Classic Foods Of The 1980s!

I could live in the 80’s for a lifetime. The 80’s and 90’s was the best times in my life.

Same..i really had a magical wonderful childhood. My kids have it pretty good but Im constantly comparing myself to my mother n always feel i can never live up to the woman she was. She was really the picture perfect mother. I miss her so much.

[@munchiemunchie2010]

I feel that way about the 70’s , but the 80’s were a fun time.

[@Sick_Boy_Rick74]

I was born in 74 so I grew up in the 80’s and I miss those times. My childhood wasn’t very good and that’s putting it lightly. I tried to forget the 80’s and 70’s for many many years. After years of therapy I can now look back at the good times I did have and enjoy the memories. The best times for me were from 84 to 91. Those were the years that shaped my life. I figured out which genre of music really spoke to me. While I can look back and see there were good times I don’t think I would go through it or live in that era forever. I do miss my friends and loved ones that are no longer here. I’ve lost so many loved ones it seems surreal.

Thank you for posting these walks down memory lane. My kids were born in '84 and '89. I remember grocery shopping and letting them pick out their own box of cereal and one snack. They'd carry their cereal box around until we came to the snack isle. Then the boxes were dropped, thrown in the cart, or given to me to hold while they made very important decisions. When they were older they worked out deals to share with each other. Such fun memories. 🤍

[@marcspardello1254]

A lot of people say that it is just an illusion that our brains are making it seem that way, however, all one has to do is take a closer look. Things were for sure less serious, less dramatic. The shows tackled heavy topics, but in a light-hearted way. I watched Family Ties all day this past Saturday and I was entertained. I didn't need to see a cop show that dealt with a child tranny rapping a student. Our media, our entertainment did this too us. If we rejected it as a culture we would have been better off. It doesn't do much to protect us from the violent people who are getting their kicks watching others be hurt on a "viral" video. The good news is that we have access to shows and movies from yesteryear, and surround our personal lives (literally behind closed doors), that we can feed our minds good stuff.

I loved Tato Skins! Man, the '80s were amazing! It was the best time of my life. I think a lot of these snacks were just victims of the junk food police. Sugar was being blamed for obese toddlers, and it didn't help that a lot of these mothers were parading their obese toddlers on every talk show back then. Today, I'm almost 60 years old, and I still have the occasional junk snack. I think having an old snack takes me way back! Great video!

Christmas 1980 I received a McDonald's calender that had a free item for each month. I had Chicken McNuggets that following February and enjoyed them for years. 1987 McD's launched Shanghai nuggets that came with wooden chopsticks, red sweet & sour, hot mustard and teryaki sauces.

[@RhettyforHistory]

I wonder how big of a hit those Shanghai nuggets were? I don't remember those. Thank you for watching and sharing some more memories!

[@riproar11]

@@RhettyforHistory I can't find the information when they were discontinued, but they launched in 1987. The chopsticks were silly and wasteful to include. They were only available as 9 or 20 nuggets which means spending more $. The hot, spicy mustard may have been too spicy for the average consumer, but I didn't care for how it tasted. The red sweet and sour sauce was that syrupy kind at lower-end Chinese take-out places. Shanghai didn't beat out the traditional sauces so that could be the reason for its discontinuation. McDonald's BBQ sauce is strange, so they need a bold, smoky sauce like Burger King or Chick-Fil-A. If an item doesn't sell enough units, they pull it.

[@RobSchellinger]

I thought I was the only one who remembered the Chinese style McNuggets. I remember the chopsticks, but I didn't know how to use them back then so they were useless. I only had the teriyaki and remember liking them.

I was born in the early 1980s, and I have very good memories of that decade. The snack food from the 80s I'm the most nostalgic for is Quackers. They were essentially the same thing as Goldfish crackers, but they were shaped like ducks instead of fish. Also, at the time, Goldfish were only available in one flavor, while Quackers had several flavors available.

Yes! The Oreo Big Stuff was MASSIVE. Whenever I get in the mood for Oreos, I lament the fact that these no longer exist. I still remember mom packing Capri Suns and Fruit Roll-ups in our lunchboxes. In the 80s, there was a pre-fab ravioli that came in a glass jar that I really liked. The brand was Mama Leone's. There was a frozen dinner that came out called Le Menu. It came on/with a pretty sturdy plastic plate. We had a large stack of those plates that we used for several years as sandwich plates until they eventually started to break from repeated microwaving and washing.

In the later '80s as a teen I remember loving Hydrox cookies. They were like Oreo's, but for some reason, I thought Hydrox tasted much better. I'd crumble them up in a glass of milk and eat them with a spoon. There was also this fast-food chain in California called Skipper's. They primarily served fish, but also had the best chicken strips! In the '80s I remember the "newness" of using a microwave for things like frozen burritos. I also remember salad bars being popular in the late '80s (the Sizzler in California).
