Fun Facts About Your Favorite 90s Foods 

Dunkaroos, Viennetta, Gushers, Orbitz, Fruitopia, and the extensive Snapple flavor line.

I think my first real taste of disappointment was being handed a microwaved kid cuisine and I was raised with a single parent 😂. That penguin lied. I had no fun with that meal.

I’m a 2000’s baby never saw the 90’s but I still felt very nostalgic about all these foods

90's best decade ever in all of history. If you weren't around I feel sorry for ya.

Best time to be a kid, in literally every way. Music, movies, cartoons, toys, and the food. I may be bias...but I'm also right!

1:16 "room temperature ice cubes" I guess if the room is below freezing.

B.S. Most, if not all of these entries, regardless of when they were released, shot to fame in the 70s. I was produced in the 60s, so all of this stuff was well established by the 90s.

This has become one of my favorite channels, but thanks for making me feel old!

Growing up in the Seventies, my family ate a lot of Hamburger Helper. There was also Tuna Helper.

The 1990s were definitely memorable

Finally, a lost that doesn't crap all over 90s food. I love my crappy 90s stuff! Lol Sunny D was a staple in my family!

...I literally never think of the Star Wars prequels, given the only one released in the 90's was the first one; the other two were in the early 2000's. Young Anakin Skywalker doesn't exactly come to mind when I think about 1993-1998.

Fish sticks, apple sauce, and mac & cheese was a real treat.

Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s with a working mom spaghetti o’s , hamburger helper, and bologna sandwiches were definitely my diet staples as was instant breakfast 🤭

😂she has to be joking that nobody ate Salisbury steak between the 50s and 90s. It was a school cafeteria staple

"I want that purple stuff"

I was kinda hoping for gushers, fruit roll up or fruit by the foot. Or the bubblegum in the bandaid tins

For a second there, I thought "You can eat Chia Pets?"

I'm a senior citizen and I still love fish sticks. BTW, stuffed crust pizza was a direct result of the dairy industry pushing to include more dairy products in different kinds of food.

Born December ’85 I was a 90’s child. The best decade ever!

I remember that those Kid Cuisine commercials always talked about how you could find them in your "grocer's freezer". For some reason I always heard that as your "ferocious freezer", so I pictured them going around to find if any of the freezers were ferocious.

90s stuff! Yay! I feel older now! 😂

I could totally go for a bologna sandwich right now.

Hamburger Helper and Spaghetti-O’s go way, way back….long before the 90’s. I ate those in the 1970’s.

Ngl, that Japanese stuffed crust pizza sounds really good

A+ video! Awesome foods!

The powerful 90s nostalgia

Awesome video, Weird History Food! I love the theme of this one, I ate quite a few of these in the 90s. If you can, I would love to see more of this topic if not part 2 to this video!

I remember my grandma used to have Sunny Delight in her refrigerator. I would drink it sometimes when I visited her after school. I haven't had Sunny D for over 20 years.

Why were people mad at sunny delight and not the adult allowing a baby to drink massive amounts of a sugar drink?

I was never a huge fan of Spaghettios, but I probably ate my weight several times over in Chef Boyardee canned ravioli. That and Kraft Mac and cheese.

When I think of the '90s, I think of grunge rock, Michael Jordan...and my mother's favorite story to tell about my childhood. I was a skinny kid, and never ate lunch at school, preferring to wait until after school so I could go home and eat food that actually tasted good. This did not stop a school administrator from calling my mother in for a meeting about "we think your son is developing an eating disorder." My mom, furious at losing an afternoon out of her life to suffer fools, brought a grocery receipt...a LONG grocery receipt...and said "does this look like someone with an eating disorder to you?" She then threatened to call in a favor with her friends on the school board to get the administrator fired if they didn't stop meddling in her sons' eating habits. As for what I ate in the '90s (I graduated high school in '95), I offer two words that anyone who grew up in New England will instantly recognize: Super. Beef.

The kid cuisine segment unlocked a core memory for me. Need to call my mom now to tell her thank you for putting up with me

The Sound of Music is my mother's favorite film.

I was definitely expecting lunchables to be on here

Sunny delight was real popular in the 80s also

Some of the crew I detassled with called me "Raw SpaghettiOs Boy" when I would bring SpaghettoOs in my lunch and eat them straight out of the can.

This made me miss my childhood even more

favorite 90's foods ... thats been the favorite since the 1890's

I was a Tang guy myself but man those Kid cuisine and lunchables were a kids go to.

_Jimmie Rodgers_ did the Spaghetti O's jingle? As in, the father of country music? Definitely counts as my coolest new fact learned this day.

Hey! Molly Schuyler at 5:12! "...not enough to fill any bellies..." and you flash Molly?! Your editor has a real sense of humor. 🤣🤣👍

I love this show and how there's references to other episodes on this channel: Still not bored of this 🙂 Gonna go with stuffed-crust pizza on that one 🍕

It's not Sunday but I'll take it!

Sunny Delight - Drink it whenever I have eggs and bacon for breakfast or when I have a cold Spaghetti-Os - have it was a side dish to this day like with pork chops Bologna - Another breakfast food as a sandwich with toast, cheese and mustard. Usually had it by itself or with cereal Hamburger Helper - Not my favorite as a kid and I still don't care for it Molten Chocolate Cake - Never had it but I want to try it! Fish Sticks - I preferred breaded fish patties to them. Often ate them with the earlier mentioned Spaghetti-Os Salisbury steak - Hate it as a kid, always disliked it's flavor and how fatty is was Stuffed crust pizza - Love it, wish I had it more often... Kid Cuisine - Never had it, just had the small Banquet frozen meals instead

Uh-oh Spaghetti-O's!

Oh hey! I work at the harbor where the boat at 7:51 moors! She's called the Kulshan.

This reminds me of my cravings for that stuff crust pizza back then

🤣🤣 *"Regardless of what they are made of"* @7:50 😂😂😂

I prefer the purple stuff

I spontaneously remembered the old kid cuisines with the funpacks in the early 90's earlier today. my dumb toddler ass loved those things back then with their brightly colored stickers and mazes/puzzles. fun times

Room temperature ice cubes...

I'm interested in the histories of Sloppy Joes Vs. Manwich or even seperate vids.

I can't handle the additives any more but I still make a healthier version of Hamburger Helper that's pretty close to original .

I was the 420th like ❤❤❤❤

In the UK we don't call em "fish sticks" but "Fish fingers". I have no idea why.

I'm not familiar with American foods but these are such interesting foods. I definitely am a fan of salisbury steak though... it's so good.

Star Wars prequels in the 90s? What? Phantom Menace came out in 99, the prequels are definitely an aughts thing.

I enjoyed your video -- and all the Weird Food History videos! -- but I count it as further proof that young people today don't believe that anything in the world existed before they were born. That is to say, I was born in the mid-1960s, and almost every single item in this video was a common part of the American middle-class family diet when I was growing up; so, you could've removed one or two truly 90s items and retitled it "Fun Facts About Your Favorite 70s Foods." The Oscar Mayer commercial clip shown (of the kid on the dock singing) was from the mid-70s, and everyone I knew, child or adult, could sing that jingle from memory. Oscar Mayer baloney, Spaghetti-Os (another jingle that every 70s kid knew), fish sticks, Salisbury steak, Hamburger Helper -- all of these things were common food staples in the 1970s and considered old hat by the 90s; sorry to break it to ya, kids, but they were all around long before you were. 😁

Sunny D, Kids Cuisine! The memories, I miss them! This video put a smile on my face! I am going to buy some next time I am at the store! 😂❤

My kid's were little then and the cartoons were great. Rocket power, catdog, hey Arnold.

I can't help but point out that only Phantom Menace came out in the 90's and even then in 1999. The release of the updated OT (and subsequent backlash) feels much more 90s to me.

The same thing would have happened to the baby if he were given a lot of carrots. Way healthier than a sugary drink.

Hahahahahahah Molly Schuyler clip during hamburger helper bit. 😂😂😂 she hated it.

I remember all of this food stuff from my childhood in the 90's

The 90s were way better than today's 2020s. Unlike today, economy and affordability were way better, life was much more carefree, TV shows and videogames were at the peak and wholesome, and there was hope for a better future.

I grew up Roman Catholic, in the pre Vatican II times when you didn't eat meat on Fridays, and fish sticks were a popular meal

Love the 90's

Most of these were the popular kids foods I ate in the 70's. I am really surprised some of them were still popular in the 90's. I just assumed they had better stuff by then. Poor kids. 🙂 Are any of these still popular?

None of the foods in the thumbnail are from the 90s. They all pre-date the 90s by 10-20 years.

I like how most of this list was stuff that was super popular (and perhaps more popular) in the 80's, 70's and 60's... Normally, Weird History Food does good videos, but this is more on the level of the crap from Mashed or Babbletop.

Please bring back Rice Oriental... It was awesome... ❤😊 👍

Growing up, I would eat my spaghettios cold, straight out of the can. Don't ask me why, but it just taste better that way lol

good video

Whn you think of the 90s, you might think of a move that came out in 2005.

If Sunny D taught me anything, it was every family fridge in America had the exact same drinks, including purple stuff, in them. Not only that, but in the exact same order, too.

2:48 - and in Pittsburgh, we call it jumbo

Ironically enough, I never eaten Spaghetti O’s or Chef Boyardee at any point in my lifetime. Also I was born in 1998, and my brothers were born in 1993 and 1995 respectively. We didn’t have some of the things that were mentioned in this video despite how popular they were during the 90’s.

“The Ocean’s Hot Dog” 😂😂

I did not expect the Islanders Gortons Fisherman to pop up 😂

I'm 32 and still love Spaghettios, oddly tasty especially when drunk.

Just because they’re available in the 90s don’t make them 90s food.

3:25 “ey, you better not make this meat again, capishe !?”

I once went to a gas station and saw one of their coolers have OJ, soda, some weird purple drink, and Sunny D.

The 1990s had it going good.

So many missing things! Squeez-it, square pizza (dominator, big foot), SoBe, Snapple, pizza bagels, pizza rolls, corn nuts, etc!

As a kid I ate TONS of carrots. I was planning on a lucrative life as Bugs Bunny. I'm 48 for reference. I turned orange. My Mom was a Nurse, she knew I was fine. 😊😊 If only we'd thought to sue the carrot industry to bankroll my life as Bugs!

Oh man that makes me miss my childhood

To be fair the Star Wars prequels existed in the 1990s for exactly 233 days. Also... "room temperature ice cubes" lmaoooooo

I was born a few years before 2000… these are all things I’ve grown up with

Room temperature ice cubes LOL

We currently have most of these items in our kitchen.

Outro be like: "I keep forgettin' every time that you're neeeearrrr"

kid cuisine: the best goddamned brownies I ever ate (after a week of eating straight pasta)

(1:16) “…Room temperature ice cubes “ - I am now convinced that this channel is run by an AI bot. 😂

I grew up eating chocolate, but sometimes lemon, pudding cakes in the 80's made by my mother and grandmother. I admit that I can't recall ever going to TGI Fridays. I've been to an Applebee's a few times and a ruby Tuesdays once. I never heard the phrase molten chocolate cake until sometime after 2000. I think there might be some history missing here.

I remembered hamburger helper asked for 1/2 a pound....but y'all know we used a pound. Lol.

The turtles ate dominos in the first movie 🤓

12:20 "...if the kids don't buy them..." Found a typo lol

so foods that were popular in the 90s but not started in the 90s. Always hated bologna and ham. Not many pork products I eat now that I'm older tbh.
