Is there any snack food (I'm talking an actual type of snack food, not just a brand.etc, that was widely available in supermarkets) that was common in the 90s but is nigh impossible to find today? One example I can think of here in Australia are the Crunch Muesli Bars (made mainly by Uncle Tobies, but different brands) which I remember as a kid but haven't seen for ages.

Pizzeria Chips made by Keebler

They had 3 types..cheese,pepperoni,and supreme........  man i miss those

Sprinkle Spangles cereal.

Fruit Roll Ups & Fruit Wrinkles.

Orbitz drink.

...I'll try to think of more.

Are Dunkaroos still around?

The good Starburst. This was before they modifided the good flavors. :P

Oh gosh, there was this one fruit snack I remember, it was called "Fruit String Thing" by Betty Crocker.  It was a "string" that was fruit flavored candy, and it was laid down on a piece of cardboard (looked like a picture, or was sometimes just a swirl), and you peeled it from the cardboard and ate it--good stuff.

Does Shock Tarts ring a bell? I remember these as being sweet-tart like but stronger in flavor.

A lot of fruit snacks I remember are no longer around. There were these Garfield ones and another kind shaped like this bear family and a unicorn friend of theirs.

Yeah...I remember the heyday of fruit snacks in the mid-90s when I was in elementary school. Everybody showed off their fruit roll ups and fruit wrinkles competitively...I always felt left out for not having them. And Gushers were much more common until the early '00s. Also, remember the Cap'N Crunch commercials from the mid-90s? I remember them being very distinctive.

Combos are hard to find these days... for those who aren't familiar, they are pretzel tubes stuffed with cheese.  I sometimes find them in convenience stores, but I can't find them in the grocery stores anymore.

Another few snacks from Australia that were around in the early 90s that you can't get anymore were Muncheros (which were just corn chips shredded into smaller pieces & with sea salt on them & Arnott's Nix Nax(spelling?). They were both from about 1993 & weren't around for long if i recall.

Loved Combos and still do!  Luckily where I live they always have a nice supply at Meijers.  8)

The only one I can think of is Dunkaroos. They may still be made but I havent seen any in 7-8 years. But I do agree that even though there still around Gushers and Fruit Roll-ups seem to be a lot harder to find at least where I live anyway.

Oh yeah, combos! I used to love those things. And Dunkaroos aren't terribly common anymore.

I can't remember the full name but they were these Koala bears filled with chocolate........they were so yummy; I could eat them by the ton. 

Loved Combos and still do!

Me too. I like the pretzel/pizza and the pepperoni.

I love Combos... U can still find them though... I had some the other day... I like the old cracker ones with the cheddar but the Pretzel ones are yummy too....  LOL

Yeah, I only see them in 7-11 strangely enough (I wonder if that's just a South Bay thing, LOL).

This is more early '90s, even late '80s, but does anyone recall a snack mix called Doo Dads? They're basically identical to Chex Mix etc, but I always thought it was a teeny bit better.

P.S. Not a snack food per se, but I miss the old logo for Doritos in the pre 1993 era or so. More boxy and plain, but I liked it. :D

Yes those are the best!  8)

Those are still sold here in California.

I always Roll-ups (like Muesli Bars) were a distinctly Australian thing, but then again, I don't know much about roll-ups at all. I do remember how they would stick to my teeth and the roof of my mouth how my fingers got all sticky from picking at my teeth (from saliva mixed with sugar). They advertised them as if they were real-fruit pieces; they just happened to taste like candy.

Does Shock Tarts ring a bell? I remember these as being sweet-tart like but stronger in flavor.

Yeah, we have Shock Tarts all over the place here, although in some places the name has been changed to Sweet Tart Shockers. They're the same candy, and have pretty much the same packaging, just a slight modification to the name.

I also remember the old Pizzeria Chips. Those things were pretty good.

I haven't seen Shock Tarts in any regularity in a long time, but now and then you can find them around here. Orbits, I remember when that stuff came out, and everyone thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Combos are drowning us here, they're still pretty popular.

God, Dunkaroos were horrible.

There were these Chocolate things that had sprinkles on them, they came out about '94-'95. They also had plain. I cant think of the name of the snack.

They're still around, but now they're called "Shockers". They're really good, but they always make me feel kinda sick after eating them.

I loved those things. Doritos came out with a pizza flavour for a while after that, but those are gone too. Shame.

Sno-Caps?  If you're talking about Sno-Caps they actually were around in the late 70's, I think... then they disappeared (as far as I know) for a long time, and reappeared in movie theater snack bars during the 90's... They come in the same type of package as Goobers and Raisin-ets.

No, they were like Chex cereal pieces, covered with chocolate.

I heard those Fizzy pop rocks or something were a 70s snack, but I remember them from the early 90s. Now I barely see them at all..

I agree with those who said Dunkaroos.  My mother always thought they were too sugary so I had to go to my friend or cousin's house to get my "Dunkaroo Fix". 

Another of my favorite candies from the ninties were Cry Baby Tears, which were shaped like tear drops and had pictures of all these characters with sour faces on the back of the box.  I haven't seen them in years. 

Does anyone remember the paw-print shaped Cheetos? I used to get them all the time as a kid and one day they were gone. And even though I didn't eat them I haven't seen Dunkaroos in a long time either. And even though this isn't a snack I miss cranberry flavored Stove Top. After a while it was just out for holidays and then not at all.

I saw a really old post talking about snacks from the 90s that are no longer around - anyways - Im trying to collect examples of all the snacks I ate growing up in the 80s and 90s - (particularly boxes of kids food...etc..but other stuff like old versions of things like...oh....Hamburger Helper ..Hot Pockets..Pringles)...etc...anyways - Id like to see pictures of stuff should you run across it in the garage or basement -  maybe we could work out a trade or something - drop me a line (mankatt@aol.com) - Pete

The only ones I can think of is Amazin' Fruit and Golden Graham Treats.

Hey, how bout SURGE!!!! loved that soda, but idiots were drinking like 12 packs a day and it caused liver and kidney problems(I imagine there are a lot of things that at that volume of intake co do some damage) but it got pulled from the market.

I was wondering what happened to Surge!  LOL.  :D

Hey, I think they do still make the chocolate filled Koala bears, because I had some strawberry filled Koala bears. And the last time I was in F.Y.E. they were selling boxes of them.    :D

I loved Dunka Roos Ireally liked the one with white icing

The chocolate-filled koalas used to be called Koala Yummies. They're sold as Koala's March now. They're made by Lotte, a South Korea-Japan conglomerate. For some reason they stopped selling them in the US but they're back now. If you can't find them in a store you can always order them at lotteusainc.com

I remember going to the San Diego zoo a few years ago when I was out it CA on a choir trip, several months before the Koala Yummies had shown up in MN again, and me and a few friends more or less freaked out when we saw them at the gift shop by the koalas. I bought two and brought one home for my brother.

I remember a candy bar called "whatchamacallit"

This commercial is from 1989, but I remember it running up through the mid 90's

They still have them I just bought one a couple of weeks ago :)

Wow, had no idea Whatchamacallits were still in circulation...haven't seen one in ages

Lotsa Fizz... great flavor, cool effects as it would dissolve on your tongue and create a mound of fizzy goodness.

I thought I had lost Dunkaroos for good when I suddenly found them stored box among box on the second to bottom shelf of my local Coles Supermarket in the snack foods/lunchbox aisle.

I was insanely happy.

One food for me was Goldfish. Originally done by Petteridge farms (?) in America, a company over here in Australia adapted them and they were great but one day they just kind of vanished. It was really sad cos I really liked the tomato flavour. Oh! *bounces up and down exitedly* and mixing the cheese and tomato ones in my mouth. Tasted like crunchy cheese pizza if memory serves.

And Tang. I know that's still around here somewhere, I just haven't had it in ages (since the 90's) and it reminds me strongly of that time in my life

Magic Middles from Keebler.  I think these came out in the late 80's and seemed to vanish in the early 90's

this drink called burp something the container you pulled up and add water to and those oreo big stuff but i think that was the 80's those pizzera thingy's where good j

I remember (and really miss)  Mars bars-although the Snickers Almond Bars are pretty close

And Keebler Butter Knot Pretzels - They had just a touch of butter flavor and they were soooo yummy!!

OMG ive been wondering what those were called! i remember eating those in the seocnd grade :)

Does Shock Tarts ring a bell? I remember these as being sweet-tart like but stronger in flavor.

they're still around now they're just called "Shockers"

During the 60's until(political correctness)?
Heide candies made 'CHOCOLATE BABIES' -not as good as Tootsie Rolls' but reminded me of them...just you can't find them at a general level.

I liked "Dunk a Roos" and "Koala Yummies" :D

Yeah I don't know why they stopped making them!  I thought they were pretty neat.  :)

Seriously??

combos are still really common around here.  We even have them in most vending machines.  I guess they turned out to be kinda like Crystal Pepsi.  When they quit making it, it was still common in some places and was even still available years afterwards.

taco bell doritos

Oh I wonder wonder what's in a Wonder Ball... what ever happened to those?

I can't remember the full name but they were these Koala bears filled with chocolate........they were so yummy; I could eat them by the ton. 


They are Caramello Koalas.

You can get them here freely in Australia :)

Oh I wonder wonder what's in a Wonder Ball... what ever happened to those?


I loved those--at first under the chocolate layer there was a toy ball with a Disney figure inside.  After a few years they got rid of the toy ball/figure and just started putting candies under the chocolate layer.  They weren't as exciting after that.

Maybe a lot of kids were accidently swallowing the ball under the chocolate layer(?)

Jays Fire Balls. Hotter than those Fire Chettos and a lot tastier. 

I used to eat this thing when I was a kid and it looked like a Little Debbie oatmeal cream pie, except it was smooth and cake-like on the outside and had a pink filling.  I used to buy them at the gas station when I was young.  I cannot remember what they were called though!!!  They were SOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!!

I gthought that was a limited time promotional special.

I got one...

About 1990 to '92 or so, back at the height of the Ninja Turtles craze, Hostess was putting out a vanilla-pudding filled pie (just like their chococolate pies or lemon / apple / cherry pies) with a green glaze frosting on them.  I believe they were called Turtle Pies - or at least, that's how my best friend, Doug, and I referred to them.  The vanilla pudding was supposed to be the toxic "ooze" that mutated the Turtles, and we loved the hell out of those things.  They even had the Ninja Turtles on the wrapper.  Good times.  Good tooth-rotting, high-calorie  times.

And of course, let's not forget the classic Jolt Cola.  Someone mentioned "Surge" but I think Jolt still stands as the all time balls-to-the-wall over-caffinated originator of the "power cola."

I wish I could find a picture but....I used to find these awesome Jurassic Park popsicles at Toys R Us.  It was a wide shaped bar, mostly red, but had the T-Rex silhouette in the middle in black.  I think it was cherry-flavored, anyone remember this?

Nacho Cheese and Cool Ranch Fritos
French Onion Ruffles
Peanut butter Snickers
PB Max (it was a big dollop of peanut butter surrounded by a crunchy cookie and covered with chocolate)
Ben and Jerry's Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookie dough ice cream

I remember those. The Turtles had a little bit of everything with there face and name on it back then, like that horrible cereal that came out around 1989 or 1990. 8-P

Hard to believe it's been almost 20 years.

u no wat i liked those push pops and those doridoey thingys i thing there called tingotos i dont no they don't sell those any more    >:( :\'(
