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]

[@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...

[@marvelousmrsmads2915]

[@everythingz888]

Agreed!

[@sheshellz7992]

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

[@Theggmessage]

Same, they're just so comforting tbh

[@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.

[@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

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

[@artil6790]

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

Those candies were a gateway to obesity, without parental moderation I only can see it coming back with warning labels similar to cigarettes packaging.

[@TranCeFORM3R]

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@JUSTFlavaTown]

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

[@LeoMkII]

Tried the Cadbury one a handful of times, pretty nice chocolate

[@MoodyMickey]

I remember loving aero bars, and the texture was definitely what made me love them so much

[@tornadodee148]

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.

[@WillBBoned]

yogurt sodas are actually quite popular and available in asian countries. find a thai or japanese market near you and you'll have a nice selection!

[@camerannicephore5262]

oh my gosh they were so good!

[@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.

[@animeloveer97]

No it's not healthier 😂 it's just literally less chocolate

[@nachoslanderer]

I was so in denial that lunchables didn't taste that good, after begging my parents to buy them for me! Stacking is cool :(

[@sexygirlmax2019]

those stacks were very good if theyre room temp and maybe with a TINY dot of regular full fat mayo. the pizzas had to be heated. the others are mid. the nachos also have to be heated up

[@citonita2207]

I love how my reaction to finding out a nostalgic snack was discontinued is "what? NOOO!" even though I didn't notice it was gone and haven't thought about it in 500 years. My family didn't regularly buy these snacks so they're iconic only in advertising, yet I'm still filled with lust for all the snacks I never got to try. 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. Those were definitely staples I would keep around. That crusty Oreo O flavor, man. It was good. I remember realizing after a while that smorz was starting to taste bad, but I still miss it anyway

Oreo O's is still a thing here, I hadn't heard of it before so thought it was a new product when I saw it in store. Have tried it and the Oreo part is fairly similar to the biscuits but the white bits are kind of odd

[@Kairi98503]

I remember stackers were actually slightly thicker then fruit roll up and tasted strange. Like the orange ones were apricot & it was the first time I became conscious of artificial flavors. Because I recalled it tasting like apricot flavored plastic with a bitter aftertaste that clung to the back of my mouth. I don't remember the other flavors, but that's probably because they were alright & therefore forgettable.

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

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

[@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

[@JackieRompana]

Yay! Another Dream Jelly documentary :) Always a good and nostalgic time

[@jomon324]

Disney's Gargoyles popsicles with the Pop Rocks in them: now THOSE were awesome. I can still remember the cold feeling combined with the crackling of the Pop Rocks, plus the smooth sherbet flavor of the ice.

[@Tom47936]

I have a strange and genuine appreciation for your videos and especially the very specific topics you pick.

[@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.

[@z0mborg8]

I think this is the first time I've ever seen String Things acknowledged as having existed. Those were the "you got a good grade on your 3rd grade homework" treats my mom gave me and my sister so they're ultra-nostalgic.

[@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

[@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 :)!!

[@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 😢

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@geokowalski314]

I loved seeing all the commercials. Brings back memories of being advertised to as a child :'-)

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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 😂

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@elaynadiedinside]

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

[@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

[@ilovemylips]

Those dyed ketchups were something else entirely 💀

[@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.

[@herrforehead]

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

[@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??

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@maskedsentai2003]

I remember eating danimals in the school's cafeteria also 3:39 I remember seeing that commercial as a kid

[@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.

[@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.

[@icychill105]

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

[@Saintnick90]

String Thing ruled. It was fun pulling it off the wax board in different patterns, and it actually tasted pretty good too. I wish it was brought back. Trix Yogurt was pretty fun too. It made me think I was eating healthy because it was yogurt and (allegedly) fruit. I also liked mixing the colors.

[@KatieMarquez97]

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

[@misa7449]

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

[@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 :))

[@playcube4564]

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

[@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.

[@ephemeralstardom]

i really like listening to and watching your videos on the most random stuff, presented in such a smart and interesting way.

[@hibodhi]

My family were obsessed with Yogos, I just wanted the Walmart branded smiles fruit snacks.

[@sunnybloom7272]

I miss those ritz s’mores like no one even knows I want it back so bad

[@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 🤷‍♀️

[@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)

[@YuffieOW2]

i always get 13:27 its so good and theres always a different pattern even though theres like 3(?) flavors, glad that theyre mentioned

[@spvvky]

I would sacrifice a human being to get my hands on one box of Sprinkle Spangles cereal.

[@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.

[@jennyholiday88]

i adore the flow of your videos script. it's so smooth and pleasant

[@machinegunlament]

This is your best video yet, mainly due to the amazing works of art that your stock photo edits are.

[@space3717]

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