10 Treats Every '90s Kid Wanted To Find In Their Lunchbox

You were immediately the cool kid at your lunch table if you had any of these.

Remember the elementary school day when you and your classmates would all pile into the lunchroom like a herd of animals? Then you would sit down at your (probably assigned) lunch tables and pop open your Barbie and Hot Wheels lunch boxes to see what Mom had packed for the day? Good times, right?

If your Mom packed any of the following 15 treats (some of them discontinued, sadly), you were probably the envy of everybody at your lunch table that day. Maybe you can thank these treats for starting your training in the world of trading and gambling.

1. Dunkaroos.

Probably our first real struggle with "not enough dip left for my chips, but if I get more dip I won't have enough chips." Except in this case it was with cookies and icing.

2. GoGurt.

Even though it probably tasted like crap from sitting in your scorching hot cubby all morning, you couldn't imagine a more fun way to eat yogurt. If you were a picky eater, it was probably the only way your mom could get you to eat yogurt.

3. Fruit Gushers.

I remember the first time that I ever ate fruit gushers, I was so scared that my head would turn into a giant fruit (like in the commercial above). I was a strange child, okay?

4. Wonder Ball.

If your school didn't allow candy (mine didn't), then you probably wouldn't have found this in your lunchbox. This was like two candies for the price of one: a chocolate ball filled with little candies. The fact that the candies were shaped like either your favorite Disney princesses or "Toy Story" characters made opening the chocolaty goodness so much better.

5. Fruit by the Foot.

Also can be known as "Expectations: a never ending line of chewy, fruity goodness. Reality: is this thing even a foot long?"

6. Uncrustables.

If you didn't like the crusts on your bread as a kid, then these peanut butter and jelly-filled pouches were your go-to for your lunchbox.

7. Kudo's Bars

Not exactly a candy bar, but you knew deep down that it was a candy bar.

8. Ritz Handi-Snacks.

You immediately became a chef when you whipped one of these out. After all, taking a cracker and carefully coating it with that fake cheesy mush without breaking the cracker took skill.

9. Cosmic Brownies.

And being really upset when you got a batch that barely had any of those little candies on them. I remember that I used to like picking the little candies off of one brownie and then sticking them onto the other brownie.

10. Lunchables.

These high-calorie and high-fat boxes of what they called food were so fun to put together.

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.
