Remember when snack time was the highlight of your day? The 90s were packed with treats that we all loved, and honestly, some of them were way too good to be discontinued. Yet here we are, stuck with memories instead of munchies. Whether it’s the neon colors, weird flavors, or just the pure nostalgia, these snacks had a vibe that today’s options just can’t match.
Doritos 3D
A nostalgic 90s snack, Doritos 3D added a new dimension to the typical flat tortilla chip with its inflated shape and zesty crunch. Available in flavors like Jalapeño Cheddar, these were perfect for those who loved a textural twist on the classic Doritos experience. Discontinued in the early 2000s, they left a 3D hole in hearts everywhere.
Altoids Sours
Known for their bold sour taste, Altoids Sours were not for the faint of heart. These hard candies came in various fruit flavors, offering a puckering experience with every piece. Their discontinuation left sour lovers yearning for their tangy fix.
Butterfinger BB’s
These mini peanut butter and chocolate balls offered the crunchy and flaky peanut butter texture of a traditional Butterfinger bar in a poppable format. Popular in the 90s and early 2000s, Butterfinger BB’s were a staple at movie theaters.
Planters Cheez Balls
These iconic neon orange cheese balls were a favorite for their crispy outer shell and cheesy melt-in-your-mouth interior. After being discontinued, fans clamored for their return, leading to a limited-time revival years later.
Dunkaroos
Dunkaroos provided the ultimate snack time fun with cookies you could dunk in frosting. Each pack came with a handful of cookies and a small tub of vanilla or chocolate frosting, making them a hit at school lunches. Discontinued in the U.S. in 2012, they’ve recently made a comeback due to popular demand.
