17 Foods All 90s Kids Still Get Mad Cravings For Today
The 90s not only offered us great entertainment and fashion style, but it also gave us some amazing snacks.
Was there anything more stressful as a kid than asking your mom for a certain treat at the grocery store? You had to wait till she was in a decent mood and it had to be casual. Not too pushy, or else she'll definitely say no. But also not so casual that she thinks you don't really want it. It was a true science.
These are some of the best snacks we could dream of as kids growing up in the 90s. Granted, some of these are still around today. And sometimes I will buy Gushers if I'm feeling like adult life is too overwhelming. But nothing will beat that great feeling of seeing a newly stocked pantry full of goodies.
1. Bugles, because we all needed witch nails.
2. Cosmic Brownies, jump-starting our inevitable diabetes.
