1. Cheetos Zingers

The Cheetos that inspired this article. There were other flavor combinations, but this is the one I ate the most often. I still remember locking myself in my room with a bag of these to send a Facebook message to whichever boy I had a crush on, because I was grounded from Facebook that week and had to hide from my parents to go online. I left the bag in my room by accident and found it months later when they were sadly very stale.

2. Peach Mango Vitamin Water

This was the best Vitamin Water flavor. I discovered it in eighth grade and could only find it at a very specific Albertson's (Lucky's) store, so I didn't get to have it that often. I usually had the Power-C flavor (dragonfruit?) instead.

3. Cherry Citrus SoBe

My 6th grade crush mentioned SoBe in a passing reference one day, so I asked my mom to get me some from the grocery store that afternoon. This was the flavor I tried, and it was amazing. Unfortunately, my mom discovered it had caffeine in it, which I wasn't allowed to have growing up. It was on my list of things I wanted at my eighteenth birthday party, but was long discontinued by then.

4. Stride Mystery Gum

With an honorable mention for the Forever Fruit flavor. Mystery Stride was my gum of choice at fourteen. I remember walking to sophomore year registration while chewing this. Found a pack with some pieces left under my bed two years later. I wasn't going to see if they were still good, but it was tempting.

Other honorable gum mentions: that Orbit thirst-quenching gum with the weird commercials. Did nothing to quench my thirst, but it sure did taste good. Also, Trident Layers. Are those still a thing? I feel like I haven't seen them in forever.

5. Cheddar Bacon Goldfish

Not sure if these are still a thing, but I haven't been able to find them in stores in forever. These were my go-to church snack when I was first going to the young single adult meetings. That, and this weird maple bacon popcorn from Safeway.

6. Yoplait Whips (Peach flavor)

According to the YoPlait website, these are still available (but not the peach flavor) despite the fact that I haven't seen them in a grocery store since 2014. I also remember a cherry and chocolate flavor, but Google Images doesn't. Apparently they still make the strawberry, raspberry chocolate, key lime, and caramel flavors, which were my other favorites. This is the yogurt I was eating during an IM fight with my seventh grade best friend. She wanted to finish the argument so she could eat cookies, so I told her I was eating this yogurt while arguing with her to prove that we could fight AND eat at the same time. Oh, middle school.

7. Trix Yogurt

On the subject of yogurt, remember Trix yogurt? Strawberry kiwi was the best flavor. It was the flavor I was eating (frozen, because I made those yogurt popsicles before it was shown in their commercials) during the first and only earthquake I ever felt, in seventh grade.
