Snacks Folks Are Nostalgic For

Are there snacks you enjoyed as a kid that you still like today ? Old TV shows, toys, music and even snacks spark a deep sense of nostalgia for many of us. And new research uncovers the ones we think keep thinking about.

Spin Genie analyzed Google search data to find the top 10 nostalgic snacks people searched for most.

• Dunkaroos - What’s not to love about cookies dunked in sugary icing? Dunkaroos have a compartment for the cookies and one for the frosting to dip them in. They were so missed when they were discontinued, but thankfully, they made a comeback in 2020 and are still available today.
• Oreo Cakesters - The softer version of Oreos, they’re cake-like cookies with frosting in the middle. They were discontinued for 10 years, but Nabisco brought them back in 2022.
• Bagel Bites - For anyone not lucky enough to have tried these, they’re mini pizzas made on a bite-sized bagel and they can still be found in stores.
• Tab Soda - It was one of the first diet sodas on the market, released back in the 1960s, and those pink cans were popular for a long time, but Tab disappeared from stores in 2020.
• Fruitopia - Who remembers this fruity drink from the early 90s? Fruitopia was launched by the Coca-Cola company and advertised as a healthy alternative to soda that came in flavors like Tangerine Wavelength and Strawberry Passion Awareness.
• Crystal Pepsi - When this caffeine-free, colorless version of Pepsi came out in 1992, it was a big deal, but it didn’t stick around long. The clear soda did return as a limited-edition flavor in 2016 and again for its 30th anniversary in 2022.
• Kudos granola bars - Coated in chocolate or caramel, these were quietly discontinued back in 2017.
• Orbitz drinks - Don’t remember these non-carbonated fruity beverages? They weren’t around long when they came out in the 90s, but they contained edible balls that floated in the liquid.
• Waffle Crisp cereal - The waffle-shaped cereal tasted like maple syrup and it was discontinued from 2018 to 2021 before returning for a limited run.
• Rice Krispies - This fan-favorite can be enjoyed as a stand alone cereal or turned into the classic dessert made with butter and marshmallows.
