Which snack do you want back? 🍭🍬🍫🍩🍪

[@figmo397]

Whip n Chill! You showed a picture of it with Jell-O 3-2-1, but you didn't talk about it!

"How could those Boomers eat that disgusting junk?" Millennials and Gen Z ask as they munch on their Tide pods.

[@jonelfilipek7848]

Screaming Yellow Zonkers was my absolute favorite snack of all time. Also loved Jello 1-2-3.

[@gretchenphillips6197]

I can't find anything even remotely similar to the flavor of the Zonkers! I really miss my Zonkers

[@dan797]

I broke a tooth on that. My mother got mad at me because we had to go to the dentist and we were poor.

[@breeinatree4811]

I was hoping that you would have mentioned Bazooka gum. I loved the Bazooka Joe comics that came with it. I made myself sick on butterscotch shake a pudding. I ate all for cups in about an hour. Its only now, 50 years later that i can eat something with butterscotch flavor.

[@tolfan4438]

Thats because bazooka is still around never stoped

[@billgrandone3552]

Your experience with butterscotch reminded me of college days in the 70s. In 1970 my buddies and I got an apartment moving out of the dorm where we were fed two to three times a day depending on the meal plan. Our folks were sure that four guys cooking for themselves would be dead by Christmas so they would send food and other things in the mail . One roomies Dad owned a delicatessen in the Polish area of Chicago. I lived within an hours drive of home so I would make a run for Italian food and Mexican Chili or invite the guys to eat at one of the restaurrants at home. But the father that really came through fr us worked at H.J. Heinz in Pittsburgh.. He would send us foods that Heinz made for schools, rest homes, and other institutions Among the freeze dried chicken nuggets and the drink powder were gallon tubs of chocolate, vanilla, and butterscotch pudding. Well the choclate went fast. The vanilla a little slower, and there was only one of us that liked butterscotch. But at some point that big tub of butterscotch and its newly arrived brother had to be dealt with, and not wanting to waste free food, we other three joined in. Under protest mind you. But free food is free food. To this day I cannot look at butterscotch anything.

Bazooka is available at Dollar General in Florida.

[@BrianRoberson-k7g]

@@tolfan4438 They might mean the soft bazooka. I haven't seen that in years.

[@woodsinme]

Haha! Pretty awesome.

[@Oldeagle66]

They didn't mention the original cracker jacks in the box with the toy inside. Plus, I still buy Chunky every week. They are my special treat😂

[@Hillers62]

At 8:41 ...I loved Quisp! And I always cheered for him when he went against Quake...I last ate a bowl of it in 2002 when it came out in a limited release...

[@lindawolffkashmir2768]

Quisp tastes like original Capn Crunch, but without the shredding of the roof of the mouth when you eat it.

[@samanthab1923]

I was shocked to see it on my shelves of the grocery store when we moved to PA in 94. Hadn’t seen it in 20 years!

[@jasondavidstapleton8337]

i miss planters cheese balls

[@kh0034]

Oh man, I really miss Screaming Yellow Zonkers! They were just the best! Like a sweet, buttery popcorn you wish you knew how to make for yourself now that they aren't available. Love: Twinkies, Fruit Stripe gum, and Ding Dongs. Got a little worried when Twinkies were mentioned, hoping they hadn't been discontinued. But, there was a cookie that I've been missing for years called Pogens. They were ginger cookies that claimed if you placed one in your palm and pressed your finger in the middle and it broke into 3 pieces, your wish would come true😊

[@theoriginalmr.j1422]

Don't Crunch n' Munch.😊

[@veronicaferguson8548]

Any one that says 3 Musketeers is the same as a Milkshake bar is crazy.Milkshake bars were way better.

[@jimwoods3742]

What I wish we could bring back was how cheap all that stuff used to be

[@Graceology101]

Right😢😢😢

[@mikehughes4969]

I remember grabbing a handful of space food sticks, a couple of ding dongs, and a canteen of Kool Aid and going camping in the backyard. You could do that in those days.

[@souricurry]

I miss being able to go to the corner store with a dollar and walking back home with four to six kinds of candy. Now and Laters, Alexander the Grape, Chick o Stix...man it was great.

[@maryhyde1830]

Nabisco or keebler made big pink frosted animal cookies in the 60's/70's that were a favorite of ours when I was a kid

[@scorpiouk5914]

I remember those! Never had them, but saw them on the grocery shelf while shopping with my mom.

[@hamblinhomestead4046]

A few I remember back in the '80's: Mr. T cereal, Croonchie Stars cereal(made by Swedish Chef), Diner-saurs cereal, Nintendo cereal, Sweet 'n Low gum, Pepsi Free(now diet Pepsi), Frookies (cookies made with fruit juice not refined sugar), Product 19 cereal, just to name a few...

[@Music_is_Breathing]

I loved Fruit Stripe Gum!! I wish it was still around :(

[@sonyafox3271]

It still is but, unfortunately doesn’t taste the same!

[@Dorthy-wx9fq]

I remember chewing Hubba Bubba, especially after I got my glasses. I loved the fact that I could blow a bubble and let it pop and not worry about it sticking to the lesees of my glasses. Love from Marysville, California

[@fourthgirl]

My favorite aunt lived in Yuba City for many, many years. My mom and dad met at the colored troops camp in Marysville back in the 40's.

[@maryroberts2099]

I loved the 1 2 3 jello. I thought my mom was magic when she made it

[@MsDisneylandlover]

Lol ❤

[@billgrandone3552]

Well that brought back some memories though I passed adolesence before a lot of them were popular. I was never into Twinkies but Chocolate Cupcakes and Ding Dongs Oh yeah. I'm 74 and still have a Ding Dong from time to time. I miss the Hostess Pies. My favorites were cherry, apple, and lemon. Their substitutes by other brands don't come close to the flavor and the filling of those Hostess Pies. i never tried Screaming Yellow Zonkers but Fiddle Faddle (Shown but not mentioned) was a favorite snack when I was in college. It's buttery caramel flavor was better than Cracker Jack which uses molasses. As for puddings, there again, we seldom had puddings at home . My Dad favored strawberry or raspberry Jello with fruit cocktail suspended in it. My mother would make a double batch and put it in a big covered salad bowl that took up half a shelf in the fridge. But one thing my kids liked in the 80s was Pudding Pops and Fruit Rollups. The one candy bar that I miss is the old Mars bar-chocolate covered soft nougat with a lot ( 6 to 8 ) whole almonds encased in the chocolate.YUM. Love to see a series on the old salty snacks-crackers etc. There is one I remember as a kid that my mother bought and just loved. It was a cracker sandwich of bleu cheese spread between two waffle cut open spaced crackers. As I kid you couldn't give me a bleu cheese anything to eat ,but as I've matured I love all forms of bleu cheese and would like to see if someone remembers them or knows if anyone still makes them or an equivalent.

[@samanthab1923]

Those Hostess pies were the best. My hubby grew up w/Tastee Cake & Lil Debbie ugh

[@jeffmay5493]

Who remembers 1950-60s drink mixes rival of Kool-aide? There was an evelope that mixed with quart of milk made a "Milkshake". Of course Fizzies were good but how about the swizzle stick that had flavor at the end called King Stir. Wyler's also had package flavored mix that made a quart size drink.

[@yossarian6799]

FLAVOR-ADE! That's the stuff the victims of the Jonestown massacre were given.

[@PattyMarshall-l8v]

My nephew went into mourning when they discontinued Marathan bars.

[@samanthab1923]

My brother too! 😢

[@cindystrachan8566]

I miss Whip-n-Chill. It was lovely and light.

[@bubbapacha7672]

Man alive where will I ever find a bag of Doritos lol

[@PattyMarshall-l8v]

They're still available in Florida.

[@maddun1969]

They were called Hostess King Don's in my area, and I loved them along with fruit pies ! Freakies cereal tasted bland, but the plastic figure prizes were cool ! They're going for a lot on ebay these days. My Mom made 123 Jello about one Sunday night a month for a special Family time TV treat ! Thanks for the memories again !

[@VintageLifestyleUSA]

Thanks for watching! 🤍

[@yossarian6799]

They were called King Dons here in PA because "Ding Dong" was too close to their rival "Ring Dings".

[@zvbx]

Did you eat the Freakies from the 70’s or the 80’s?

[@someoneelseentirely3452]

We are the freakies We are the freakies This is our freakies tree We never miss a meal 'Cause we love our cereal... (I can't remember the rest. Help me out!)

[@michaelmccollugh1811]

I'm 50, so I obviously ate a lot of these. One of my favorite snacks is cool ranch Doritos because they remind of the sour cream and onion flavor they sold when I was a kid

[@teresadixon2899]

When my friends and I rode our bikes to the closest store to get snacks, I always bought a box of screaming yellow zonkers. In early 2000s I searched online and bought a small case just before they became unavailable. Recipes I've tried taste more like toffee popcorn which isn't as good.

[@thatjayne]

Does anyone remember Jello’s Spoon Candy? I couldn’t get enough of Screaming Yellow Zonkers 😅

[@robinjohnson5014]

Yes remember prizes in cereal we'd dig in cereal to get the prizes in cereal

[@someoneelseentirely3452]

Big Buddy bubble gum, the original Doo-Dads snack mix, the original Mr Peanut Bar, and Burry cookies. Fudge Town was my favorite and the peanut butter ones.

[@samanthab1923]

Absolutely loved Burry’s cookies. Best chocolate chips. Came in the perfect sleeve size for grab & go after school.

[@samanthab1923]

Btw the peanut butter ones were called Gauchos 😊

[@scorpiouk5914]

I miss Sour Cream & Onion Doritos, Nacho Cheese Cheetos ( Jalapeno Cheese Cheetos tastes exactly like them without the burn), the original Carnation Breakfast Bars & Keebler's Pizzarias.

[@anominous3895]

Sour Cream N Onion Doritos were the bomb! Now it's not even real corn

[@jons.6216]

About the only one mentioned here I didn't know about was Fortune Bubble Bubble Gum, but a quick search shows you can still get it in limited supply! One snack I liked as a kid was Dixies Chicken Crackers, the one shaped like drumsticks! I learned the hard way you don't want to eat too many of them in one sitting! Haha! Very greasy!

[@kevineberhardt4431]

I MISS POP ROCK 🪨. AND CANDY 🍬 CIGARETTES 🚬.

[@figmo397]

You missed Whip n Chill! You showed a picture of it with Jell-O 3-2-1, but you didn't talk about it! I ate most of these as a kid. "Freshen Up" gum came out when I was in HS and was popular in college. People used to call it "cum gum" for obvious reasons. As for "Ice Cubes," they didn't have a cooling effect. The candies were smooth chocolate and hazelnut squares-think "Nutella" but less sweet and with more flavor. My Uncle Pete used to keep a bowl of them on his living room table.

[@janicelarue8459]

I loved the Hossest Ding Dongs wrapped in foil lots of cream filling today's its nothing like it used to be

[@samanthab1923]

Drakes Ring Dings were better

[@cynthiagonzalez7595]

No one mentions Big Hulk bar. Long white taffy with peanuts in it. It took a while to finish it.

[@geeandreid23]

We just went to a candy store in Cleveland Ohio that has these

[@jasongoldman3850]

They still make Hubba Bubba bubble gum.

[@joannplatero3727]

I liked the Butter Nut candy bars! Wish they still had em.

[@wendymarie7151]

I loved fruit stripe gum. Granted, after four chews, the flavor dissipated.

[@hollymiller8226]

Something shook loose in my memory when I saw Quisp. I don’t remember how it tasted, but I sure remember the character.

[@samanthab1923]

Tastes just like Cap’n Crunch

[@rhinox3474]

Twinkies today arent the same before the bankruptcy. They are nasty. I miss jello 123 and gatorgum. People would pay alot of money online for some of these items

[@g.cosper8306]

Totally agree about Twinkies

[@lynnsenger9950]

Sadly, Twinkies of today, taste nothing like they did 30 years ago.

[@gulfgypsy]

Anyone recall 'Chiclets'? Tiny little squares of candy coated gum, they came in a small packets.

[@5avored3]

I remember those!

I miss the Choco Lite bar. Aero bar just can’t compare to it.

Remember Marathon bars???? If you do you probably don’t have any fillings left 😂😂😂

All the Hostess items-pies, Twinkies, and Ding Dongs-are still available today… I miss the original Doritos corn chips, Koogle chocolate peanut butter, the Frosted Dutch Apple Pop Tarts (the non frosted version is still around), and Catnation Breakfast Bats.

[@brendarico715]

Fiddle Faddel

[@donhosmer8159]

Remember Mallow Cups Each package had a card in it with a printed coin When you collected $ 10 worth You could mail them in and receive a box of them sent to you

[@ValleyProud916]

Velamints!

[@GrandCorsair]

My only memory of fruit striped gum is the seconds of pretty good flavor that became unplesant and the tattoo only working 50% of the time. Still nostalgic but not one those snacks that you come back to.

[@robinjohnson5014]

Ring Dings packed inbmy lunch made lunches better

[@GhostKilo36]

I will never forget the 1970s & 1980s snacks. All these brands are imbedded into my synapses. My parents and I use to walk to the Hostess bakery in San Francisco and buy Apple Pies straight from the factory. I will never forget the smell and packing them in my bag before baseball games. Hubba Bubba was my choice for chewing too. Forever 70s / 80s....🥰

[@samanthab1923]

Very cool. And I thought going to the discount Hostess shop was a treat.

[@jenelleprins5306]

When I was a kid, the big field trip as an elementary school kid in 2nd or 3rd grade was the trip to the Wonder bakery in the Washington, D.C. area. Each kid left the bakery factory with a miniature loaf of Wonder bread. Sadly, for these purposes, I spent that year in Hawaii when my father took over the construction of the COMSAT radar on the North Shore of Oahu. ☹️

[@jenelleprins5306]

I never liked the Chunky bars. I just never took to raisins in my chocolate. I also didn’t like Raisinets.

Then you must remember when Ghiradelli sold chocolate in drops sold in cardboard tubes covered in various jewel-tone foil wrappers.

[@laurabailey1054]

Marathon bars are the same as the British chocolate bar Curly Whirly. You can still get Hubba Bubba bubble gum in Canada. Ice Cubes are now called Icy Squares made by Moranz chocolate. In Canada Ding Dongs were called King Dongs. I loved Freshen Up gum! I wish you could still get it. It is hard to find Big Red gum and it was the only one that still had real sugar in it.

[@jeffcarlson3269]

you neglected to mention.. Doritos "Taco Flavored".. Doritos.. which came out within a year or so of the plain corn tortilla chips.. AND the "Taco Flavored".. chips... predated the Nacho Cheese flavored Doritos by close to a year....

[@zvbx]

Freakies were so good (I’m talking about the original Freakies not that crap from the 80’s) I knew as a child Ralston would stop making it because it was too delicious! Best cereal ever! P.S. and Hostess Orange Flavored Ding Dongs….oh my goodness! Yummy!

[@msr1116]

I wanna say Zingers were Twinkies but coated with raspberry jam and coconut. I miss Hostess long discontinued fruit fillings like blueberry and boysenberry, and forgot about Chunky and those wonderfully smooth Ice Cubes.

[@sandiegriffith251]

I loved Quisp

[@dan797]

I remember fizzy’s little effervescent tablets you would put in a glass ice cold water, and lik - M - Aid sour candy powder. It would turn your tongue, purple or red or whatever flavor you were enjoying. I was back in the 60s I believe. What was the name of the candy bar that was rolled in peanuts and the center was caramel?

I hate that Wrigley Gums have changed to only the POISON aspartame !!! Royal Pudding is the same !!
