The best treats from my childhood
It’s October, Halloween is coming up, and I’ve been craving sweets lately.
Craving sugary things isn’t unusual for me, but these cravings are coming with flashbacks of a time long forgotten. A sweeter time. A time when I lived with my parents and had to use my modest allowance if I wanted to buy treats. Lately, I’ve been wanting to revisit this time.
Seriously–it’s time to take a trip back to the good old days. Here are some of my favorite bad-for-you snacks from my childhood:
Fruit Roll-ups
They seem to have forgotten to put quotation marks around “Fruit” Roll-Ups.
Fruit Roll-ups: Tattoo edition
This was a bonus.
Fruit by the Foot
The longer, thinner, easier-to-wrap-around-your-finger-and-suck-out-the-juices version of the Fruit Roll-Up.
Gushers
Gooey, gushy, and really sucks when it squirts in your eye.
Dunkaroos
Vanilla with rainbow sprinkles was my ultimate combo.
Since writing this blog post, I GOT MY OWN DUNKAROOS for the first time in years! THIS WAS AMAZING. AMAAAAAAZING.
Sodalicious
Look at you with your pun on ‘soda’ and ‘delicious’. And ‘so delicious’. You classy, delicious treat. I think there was a lime one that was particularly awesome. And grape? So delicious.
Rockets
For me, this is the classic Halloween treat. I’d wait all year until October 31st, and these sweet little pills would appear in my pillowcase (or whatever I was using to collect candy at the time). Were we the only kids to pretend that these were drugs?
What did I miss?
This picture has all the faves from my childhood too! Especially Reese’s and Tootsie rolls.
I still love Reese’s and Tootsie rolls! There’s so much more I could add to this list. Thanks for stopping by!
Nailed it! especially with the dunkaroos, fruit roll-ups, gushers.. who am I kidding.. they are all soda-licious!! 😉
Yes! I’m determined to find sodalicious again. My taste buds are seriously yearning. Could you imagine if they combined those with pop rocks?
