Exploring Weird and Discontinued Snacks

[@judemiles]

there’s nothing more nostalgic than the taste of the burnt pudding with sprinkles in a kid cuisine

[@nicky2stars]

Kid cuisine wasn't even mentioned in the video smh

[@Zerosedits2]

Nice Tetcho pfp

[@adrianibarra8758]

The flavor was like shoe lace aglets

[@RhiannonSmudge]

can't forget the rubbery, tough, and bland brownie or the mac and cheese that tasted like the plastic it was microwaved in! ah the memories

[@lotograves]

oh my gosh so true 😂 i also remember when they made more than just chicken nuggets

[@strawby]

The thing with crush cups is that you can do that with literally any other yogurt cup

[@bryanjk]

Not really. Goes against the TOS.

[@iwaju9227]

except for oui cuz those are packaged in glass decanter things

[@mmmbepis8643]

I 100% agree!!! There's something so calming about them!!

[@Theggmessage]

Same, they're just so comforting tbh

[@Leafpool2]

Those oreo hexagons were actually genuinely so good and i think about them all the time. They did not taste like oreos but they were still chocolatey and as someone who didnt like oreo frosting they were great for me.

[@Asummersdaydreamer14]

Yep, definitely not the same taste as an ordinary Oreo. For a few years, I used to bring these to grade school or sports games instead of proper birthday cupcakes; they traveled well, I am picky about which frosting I actually like, and I could eat them all the time as a snack like Graham crackers.

[@madisongutierrez1923]

Omg yes i feel the exact same i loved them. They were the perfect snack

[@almond3066]

Wish they just sold the good chocolate part of the cookie, it feels like currently they are just thinking of 500 different ways to add even more of the sugary cream and LESS of the cookie now

[@clairemacphee4273]

i. love. the. hexagons.

[@HeyItsSarah30]

I was legit just thinking about these the other day. I’m craving them 🥹 my aunt used to babysit me and she would always get them and I’d always sneak packs from her pantry

[@MightyMurloc]

Thinking back, it's weird that Baby Bottle Pop was a thing. Older Kids to Early Teens were encouraged to dip an impression of a Pacifier into candy sugar and suck it. And in an age where seeming Adult and Mature was THE most important thing on the playground, I don't recall ever thinking it was Infantile or weird. And I don't recall anyone being bullied for enjoying one in public.

[@gracekim1998]

Oh I think i remember that

[@tornadodee148]

maybe it comes from the rave culture of the era?? Like sucking on pacifiers to help with tense jaw after taking MDMA. I also remember disguising yourself as a baby for halloween parties was a big thing cuz of the efficiency of having most things for the costume just laying around the house. like, as long as it was for another purpose than actually enjoying it like a baby would, baby stuff was pretty "in" if I remember.

[@stalesunday]

my 35 year old sister still eats those and i bully her every time. they have one now that is a little plastic toilet filled with sugar powder and you dip a candy plunger in it.

[@rebekahjohnson5940]

I remember thinking they were cool as a kid too. And I mean candy was fun. Weird tangent but I saw a kid who was like 12 who had an rgb pacifier shopping with a sleepover party that were buying snacks. Is that like some kind of trend now?

[@STRING246]

The watermelon flavor was my favorite.

[@Star_sweeper]

The way those Extra dessert flavored gums hit me right in the memories. I used to go through those like crazy in high school.

[@camerannicephore5262]

the sherbert and mint chocolate were my favorites. i would love to have them back!!

[@Luna_V247]

I had a mint chip phase because of the gum

[@animeloveer97]

[@Chadmiral]

I remember trying the strawberry shortcake one,it was alright.

[@thebakednachos]

@@camerannicephore5262 sometimes the walmart near me has a random flavor of them in the candy aisle, never one I like, but I do see them every once and a while lol

Juicy Drop was always advertised on Cartoon Network, and I was honestly surprised to learn it still is being sold

[@pawstoys1386]

Don’t forget when they started advertising the juicy drop gummies and eating it with that sauce or whatever Juicy Drop qualifies as.

[@NightmareBlade10]

​@@zuckertheoctopus3095Definitely. My favorite is the green and brown mint chocolate one, right next to blue raspberry!

[@Grace-vq2cq]

The layered gum was actually super juicy and good! One of the layered candy/snack that was actually good. I would always ask my mom to get me some when she went shopping

[@bebe44144]

me and my mom got those all the time too we both loved that gum!

[@vicquemare]

i miss the green apple/golden pineapple flavor, that was my favorite gum flavor along with that (also discontinued) black 5 gum in the berry flavor.

[@NightmareBlade10]

​@@vicquemareMy favorite was the mango guava one, it was awesome!

[@BugsyFoga]

I can still recognize the taste of yogos, even after it’s been discontinued.

[@somedude172]

same, and i completely forgot they existed until this video lmao. like i could taste it when i heard that name lmfao

[@FTChomp9980]

It had more of a yogurt clump into a shape of a ball but it tasted so smooth!

[@CommanderWiggins]

They had such a strange texture and flavor that I loved the couple of times I had them. They were sweet yet sour, fruity but also yogurty, but not in the way that fruit flavored yogurt is. They were chewy and soft too, not firm like the yogurt coating that's on rasins or nuts sometimes. Someone please make Yogos 2, I'd like to taste them again before I die.

[@ghost-husband]

same!! I want them to come back so badly

[@daydreamies]

anyone else have that fun little yogos dispenser with a keyring?? memories...

[@atlababe]

Yogos was EVERYTHING. What I’d give for those guys to make a comeback. My brothers & I were borderline addicted to them. The closest substitute I’ve found is the Welch’s Fruit & Yogurt snacks

[@biggestastiest]

i haven't had them in over 10 years but my brain can still perfectly replicate their taste

[@animeloveer97]

Bro they are my favorite candy ever I need them so bad it's been literally 15yrs and I'm tourtured by remembering the taste 😢

[@makemesomecoffee7821]

I never even had a Yogo. 2009 kid here. I missed every good thing to happen.

[@Simipourfangirl]

I'm afraid that Welch's fruit and yogurt snacks will be discontinued soon, they are soo hard to find.

[@Crenga]

i will forever think the "food as toys" concept was enriching for us as kids and defend it until the day i die

[@teresitaperegrina3741]

I 100% believe that it enriched me so much, that it led to a joyous career in the food industry for me. Currently a baker since 2017 🤙🏽 playing with food and getting paid for it rocks.

[@Crenga]

@@teresitaperegrina3741 i respect bakers immensely! thank you for making tasty treats. while i can't claim professionalism, the fun foods of my childhood have definitely inspired me to make my partner's work bento boxes as interesting for them as possible. i notched their cucumber slices and fit them together like little gears on their rice once and watched them try to make them turn with chopsticks, and it brought me so much joy. [if you have any recommendations for bite-sized desserts to try, let me know!]

[@rolyat]

Toy snacks walked so mollecular gastronomy could run

[@hummingbirb]

Food is food. Food is not a toy. Conflating the two, including by treating food as rewards, is partly why people are overweight: their relationship with their bodies and with food is muted/twisted.

[@Crenga]

@@hummingbirb your fatphobia, ableism, classism, and racism are showing, my love. not only do food cultures exist, but a majority of weight retention is related to poverty and disability. an excellent example of this are my own people: i'm native american, and many of us are overweight due to the violence of colonialism, including the "passive" violence inflicted by the average settler, such as the creation of food deserts, the racism and ableism we face when attempting to seek healthcare for common illnesses such as insulin resistance, and continued elections of politicians who enforce/do not combat extant laws prohibiting us from engaging in our traditional hunting, gathering, and farming. if you're so afraid of fat people you have to invent the problem of "food rewards" in a world where the majority of people in countries such as the united states report not being able to access enough food to feed their families at least once a year, in which the EBT/SNAP program does not cover pre-prepared food nor offer additional food stamps during long months nor calculate food stamp rewards based on regional food prices but rather the lowest amount of EBT someone can get by using the lowest possible prices, and the majority of schools do not offer free lunches, let alone healthy lunches... brother, you're mad at the wrong people. here's a short list of how YOU can personally combat harmful obesity and the conditions that lead to prolonged obesity: • learn about and advocate for safe, accessible homegrown foods, including free-to-gather community gardens. this also means you must become and environmentalist and care about the air, water, and ground quality, not only locally, but worldwide, to ensure grow conditions are both optimal and safe. you must also learn about the history of settler farming, the introduction of non-native plants and how that has not only created a wide array of health disorders in humans and animals, but killed local resources such as the american chestnut. fight for indigenous peoples' rights to return to their native lands, as many of us are displaced and few reservations are located where our homelands are. fight for our right to foster OUR communities based on sustainable, healthy, clean farming, gathering, and hunting techniques - this goes for all indigenous and aborigine peoples worldwide. • stop being afraid of fat people. stop repeating rhetoric that is not only harmful towards fat people, but further stigmatises and demonises them. do not make thinness the norm. learn about and introduce children, especially, to fat atheletes, artists, actors, and people, to show them there is still a life worth leading even if they gain weight. this will help mitigate many eating disorders that Lead To Obesity, as well as cause health issues that lead to obesity. • learn about the genetic factor. learn about the intersection of disability and weight. learn about insulin resistance, a disease that disproportionately affects intersex people with PCOS, early menopause, and post-partem issues. this is a disease in which you produce the correct amount of insulin (making insulin supplementation useless and potentially dangerous with a risk of insulomas or insulin shock) yet, your insulin reuptake is reduced significantly. you do not use the insulin you produce. you retain continuous weight, experience alternating hypo- and hyperglycemia, can develop ovarian cysts larger than noted in cystic fibrosis, can experience disrupted hormone imbalance beyond just insulin that affects the thyroid, conversion of excess testosterone into estrogen, progesterone reuptake, and sodium reuptake. we're learning many insulin resistant people also experience POTs, tachycardia, ME/CFS, and the activation of autoimmune diseases lying dormant in their DNA. these co-morbidities and their treatments are all also associated with weight gain, weight retention, atrophy, and limited mobility. learn about how ableism, poverty, stigma against fat people, and the health insurance business industry prevent many people from accessing sufficient specialist healthcare, medications, rehab and physical therapy, pain management, mobility aids, home modifications, accommodation at work and unemployment, SSDI and SSI (and what impossible nightmares SSI, especially, is to obtain) and other fixed income welfare options in many countries, food allowances including EBT/SNAP, and the inability to access food unless it can be delivered when disabled, especially when not accommodated and treated for those disabilities. • boycott fast food for two reasons: it is too expensive and it is too unhealthy for no good reason. boycott and protest any and all food products and brands using slave labour, unethical and unsustainable techniques and packaging, and food that is overpriced. this includes almost never buying any chocolate or coffee, which are never harvested ethically on a major scale. you may be able to find local farmers or seedbanks that can help you with this. however, if they aren't native plants to your area, you shouldn't be growing them, anyway. continuously make it clear to food producers and distributors that there are many people in poverty, many disabled people in need of pre-prepared meals, many people with eating disorders or dietary needs, and many people seeking/needing cultural and "ethnic" food that can only access the food they need through overprocessed, overpriced, oversalted, and oversugared food. protest the unnecessary additions of allergens such as sesame products into foods. protest the use of banana-based wax on most mass-market fruits and vegetables. protest supermarkets that create food deserts, and the unsustainable, urban, non-walkable urban architecture and city design that further contribute to that. • learn about food cultures. learn about the long histories of farming, harvesting, hunting, gathering, cooking, and sharing food worldwide. learn about how food is an expression of love, culture, community, heritage, tradition, survival, and our relationship with the earth and all creatures on it. learn how food is a celebration. learn how many people cannot access their cultural food and ingredients, or any food at all, and how that impacts us and our communities, how both beautiful cultural exchange and ugly colonial introductions of foreign and invasive ingredients occur due to this. • advocate for prison reform and abolition, including immigration camps. people held in dangerous, unhealthy, unsanitary, traumatising conditions are also not being fed well. they are not able to live well. all of these conditions impact our bodies, our relationships with food, and will always impact our ability to access food. much drug abuse leads to thyroid conditions. many people gain a lot of weight in prison and suffer from food restrictions, only worsening their resistance to insulin and potentially contributing to triggering co-morbidities or psychiatric disorders. many imprisoned people with autism, ARFID, and other developmental and intellectual disabilities that affect their food consumption are starved, force-fed, and left unaccommodated in prison, leading to weight cycling, insulin resistance, eating disorders, and PTSD. many people on methadone as a treatment for drug addiction experience weight gain and feel tempted to relapse into the drug that kept them underweight by severely reducing their access to food in various ways, because fear of and repulsion towards fat, even healthy fat, is drilled into people from birth. drug use impacts the endocrine system and contributes to co-morbities associated with weight gain and retention. many recovering drug addicts on methadone risk being ejected from their programs by substituting food with alcohol to try and keep their weight down, not realising or not accepting that alcohol is supremely sugary, unhealthy, and also contributes to weight cycling. which leads me to my next point... • advocate for better regulation of ingredients in alcohol, including non-alcoholic mocktails and beers. boycott these products and brands. • challenge your local cigarette sellers in supermarkets, convenience stores, and gas stations. protest cigarette sales. protest unethical, dangerous, and unsustainable tobacco farming. protest nicotine. cigarettes are often used as an appetite suppressant and contribute to weight cycling, activation of underlying medical conditions, and negative impacts on air quality. • listen to fat people. listen to poor people. listen to disabled people. understand, from the perspectives of fat people, what fatness is, how it affects lives, how hostile the modern world is to fat people despite contributing to fatness. understand that this is an intentional, structured part of classism, oppression and subjegation, racism, and colonialism. stop complaining about fat people and start fighting alongside them against the conditions that create people whose weight impacts their health. there's a lot more i could add here, but this is a decent list. hope you actually try to make the world a better place. hope you be the change you want to see. hope you learn to love people. hope you learn to have fun.

The bubble Hershey was based off a popular Japanese Chocolate bar called Aero. Might be a preference thing but I loved the texture.

[@MoodyMickey]

aero was my favorite candy bar for a while during childhood until I discovered coffee crisp and it changed my life. when coffee crisp is not around I settle for the best second option: Kit Kat. Kinder Bueno is way better than all of these but way too expensive for what it is lol.

[@etaoinshrdlu927]

I've tried both; I was hoping the Hershey bubble bar would be an Aero clone, one you could get from a regular store. Nooope. The Hershey chocolate was too greasy-feeling, the bar too flat unlike the Aero bumps, and the air bubbles just let you savor more of that butyric acid vomit Hershey aftertaste. Disappointing.

[@pikitat]

The Hershey's Air Delight and other chocolate bars like it are supposed to be a healthier alternative to a regular chocolate bar. It has something to do with the bubbles increasing the surface area so that when it melts in your mouth, you feel like you're eating more chocolate than you actually are. At least... that's how it works in theory. Whenever I eat one of these chocolate bars, I just feel like I ate a smaller chocolate bar 😭

[@bebe44144]

Reminds me of the concept of those low calorie Halo Top ice creams. They're literally just overly whipped up ice cream so that there's more air and less actual ice cream in the product. I had them once cause they were on sale and they were actually really good tho and I liked the texture, but I wouldn't buy them at full price knowing I'm essentially just being ripped off loll. I guess these kind of products do serve a purpose for anyone who's trying to lose weight but is struggling to eat healthier or whatever.

Or thought were going to be around forever, like trix yogurt. I'm haunted by that yogurt. It's still my white whale. Losing oreo and smorz cereal is the greatest personal loss, though.

I think they might only sell them in Canada, but Aero chocolate bars DO still exist and have the exact same bubbly texture, if you want to re-experience it again.

[@haileybuth9223]

Aero chocolate bar or cadbury bubbly bar! I love them too haha and the cadbury one is my favorite

[@yeoldelurking]

Same here!

[@FTChomp9980]

I eat Aero for that now I love the bubble chocolate it is so airy and has a different texture to.

[@getsouped]

@@haileybuth9223 ill have to see if either are available in the us!! tysm :D

[@miyapapayax]

I hadn't thought about a lot of these discontinued snacks in ages. Most of them I never even tried and didn't care to, but I didn't realize I'd flat out forgotten they existed at all. This whole video, all I could think was "oh, I remember that!" It was quite the nostalgic flashback seeing these commercials again. I do actually miss Yogos though, those were phenomenal

[@Maniac4Bricks]

I remember Goldfish, in their infinite ways of changing the fish-shaped, usually cheese-powdered crackers, they had Goldfish GIANT sandwiches. Not far from the Ritz cracker sandwiches of today which have cheese or peanut butter in the middle. Except these were more bold with their middle flavor, and the standard cracker was shaped like a Goldfish, smile and eyes and all. that being said, I'm still nostalgic for them, don't know when and why they stopped, and wish they would come back. I even met a Goldfish in a costume at the time they had these - twice on the Jersey Shore that summer. And saw the giant Goldfish mobile parked at an A&P. The commercial is still on KZbin, and some sites still claim to have them but out of stock, more like "we barely updated our backlog so our grocery site is now part Wayback Machine". kzbin.info/www/bejne/apqqhaqknamFjsk

[@commandixnostalgia2321]

I still have those in Canada,but they don't taste th same anymore.

[@littlecaseymarie666]

The commercials are vivid in my mind and were epic

[@strawbrryblood]

Oh man I have such a specific memory with yogos, I was getting them during a shopping trip at Publix and the power suddenly went out, we really needed the other stuff in the trip so me and mom were freaking out that we wouldn't be able to check out. They got the registers up before we left so crisis averted, but I remember being so grateful that I was able to have my yogos after thinking I wouldn't get them that day.

[@kaileykrantz]

OMG, I remember being OBSESSED with Hershey’s Air Delight!!

[@ilovewomen1892]

If you can get your hands on it try aero!!! It’s so good man i haven’t had the hersheys air one so might not taste the same but i can say that aero is amazing :)!!

[@Cheemma]

I’m from the UK and Cadbury used to have Pringle shaped chocolate too and it came in different flavours like mint and orange. Unlike the American counterpart, you actually got a full big tube

[@LenkyLad]

there's no bigger outlier here than anything chocolate and pretzel, there was something truly addicting about getting chocolate with bits of salty pretzel in them that the regular chocolate dipped pretzels simply don't add up to. I still wait for the day they bring back the pretzel M&Ms

[@Temmie_gaming]

Grips, Oreo dipsticks, and the nanasco 100cal hexagons were some of my favorites as a kid. This video really brought me back too me being 6-7 in the early 2010s

[@arnantphongsatha7906]

Early 2000's American snacks were unreplicably wicked. I remember being the coolest kid in class for a month whenever my uncle would come home on vacation from the US.

[@SunburstSenshi]

I think I just shed a tear for my childhood memories seeing all these food commercials I remember. I haven’t thought about some of these in so many years, and now that I remember them, I miss them 😢

[@cervidaerae]

Anyone remember the Jello pudding bites? They were weird, but definitely a favorite of mine as a kid. :D Fantastic video btw, I instantly recognized every commercial used 😂

[@nightfire734]

Didn't know I could have this much nostalgia for old snacks. Stride gum I really miss and the Extra Delights Strawberry Shortcake was actually really good.

[@yoongiyuu3086]

i love this video😭 i actually saw trix yogurt in a store the other day and began to think of all my other fav discontinued snacks 😭

[@Portalain0]

Damn I just looked it up and you're right it's back! I may have to grab a pack for nostalgic reasons haha

[@MrMatthias]

The video hasn't even started yet, and I saw "Fruit String Things" in the thumbnail and audibly gasped! I've been trying to remember the name of those for _years_ !! I loved those things!! Thank you so much for this, Dream Jelly!

[@cascabels]

I had so much of the Trident Layers gum with passionfruit flavor it ruined passionfruit for me. And I don’t even think I chewed that much, it was just really strong. Just having a pack in my room would make it smell like passionfruit.

[@humpitywithdumpity]

I love your channel so much. It can sometimes be hard to find genuinely good videos about nostalgia, or simply finding someone who also remembers that old snack that felt like a fever dream as a kid.

[@reubendensmore4648]

Although I'm just as American as you, there was an Australian yogurt brand that has been making rounds on the internet recently that fits into this genre of food. It also happened to be called Yogo. The commercials featured anthropomorphic animals with a gorilla as the main character. The reason it became a meme was because in one ad he screamed like Peppino from Pizza Tower.

[@dinahjane7278]

My favorite "doup" for to yogo berries is the welches fruit n yogurt snacks. They are pretty similar in the nostalgic flavor if thats what you're looking for.

[@elaynadiedinside]

They brought back Trix yogurt snd eating it again after like 10+ years made me the happiest person on earth I swear

[@melvinlovesyou_]

i genuinely love the air bubble chocolate, but i havent had them in such a long time. i just like the airy melt-in-your-mouth textures. its much more fun than just biting a flat ass chocolate bar.

[@gracekim1998]

oh being british, i'll likely never try the stuff you guys have but I LOOOOVE learning about snacks! :)

[@herrforehead]

same

[@ilovewomen1892]

Same here i’m in shock at some of these tho 😭

[@ZeepAtomic]

You got the better chocolates than us here in the States, I can tell you that.

[@MutantGrandpa]

I remember back in fifth grade when trident layers came out, the whole fifth grade class made a whole economy using trident layers gum. It was the best time of my life.

[@Echo_Rin]

I love your videos. We seem to have grown up around the same time, and I relate so much to everything. And with everything that's been going on with a certain other much larger creator, I'm glad to have wholesome, relatable, long form content i don't feel morally obligated to avoid ❤ thank you, Dream!

[@Portalain0]

Oh my god same about both things! Thankfully I don't see her getting into any kind of situation like *you know who* is in though (with Dream Jelly being inherently more likeable and less ...abrasive than *that* creator ever was, looking back on it) lol

[@sick_icarus]

I have distinct memories of doubling up on Yogos and Gripz in my childhood bedroom and thinking they were the best snacks ever.

[@alisonuncouth]

I am 32 years old and still buy gushers for myself monthly 😂❤

[@FTChomp9980]

Gushers are just a feel good nostalgic snack I don't blame u!

[@teresitaperegrina3741]

not sure if you are hispanic, or familiar with the fruit sauce Chamoy. If u are, definitely try gushers covered in chamoy and sprinkled with tajin. 10/10

[@when-do-we-get-a-block-button]

​@@teresitaperegrina3741 im not hispanic but had MANY friends growing up who were, i learned tajin can make anything delicious. i could eat that straight from the container as a kid even 😭😭

[@queenofnyc5584]

Gushers are the only candy that still taste good. I bought a box ate 1 and ended up eating the whole box in a day.

[@biggestastiest]

as you SHOULD

[@a-supernova-girl]

My favorite beverage line from my childhood, Snapple Elements - who died out in the mid-2000s, was reintroduced last year...but absolutely in name only. It wasn't even a case of "I definitely remember liking this more as a kid". I still have the glass bottles of almost every original flavor, and the only ingredients the new versions have in common with the old seems to be water and citric acid. I'm not sure I've ever been so disappointed. I feel like most of the break-ups in my life hurt less.

[@littlecaseymarie666]

Do you remember the juices with cartoon character heads as the kid??

[@ilovemylips]

Those dyed ketchups were something else entirely 💀

[@misa7449]

Honestly the biggest joy of every video if hearing you say thegumbamattress at the end. No other patron. Just them.

[@Rafedreams]

I tried the extra mint choco gum before! It's actually pretty minty and good! 10/10

[@andrewollmann304]

I remember that! It was awesome!

[@ramentestines]

I remember absolutely LOVING Hershey's Air Delight as a kid I knew that it was a regular old chocolate bar but I didn't care, as a kid I LOVED the air effect they added. I don't know why but I loved eating chocolate bubbles back then, it was just very satisfying to kid me

[@herrforehead]

I love your style, and I learn a lot as I am from the UK

[@pastelshadows6437]

This just revived the memory of those stick and dip snacks, with the cracker sticks and usually cheese dip. I haven't thought about them in the past decade but I was addicted to those things and every variety of them as a kid!

[@lindseytooley1471]

I had a nightmare one time about how all of my family turned into goo after eating juicy drop pops and I haven’t been able to eat a juicy drop pop since 😂

[@teresitaperegrina3741]

the gushers commercials genuinely frightened me as a child and i thought my head would turn into a fruit if i ate one

[@Gkvfflowergirl]

Reminding me of the snacks i used to love to eat! I actually really like airy chocolate, those colored kiss chocolates tasted better than like any other color coated chocolate to me, and I was all over layered gum as a kid. Now I want to go out and buy some as my chewing gum at work.

[@icychill105]

Extra should bring back the dessert delights, i miss that mint chocolate chip goodness

[@thepersonwiththepanels5351]

Oh my GOD I swear I am the only person I know personally who remembers Gripz and I am absolutely delighted you mentioned it! Another banger vid!

[@peety0792]

Dream jelly looks like the kind of person that could talk about the insane world of magical girls.

[@coreylineberry8557]

I would be up for that, especially with the different series. There are tons of different variants, with decades of history. I mean, the PreCure series is pretty much anime's Super Sentai or Kamen Rider.

[@space3717]

idk why but snacks always put me in the mood for fishing. im so down to fish right now

[@KatieMarquez97]

I think about Hershey’s kissables no less than 3 times a week OH MY GOD thank you for mentioning them

[@scotlynmummert7636]

Omg those Betty Crocker ads gave me the biggest nostalgia bomb ... I miss being a kid and now I'm crying at 2pm on a Tuesday thanks dream jelly

[@alexpaulk2819]

This just solidifies my theory that the late nineties/early 2000s were way more kid-friendly than now. Companies really weren’t afraid to experiment with making kids’ food fun.

[@tombsofak]

I'm approximately your age based on things you've said and holy cow not just the products but the commercials you're showing from the era are really taking me back.

[@sleepyntired_]

I know it's a small thing in the video, but when you mention rabies, you show an American opossum, and it is EXTREMELY rare for them to get rabies. One of my favorite animals :))

[@awsomekitty1012]

The way Trident Layered gum had a hold on my childhood (despite the flavor of each piece lasting 5 seconds) was INSANE. Asked my mom for it every time I ran out

[@joshmiller3055]

0:22 I absolutely love your videos, the content you make is so nostalgic, funny, and all around interesting. As such, please understand that this is not a criticism of you or the work you produce, rather simply being my attempt to help quell mass marsupial misinformation. Opossums have a body temperature lower than most other North American mammals. Because of this, they have a much higher immunity to many common viruses, including rabies. While an opossum bite (which tends to be a last defense) can be serious, much of the risk stems from external infection.

[@knoblauchbrotbiszumtod1278]

In Germany, we had these novelty lollipops where you could flick the actual lollipop portion into the plastic handle, the Toggo Flick&Licks. They basically looked like a jackknife for elementary schoolers and they were branded after a TV station that aired shows for kids. They were kind of a status symbol among child criminals on the school playground. If you had one of these to spare, you were safe to make some new alliances. We also still have these chocolate pringles, they are actually pretty popular and there are a lot of belgian chocolate varieties of them. And Hubba Bubba on that bubble gum coil is a certified hood classic.

[@playcube4564]

these commercials were a blast from the past, had no idea i would of remembered so many of them

[@squishyrogue69]

Omg I'm so relieved to see that someone else remembers the Hershey's chocolate flavored Bubble Yum. I have a very vivid memory of my mom buying me a pack and then taking me to the playground afterwards, where I proceeded to chew nearly the entire pack because I was so enamored by it. Unfortunately that's the only pack I remember ever chewing, they must've discontinued before I could get another. I just wonder if I'd still like if I were to ever try it again lol

[@GabrielOlivares123]

Your video's always have a nice way of warming my heart with how you remind me with some things in my past that I enjoyed as a kid. Thanks.

[@dianaburn2474]

Ah, it's amazing how many of these products and ads I remember. My mom (and later, I) always packed my lunch for school, and we always made sure to include one snack intended as a dessert or treat. So, I've tried most of these! Most were disappointing, as you said. But man, I LOVED Yogos. I think of the discontinued stuff on this list, those are what I miss most. (dunno if I'd still like them today, though)

[@arkadiakowalczyk4768]

About danimals, we have the same in Poland called "Danonki" but they never advertised them to be crushed - kids just did that by them selves. They were advertised though to make ice-cream out of them they even came with sticks you stick into the yoghurt to make ice-cream and every kid was collecting them

[@squitwart.tetanusbowls]

I FORGOT ABOUT THE BUBBLY HERSHEYS BAR OMFG!! the commercial was so iconic, i remember hearing “Melt With You” on the radio on the way to school one time and damn near losing my shit over the fact that they put the song from the chocolate commercial on the radio. i want to say i did like the candy itself, it was obviously just regular chocolate, but i remember really enjoying the texture 🤷‍♀️

[@whooshwhoosh]

somehow nothing is more nostaligic than old 2000s era snacks. the blue and green sour starburst, lightsaber spoons (not a snack but they came with cereal), citrus cooler gatorade somehow got discontinued, those Altoid fruit sours that came in a tin, id kill to have all those again (Also, GRIPZ are still sold in America if anyones wondering and they are still preem)

[@sketchyskies8531]

Seeing the Danimals crush cup, Yogos, and the Trix yogurt in the thumbnail gave me the hardest nostalgia blast I’ve ever experienced

[@JeanRain17]

I have a very particular memory attached to those smores ritz. My family and I were headed to go visit with extended family. My dad had bought the ritz smores as a little treat to have while were staying there. Us kids got hungry on the drive and asked if we could have some. He said yes and ate some himself. We arrived and he realized we powered through that whole box on the trip. We immediately made a point to go to the nearest store later to purchase some more because we all loved them. I think during that whole trip we powered through like 3-4 boxes

[@Matumama157]

Kellog's Smorez sticks with me to this day as I remember I moved into this small apartment with just my mom when I was like 6 or 7. All we had was two beds and a single bedside table. This box sat on my bedside table next to my silver slim ps2 as I always had like two bowls when I woke up.
