Eating Nostalgic Snacks!

[@Peebs]

It was super fun to go back and try some of my favorite childhood snacks! What was your favorite snack growing up? Thanks for watching!

[@enoccruz6565]

Doritos

I've always LOVED cosmic brownies since I was a kid, and I still do as an old ass 28 year old. Especially the holiday Christmas tree ones. Krave cereal however was always immensely disappointing to me.

[@Fuzunga]

I was at the grocery store recently and noticed they were selling Dunkaroos again. Apparently, they were discontinued around 2012 and revived in 2020 so they probably did change the recipe. It’s sad they don’t come with Kangaroos any more either.

[@DigitalxGamer]

Your theory about the food being lesser and smaller is absolutely true. Due to inflation, a LOT of companies decided that, rather than raise the price of their product to compensate, they would cut costs by decreasing the amount of product in the package. The term I've heard for it is "Shrinkflation".

[@dunguswungus359]

And a lot of companies decided they would make their products smaller AND increase the price

[@NoxWyatt]

That Frito's bean dip is such a massive overpay. A can of refried beans and a thing of salsa or taco seasoning gets you the same thing but for cheaper.

[@CjChaosMansion]

Is it, I don't like beans really but I like bean dip so I've never tried that before, maybe I'll give it a shot.

[@tossingturnips]

You get like, three times the amount too. But that's a great idea, I'll have to check it out.

[@AntsyAndi]

for me, it's alright, my family used to buy it a lot on road trips, so it's nostalgic for sure lol

[@shellbullet37]

I get the lowest tier cans of chili from the store, theyre just under a dollar, but its essentially just a can of bean dip, so thats how i eat it :3

[@TC_EHGL]

See, it works for me because I live with my partner and he hates refried beans, but I don't like them enough to be able to eat an entire can on my own, so they end up sitting in the fridge and becoming more and more dubious. No matter where I look I can't find a half size can of refried beans so the bean dip makes a lot more sense.

[@OtterloopB]

You finally made a Gushers video 🥲 Thank you, Peebs 🙏

Dunkaroos absolutely changed the recipe. They were a top tier snack and they are absolutely not the same

[@Cool-Spot]

You're right about Gushers being smaller now. I checked and a 6 pack box in the 90/00s was 5.4 ounces and now that box is 4.8 ounces.

"Tedious" is TOTALLY how I would describe pulling the shapes off of fruit roll ups. They stretch, twist, and tear all over the place long before you're able to get them out. As a kid I just dug into the thing with my teeth rolled up like a burrito.

[@xray8012]

Fun Fact: the whole "They haven't gotten smaller, YOU just got bigger!" Was something Cadbury did with their creme eggs until they got called out on Live TV (one of the only times Shrinkflation was called out on Live TV)

[@draco2351]

The snack reviews coupled with the transitions of the lively backing bgm's just make this a masterpiece of a video.

[@db_524]

Ah yes, nostalgia snacks. I’ve seen most of them still around. Every time I see them, I’m taken back to my youth. Good times.

[@thechosen_png]

Another fun nostalgic video, Austin! If I'm honest, if we were to have grown up together I think we would have been best friends to this day. We share the same interest and same forms of nostalgia and excitement. Also we are not that far apart in age (I'm 27 turning 28 this year) and would have bonded over our love for Zelda games too! Also nice addition with Specter's Circus at 7:30 Toasty.

[@ProjectSNT]

18:49 You don’t have to theorize anything, because companies have been caught doing this exact thing. It’s called “shrinkflation”

[@MrsDizarky]

This entire video had me going "I had that in my lunch box!" just on repeat 😅

[@gurvmlk]

But if you had all of that in your lunch box, then how did you have any room for your sandwich. You: "Sandwich?"

[@Curlyheart]

I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here: it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew what you had you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it, you want to sell it!

​@@animeartist888I know exactly what your speaking of! Personally I wasn't a fan of Trix stuff but I did always see the commercials for the yogurt as well in the store! If any yogurt I had it was a gogurt tubes back when they tasted really good

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

We had Dunkaroos in Australia, except they were distributed by Uncle Toby's. I didn't actually try them myself, so I can't say how they compare to the ones in America. I'm at least aware that they had them in chocolate. We also have Fruit Roll-Ups, which were also distributed by Uncle Toby's, but they were just called Roll-Ups and only came in fruit. And while there was only ever a handful of different options, the only ones that really stuck around were the fun prints and the rainbow ones, which were just 3 different fruits, and the more common ones ranged from tropical fruits and berry fruits. We still have the rainbow ones nowadays, but I haven't been keeping track of them enough to know what else they have still around to this day. What I do know, is that they've made them less sugary and less sticky than when I was a kid.

[@owenday3886]

Dunkaroos tickle the senses on my taste buds that are located on my tongue I do say so myself

[@owenday3886]

I remember I used to eat roll-ups and I kept on accidently eating tiny pieces of that plastic that it was rolled up in, I also remember eating the entire roll in one bite and it being really hard to chew because it kept on sticking o my teeth

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

@@owenday3886 This may sound crazy, but I think roll-ups are better than what they used to be. Primarily because it's not as difficult to remove them from the plastic wrap, since they're not as sticky anymore.

[@corsaircarl9582]

You can tell Peebs lives in Texas because he dipped it in the cheese AFTER he dipped it into the bean dip; doing it backwards is a cardinal sin down here.

Cosmic Brownies and their Oatmeal Cream Pies were my top tier snacks as a kid

[@Smokeyjoedamanedamythdalegend]

My favorite is always gushers. Me and my friend were smoking bud once back in highschool. He lived on the top floor of his apartment complex, so we were up top in front his apartment and smoked two blunts. Some guy randomly opens his door, came out and gave me and my friend a pack of gushers and told us to have a good day and closed his door. Best day of my life, you get the munchies satisfied from the chewy part and the cotton mouth quenched from the liquid in it. Best snack ever

[@MotionlessKnight]

When I was little, I didn't like the bean dip, but I liked the cheese. My dad liked the bean dip, so he'd get me the cheese dip and the bean for himself. Damn... That was like early-mid 90's... Good memories I have with him. Gaming or watching movies and eating chips and dip.

[@YHShinVH]

Aparently, the food you used to eat in the past was indeed actually better. Because of inflation companies have had to start using cheaper ingredients to save money and have caused the overall product to taste worse nowadays, so it isnt your imagination. They were actually better quality back then.

[@sleepyote]

Gushers were my favorite as a kid. I also liked Baby Bottle Pop.

[@pharmcat8484]

My favorite Gushers memory is from just a few years ago. I had just found ProJared’s Twitch channel and I decided to send him a package. It was just a couple of SNES games, but since I had seen he used to eat Gushers in his videos I decided to by several boxes of them and use the packs as packing material. He stopped the game he was about to play to show chat all the Gushers he got. Good times.

[@sturgecon]

On the topic of your snacks looking smaller than you remember: you're not crazy for noticing this. As inflation grows, companies have to spend more money making their products. That would naturally mean that their prices on products would have to increase on the consumer's end. However, for snack companies, even a small price increase can significantly reduce sales on a product. So many companies will opt to create slightly smaller snacks for the same price, and many consumers won't notice the subtle downsize of the product

[@BaeBunni]

Yeah they brought back the Dunkaroos which I had been super excited for, but they definitely changed the cookies and frosting and aren't as good anymore. Pretty sure the cookies used to be graham-esque or more shortbread and the frosting use to be thinner and tastier. The frosting they use now is pretty much just premade cake frosting you get in the baking aisle and it just doesn't work.

[@tossingturnips]

Dunkaroos have definitely fallen from top to garbage tier. Those have to be the saddest cookies I've ever seen. Also, did anyone else used to use a broken Funyun ring and hang a full one through it and then held them up to their ear pretending like they were ears and earrings? I think this was one of the clues my parents had that I was not heterosexual.

Edit: Oh dang, but I love Cosmic Brownies (and the walnut brownies) as well! I agree, they did used to have way more of the multicoloured chocolate sprinkles, though. I used to press every single one into the brownie first so they wouldn't fall off while I was eating it 😅😆

Oml I'm not the only person who did that with the brownies. xD It was either press them down, or sometimes I'd take them off and eat them separately. I'd do the same thing with the ones with nuts too.

Omfg, I'm not the only one who pressed the chocolate bits in! I used to think they were an appropriate substitute for a proper brownie, but... I've tried them as an adult and... I guess my tastes have changed, cuz' they're a sad mockery of the beauty that is a fudge brownie now.
