12 Things You Loved As A Kid

Some of our best memories come from our childhoods. For me, food has always been a place where family and friends were involved, and it was what conversation took place around. Reminiscing on some of my favorite childhood snacks brings back good memories, and I hope it does for you too. However, if you did not have one of the foods listed below, I seriously doubt you had as good of a childhood as I did.

1. Uncrustables

Don't tell me you secretly peeled off the crust at school when your mom packed you a regular sandwich. This was always the PB & J you were looking for in your lunchbox.

2. Kool-Aid

Kool-Aid was one of the best drinks because of the twisty top. I bet you gulped this drink down faster than any other drink.

3. Fruit Roll-Ups

You probably got in trouble for playing with these at school. But hey, it's hard to finish your lunch when you're too busy putting tattoos on your tongue.

4. Gushers

This was the snack that was so good, you didn't want to share a single one of them to anyone. When you ate these, I'm sure you slurped out the center first.

5. Push-Up

The best portable popsicle of all times. All you had to do was keep pushing until there was no more ice-cream and the plastic pusher fell out the top.

6. Sunny D


Nothing made your mornings sunnier than this drink. This definitely made your day a little bit brighter.

7. Happy Meal

I know you remember ordering these as a kid. Let's be real: the only reason you ordered the happy meal was for the toy.

8. GoGurt


Frozen or not, these brain buster GoGurts gave you and your friends way too much fun at lunch. Then the rest of lunch you would reminisce on your favorite Spongebob episode.

9. Lunchables

You were just hoping that your mom would forget to pack your lunch, so she could give you one of these. Dessert was always eaten first.

10. Hubba Bubba Ouch!

No, you didn't get a scrape or hurt yourself. These weren't band-aids, but the best tasting gum in the whole world. The container was always saved to put your favorite knick-knacks in.

11. Capri Sun


I'm sure the Capri Sun was what you had with every meal. This was your on-the-go drink and after you finished it, you would ask for another one.

12. Birthday Bash Cups

I know that during at least one of your childhood birthdays you had these to give out. Birthday bash cups always go great with some birthday cake!


If you remember eating these as a kid then you had one heck of a childhood. If you don't, then you need to go to the nearest WalMart or Kroger immediately! Next time you eat one of these, appreciate the life you once had as a young kid.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
