I Tried Discontinued Forgotten Childhood Snacks

[@ashleyburns95]

Fruitopia is massive in Canada. Maybe less so in recent years but it’s still available as a fountain drink option in a lot of fast food places

[@Dimplez271]

They have so many bussin flavours too. Strawberry kiwi and what’s that bluish container one? Cranberries and blueberries or something? When it goes on “sale” I stock up.

[@allysmootwinters8613]

Imagining an adult offer me gum only to pull out Hubba Bubba bubble jug made me actually laugh out loud.

[@erik7647]

I'm not gonna lie, usually if I'm offering someone gum it's grape hubba bubba bubble tape. It's just so good I love it, easily can slam a roll in a day even though I'm a grown man. But my friends definitely burst out laughing confused that the product still exists when I'm drunk at the club pulling out a long strip of that shit and going ham, asking if they want some. I would go for the jug but that seems too messy to whip out on the dance floor at 2am ya know?

[@calmjenn]

I loved the shrek green ketchup. I think at one point they also had squiggly Cheeto puffs that also turned your mouth green for shrek 😂

[@erinmclaughlin8645]

Yessss! 😭😭

[@maris2458]

Fruitopia Is probably the biggest "juice" drink in Canada. We have at least four flavours to buy from at the grocery store and also an option at most drive-thru's where you can get the red (the one you had in the video) or orange flavour.

[@jamiegdubois]

7:45 Here’s a little history lesson on the Wonderball (because I had just recently looked all this stuff up when I saw Wonderballs at a store the other day for the first time in years): From what I found out, in the mid-90s, when Nestlé first released the Wonderball, they did have actual plastic toys in them like the Kinder Eggs they sell in Europe (although at this point they were called “Magic Balls”, instead of “Wonderballs”). As expected, there was worry that children would choke, so in 2000, they changed it from plastic toys to smaller candies shaped like different characters and changed the name to Wonderball. Then*, for whatever reason, Nestlé sold the Wonderball brand in 2004 to a company called Frankford, who kept producing them until 2007, when they discontinued the product only to bring it back again finally in 2016 (I can’t seem to find any info regarding why they were discontinued in 2007, what made the company decide to bring them back, or why Nestlé sold the brand to Frankford in the first place). EDIT: this comment has been updated to include correct dates rather than guesses/estimates.

[@juliadriscoll]

Fruitopia is literally the only drink I get at McDonald’s I don’t drink pop at all. Fruitopia strawberry is my second favourite drink. If you want to try Canadian snacks, let me know and I can send you guys a bunch!!!

I seem to remember the 3D Doritos back in the day being way bigger, but they totally did taste different. I remember them being just cumbersome to eat and not even all that worth it. Jell-O pudding pops were mid as hell when they made them in stores, but I bet just freezing straight up Jell-O pudding is great. Vanilla Dunkaroos were my favorite. Then I grew up and had the mind-blowing revelation that I could just get a jar of frosting and a box of teddy grahams and basically DIY all you can eat Dunkaroos. Ten year old me was SHOOK. That said, I did buy a case of Dunkaroos from Sam's Club because I'm an adult. The bubble jug was so good too. I remember just like, eating as much as my dumb little kid mouth could hold.
