11 Awesome Snacks That Will Give 90s Kids All Of The Feels

If you are a 90's baby, like myself, you tend to get a littlenostalgica lot of the time. Well, here are some snack foods that we can all agree need to make a big comeback. While, a lot of them you can still find now in a local grocery store, they just don't seem to have quite the same effect on kids now-a-days than they did on us.

1. DunkAroos

In my opinion, this delicious snack was the very best of my childhood. Although, the "cookie to cream" ratio was a bit lacking in my opinion, which led me to always having a few extra cookies left over due to lack of self-control when dipping these yummy cookies.. But who's complaining? Anyway, if you are interested you can find a recipe on how to make your own homemade DunkAroos on Pinterest!

2. The Wonder Ball

Dun Dun Dun! Mysterious... This was a fun one! A hollow chocolate ball with candy inside? It's like an edible pinata. The best thing was that they had different "themes", if you will, like "Spongebob," "Pokemon," or "Winnie the Pooh."

3. Fruit Stripe Gum (AKA: Zebra Stripe)

This always amazed me as a kid. The gum was actually striped like a crazy colorful zebra and had a sweet and great taste. The taste didn't last long for each piece but it sure was addicting.

4. Lunchables


Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lunchables are still easy to find, even your local 7/11 probably has them, but the OG Lunchables were different. They just were, OKAY!?

5. Cosmic Brownies

Sure, these are still in any supermarket too. But nothing beats the feeling when you were a kid of opening your lunch box and finding one of these babies in there.. Or even better, a Lunchable AND a cosmic brownie, that says "Heaven" for my childhood-self.

6. Push-Up Pops

This was like the iconic dessert of my childhood, it tasted good and it was fun to eat? What is better than that?

7. Fun Dip

Kids these days just don't appreciate the value of a good candy. Fun Dip was so popular when I was a kid, kids everywhere thought it was the greatest thing. Now most kids that I speak to have no idea what I'm talking about.

8. Gushers

Gushers were like the snack that we all had in our lunchboxes as a kid every day, but never got tired of. My only wish is that more came in a pack.

9. Hubba Bubba Bubble Tape

This doesn't even need an explanation.. was there anything cooler than this???

10. Trix Yogurt

This wasn't the craziest of childhood snacks, but the fact that my yogurt sort of had a tye-dye thing going on made it taste a whole lot better.

11. Fruit Roll Ups - Tongue Tattoos

This was like magic to me as a kid. You simply hold the fruit rollup on your tongue and POOF! You have a tattoo and a yummy snack. Like really, you can;t say that this wasn't cool.

Overall, although we have some great snacks now in this day and age, I think we can all agree that nothing will ever compare to the amazing and unique snacks of our childhood.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
