Treats From Your Childhood You Might Not Realize Were Discontinued

Nothing takes us back to our childhood like our favorite snacks. Memories are made while celebrating a win over Capri Sun and Otter Pops or trading Cheetos for Ho-Hos at lunch time.

But not all snack foods were made to stand the test of time. You might recognize these 12 treats from your childhood that have actually been discontinued.

1. The new and improved lollipop:

Maybe this one is better off staying in the past.

Reeses in all shapes and sizes are unquestionably delicious.

We’re sad to see them go, but we’re glad we got to enjoy these snacks while they were still around.

So maybe Hubba Bubba Squeeze Pops were never meant to be long for this world, but why on Earth were Reeses Peanut Butter Cup bites ever discontinued?! Who doesn’t want more peanut butter goodness per bite?

Dunkaroos Are Making a Comeback

If you grew up in the 1990s, there are a few things you’ll never forget. Chain wallets. Hey Arnold! Tamagotchis.

So many awesome TV shows, movies, games and snacks were intertwined with my childhood.

And while I am only two years away from turning 30, I am just as excited as the rest of my ’90s brethren about a serious snack comeback. 

I’m not kidding, guys. Dunkaroos are back.

The news became official the day after the Super Bowl with a video clip featuring popular fads from the decade.

General Mills stopped producing Dunkaroos in the United States in 2012. Though they were available online and in Canada up until 2018, the previously popular snack seemed all but retired.

The news of its rebirth sounded like a rounding up of the troops on Twitter.

The snack is set to hit shelves this summer.

And let’s just say the impending sugar rush when you pair Dunkaroos and a Disney flick is going to be epic.

The ’90s generation also featured a number of hit TV series that still exist in today’s streaming-based environment.

Not even the superheroes could escape from Dunkaroos’ delicious reach.

Of course, there will always be detractors/haters/people who don’t appreciate delicious nostalgia.

Obviously this guy must’ve been more of a Go-Gurt fan during his heyday.

For others, the reintroduction of the childhood snack measured up with a few other pretty significant events.

I guess it’s all about perspective, right?

While the launch date is still to be announced, it might be time to get started on your Summer 2020 body now. Because by the time Dunkaroos have danced their way back into stores, all your New Year’s resolutions will go out the door right alongside your favorite ’90s kids snack.
