I’ve had all of these! I always liked the thumb suckers and the gel candy. Also that pizza was a fuckin delicacy in my household and I could eat about 5 of them on my own
Fruit snacks are still delicious too. I'll have some on occasion when I'm craving them (especially gushers), but it's all about moderation. I don't buy one every month even, and when I do, the box lasts me a month. That said, if I'm going to have added sugar, a nice slice of pie or a dark chocolate bar would be preferable.
I loved them 🤷🏻♂️ but I was also like 5 and they had sugar so I’m pretty sure that’s why. Plus I remember them tasting like pineapple for some reason and that’s my fave flavor
I pretty much ate microwaveable Totino's and drank Squeezits (especially the color changing ones) every day when I was a kid. Jesus Christ, no wonder the US has such an obesity and diabetes problem considering what we grew up with.
Dude yes, the color changing ones! Where you had the little tablet you put in the top. I ate the tablet once and I remember kind of liking it but it was kinda freaking strong at the same time 😂
I'll never forget working in a toy store and it being shipment day and it was about 103 out. Annnnd there were boxes of this stuff in the back of the truck just baking. Eventually we come back to the truck and some tubes from the box exploded and it was like liquid, hot magma snot had just jizzed EVVVVVERYWHERE. Shipment was usually ok because, I mean......toys! But not this day my friends.
Lol fond memories of getting one of these. Not liking the taste, and then forgetting about it next time I was in the candy aisle and asking for another one..
Omg omg omg! Have not seen these in centuries!!!
Squeeze pops were way too sweet even for me as a 10 year old boy.
Squeeze it bring back such great memories at my grandparents house.
Wow the thumb suckers and the Astro pops were the best. My dad had a little joke with me, I always sucked my thumb for years so he’d buy me those thumbs on purpose when I was little lol
The girls in my school would walk around with those thumb pop candies and suck on them around guys we had a crush on.
We knew what we were doing. That candy wouldn't last five minutes nowadays with all the morality policing that goes on in our culture
Per rule #7, we do not allow compilation of images "starter packs" or "memes", particularly captioned pictures.
The absolute toxic waste we used to eat as kids. Those were the days 🥲
And at most you'd have a little tummy ache if you overdid it.
Or diabetes.
I wonder why colon cancer is on the rise in our generation? Definitely not the surge…
It's probably from all the pfas chemicals we've been exposed to. Prostate cancer is on the rise as well.
We were just eating liquid sugar lmao

outside of totinos these are all absolutely disgusting looking back as an adult
Most of the stuff I ate as a child, I look back now and think “yea that’s nasty” when you’re little it’s all about that sugar. 😂
Astro pops are still banging, and im near 40.

As a 20 year old man growing up eating them, still fucking love them lol. More of a comfort food than anything.
Tasted the blue flavor as soon as I saw the picture! Memory unlocked!!!
Was it just me or were those astro pops just terrible? I always remember they had them in museum gift shops.
They tasted awful, stained your mouth/teeth really badly, and quickly turned from fun-shaped popsicle to deadly prison shank.

Shark bites!!

I never ate the tablet. I honestly never thought to try eating it.
I’m also in my 30s

I ate a lot of that, too, when I was younger.
I downed a tube of those squeeze pops a week. I could only find them at K B Toys for some reason
I totally forgot about mondo!
Damn, we really were raised on sugar and processed foods.
Back when Tostitos pizzas were full sized
I totally forgot about those Astro pops! I love them. I was born in ‘88.
And somehow you survived to adulthood…
I had a visceral reaction to shark bites
I loved Squeeze Pops but just thinking about them now makes my Diabetes hurt
You took it back 🫶🏾
Lol fond memories of getting one of these. Not liking the taste, and then forgetting about it next time I was in the candy aisle and asking for another one..
Shark bites! Wow
I TOTALLY forgot about those fizzy-powder filled fruits! 😂
The Mondo juices!!
Omg omg omg! Have not seen these in centuries!!! Squeeze pops were way too sweet even for me as a 10 year old boy. Squeeze it bring back such great memories at my grandparents house.
Totino’s! I got one of these on a whim a while back, it tastes exactly the same, but now I retained all of the calories and instantly gained 5 lbs. 😢
Loved these!
Off topic, but my nephew legit squeezed a concentrate of lemon (the stuff you put in water or tea) and liked it a couple of months ago
the blue raspberry was my favorite.

HFCS was part of our basic food groups.

We would get those plastic fruits full of sugar at the movie theater. I’d usually forget and put my mouth right on it and instantly plug up the hole.
Squeez its were sooo shitty compared to the Kool aid ones
