Blast from the past! One bite and you’ll feel like you’re right back in your parents’ station wagon on the way home from T-Ball. Because nostalgia is the best flavor.

Still Going Strong


1. Fruit Gushers

The jury’s still out on whether these taste better eaten one by one, or smushed together into one giant Super Gusher (you know you did it).

 

2. Bugles

Food for thought: Were you really a ‘90s kid if you never put Bugles on the ends of all your fingers?

 

3. Trix Yogurt

Three feet was never enough.

 

6. Chex Mix

You knew you’d found your true BFF if they liked the piece you always skipped. (Rye chips: very polarizing.)

 

7. Fruit Roll-Ups

Between the peel-out shapes and the temporary tongue tattoos, these were everything.

 

8. Pizza Rolls

There was no greater joy than opening the freezer when you got home and finding a box of pizza rolls inside. And let’s be honest — there still isn’t.

 

9. Go-Gurt

The snack that made you realize those spoons were just holding you back.

 

10. French Toast Crunch

Like all the best things from the ‘90s, this snackable cereal made a major comeback in the 2010s.

 

Gone But Not Forgotten

These have gone to the big snack cabinet in the sky, but our friends at Betty Crocker have a DIY copycat version that’s as good as the real thing.

 

12. Squeezeit

Kids today will never know the pure happiness of a Squeezit in their lunchbox. Remember those bottles that had faces? And the color-changing flavors?

 

13. Shark Bites

Tiger stripe shark 4-ever. 

 

Truth: There’s no such thing as too many snacks.
