When thinking about childhood, a lot of things stand out. I think about playing at recess and games like four square, tag, and other random made up ones come to mind. I remember all toys I played with, like Barbies and Webkinz. While these are important parts of my childhood, I think what stands out most was all the awesome snacks and foods I used to eat when I was a kid, some of which aren't even made anymore. Here's a huge list of nostalgic snacks!!
1. Dunkaroos
I'm honestly so sad that these ever disappeared because they were the highlight of my lunch box in elementary school. What's better than dipping cookies into icing? Nothing.
2. Yogos
Even if you didn't even really like yogurt as a kid, these things were still so good.
3. Push Up Pops
Anytime the ice cream truck came around, I was getting one of these. They're so much better than regular popsicles.
4. Wax Bottles
5. Mini Doritos and Cheetos Asteroids
I used to always get these in my Easter basket and I was so excited.
6. Colored Ketchup
The thought of this now is honestly disgusting, but when I was a kid I thought this was the coolest thing ever.
7. Hugs
You knew a birthday party was gonna be good if you saw a cooler full of these things.
8. Cookies & Twix
9. Bug Juice
Every time I went on a road trip with my family and we stopped at a gas station for drinks, I'd get this
10. Kudos Bars
11. Wonder Balls
12. Slush Puppies
Every time I went to the pool as a kid I had to get one of these.
13. Gripz
14. Danimals
I don't know about you, but I drank these like nobody's business.
15. (Real) Trix
If you don't remember Trix actually being shaped like fruits, you're too young for me. And you never had real Trix cereal.
16. Bugles
I think they still make these, but I haven't had them in years. You're lying if you say you never put these on your fingers and pretended you were a witch.
17. Kool-Aid Bursts
They still sell these and I still buy them and I don't care because they're amazing and remind me so much of my childhood. Kool-aid bursts > Kool-aid jammers.
18. Pudding Pops
I don't even like pudding but these things were addicting. I'm pretty sure they got rid of them and I really wanna know why because they were the best.
19. Skittles Gum
20. Juice Bars
One word: amazing.
21. BUBBLE GUM
Everyone, myself included, was obsessed with bubble gum when I was a kid.
22. Breadsticks and Cheese
23. Shaped Ice Cream
Maybe it was just me who ate these and looked for them every year around Christmas, but regardless, I loved them.
24. These things!!!
I don't know what these are called. All I can come up with is "those fruit shaped containers that had straight up candy powder in them." I used to love these.
