7 Snacks We LIVED On As Kids That Our Adult Bodies Just Can't Stomach Anymore

In This Article:

Growing up stinks. Adulting has led me to discover the hard truth: that rainbow-colored fruit snacks aren't what an adult body needs to be fueled with. Although this is true, I will still sit here and reminisce of the good old days when my lunches were filled with foods that could double as temporary tattoos.

1. Fruit Roll-Ups

Honestly, if you did not have a tattoo on your tongue after lunch you were doing it wrong.

2. Smucker's Uncrustables Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches

Pre-made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches without the crust, what more could a 9-year-old want? Perfectly peanut buttered on the outside with jelly on the inside. It was like heaven in bread.

3. Go-Gurt

Am I the only one who threw these in the freezer to turn them into delicious frozen yogurt desserts? A frozen Go-Gurt was THE BEST WAY to start and end the perfect summer day.

4. Kid Cuisine

Hands down the best meals ever. It had corn in it, so it must be healthy, right?

5. Pringles

Pringles were the most addicting snacks, and I could easily eat an entire container in one sitting. The convenience of having a can of Pringles and not worrying about squishing them in your backpack made life so much easier.

6. Pop-Tarts

My Pop-Tarts obsession was far from healthy. There was no bad flavor, and they made the most delicious breakfast meal to start your day with.

7. Fruit Gushers

Gushers were basically like candy, but you got to include them in your lunch as a food group. Nothing was better than opening up a pack of Gushers and discovering that it was mainly filled with reds and blues.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
