14 Foods From The '90s That No Longer Exist

The '90s was a great time to be a kid. Growing up, kids had the best toys, TV shows, music and especially food. It's a shame that a lot of the things we had in the '90s are no longer being made, especially foods and drinks like Surge, Dunkaroos or Pepsi Blue. Here are some of my favorite foods and drinks from my childhood that definitely should still be around today.

1. Heinz EZ Squirt Ketchup.


Using ketchup hasn't been the same since '06. This made eating french fries, hamburgers, hotdogs and any other meal 10x more fun. With funky ketchup colors like blue, red, green and even a mystery bottle that could either be purple, orange or teal, eating food just hasn't been the same.

2. 3D/ Mini Doritos.

This, by far, has to be one of the saddest discontinuations ever. Not only did these Doritos come in these cool travel bottles, but they were probably the most fun foods we '90s kids got to eat as a child.

3. The Bubble Beeper.

Despite all of the controversy over this favored gum, the Bubble Beeper was modeled after the infamous beeper or pager that doctors, lawyers and many other professionals commonly wore around their waists. Theses sticks of gum, wrapped in a variety of neon colors, made every kid feel like a working professional.

4. Altoids Mango Sours.

These were the tangy treats that every kid loved to suck on as they puckered their lips with the rush of sour flavors running through their taste buds. These were the OG Altoids that also came in four other flavors: tangerine, raspberry, lime and apple.

5. Cinnamon Tic Tacs.


Not to be confused with the "Cinnamon Spice Tic Tacs," these "1 1/2-calorie" candies were one of the original flavors of Tic Tacs.

6. Crystal Pepsi.


Ah, the transparent Pepsi that had everyone in the world going crazy. Discontinued in '93 and reintroduced in 2015, this drink tasted exactly like Pepsi except for the fact that you could see right through the bottle. Still one of the most favored drinks of the '90s, people have been petitioning to bring it back into production for years, but so far, no plans have been made to bring the drink back.

7. Sqeezit's.


Originally introduced in the '80s, these kids drinks got its whacky name because you actually had to squeeze the bottles for the juice to come out. When you have sugary, fruity drinks with animated characters on the front with flavors like Chucklin' Cherry and Grumpy Grape, who wouldn't want to drink something like that?

8. Wonderballs.

I think I can speak for everyone when I say that this was probably the best candy and chocolate mix on the market in the '90s. With a surprise in every ball, what kid wouldn't want to eat these?

9. Kudos Bars.

What was supposed to be a milk chocolate cereal bar, was actually just a sugar-filled, rice krispy-like candy bar. This delicious treat usually came in a variety pack of three flavors: Dove milk chocolate, M&M and Snickers.

10. Butterfinger BB's.

These were the bite-sized peanut butter crunchy candies that everyone went crazy over. These were the smaller version of the bigger Butterfinger candy bar that was discontinued in '06 but brought back as Butterfinger Mini Bites in '09. Despite their attempt to bring back the iconic snack, they will never be the same as the original BB's.

11. The original Berry Berry Kix and Trix Cereal.

This is where today's kids are truly robbed of a childhood. They never knew the real Trix or Berry Berry Kix cereals for what they used to be. These breakfast treats actually used to come in the shape of fruits like grapes, watermelons, bananas and even oranges. Berry Berry Kix would also turn your milk purple and Trix would turn your cereal a delicious turquoise.

12. Sprite Remix.

These fruity drinks would add a twist to your favorite citrus-infused sodas. The Berryclear and Aruba Jam were discontinued '04 and '05, but the Tropical Sprite Remix was actually reintroduced in the last year and was available for purchase in select states and stores.

13. Sprinkle Spangles.

A crunchy corn cereal mixed with sprinkles was one of the most awesome things you could ever eat for breakfast.

14. Oreo O's.

Introduced in '97 and discontinued in '07, this breakfast cereal was probably the closest thing you ever got to eating cookies in the morning.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
