I would empty a packet of crisps (Chips for US folk) onto a slice of buttered bread and put another slice on top of it.

I can still hear the crunching sound :messenger_kissing_smiling:

I see your koalas and I say I enjoyed Hello Panda more.

I would seriously try to hide them from my classmates and eat alone. Sharing was only reserved for cheap knock-offs or some plain bread.
First had these a few years ago in Thailand and they are amazing. Get them every time I go. Disappointed to find the American version is not as good.

These cookies with some sort of coffee layer over it. You'd lick that shit off until your tongue bled and then you still wouldn't stop until it's all gone.

They are called Cafe Noir here in NL.

Fruit roll ups. Its funny trying to eat them as an adult because they really aren't shit. They seemed so massive as a kid though.

every day going to primary school (Age 5-11 for you Americans) i'd buy a 250ml bottle of Irn Bru. This is the god tier juice (can you tell I'm scottish?). Even now they've cut the sugar it's still the best. A sip of this walking to school and I was ready for a serious day of Pokemon battles and ass kicking in the playground.

...and a packet of these god tier crisps (chips for you Americans...) : The Golden Wonder Quite Hot Crisps! in either Chilli or Curry flavour.

To this day they are the best crisps I have ever tasted. Seriously, just the other day I was thinking about how much I miss them. They were fucking beautiful. I was in primary school '96-'02 so it's been a long time since I had a packet. Oh what i'd give to taste them just one last time.

+1 to Koala's March.

My friends and I also used to love the cheap Little Debbie snacks.

From 1984 to about 87, I must have eaten a bag a week of these Duncan Hines cookies :pie_sfwth:




Loved pudding pops in the 80s. Don't give a shit who was in the commercials then or now.

Being from Britain you'd have to say Chomps which were 10p a whack back then.

Also say Space Raiders as well as the fake cigarette candy sticks that were in a box like the real ones.

Haven't seen froot loops put marshmallows in their cereal in like 20 years, miss that a lot.

Dunkaroos were a definite favourite

3d doritos were amazing

Dude, no joke, like a year ago I got curious about these things because I remembered loving them when I was a kid.

Amazon sells a giant ass box of them for like $9 that come with 24 packs. I expected to eat a couple, maybe, and throw the rest out when the curiosity went away.

I ate every fucking pack and ordered another one months later. These things are like crack for me.

Yeh they were called 'Fags' here, ironically now you cant buy them, probably because of both the smoking association and the name. Had to take up real smoking instead
