newly released fudge brownie
m ms are easily one of the most loved and practical chocolate snacks on the market the
perfect movie snack period in fact eminem's are so loved that in 1982 they thought that the inclusion
of the chocolate treat in steven spielberg's blockbuster movie e.t wouldn't be such a big deal
so they declined to have them in the film the gig instead went to reese's pieces and it increased
their sales by 300 percent maybe m m's are loved but that exposure certainly wouldn't have hurt
their wallets you think i'm an idiot coca-cola do you really want to live in a world without
coca-cola whether it's on a hot summer day or on a late night soda run the most iconic soft drink
you can get is coca-cola okay so we all know soft drinks aren't exactly good for us coca-cola has
been a part of american daily life and celebration since 1886 over 134 years ago who cares if it's
not the picture of health you see it everywhere on billboards on tv in magazines even in foreign
countries in over 200 countries to be precise the coca-cola logo is said to be recognized by over
94 percent of the world's population and is the second most understood term in the world behind ok
the coca-cola brand is worth 74 billion dollars and represents over 31 of the beverages consumed
around the world this adds up to about 1.7 billion servings per day impressed yet you
might be familiar with a tall large man with a belly full of jelly who goes from house to
house and delivers presents that's right santa claus has been a close friend of the company
since the 1920s and has been appearing in their ads ever since coca-cola has helped
shape santa's image over the years and is even partially responsible for the old man's attire
the red and white suit two icons united you can't beat that now don't give santa that coke is cup
pringles cheddar and barbecue wavy and sour cream and onion equals a three-layer dip stack
more like formed crisps than chips pringles are iconic for more than one reason first off the
packaging either extremely genius or unbelievably evil it was first thought of as a way to minimize
the chips from breaking so they could keep their shape but let's be honest it's not always the most
practical how many times have you found yourself elbow deep in a tube of pringles trying to get
the last few wandering chips probably way too many times but we can't ignore the fact that there is
a certain satisfaction in getting uncracked fully formed saddle-shaped chips almost every time fun
fact about the packaging is that the developer of the tubes frederick bauer even asked for his ashes
to be buried in one a little weird but then again he did create a new iconic way to enjoy snacking
how many pringles flavor stack combinations are there three hundred eighteen thousand
now the shape the distinctive saddle shape of a pringle has a lot of thought behind it and a lot
of science it took a long time and a lot of trial and error to obtain the shape we are all familiar
with today the combination of water potato flakes and corn starch is rolled into a flat potato sheet
cut and shaped under four tons of pressure fried in hot oil coated with seasoning back flipped off
a conveyor belt packed and then delivered to your local grocery store all in perfect stacks
