they made them larger than actual life savers holes so you couldn't plug them up and create a choking hazard.

much like the same problem with donut holes this annoyed the shit out of me

>>20484991
That looks as disgusting as the name makes it sound.

>>20485002
it's literally just a vanilla pudding pie

>>20485015
It's understandable, neon green is an odd color, and "turtle pie" makes a lot of people, especially midwesterners, think of cow pies.

>>20485018
>It's understandable
i can see that, just providing my experience as an oldfag who used to buy them at the corner store

>>20485043
For sure, same here, I don't remember the taste very well, but I do remember them turning my poop green.

>>20484990

>>20485009

>>20485060
>best tasting ones were the white ones
What did they mean by this?

>>20485073
>great white is also the coolest actual shark

>>20485090
>Didn't I see that commercial recently? Like 5 years ago?
>No, that was a quarter century ago

>>20484990
shit, I remember fond memories of being a little kid and my mom letting me pick some candy and there would be a lot of interesting flavors of lifesavers, now all I can find at stores are mint or the regular assorted fruit flavors.

>>20484990
I NEED HOLES

>>20484998
>>20485004
>>20485035
for me it was hidden treasures
these tasted amazing

>>20485124
and the original kix berries
beautiful flavor
very missed

even if i buy these and eat them it wont make me a kid again

>>20485129
I still remember the song

>>20485137
it will but only for a moment
the trick is to keep remembering the moment

>>20485137
>>20485173
The sadder part of this is that most of these no longer exist at all, so you only have the memory anyway. The ones that do probably taste vastly different too, both because your tastebuds change drastically over time and companies have had to make candy and cereals "healthier". Malt-o-meal doesn't give a shit and still uses the sugary 90s recipes, so if you have something that's got a copycat on their production lines, go for it instead. I think the hardest hit was Honeycombs, it tastes like wet cardboard now.

>>20485186
I felt pretty sad last time I bought a box of frankenberry a few years ago
wasn't the same at all

>>20485084
These things were like cocaine when I was 5

>>20485009
KINOOOOO

>>20484990
>>20485064
For me? It was Kona Kreme gum

>>20485222
I remember werther's had a coffee version, I couldn't get enough of those.

???

>>20485267
It's a completely different taste and texture, sadly. It's okay, but the original was 10x better.

>>20485056
Ever notice how obsessed they were with making kids eat yogurt back in the day

>>20484991
These always looked better than they tasted, the green drew you in. But they always had too much filling to pastry ratio

>>20484997
These tasted so good

>>20485060
The white ones just tasted better.

In the 90s mario bros fruit snacks had a contest where if you found a white Princess shaped fruit snack you would win a T-shirt that said "i saved the Princess "

I found a white princess fruit snack and sent it in after keeping it in my freezer for a few weeks. But the sizes for the shirts were really small. I requested a medium (what i normally wore) but it was super small.

I still wore that T-shirt until it fell apart.

>>20485001
Those look fun to eat, but i never had them

A fucking travesty that it's gone.

>>20485012
>>20486081
After SoBe (yourself), I think Fruitopia is probably my most missed drink. There was a machine near the park us kids used to play at, and it was the perfect drink for after game cooldowns. God damn.

>>20485368
they're still doing it.
it's poison.

iykyk

>>20486118
The yellow energy one was so fucking good, Arizona iced tea RX Energy reminds me of it now. Also remember having the dragon fruit one, was delicious too but not as memorable as citrus.

>>20486140
Monster Energy Ultra Sunrise is also close in flavor, though it is carbonated.

>>20485023
Ooh, that one takes me back.

>>20485016
>>20485025
These are gone now? Kudos were good, the crispy mms were shit.

>>20485023

fuck, they don't sell any of this shit anymore? I'm kinda happy because I know it's all poison, but damn I grew up on that stuff.

I still miss them.

>>20486257
grapermelon cleared

>original rice crispy treats cereal
>tmnt ooze fruit pies
>round totinos
>those pb crunch things from planters
>m&ms minis

we used to eat the m&ms then melt a hole in the tube with a lighter stick a 7/16ths socket in it and smoke reefer out of them

They sold these when I worked at Fucking GameStop back in the day, I loved them.

>>20486628
try a nerd rope

and hang yourself with it, video games and cartoons for small children

>>20486633
I was a small child of 15. Also fuck you, nerd ropes aren't as good.

>>20486639
you can produce small children at 15, you are not one yourself.

Im legitimately impressed by the variety of manufactured goods available in America.
In most normal countries you have a few dozen large brands which control everything and you don't get more products for each category(soft drinks, chewing guns etc) than that at the national level.
Americans are living it large. Man, you guys are so lucky

>>20486764
All these goods are gone for a reason. Candy especially is dead, with only a few dozen brands still around, if that. That's not to say you don't have that variety around in some form, but it pales in comparison to the 90's and 2000's.

>>20486118
For me it's Fuze.

>>20486118
>>20485012
Leafland still has Fruitopia. If you're a burger with a passport and live near the border just drive across and buy some.

>>20486964
The cherry one was legit good.

>>20485018
1) at the time these existed literally everyone knew what TMNT was
2) turtle pie is traditionally pic related

>1999-2000
God damn was it that long ago?

>>20485654
I think you can still buy them around here in leaf land, it taste like a thin, crispy cheez it

You had to eat it off your hand.

Only had it once... was insanely delicious.

>>20487001
It's been a quarter of a century.
>>20487010
You're... supposed to put it on fruit.

just isn't the same anymore, they took out all of the grapefruit sourness leaving just weak fizzy pineapple, then rebranded it as a fanta flavour taking away the soulful can design

>>20487252
Nobody carried around fruit get real. You got it off the ice cream truck, does he have fruit? No.

>>20487291
then put it on ice cream you dick

>>20487300
Shut up you zoomer fuck nobody did that. You clearly weren't alive when Lucas was a thing. GET OUT!

>>20487242
They're back, under the Good Humor brand.

>>20486118
the jews stole my lizard drink

>>20487308
remember kids taking it to school and giving you bumps to eat off your hand like cocaine

>>20486807
I hardly ever eat sweets anymore but recently looked through the candy aisle for the first time in years. It's mostly just a million different """gormet""" chocolates now, all the weird fruit flavored stuff like this is gone. idk I guess it's because helicopter parents don't let their kids have candy anymore so now it's mostly stuff marketed to adults

>>20487010
wait what
they don't make lucas anymore?

>>20487252
>>20487300
what a retard lmao

>>20486118
I miss SoBe(It) so much. And I barely ever had them growing up. Soul.

>>20487010
The new thing is Tajin. Same shit.

>>20486964
miss it so much, feel like shit every day since it left

>>20487958
tajin is not the same as lucas
you are insane

>>20484991
those things looked so delicious in the commercials. I made my old man take me places to find one... after I finally got one, it was thoroughly disgusting.

And it's still a great memory.

>>20486015
These were awesome. They were like nutter butters but easier to eat.

>>20484991
Cumming inside turtles….

>>20484990
that name is too suggestive

>>20487958
cringe tajinvirgin vs based lucaschad

>>20488588
dang
why'd they stop making these
additionally they need to bring back the cherry and lime flavors and get rid of that grape and apple HORSE SHIT

I don't give a fuck if they're unhealthy. I like Yogos.

>>20489719
mom's love to buy stuff like this for their kids
and it should be allowed

>>20489733
They got rid of it because it's not "healthy" enough. Bitch, it's fruity yogurt balls. Compared to the sugary goyslop they eat this stuff was kino

>>20487010
Shitskin begone

>>20485056
This shit was delicious.

>>20485084
I remember those caps were littered everywhere on the walk home from school. thankfully my parents loved me and I never actually drank one myself.

>>20490129
It was basically pre-made kool-aid with double the sugar.

>>20489667
I don't know, but the later chewy runts with grape and green apple was lame. Blue raspberry and watermelon were great flavors and felt like a proper progression of the candy.

Pic related was nasty.

>>20486122

Enjoy your stomach implosion I guess

Give me back my lizard milk, Pepsi

>>20490739
>Blue raspberry and watermelon were great flavors and felt like a proper progression of the candy.
fuck you

>>20486118
>SoBe
I've never had this, but the bottle design is so distinctly late 90s/early 00s, it hurts my soul.

>>20487010
I thought they had lead or some shit
Stopped seeing being made for some time
It was great though

>>20490903
the pina colada one was great the green tea was shit

>>20486118
For me? It's the pink one

>>20491104
The original boba

>>20491046
how the fuck did they get away with calling that a granola bar?

and speaking of granola bars, is it just me or do quaker chewy bars not taste as good as they used to?

>>20491766
It wasn't a regulated term, so anyone could release anything and call it granola. They capitalized on that by packing styrofoam into bricks and drizzling "chocolate" on top.

>>20485009
They don't make these anymore?

>>20484990
Did you make this video or did you seriously just copy all the same pics OP lol

https://youtube.com/shorts/87L6PkzkUV0?si=0qqU6gWvoeTX5Awh

>>20492131
Nah, Snackwells were based entirely on the old "fat is bad, fat free is healthy" belief, so they were packed with sugar and sweeteners and were abhorrently unhealthy by most metrics, so they were axed when people realized "oh shid, sugar is pretty much poison in these amounts".

>>20492131
>no high fructose corn syrup
>no partially hydrogenated oil
Of course they don't fucking make these anymore.

>>20491104
Back when this came out I read about this in a magazine and only saw it at a hugely overpriced import store once or twice. Never got to try it.

>>20486122
real yogurt is great. over-pasteurized food coloring goo is bad.

>>20485645
neat, thank you for sharing anon

>>20492243
That tracking code doe..
Clean that shit up next time.

>>20492389
Was disgusting. Could never get used to a liquid having odd chunks in it

>>20486222
Poochie?

looks like all this shit died for good reason

>>20485063
I wanted this shit so desperately as a child.

>>20485012
kiwiberry ruckus my nigga

The drink concoctions I used to make with this stuff. And NO, Starry is not an alternative.

>>20493353
Don't forget Proto-Energy Drank

>>20490900
You know I'm telling the truth.

>>20490900
>>20493700
You gotta admit--Holds true for Jolly Ranchers/
Next up: Black cherry

>>20486222
These were the shit gn2mx

>>20493722
Wasn't Black Cherry flavor sweeter than normal cherry?

>>20493753
I don't remember those being a sweettarts brand but they were good

>>20493762
IDK about sweeter...but it was a little moar refined.
Those lil bitches always crowded the bag at the end of it.

>>20493700
I'd mag dump this shit onto my tongue until I had a whole sips worth as a kid

>>20486118
>>20490903
Always wanted to try one but never did

>>20493700
absolutely not
you ruined runts and you ruined lifesavers and you ruined skittles too

>>20493753
I just remember shocktarts no longer exist
wtf
I guess they were too similar to spree? shocktarts were definitely better tho

>>20485966
I asked an ice cream man for one of these a few months ago then he gave me the bad news.
