90s Food
Is it just me, or was snack food just so much more fun back when we were kids? The ’90s offered up some of the best candy and junky snacks a person could ask for. And, yeah, maybe they weren’t as healthy as some of today’s options, but that didn’t really seem to matter so much back then.
Check out some of these snacks that are definitely going to make you feel totally nostalgic. Thankfully, you can still buy some of these today, but a lot of them are rarely seen on store shelves or have been discontinued all together… major sad face. Which one was your childhood fave? Oh, and who else is starving right now?
Wonder Balls

The theme song for these was totally addicting: “Oh, I wonder, wonder, what’s in a Wonder Ball!”. Don’t act like you’re not singing it to yourself right now. Oh, and these amazing little candies came with a surprise candy inside, plus a sticker. Does it get much better?
Baby Bottle Pop
Source
Another addicting theme song, another amazing candy. Who cared that they were really, really awkward to eat? They were so cute!
Crystal Pepsi
Source
This clear Pepsi was only around for a year before it was unfortunately discontinued. Who agrees they should bring it back?!
Spice Girls Lollipops
Source
I know I’m not the only one who was obsessed with these. I guess they’re technically called Chupa Chups, but I just think of them as Spice Girls lollipops. My friends and I used to fight over who had the most stickers and eat a million of them while watching the Spice Girls Movie. So ’90s.
Gushers
Source
These. Were. Amazing. There are kind of no other words. They were the ultimate lunchbox snack.
Surge
Source
This was the coolest soda you could ever drink. Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to discontinue this?
Tart n Tinys
Source
Delicious little candies that were both sour and kind of sweet. Sadly, you can’t buy them anymore. Why, Wonka, why?!
Dunkaroos
Source
Here’s a question: how come there was always more cookies than frosting? That was so annoying! And who else used to make Dunkaroo sandwiches? These were the best.
Jello Pudding Pops
Source
One of my favorite frozen treats back in the day, these were even better than Fudgesicles and regular ice cream. They were so yummy!
Caramel Apple Pops
Source
As I told one of my best friends, these were my jam back in the day. Seriously, I was obsessed with them. Caramel over a delicious apple lollipop… how could you not love them?
Push Pops
Source
Aw, Push Pops! I’ll be honest, these were kind of annoying to eat, but they were also pretty much the coolest way to eat a lollipop.
Handi Snacks
Source
These were another super delicious lunchbox staple. That ‘real’ cheese couldn’t possibly be healthy, but those things don’t matter when you’re a kid.
Gogurt
Source
Who knew eating yogurt could be so easy when you don’t have to use a spoon! And so… gross. I don’t know about you, but these squeezable yogurts kind of freaked me out. They were pretty good frozen, though.
Squeezeit
Source
Um… best juices ever? I think so. Except for the tops of them – they were so hard to get off.
French Toast Crunch
Source
Cinnamon Toast Crunch is pretty good, but it is NOTHING compared to French Toast Crunch. Nothing. The day these were discontinued was a very sad day. I mean, tiny little mini french toasts? How does it get better than that?
Ouch! Bubble Gum
Source
Like I said, candy in the ’90s just seemed so much more fun. Like gum that looked like fun band-aids.
Ecto Cooler
Source
Okay maybe I lied before… these Hi-C juice boxes might have been the best juices ever. Especially the Ecto-Cooler flavor – slime!
Count Chocula
Source
Another cereal that can never be replaced. Count Chocula had chocolate marshmallows shaped like ghosts. Does anything more really need to be said?
Airheads
Source
Airheads are officially one of the best candies ever. And the Mystery flavor was so much fun!
Bubble Tape
Source
Gum was seriously amazing back in the ’90s. Let’s be honest. This gum had almost no flavor, but it was just so much fun to play with that it didn’t really matter.
Which was your favorite? What did we miss? Tell us in the comments!

A LOT of these things are still around Caramel apple pops, push pops, bubble tape, handi snacks, Gushers, baby bottle pops,(1998, not really 90′s) Go-Gurt (came out in 1999 so not really 90′s), Air heads and Count Chocula is available seasonally ( released in 1973, btw) So yeah…research FAIL!

There are a lot of things on here that kids still eat (airheads,bubble tape, Hi-C, Gogurt, Push-pops, french toast crunch, Caramel Apple Pops, Handi Snacks, and Gushers) (:
Anybody remember pop quiz popcorn? It was different colors like blue green or pink… That was sooo much fun.. And they need to bring slimer hi-c back ASAP

OMG i remeber bubble tape it was the best no flavor gum ever cuz it was so entertaining to unroll and try to cut it with the top and try to rip it too bad they dont sell it
