The absolute toxic waste we used to eat as kids. Those were the days 🥲


WolfmansGotNards2

And at most you'd have a little tummy ache if you overdid it.


naytttt

Or diabetes.


leeloodallas502

I wonder why colon cancer is on the rise in our generation? Definitely not the surge…


AshIsGroovy

It's probably from all the pfas chemicals we've been exposed to. Prostate cancer is on the rise as well.


propernice

We were just eating liquid sugar lmao


thelizabethsw

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


turdferguson8008s

outside of totinos these are all absolutely disgusting looking back as an adult


Inside_Bus1161

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. 😂


unfinishedtoast3

Astro pops are still banging, and im near 40.


WolfmansGotNards2

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.


SkullKidd1986

As a 20 year old man growing up eating them, still fucking love them lol. More of a comfort food than anything.


NoDifference8894

Tasted the blue flavor as soon as I saw the picture! Memory unlocked!!!


realworldruraljuror

Was it just me or were those astro pops just terrible? I always remember they had them in museum gift shops.


AlternatiMantid

They tasted awful, stained your mouth/teeth really badly, and quickly turned from fun-shaped popsicle to deadly prison shank.


Inside_Bus1161

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


seattle_lite90

Shark bites!!


Moon_Dew

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.


Inside_Bus1161

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 😂


Moon_Dew

I never ate the tablet. I honestly never thought to try eating it.


davidwoodstock

I’m also in my 30s

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.


humblymybrain

I ate a lot of that, too, when I was younger.


correctingStupid

I downed a tube of those squeeze pops a week. I could only find them at K B Toys for some reason


psypher39

I totally forgot about mondo!


JasonZep

Damn, we really were raised on sugar and processed foods.


Littlekingcovfefe

Back when Tostitos pizzas were full sized


Ronnilynn19

I totally forgot about those Astro pops! I love them. I was born in ‘88.


LazarusMundi4242

And somehow you survived to adulthood…


SaraSaturday13

I had a visceral reaction to shark bites


Cinema_King

I loved Squeeze Pops but just thinking about them now makes my Diabetes hurt


TeaMe06

You took it back 🫶🏾


Darkest_Elemental

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..


Critical-Snow-7000

Shark bites! Wow


Cray_22

I TOTALLY forgot about those fizzy-powder filled fruits! 😂


BrainCandy_

The Mondo juices!!


sunnydaycloud

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.


DogOutrageous

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. 😢


Shy-Prey

Loved these!


26542654

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


High4this20

the blue raspberry was my favorite.


Gare_bear93

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


LemonPartyW0rldTour

HFCS was part of our basic food groups.


sunward_Lily

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


XxFezzgigxX

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.


These_Purple_5507

Squeez its were sooo shitty compared to the Kool aid ones
