7 Snacks We LIVED On As Kids That Our Adult Bodies Just Can't Stomach Anymore

In This Article:

Growing up stinks. Adulting has led me to discover the hard truth: that rainbow-colored fruit snacks aren't what an adult body needs to be fueled with. Although this is true, I will still sit here and reminisce of the good old days when my lunches were filled with foods that could double as temporary tattoos.

1. Fruit Roll-Ups

Honestly, if you did not have a tattoo on your tongue after lunch you were doing it wrong.

2. Smucker's Uncrustables Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches

Pre-made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches without the crust, what more could a 9-year-old want? Perfectly peanut buttered on the outside with jelly on the inside. It was like heaven in bread.

3. Go-Gurt

Am I the only one who threw these in the freezer to turn them into delicious frozen yogurt desserts? A frozen Go-Gurt was THE BEST WAY to start and end the perfect summer day.

4. Kid Cuisine

Hands down the best meals ever. It had corn in it, so it must be healthy, right?

5. Pringles

Pringles were the most addicting snacks, and I could easily eat an entire container in one sitting. The convenience of having a can of Pringles and not worrying about squishing them in your backpack made life so much easier.

6. Pop-Tarts

My Pop-Tarts obsession was far from healthy. There was no bad flavor, and they made the most delicious breakfast meal to start your day with.

7. Fruit Gushers

Gushers were basically like candy, but you got to include them in your lunch as a food group. Nothing was better than opening up a pack of Gushers and discovering that it was mainly filled with reds and blues.

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.
