11 Snacks We Loved In The 90s

The 90s were a wonderful time to be a child. There were great games to play outside, tons of fun toys to play with and great cartoons/TV shows for kids to watch back then. But probably one of the most important thing for kids in the 90s were the snacks. These snacks will make you nostalgic for your childhood (you have been warned).

1. The Wonder Ball

The Wonder Ball was the highlight snack of the 90s. Inside a chocolate ball was a wonderful surprise. Usually it was candy tarts or a small toy prize. You won't find this snack in the U.S. anymore, because it was banned for being a choking hazard among children. But hey, we couldn't help it that we were excited to eat our way to the prize inside.

2. Gushers

Very few stores still sell Gushers, but these were another treat of the 90s. Each Gusher had a tasty jelly inside. There were a number of different flavors and combos of these tasty treats. Everyone wanted to trade desserts with you at lunch if you had one of these bad boys.

3. Ring Pops

The next best thing to a real engagement ring, these were the most glamorous lollipops of our childhood. You could wear these on your finger and take it with you wherever you went.

4. Fruit by the Foot


The fun went on and on with this fruit snack. Like the Gusher, very few stores still sell this treat, but it is still available. Anyone else remember eating these right off the wrapping?

5. Baby Bottle Pops

Which other snack made you feel like it was OK to be caught with a baby bottle as a child?

6. Dunkaroos

This was a very popular snack. Maybe it was the fact you could dunk your cookie into a drop of frosting. Maybe it was eating the entire frosting and saving the cookies for later. Either way, this was one fun snack.

7. Push Pops


A lollipop you could push up with your pinky and put a cap on it to save it for later. What could possibly be better?

8. Bagel Bites

Pizza with a bagel crust? Our taste buds say "yas."

9. Freeze Pops

No summer in the 90s was complete without this frozen treat.

10. Nerds Rope

Nerds were a popular treat in the 90s by themselves, but with Nerds Rope having the tangy treat on a chewy rope, what more could we ask for?

11. Squeezit

The hardest part was deciding if you wanted blue or pink.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
