Let's all take a moment of silence for all of those delicious snacks that we enjoyed as kids that have since been taken off shelves. But let's not cry because it's over... let's smile because it happened. Just thinking about it brings back memories of coming home from school, turning on Cartoon Network, and snacking away.
And while watching T.V., we'd always see ads for said snacks, such as this unforgettable and absolutely ridiculous commercial. Reminisce with me, as I remind you of these 10 snacks that have been discontinued, but will continue to live forever in our hearts.
1. 3D Doritos
These were my personal favorite, so they had to be in the number one spot. For some reason, the chips being smaller and in 3D made them taste so much better. Frito Lay, if you can hear me... please for the love of God, bring back these delicious three-dimensional chips.
2. EZ Squirt Ketchup
This ketchup was equal parts gross and exciting. No one really asked for their ketchup to be green or purple, but Heinz knew that's what we all wanted.
3. Dunkaroos
These were the best dessert to have in your lunch box. Such a simple and beautiful concept: cookies with your desired amount of frosting.
4. Altoids Sours
I popped these bad boys on the daily like I was addicted to them. I didn't even care how much they made my cheeks hurt or how much they cut the roof of my mouth. They were worth it.
5. Wonder Ball
Okay, so I'm fairly certain that they did bring these back, but they're definitely not the same as they used to be. I'm pretty sure they have Shopkins in them now instead of these tangy, character shaped candies. I'm not about it.
6. Sprite Remix
Sprite definitely needs to bring back this tropical twist on their lemon-lime flavor. It was fruity and refreshing and I need it back in my life.
7. Melody Pops
These were the lollipops made for music lovers. You could play a little tune with this and also get a snack, so it was a win-win.
8. French Toast Crunch
We all know and love Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but do you remember when French Toast Crunch was a thing? The world of cereal hasn't been the same since.
9. Oreo O's
Speaking of cereal, I heard rumors that Oreo O's made a comeback. Someone, please tell me if this is true and if so where can I get them???
10. McDonald's Cookies
Do you guys remember eating McNuggets, topping off your meal with some of these delicious cookies, and then hitting the ball pit in the Play Place with your bros? Same.
11. Crystal Pepsi
Crystal Pepsi was the short-lived clear soda that blew everyone's minds when it first came out. It was recently brought back for a limited time, and people are going crazy over it.
12. Schezuan Sauce
Everyone probably forgot about McDonald's Szechuan sauce, until an episode of Rick and Morty reminded us all of its deliciousness. This sauce came out in 1998 to promote Disney's Mulan. After decades of living without it, McDonald's finally re-released it for a limited time following the uproar of comments by Rick and Morty fans. At this point, we're all wondering why they don't just bring it back for good.
There may be many snacks that didn't make this list, but these are the ones that stand out most to me when I reminisce about the "good old days." These snacks may be long gone, but their legacy remains. RIP to our childhood.
