Retro gaming themed food. Did you experience any? Any fond memories? Here in the UK we got a donkey Kong ice cream lolly. Can confirm I enjoyed eating this back in 95

I only remember Super Mario and Mortal Kombat bubblegum from the 90s, and I tried the Pokemon cereal once... was that in 1999?
I also remember Pokemon gummies, not sure if maybe early 2000s, but it was still gen 1-themed. I somehow still have the pokemon gummy plastic wrap.

For my 7th birthday I had a Gameboy cake that had Mario bursting out of the screen.
Can't remember what Mario was made of, but I ate him along with my slice of cake, on top of the other assorted birthday junkfood I'd eaten that day.
Gave me the shits right bad.

I didn't even have a McDonald's in my city until 2020. I remember seeing Sonic LCD toys advertisement on TV and terribly butthurting because every Sonic fan across country would surely come for some happy meal and get it.

Closest thing to retro themed game food I had was turkish Pokemon/Digimon bubble gum, thanks to the worldwide craze on that creatures.

Also went on special a bunch, so we ended up having boxes and boxes of the stuff.

I think this would have triggered my tsim back then because of the pokeball being disfigured.
I always thought of the pokeball as one of the coolest things about Pokemon and would have loved to have a replica, so I think that is one of the things I would not have wanted because of that feeling of wasted potential.

No, but during times of pokemania a lot of sellers from other countries were more than happy to deliver their pokemon themed (and unlicensed) merch.

Imagine buying a "Pokemon" bubble gum and finding a digimon sticker inside. Because who cares, they're all -mon.

Pic related was widely popular in 90's and 00's and also had Pokemon stickers with 1st and 2nd gen inside.

There was a whole bunch of different popsicles like this, each one representing popular cartoon mascot.

Yeah, I got the Sonic one a few times as a kid because I was autistically obsessed with the Genesis games and the cartoons, but I also remembered liking the Spiderman one. I actually got the Sonic one again earlier this year after like a good 15-20 years of not having one and it was surprisingly really good. I wish I knew where to buy them from consistently instead of having to randomly find an ice cream truck by chance

Sonic, Ninja Turtles, Spongebob, Spider-man, and Tweety are the "big five". They've stayed in rotation pretty much constantly since they were introduced. I'm kind of surprised Pikachu didn't join their ranks, but I guess his licensing cost was too high.

For me it was these. I grew up on a military base and the convenience store there had them for years, well after the launch of Sonic 3. I could live without the Sonic branding (even though it is soulful) but I miss this flavour like you wouldn't believe.

Probably the many years it took before that become the norm. Everyone in the world hasn't always been obsessed with having their snacks covered in toxic levels of salt out of the bag.

Allow me to possibly further fuel your comedic outrage. Other/older brands would indeed be served plain with the salt being provided in its own little bag. Add as much of it to suit your tastes being the idea. I wouldnt be surprised to learn that at least 1 company still does it that way as its unique selling point.
As for hot and fruity, see if heinz sell a version of HP brown sauce in your region to understand.
