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.

2. But these MUST be brought back:

The only Altoids worth eating.

3. How could they ever go?

Reeses in all shapes and sizes are unquestionably delicious.

4. RIP Orange Slice

Orange you grateful for all the memories we shared?

5. What an awful trick!

Talk about sLIMEy…

6. Quick, enjoy this Nesquik cereal!

Oops, too late, it’s discontinued.

7. This is almost cruel:

At first they seem like regular Skittles, but THEN…

Whatever fruits your loops, man.

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?

Discontinued Snacks That Millennials Will Remember

If there’s one thing that Millennials love, it’s remembering all the things they enjoyed from their childhood, in an attempt to escape the stressors of present reality.

And when it comes to stress, what’s better than turning to comfort food?

I’m talking Pop Tarts, Sunny D, Waffle Crisp. The kind of snacks you wished your parents would stock the cabinets with.

Unfortunately, not all snack foods stand the test of time. So instead of visiting the vending machine, let’s take a moment to honor these 14 discontinued snacks millennials will remember.

1. Allow me to break the ice:

WOW, I forgot how strong these guys were.

2. The fancy man’s snack:

You can never go wrong with peanuts. Unless you’re allergic.

Image Credit: BuzzFeed

3. That’s so twisted:

How could they ever do away with Twisted Puffs?!

Image Credit: BuzzFeed

4. Speaking of Twist…

Wait, this was a thing? Ew…

Image Credit: BuzzFeed

5. The real tragedy here:

Never forget. The cereal of cereals.

Image Credit: BuzzFeed

Too much tart, not enough pop.

Part of what makes Oreos so satisfying is the crunchy, creamy mouth feel.

Ok, so maybe there’s a reason some of these snack foods were taken off the shelf. Not every idea is a winner. Besides, we’ve gotta make room for the snacks of future generations.

But Waffle Crisp. Waffle Crisp deserved so much better.

Millennials Will Definitely Remember These Things

Millennials are defined as anyone born between 1981 and 1996. We get a lot of heat for ruining basically everything but really all we want to do is escape from the pressures of adulting by seeking comfort in the memories of our childhood.

If you’re a Millennial looking for a moment of escape, see if you remember these 13 things that contributed to Millennial childhood experience.

1. So satisfying:

Like returning a library book.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

2. Ah, youth:

Field trips = school sanctioned adventures.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

3. I’m parched:

These will go great with our Hercules plates.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

4. Idk about this one:

I remember the texture of these being…weird.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

5. I still miss this:

The best phones have physical keyboards.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

6. The good old days:

Back when the playground equipment could give you splinters for days…

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

7. Simpler times:

…and building with these bricks made you feel super strong.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

8. Try blowing on it:

Do you see a scratch?

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

9. Why don’t we still have this?

Forget ball pits! I want to race Mario carts!

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

10. Ice, ice baby:

Stay frosty.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

11. The evolution of the mixtape:

And the best gift for your current crush.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

12. Let there be light:

There once was a time where not every device was backlit.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

13. I can’t explain it:

But I remember.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

Ah, that’s better. As Millennials we get a bad rap, but honestly, I think we’re lucky. We were lucky to grow up when we did. We got to experience the world before and after the turn of the millennium, and the rise of social media. And no matter how stressful life gets, we’ll always have those memories to keep us going.

Which one of these memories gives you the warm fuzzies? Let us know in the comments!

Classic TV Theme Songs That’ll Trigger Any Millennial’s Childhood Nostalgia

Once in a while, my brain will randomly remember the opening song for Sonic Adventure 2 – and then I can’t get it out of my head for a full week. Moments from childhood have a way with sticking around like that.

Here are 14 classic TV theme songs that are sure to bring back any Millennial’s most buried childhood memories.

1. Sister, Sister

Tia and Tamera truly are the GOATs for this one. Seriously, they didn’t have to turn it out like this.

2. Animaniacs

This absolutely wild cartoon defined my entire personality for a good five years.

3. Doug

Those catchy whistles are the mark of a true musical genius.

4. Malcolm in the Middle

I still can’t believe Bryan Cranston was in this show.

5. Hey Arnold!

Helga was the ultimate role model. That was girl who really knew how to stand up for herself and own her power. I, too, aim to endearingly call the object of my desire “football head.”

6. Zoom

I felt like I reached another plane of existence every time I watched Zoom

7. As Told By Ginger

This show got me through the roughest parts of my adolescence.

8. Rocko’s Modern Life

Rocko was an absolute fashion icon. Seriously, look at those sick prints.

9. Nick News

Fun fact – Linda Ellerbee used to visit and talk at my middle school!

10. Cow and Chicken

This show was weird beyond belief, but that’s exactly what made it true art.

11. Captain Planet

We could really use this team to fight climate change.

12. Gullah Gullah Island

This cleared my skin and cured my depression.

13. Clueless, the TV show

Ever realize that the lead actress in the TV show and the lead actress in the movie are two completely different people? Yeah, me neither.

14. Baywatch

I’m haunted by the late-night reruns of this one.

At the end of the day, a little bit of nostalgia is good for the soul. Moreover, it helps provide some distraction from the absolute mess that’s going on right now. Some escapism sure does a lot for the psyche. For example, why should I worry about my water bill when I can just reruns of As Told By Ginger? Now, that’s another level of problem solving!

What are some of your favorite TV theme songs from back in the day?

Things That Millennials Did for the Last Time

Where are all the Millennials at? Gen Y (as in “Why were we dealt this crappy hand?”) is in the house.

Only true Millennials can appreciate these 11 things Millennials did, that we will never do again. In some cases, for the better, in others…well, let’s just say kids today can’t appreciate how much simpler things were back in the day.

1. Take the packaging off of a brand new CD:

Such a satisfying feeling. That plastic was slippery.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

2. Play outside with friends:

A little part of me just died inside.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

3. Replace dead batteries w/ partially used batteries:

You want to get your moneys worth!

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

4. Log into AIM:

*sound of a door opening*

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

5. Log into Myspace:

Who’s in your top 8?

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

6. Use T9 to send a text:

I don’t miss this.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

7. Find a toy in your box of cereal:

When did plastic spoons that change color in milk stop being cool?!

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

8. Burn a Mix CD:

Mix CDs were the best gifts.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

9. Print out your MapQuest directions:

Mom wouldn’t let me leave home without this.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

10. Watch a VHS tape:

Jokes on you! I still have all of my bootleg VHS tapes!

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

11. REWIND that VHS tape:

True dat.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

Now I’m feeling all the feels.

You whipper snappers may have Disney+ but I had an entire collection of bootleg VHS tapes. Pus Myspace wasn’t nearly as addictive as social media is today, and you certainly didn’t want your parents getting one. Ah, oh well. At least we have the memories.

My fellow Millennials, which one of these do you relate to most?
