Snacks From The 90s and 00s That Defined Your Childhood And Made You The Person You Are Today
If you think back to the simpler times of the 90s and 00s, the first thing that will probably pop into your head is Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse and Juicy Couture velour tracksuits. But if you move past those disastrous items and focus on the food, you'll be left with nostalgic memories of after school snacks and seriously questionable drinks (honestly Mum, why was I allowed to drink so many Panda Pops and Kwenchy Kups? There was like a million grams of sugar in each one...).
So, let's forget about all that what-the-hell-were-we-thinking 90s and 00s fashion, and think about the snacks that defined our childhoods. And, please also take this opportunity to mourn the loss of so many of them.
R.I.P. Kelloggs' Bananas Bubbles. Forever in our hearts.
