Exploring Weird and Discontinued Snacks 

Kid cuisine wasn't even mentioned in the video smh

Nice Tetcho pfp

The flavor was like shoe lace aglets

can't forget the rubbery, tough, and bland brownie or the mac and cheese that tasted like the plastic it was microwaved in! ah the memories

oh my gosh so true 😂 i also remember when they made more than just chicken nuggets

same, and i completely forgot they existed until this video lmao. like i could taste it when i heard that name lmfao

It had more of a yogurt clump into a shape of a ball but it tasted so smooth!

They had such a strange texture and flavor that I loved the couple of times I had them. They were sweet yet sour, fruity but also yogurty, but not in the way that fruit flavored yogurt is. They were chewy and soft too, not firm like the yogurt coating that's on rasins or nuts sometimes. Someone please make Yogos 2, I'd like to taste them again before I die.

same!! I want them to come back so badly

anyone else have that fun little yogos dispenser with a keyring?? memories...

Not really. Goes against the TOS.

except for oui cuz those are packaged in glass decanter things

That's exactly what I was thinking. That's what I do when I'm too lazy to get a spoon

I distinctly remember doing so and I'm English.

I 100% believe that it enriched me so much, that it led to a joyous career in the food industry for me. Currently a baker since 2017 🤙🏽 playing with food and getting paid for it rocks.

@@teresitaperegrina3741 i respect bakers immensely! thank you for making tasty treats. while i can't claim professionalism, the fun foods of my childhood have definitely inspired me to make my partner's work bento boxes as interesting for them as possible. i notched their cucumber slices and fit them together like little gears on their rice once and watched them try to make them turn with chopsticks, and it brought me so much joy. [if you have any recommendations for bite-sized desserts to try, let me know!]

Toy snacks walked so mollecular gastronomy could run

Food is food. Food is not a toy. Conflating the two, including by treating food as rewards, is partly why people are overweight: their relationship with their bodies and with food is muted/twisted.

@@hummingbirb your fatphobia, ableism, classism, and racism are showing, my love. not only do food cultures exist, but a majority of weight retention is related to poverty and disability. an excellent example of this are my own people: i'm native american, and many of us are overweight due to the violence of colonialism, including the "passive" violence inflicted by the average settler, such as the creation of food deserts, the racism and ableism we face when attempting to seek healthcare for common illnesses such as insulin resistance, and continued elections of politicians who enforce/do not combat extant laws prohibiting us from engaging in our traditional hunting, gathering, and farming. if you're so afraid of fat people you have to invent the problem of "food rewards" in a world where the majority of people in countries such as the united states report not being able to access enough food to feed their families at least once a year, in which the EBT/SNAP program does not cover pre-prepared food nor offer additional food stamps during long months nor calculate food stamp rewards based on regional food prices but rather the lowest amount of EBT someone can get by using the lowest possible prices, and the majority of schools do not offer free lunches, let alone healthy lunches... brother, you're mad at the wrong people. here's a short list of how YOU can personally combat harmful obesity and the conditions that lead to prolonged obesity: • learn about and advocate for safe, accessible homegrown foods, including free-to-gather community gardens. this also means you must become and environmentalist and care about the air, water, and ground quality, not only locally, but worldwide, to ensure grow conditions are both optimal and safe. you must also learn about the history of settler farming, the introduction of non-native plants and how that has not only created a wide array of health disorders in humans and animals, but killed local resources such as the american chestnut. fight for indigenous peoples' rights to return to their native lands, as many of us are displaced and few reservations are located where our homelands are. fight for our right to foster OUR communities based on sustainable, healthy, clean farming, gathering, and hunting techniques - this goes for all indigenous and aborigine peoples worldwide. • stop being afraid of fat people. stop repeating rhetoric that is not only harmful towards fat people, but further stigmatises and demonises them. do not make thinness the norm. learn about and introduce children, especially, to fat atheletes, artists, actors, and people, to show them there is still a life worth leading even if they gain weight. this will help mitigate many eating disorders that Lead To Obesity, as well as cause health issues that lead to obesity. • learn about the genetic factor. learn about the intersection of disability and weight. learn about insulin resistance, a disease that disproportionately affects intersex people with PCOS, early menopause, and post-partem issues. this is a disease in which you produce the correct amount of insulin (making insulin supplementation useless and potentially dangerous with a risk of insulomas or insulin shock) yet, your insulin reuptake is reduced significantly. you do not use the insulin you produce. you retain continuous weight, experience alternating hypo- and hyperglycemia, can develop ovarian cysts larger than noted in cystic fibrosis, can experience disrupted hormone imbalance beyond just insulin that affects the thyroid, conversion of excess testosterone into estrogen, progesterone reuptake, and sodium reuptake. we're learning many insulin resistant people also experience POTs, tachycardia, ME/CFS, and the activation of autoimmune diseases lying dormant in their DNA. these co-morbidities and their treatments are all also associated with weight gain, weight retention, atrophy, and limited mobility. learn about how ableism, poverty, stigma against fat people, and the health insurance business industry prevent many people from accessing sufficient specialist healthcare, medications, rehab and physical therapy, pain management, mobility aids, home modifications, accommodation at work and unemployment, SSDI and SSI (and what impossible nightmares SSI, especially, is to obtain) and other fixed income welfare options in many countries, food allowances including EBT/SNAP, and the inability to access food unless it can be delivered when disabled, especially when not accommodated and treated for those disabilities. • boycott fast food for two reasons: it is too expensive and it is too unhealthy for no good reason. boycott and protest any and all food products and brands using slave labour, unethical and unsustainable techniques and packaging, and food that is overpriced. this includes almost never buying any chocolate or coffee, which are never harvested ethically on a major scale. you may be able to find local farmers or seedbanks that can help you with this. however, if they aren't native plants to your area, you shouldn't be growing them, anyway. continuously make it clear to food producers and distributors that there are many people in poverty, many disabled people in need of pre-prepared meals, many people with eating disorders or dietary needs, and many people seeking/needing cultural and "ethnic" food that can only access the food they need through overprocessed, overpriced, oversalted, and oversugared food. protest the unnecessary additions of allergens such as sesame products into foods. protest the use of banana-based wax on most mass-market fruits and vegetables. protest supermarkets that create food deserts, and the unsustainable, urban, non-walkable urban architecture and city design that further contribute to that. • learn about food cultures. learn about the long histories of farming, harvesting, hunting, gathering, cooking, and sharing food worldwide. learn about how food is an expression of love, culture, community, heritage, tradition, survival, and our relationship with the earth and all creatures on it. learn how food is a celebration. learn how many people cannot access their cultural food and ingredients, or any food at all, and how that impacts us and our communities, how both beautiful cultural exchange and ugly colonial introductions of foreign and invasive ingredients occur due to this. • advocate for prison reform and abolition, including immigration camps. people held in dangerous, unhealthy, unsanitary, traumatising conditions are also not being fed well. they are not able to live well. all of these conditions impact our bodies, our relationships with food, and will always impact our ability to access food. much drug abuse leads to thyroid conditions. many people gain a lot of weight in prison and suffer from food restrictions, only worsening their resistance to insulin and potentially contributing to triggering co-morbidities or psychiatric disorders. many imprisoned people with autism, ARFID, and other developmental and intellectual disabilities that affect their food consumption are starved, force-fed, and left unaccommodated in prison, leading to weight cycling, insulin resistance, eating disorders, and PTSD. many people on methadone as a treatment for drug addiction experience weight gain and feel tempted to relapse into the drug that kept them underweight by severely reducing their access to food in various ways, because fear of and repulsion towards fat, even healthy fat, is drilled into people from birth. drug use impacts the endocrine system and contributes to co-morbities associated with weight gain and retention. many recovering drug addicts on methadone risk being ejected from their programs by substituting food with alcohol to try and keep their weight down, not realising or not accepting that alcohol is supremely sugary, unhealthy, and also contributes to weight cycling. which leads me to my next point... • advocate for better regulation of ingredients in alcohol, including non-alcoholic mocktails and beers. boycott these products and brands. • challenge your local cigarette sellers in supermarkets, convenience stores, and gas stations. protest cigarette sales. protest unethical, dangerous, and unsustainable tobacco farming. protest nicotine. cigarettes are often used as an appetite suppressant and contribute to weight cycling, activation of underlying medical conditions, and negative impacts on air quality. • listen to fat people. listen to poor people. listen to disabled people. understand, from the perspectives of fat people, what fatness is, how it affects lives, how hostile the modern world is to fat people despite contributing to fatness. understand that this is an intentional, structured part of classism, oppression and subjegation, racism, and colonialism. stop complaining about fat people and start fighting alongside them against the conditions that create people whose weight impacts their health. there's a lot more i could add here, but this is a decent list. hope you actually try to make the world a better place. hope you be the change you want to see. hope you learn to love people. hope you learn to have fun.

From what I've heard, the pink sauce has definitely run - or at least, it's given folks the runs.

@@NormDeMoss my friend bought a bottle and I swear to god that crap smells like total garbage 💀 idk why people like it so much

Even though I haven’t tried it, the pink sauce sucks.

i miss that ketchup

​@@NormDeMoss Up till today I don't get how a condiment literally made in some person's kitchen is just selling out in stores, esp with someone who didn't know FDA needs to approve food products being sold in retail before selling them.

Agreed!

I 100% agree!!! There's something so calming about them!!

Oh I think i remember that

maybe it comes from the rave culture of the era?? Like sucking on pacifiers to help with tense jaw after taking MDMA. I also remember disguising yourself as a baby for halloween parties was a big thing cuz of the efficiency of having most things for the costume just laying around the house. like, as long as it was for another purpose than actually enjoying it like a baby would, baby stuff was pretty "in" if I remember.

my 35 year old sister still eats those and i bully her every time. they have one now that is a little plastic toilet filled with sugar powder and you dip a candy plunger in it.

I remember thinking they were cool as a kid too. And I mean candy was fun. Weird tangent but I saw a kid who was like 12 who had an rgb pacifier shopping with a sleepover party that were buying snacks. Is that like some kind of trend now?

The watermelon flavor was my favorite.

Yep, definitely not the same taste as an ordinary Oreo. For a few years, I used to bring these to grade school or sports games instead of proper birthday cupcakes; they traveled well, I am picky about which frosting I actually like, and I could eat them all the time as a snack like Graham crackers.

Omg yes i feel the exact same i loved them. They were the perfect snack

Wish they just sold the good chocolate part of the cookie, it feels like currently they are just thinking of 500 different ways to add even more of the sugary cream and LESS of the cookie now

i. love. the. hexagons.

I was legit just thinking about these the other day. I’m craving them 🥹 my aunt used to babysit me and she would always get them and I’d always sneak packs from her pantry

Don’t forget when they started advertising the juicy drop gummies and eating it with that sauce or whatever Juicy Drop qualifies as.

i still eat them today 😭 they're so good ngl

I REMEMBER! That and baby bottle pop. I still think of Cartoon Network whenever I see em

It was also advertised on YTV and Teletoon

​@@zuckertheoctopus3095Definitely. My favorite is the green and brown mint chocolate one, right next to blue raspberry!

Those candies were a gateway to obesity, without parental moderation I only can see it coming back with warning labels similar to cigarettes packaging.

@noobmaster420 everything in moderation, I’m not advocating against sugar, candy, chocolate, potato chips or any snacks. It’s just less marketable nowadays unless it’s a gimmick product or marketing ploy.

@@TranCeFORM3R can’t you say that about any type of processed sugary snack? If we need a warning label on food I think we’re doomed

@@ducky19991 in your country apparently it’s the USA, they have the have fda food label, just learn how to read it.

Moaning over something that makes people sick. 🙄 What about bringing back manners, being at an appointment in time, take responsibilities for your actions and having table manners? I want these things more.

the sherbert and mint chocolate were my favorites. i would love to have them back!!

I had a mint chip phase because of the gum

Same

I remember trying the strawberry shortcake one,it was alright.

@@camerannicephore5262 sometimes the walmart near me has a random flavor of them in the candy aisle, never one I like, but I do see them every once and a while lol

me and my mom got those all the time too we both loved that gum!

i miss the green apple/golden pineapple flavor, that was my favorite gum flavor along with that (also discontinued) black 5 gum in the berry flavor.

​@@vicquemareMy favorite was the mango guava one, it was awesome!

i haven't had them in over 10 years but my brain can still perfectly replicate their taste

Bro they are my favorite candy ever I need them so bad it's been literally 15yrs and I'm tourtured by remembering the taste 😢

I never even had a Yogo. 2009 kid here. I missed every good thing to happen.

I'm afraid that Welch's fruit and yogurt snacks will be discontinued soon, they are soo hard to find.

Tried the Cadbury one a handful of times, pretty nice chocolate

I remember loving aero bars, and the texture was definitely what made me love them so much

aero was my favorite candy bar for a while during childhood until I discovered coffee crisp and it changed my life. when coffee crisp is not around I settle for the best second option: Kit Kat. Kinder Bueno is way better than all of these but way too expensive for what it is lol.

I've tried both; I was hoping the Hershey bubble bar would be an Aero clone, one you could get from a regular store. Nooope. The Hershey chocolate was too greasy-feeling, the bar too flat unlike the Aero bumps, and the air bubbles just let you savor more of that butyric acid vomit Hershey aftertaste. Disappointing.

They originated in the uk. They’ve also been quite popular in Canada, sold by nestle here.

As a certified carbonation hater, I am sorry to say I am appalled to learn of this

"Fizzix" is actually a very dope name for a product like that and the marketing team deserved a raise lol

as someone who likes milkis, i can actually imagine myself really liking this. every time i explain what milkis are (carbonated flavored skim milk) people are always appalled until they actually try it. i imagine fizzix probably taste similar, just with a thicker texture

yogurt sodas are actually quite popular and available in asian countries. find a thai or japanese market near you and you'll have a nice selection!

oh my gosh they were so good!

bubble tape had a hold on me like nothing else

I remember when I was in school and if someone whipped out a lunchable at lunch time, instantly the coolest kid in the cafeteria. I would often ask my mom to get them for me too knowing damn well I was only going to eat the piece of candy and the crackers and drink the caprisun! 😆

those stacks were very good if theyre room temp and maybe with a TINY dot of regular full fat mayo. the pizzas had to be heated. the others are mid. the nachos also have to be heated up

Just make your own at home they taste exactly the fkin same 😂 but way cheaper for more

I remember back then with Lunchable. They did a Banjo and Kazooie promo that you can build a vehicle from the box and a possible chance to win a copy of the game

Your bf who actually hated you

I still enjoy those here in Brazil, bubble chocolates are a hit here

I don’t trust people who enjoy eating hersheys chocolate by itself, bubbles or not

I'm not sure whether to thank you or curse you for making me remember those! I never had them because I had a parent who understandably did not want that for their child lol...but man those ads were wild. early 2000s Canadian ads were always on another level of acid trip

What were they called?

omfg i remember seeing these

Yeah could never tell from the lack of accent lol. Had a teacher born in the U.K. whom moved to the U.S. before she learned to talk and I didn't even know until she mentioned. And she even brought cool snacks and stuff for class to try (the former either from Chinatown or imported and sometimes unique items like Christmas crackers from the Pier 1 Impetus website). We're good friends even after I graduated

​@hope4everymomentMoving to Australia would be all well and good until you get addicted to musk sticks

They aren't the same product.

Those were so good!

Chocolate covered Pringle’s are good though chocolate and potato chip is a more popular combination than you’d think it’s so good

​@entirelybonkers8832 They had chocolate flavoured Pringles for a limited time when I was a kid. I loved those, and was devastated that they were a limited time thing.

I'm pretty sure those are still a thing they are just called flavor straws now

im pretty sure dream jelly will get ptsd from hearing the word “stacking”

The cotton candy Trix yogurt was the best

I only ate regular Zebra Cakes my Grandma got me so much of it!

you just unearthed a memory from deep in the back end of my head sponge.

Ooh yeah... Maybe I'm thinking of the orange hostess cupcakes those things are delicious

@@FTChomp9980y mom used to get smth similar but they were pink. same brand as well (little debby). edit: they also had this white drizzle thing on top as well

Oh yeeeeah. I used to beg my classmates to share (or trade) theirs for gum 'n' stuff.

I think they might only sell them in Canada, but Aero chocolate bars DO still exist and have the exact same bubbly texture, if you want to re-experience it again.

Aero chocolate bar or cadbury bubbly bar! I love them too haha and the cadbury one is my favorite

Same here!

I eat Aero for that now I love the bubble chocolate it is so airy and has a different texture to.

@@haileybuth9223 ill have to see if either are available in the us!! tysm :D

Yogo gorilla is growing on me as a food mascot, he seems like a cool guy :-)

@@dreamyjellies didn’t know Yogo gorilla was the branding now haha, but the original yogo desert desert was from Brownes which is a dairy company product from Western Australia. The og was a brownie cake base, with small marshmallows covered in a chocolate pudding.

Gushers are just a feel good nostalgic snack I don't blame u!

not sure if you are hispanic, or familiar with the fruit sauce Chamoy. If u are, definitely try gushers covered in chamoy and sprinkled with tajin. 10/10

​@@teresitaperegrina3741 im not hispanic but had MANY friends growing up who were, i learned tajin can make anything delicious. i could eat that straight from the container as a kid even 😭😭

Gushers are the only candy that still taste good. I bought a box ate 1 and ended up eating the whole box in a day.

as you SHOULD

I still have those in Canada,but they don't taste th same anymore.

I thought you meant the guinea pig movie for a second and was a little confused?? The snack sounds pretty cool though :)

@@dreamyjellies I'm surprised there wasn't a tie-in since I think both came out around the same time lmao. But yeah. They were basically like Yogos in Fruit Gusher form.

If you can get your hands on it try aero!!! It’s so good man i haven’t had the hersheys air one so might not taste the same but i can say that aero is amazing :)!!

same

Same here i’m in shock at some of these tho 😭

You got the better chocolates than us here in the States, I can tell you that.

Damn I just looked it up and you're right it's back! I may have to grab a pack for nostalgic reasons haha

the gushers commercials genuinely frightened me as a child and i thought my head would turn into a fruit if i ate one

Oh my god same about both things! Thankfully I don't see her getting into any kind of situation like *you know who* is in though (with Dream Jelly being inherently more likeable and less ...abrasive than *that* creator ever was, looking back on it) lol

I would be up for that, especially with the different series. There are tons of different variants, with decades of history. I mean, the PreCure series is pretty much anime's Super Sentai or Kamen Rider.

They don't, and as far as I'm aware Kelloggs sadly doesn't have any plans to bring them back.

​@@Portalain0fuck Kellogg's they took away my fave candy and it wouldn't be so bad if I couldn't taste the taste still thinking about them 😢

also Trident Layers were GOOD. i was obsessed with them for like a year in middle school. i can still taste them now. but it's funny, since i left school i haven't thought about buying gum once lol.
