You never had those 2 Chinese snacks from 1980s!

I think Mexican and Chinese snacks can make great friends 😌

As kids we would carry salt and chilli powder in paper like this. On the way to school or coming back we would pluck or pelt stones at all type of tangy fruits like tamarind, raw mango, star fruits or tree sorrel. Those were the most happiest, care free days of my life. I miss my childhood. I am from Karnataka, India.
Occasionally we would also try our hands on custard apple, Gauva, Indian Jujube, black plum based on the season. Our seniors would help us by climbing the trees and plucking the fruits for us.

Growing up in the West Indies, it was green mango with salt and pepper. We eat that until we can't hear or see anymore. So good.

Love that you share your childhood memories with us. Thanks!

i cant believe how 2 powerdery flavoring things make a good snack and the fact that its sweet and spicy

[jazzedaboutcheese]

Damn, 80s Chinese kids were hardcore. Just straight up chili powder as a snack 😂

The "big head" pickle is a 'Zha cai'.

I am Mexican so chili powder with sugar and pickles were snacks that I had as a kid too! I am glad that this is a shared experience .😊

I love her energy and the way she pronounces crunchy😭😭🙏🙏💗

[cottoncandyaddict]

Mexicans can totally relate to the chili powder type spicy flavors mixed with sugar, there’s an entire line of candy that is solely that! A lot of it is tamarind too which is absolutely delicious

[renecherian]

As a south Indian, after school we'd rush to buy pickled gooseberries n mangoes. We'd also sneak in sachets of pickles n pickle juice to munch on in class😅😅😂

[senpai]

reminds me of me and my mexican friends in school when we used to put tajin in our hands and eat it just like that 😂 any hispanics that can relate?

Reminds me of my favorite snack growing up in San Antonio, Tx in the 70's...
For a quarter, we'd get a Huge sour or dill pickle + a tiny paper bag filled with salted dried plums. We would stuff the salted plum deep into the center of the pickle that way, by the time you got down to the salted plum, it would have absorbed all that briney
Awe, ..good times 💕

[veronicatiffany]

Never would have expected those to be snacks at kids love!

[DarkAngel_Karen]

This just makes me think of mango! I love chilli powder, sugar and salt with mango (can be green or ripe or a mix of both)
So delicious! 😍

Just a warning to the people wanting to try the pickle; it's called mustard pickles (Zha cai in Chinese) that has an funky smell because it's fermented and I would say its a few levels funkier than kimchi. But, I it in soups :)

the chilli and sugar seems delicious to me!!! Imagine mixing in some peanuts or roasted sesame seeds 😍

Growing up in the Philippines, we just grab guava, mangos or tamarinds that grow wild along the city streets -- simpler times

[K.Mac.]

Us Black people used to mix Kool-Aid and sugar powders in ziplock bags and much on it all day. The combination of sour and sweet was perfect! I know somebody out there can relate!

[kaylyntalkington]

I need to try this massive pickle. I need the crunch.

This is so cute. It's so nice to taste your favorite childhood snacks and it brings back a wave of nostalgia
