Discontinued Snacks From The 90's That Need To Come Back

If you didn't enjoy these snacks as a kid, were you even truly there?

I genuinely take pity on this generation, not because of their addiction to technology, but because they seriously missed out on some of the best snacks known to mankind. Growing up in the 90's, I not only got to experience the bold fashion choices made by Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears as the "it" couple who actually made denim on denim look fashionable, but more importantly, I had the best snacks at my dispense.

So, naturally, when I found out some of my most favorite snacks were being discontinued, I was devastated. I was more devastated than when I found out wearing denim on denim is actually socially unacceptable. However, like denim, I am hopeful these snacks will make a comeback. Here are some snacks true 90's-made foodies can reallyappreciate.


The Wonder Ball

If there was an eighth Wonder of the World, it'd be this snack right here. Also, the only thing "wondrous" about this delectable treat was how many I could eat in one sitting.


3D Doritos

It's 2016 and we have returned to 2D Doritos. Not only was the packaging enticing (I could use the cap as a bowl and not have to do dishes, score!), but these chips tasted better than life itself.


Jell-O Pudding Pops

Let me get this straight, I could eat pudding, on a stick, in the form of a popsicle? How could anybody discontinue this amazingly delicious invention?


Oreo-O's

The discontinuation of this snack was probably the one that hurt me the most. As an avid cereal eater, my love for cereal stemmed from the creation of this single cereal. This was the closest thing to eating cookies for breakfast. Tragic.


Mango Sour Altoids

Fun fact: mango sour altoids was actually the first food I ever choked on as a child. Despite this traumatizing event, these were too good to give up, so I overlooked the incident and ate probably 10 cans after that. No regrets.


Kid Cuisine

Nothing more appetizing than artificial macaroni and cheese, grey chicken nuggets, and pudding that both looked and tasted like poop. However, as a kid, this was the perfect three course meal (nobody ate the corn, let's be real).


Gripz

If you had these at recess, you were the big pimp. The day these were discontinued was the day I stopped being a pimp.


Minute-Maid Juice Bars


The only good thing school lunches offered. I also ate a ton of paper from the cheap paper packaging of these bars, but it was well worth it, nonetheless.


Dunkaroos


This snack was the epitome of hand-held, dip-able snacks. However, I'd take this snack back over the lame cheese and crackers one any day.


All-Star Burgers and Hot Dogs Lunchables

When I say I had it good, I mean I had it real good. I had more than the pathetic rubber ham, artificial cheese on stale crackers, I had all-star burgers and hot dogs. It was like a mini barbecue in my lunchbox.


Yogos

How could they get rid of yogurt in a spherical shape? It's spherical, spherical.


Cheetos Balls and Twisted Puffs

Something so much more satisfying when there's more puff to my Cheetos.


Philadelphia Snack Bars

If you never got to try a bite out of one of these, you haven't lived life, and you probably never will, since they're discontinued.


Juice in a Barrel

Something so much more satisfying about drinking juice out of a plastic shaped barrel, too.


Skittles Bubble Gum

To be honest, regular Skittles are already so chewy, I never knew the difference between this bubble gum and regular Skittles.


Flinstones Push Pop

If you're not talking Flinstones Pebbles Push-Up Nerds Edition Push Pop, I don't want to talk.


At the end of the day, I'm grateful to have been able to taste and have these wonderful snacks in my lifetime. To the new generation, good luck with trying to top these snacks!

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
