there’s nothing more nostalgic than the taste of the burnt pudding with sprinkles in a kid cuisine

[strawby]

The thing with crush cups is that you can do that with literally any other yogurt cup

[BugsyFoga]

I can still recognize the taste of yogos, even after it’s been discontinued.

[marvelousmrsmads]

I cannot overstate how much I enjoy the topics, editing, pacing, and care you put into your videos. They’re like a welcome hug from the long-forgotten parts of my childhood

Thinking back, it's weird that Baby Bottle Pop was a thing. Older Kids to Early Teens were encouraged to dip an impression of a Pacifier into candy sugar and suck it. And in an age where seeming Adult and Mature was THE most important thing on the playground, I don't recall ever thinking it was Infantile or weird. And I don't recall anyone being bullied for enjoying one in public.

The way those Extra dessert flavored gums hit me right in the memories. I used to go through those like crazy in high school.

Juicy Drop was always advertised on Cartoon Network, and I was honestly surprised to learn it still is being sold

[Leafpool]

Those oreo hexagons were actually genuinely so good and i think about them all the time. They did not taste like oreos but they were still chocolatey and as someone who didnt like oreo frosting they were great for me.

[Crenga]

i will forever think the "food as toys" concept was enriching for us as kids and defend it until the day i die

[Grace-vqcq]

The layered gum was actually super juicy and good! One of the layered candy/snack that was actually good. I would always ask my mom to get me some when she went shopping

[rosemulet]

I wish they would bring some of these back, it’s so sad to see a product you loved suddenly disappear off of shelves one day never to return :(

[atlababe]

Yogos was EVERYTHING. What I’d give for those guys to make a comeback. My brothers & I were borderline addicted to them. The closest substitute I’ve found is the Welch’s Fruit & Yogurt snacks

[JUSTFlavaTown]

The bubble Hershey was based off a popular Japanese Chocolate bar called Aero. Might be a preference thing but I loved the texture.

[bmbrshblsh]

the gum renaissance was insane to live through. hubba bubba glop and stride mystery gum are the two that stick out to me most from childhood.

[judemiles]

the nostalgic vibe of your videos makes it feel like i’m back in second grade talking to my best friend, thanks for the endless nostalgia trips <33

[sydney]

Dream Jelly deserves their flowers for always using a creative, topic-specific end screen for their patrons <3

[nachoslanderer]

I was so in denial that lunchables didn't taste that good, after begging my parents to buy them for me! Stacking is cool :(

[pikitat]

The Hershey's Air Delight and other chocolate bars like it are supposed to be a healthier alternative to a regular chocolate bar. It has something to do with the bubbles increasing the surface area so that when it melts in your mouth, you feel like you're eating more chocolate than you actually are. At least... that's how it works in theory. Whenever I eat one of these chocolate bars, I just feel like I ate a smaller chocolate bar 😭

[chronoblue]

The difference with the Hershey Airey delight is the texture. The airated chocolate gives it a softer fluffier feel similar to a Three Musketeers bar. I didn't realize they discontinued them.

You represent a certain era of my adolescence. Though I’m maybe a few years older than you, I still remember nearly every tv advertisement you include in your videos. Remember good ol’ television? I swear these ads are singed into our rods and cones, ears, too! Thanks so much for your content!
