11 Awesome Snacks That Will Give 90s Kids All Of The Feels
FIfthmanchester

If you are a 90's baby, like myself, you tend to get a littlenostalgica lot of the time. Well, here are some snack foods that we can all agree need to make a big comeback. While, a lot of them you can still find now in a local grocery store, they just don't seem to have quite the same effect on kids now-a-days than they did on us.

1. DunkAroos

In my opinion, this delicious snack was the very best of my childhood. Although, the "cookie to cream" ratio was a bit lacking in my opinion, which led me to always having a few extra cookies left over due to lack of self-control when dipping these yummy cookies.. But who's complaining? Anyway, if you are interested you can find a recipe on how to make your own homemade DunkAroos on Pinterest!

2. The Wonder Ball

Dun Dun Dun! Mysterious... This was a fun one! A hollow chocolate ball with candy inside? It's like an edible pinata. The best thing was that they had different "themes", if you will, like "Spongebob," "Pokemon," or "Winnie the Pooh."

3. Fruit Stripe Gum (AKA: Zebra Stripe)

This always amazed me as a kid. The gum was actually striped like a crazy colorful zebra and had a sweet and great taste. The taste didn't last long for each piece but it sure was addicting.

4. Lunchables


Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lunchables are still easy to find, even your local 7/11 probably has them, but the OG Lunchables were different. They just were, OKAY!?

5. Cosmic Brownies

Sure, these are still in any supermarket too. But nothing beats the feeling when you were a kid of opening your lunch box and finding one of these babies in there.. Or even better, a Lunchable AND a cosmic brownie, that says "Heaven" for my childhood-self.

6. Push-Up Pops

This was like the iconic dessert of my childhood, it tasted good and it was fun to eat? What is better than that?

7. Fun Dip

Kids these days just don't appreciate the value of a good candy. Fun Dip was so popular when I was a kid, kids everywhere thought it was the greatest thing. Now most kids that I speak to have no idea what I'm talking about.

8. Gushers

Gushers were like the snack that we all had in our lunchboxes as a kid every day, but never got tired of. My only wish is that more came in a pack.

9. Hubba Bubba Bubble Tape

This doesn't even need an explanation.. was there anything cooler than this???

10. Trix Yogurt

This wasn't the craziest of childhood snacks, but the fact that my yogurt sort of had a tye-dye thing going on made it taste a whole lot better.

11. Fruit Roll Ups - Tongue Tattoos

This was like magic to me as a kid. You simply hold the fruit rollup on your tongue and POOF! You have a tattoo and a yummy snack. Like really, you can;t say that this wasn't cool.

Overall, although we have some great snacks now in this day and age, I think we can all agree that nothing will ever compare to the amazing and unique snacks of our childhood.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
