Really?

Do you think this place is so hard up for discussion?

To be fair, I hadnt remembered Garfield fruit snacks until now. Those were like the “rich kids” snack food back in my elementary days. Delicious though…

And yes, I did have that rough of a childhood. lol

These were my missed food from yesteryear, Nesquik Taffy bar.

Also Flintstone push pops were a good time.

I actually like these posts. So keep them up!

I vividly remember these… but they were disgusting:

This was good until they changed it:

They probably sitll make this?

image

This stuff was ok…

The phone number you call was better.

Oreo Os! Haha I tried to make these one day by putting crushed Oreos into a bowl with milk. It was horrible.

Yeah I loved the hell out of these.

I will always miss the S’mores bar.

This brought back memories!!!

(the sour apple/“Mean Green Puncher” was the best!)

I remember loving Cheetos Checkers quite a bit…

Best cereal ever. I loved that stuff.

I don’t think many people were into this, but I actually liked Holiday Spice a lot.

Have you tried Cheetos mix ups? It has a checker like piece in it that reminds me of the old checkers.

I had to explain to my 3 year old cousin a while ago that Trix used to actually be shaped like fruit. Kids today are missing out.

No, I haven’t had “mix ups” before. I generally stay away from that kind of food nowadays. …Does it taste like the Cheetos Checkers though?

Also, I was not aware that Trix changed their cereal. So is it just like little balls now?

Here’s another food I used to eat all the time

Okay, this next one is more about the “spokespersons” than the food, but I’m sure you’ll remember them:

Starburst Hard Candy

I fueled my childhood on Push Ups.

Ralston made delicious TMNT cereal too!

I liked the Flinstones pushups, because you could turn them into the Flinstone mobile.

Disgusting:

I was just thinking about Doritos 3D last week. I liked 'em! Never saw that Texas Paprika flavor before though. Must’ve been a regional thing?

Aaaah, Flintstones push-ups were awesome. I remember eating those a ton when I was little.

image

Not really a snack, but wow, this stuff got so much hype when I was a kid. I remember the purple always looked sort of brown, but green was the best.

And there was once a time where you could enjoy the sadness and embarrassment of eating peanut butter out of a jar- ON THE GO! But at the cost of twice the inconvenience because these suckers were impossible to open and even harder to get all the peanut butter out of, which explains why they fizzled out so quickly.

To go along with AJ’s TMNT pies…

image

and though not a snack, but was my favorite breakfast bowl
