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!
Love the ’90s? Check out our favorite ’90s cartoons!
90s Food
In Norway we still have surge!!! But its called Urge !!!!!!
Actually, the first Wonderballs on the market came with tiny toys inside. Too bad they were deemed a choking hazard, but understandable. My kids loved collecting those instead of getting more candy inside candy!
ya, toothpaste that turned into bubblegum…weird.
what about Kablooeys or Sour Saucers
French toast crunch. Just seeing it put that sweet taste in my mouth!! :’(
The still make count chocula…..and bubble tape and airheads….and a few other things I saw on here ??
I use to always have the ouch bubble gum or the bubble tape, i still get dunkaroos and the gushers i miss all of the candy though :/ lol
WHERE DO YOU GET DUNKAROOS i want some real bad
O.M.G! I remember munching on most of these things. The Squeeze 100% juices? My cousins and I used to drink those ALL the time!
-TrendyNerdLuvMB Out! 8^D
I forgotten what they were called but they were juices that were in the little plastic barrels… hmmm… wait!… were those even made in the 90′s???
Oh my gosh! I completely forgot about wonder balls, I use to be addicted to those. The Disney ones were always my favorite
I still love Hi-C with a passion. I wish I could still drink it, but I developed an allergy to all the dyes in it
Where are you from? Here in Canada we’ve still got plenty of French Toast Crunch
If you’re dying for a taste of the Ouch! gum, 5 makes a close comparison. I forget the name, but the packaging has pink on it. IT’s NOT bubblegum, it’s something else. I loved that ouch gum. Haha who else believed that if you swallowed gum it would stay in your system for seven years? I miss the good old days… =] AND HOW COULD YOU FORGET the flip flops that had like three inch foam platforms for the soles?
FunDip
Fruit Stripe Gum
Warheads
Pushpops
Fruit stripe still exists
Wow! I remember eating some of these most of the times! (Good snacking memories! 8^D Yum!)
Happy St. P-Day! (I actually forgot to wear green.. Crazy Right!?)
I was still lucky though! Good Day! 8^D
-Much Luck! $$$
i totally sang the wonder ball song when i read it but i barely remember the commercial. my mom would let me get one every time we went to the store. i still have my little thumper and i’m pretty sure it still smells funky… i miss wonder balls so much >.<
WONDER BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
What about warheads!! I loved them! Looking at these make me want to take a trip back in time!
I remember gum that comes in a toothpaste tube. That was yummy too!
