rate my whole life. Ever since I was a child.

I've eaten way more snacks in the nineties and two
thousands than probably everybody I know combined.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
So did preparing for this episode make you hungry or
was it just me? No?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
It made me realize how many chemicals I could in
two and a half.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Decades, how many calories in a healthy snack because it
had fruit in it.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
But it was fun and once again with me is
the kickball King, a man who has also worked in
multiple radio markets and formats, and a guy who's college

Yeah, how many people fill out brackets or how many
brackets are filled?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I say it was.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Between two hundred and two hundred and fifty. They had
twenty bucks of pops. Yeah, there were like four thousand
and change dollars up for grabs.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
All legally, all legal, all legal it is. And you
put some of it.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
To charity, yes, and then ten percent goes to charity.
So yeah, we made like a four hundred something dollar
charity donation.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Time of year or two.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Love it and it is obviously darring Den Dan Ginsburg
is here We're going to talk about something I loved
outside of watching television and listening to music on the radio.
It is eating in the nineties and two thousand that
we are going to go with snacks.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Snacks is our topic, not fashion again.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I actually knew this time that we were going to
do fashion.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
None of the other times you knew. So we're just
going to go over like the some of the snacks
that maybe aren't here anymore, some of them are still.
Some of them are still.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
There's some of them that we just I don't know
about you, but I would look forward to that after
school snack or you know, on the weekend when you
could go to the corner store and spend some of
your allowance, because I did that. That's what I spent my.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
How you won them at like the local arcade rip
to arcades, don't know, don't you know, Like you get
tickets and then you'd redeem the tickets from the arcade
for like little prizes, including snacks sometimes where.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
There snacks at your arcade stuff And I don't remember,
oh yeah, huh. And it would take like nine million
tickets to win.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
You'd throw a thousand quarters into like the dumbest game
that you only played to win tickets, and then that
would get you like Kafa tutsi.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Ro the worst. Meanwhile, you spent like fifty bucks, so.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Right, yeah, you could have bought that same candy for
fifty cents.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
So stupid. What is the what is the goat of
snacks all time, all time? Yeah? The greatest of all
time when it comes to snacks. I've got mine.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Oh man, I mean I already said my unpopular opinion
about skittles, but I might have to put wildberry skittles
as my all time sex So that or salt vinegar
potato chips lais specific.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, So it's an interesting, unique flavor and taste to
be the goat.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, you got a next.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
You know when you go back and forth between those two,
like you know, when you have sweet and then you
crave savory, you have savory and then you crave sweet.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
That's the move and the wild berry Skittles is just
that is very That is a very niche audience.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Did you eat You're a gift from me?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I ate my and my wife's that you gave us. Yes,
so thank you. Yeah, Dan gifted us skittles in a
in a really like gangsta like, uh, a tuppleware bagger
like a zip bag. Yeah, it's nice of you.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Okay, So what's your favorite.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I'm just saying the goat.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
If there's like a vending machine and I really just
want a snack, I'm going a seven and it's coming down,
it's and it's the it's for some reason, I just
like the crunch and the salty.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
It's like Snickers.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Nope, it's a crispy treat.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
It is cheese.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
It's oh Jesus, okay, the goat.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I was back that I buy the big box of
family sized cheese. It's for just me, myself and I
in my apartment sometimes, nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Wrong with that. And uh, the extra crispy, extra crispy ones,
the burnt ones what it's called, or the crisps.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
They have those in our break they have those.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But yeah, the extra crispy cheese.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
It's As a kid, we always bought things, you know,
that weren't as expensive. So there was like the knockoff
brand of cheese. Its cheese nips. Do you remember cheese nips?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
No? But have you had the all the cheese it's
they're not called cheese. It no, pretty solid.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
But the regular cheese its. I'm gonna cheese its is
the goat for me.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I can't really argue that.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
So I thought I thought we would do is we
kind of break it up into categories here, So I
have three drinks because I consider some drinks snacks. I
stuck with the nineties. But if you did two thousands,
cool because it's there they bleed over.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I feel, you know, when I did my research, I
wasn't quite sure, so I did too less for myself
in nineties listed in two thousands lists. So we're good.
Let's do nineties.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
So drinks, candy and then other So I'm gonna start
with drinks, so drinks.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I put Caprice on on my list.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Oh god, yeah, no, you win already.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Caprisan had one hell of a time in argument with
the actual Caprice on getting the straw in. That was
always challenge. But once once you once you stuck it in,
it was a delicious little juice and you squeeze the.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
What are you laughing? Way?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Said it nothing?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Caprice Son cool though.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Oh yeah though, the way you stuck the straw and
was like the signature thing like that was what the
cool kids had at lunch, like the ones that just
had the boring like me, the boring Apple juice box
that you just perpendicular like put the straw in, boring
like the Caprice Son. Granted it was I don't know
if it was a design that made sense.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
It was very easy. Did you ever like pop the
whole wrong?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, you went and.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Score you're basically that was how we all learned the
shotgun Beers was like sucking the Caprice Son out of
the out.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Of the thing before it all.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Caprice Caprice was prepping us for college. Uh, there's actually
they actually have I don't know if they're still around,
but like last summer maybe the summer before they made
an adult version of Capri Sun's.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Really because it's still in the same container.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yeah, that's the whole best part of Otherwise, I'm out
kool Aid on my list for drinks. Yeah, how did you?
How did you have your kool aid? Like what did
what it was? Your kool Aid containers?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Like it was, Oh, it was this really old plastic
like big pitch yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Sure, yeah, with the packets, yeah, or like the scoop
yeah with the yeah, with the yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
With you would either have the big big box package
with the scoop.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
I feel like that's what we normally had, or sometimes
the individual paper, individual.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Ones, they're like ten cents apart. Yeah, just sugar.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
They're like the ramen noodles of drinks.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
It's like lemon sugar, watermelon lemons cooler. Yeah, that's what
we did too, and then last on my drinks list.
I don't know if this is this, I would know
it's a regional thing. I don't know if it was
part of your region. But did you ever hockey soda?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I have no idea what that is?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Hockey soda? You probably called it something different.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Is when you go to like a seven eleven or
a gas station and you take the cup in the
fountain soda and you mix.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Oh yes, I did that all the time. That was
like my whole childhood. Like we loved when they had
fountain drinks, right, like if our parents took us somewhere
because you could, like you didn't have to choose coke
or sprite. You could have like a third coke, third sprite.
You gotta get something like cherry in there.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
So good. Yeah, what did you call it? Did you
just call it?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Like? I don't think. I don't know if we even
had a name for it.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
We call it hockey soda, which, uh yeah, why hockey
because apparently it was It started with hockey, the kids
playing hockey after the hockey practice or games, that's what
they would do, all right. So it came this is
like an East Coast thing.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Why didn't the basketball kids do it?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
They drank other things. They were busy, like sticking Strattens
over in the corner. I'm gonna stop doing this hand motion.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Do you remember the Ecto cooler?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Of course? I see, yeah, that's icy right, yeah, high
see Echdo cooler. That wasn'tkol a, that was high c Yeah, yeah,
it was.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
So cooler was the flavor?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It was slimer.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
It was slimer from the Ghostbusters on on a carton. Yeah, yeah,
that's what that was a delicious tree. I feel like
that's still around. So those are my drinks. Do you
have any drinks?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
The other one I was gonna mention was, you know,
when Mountain Dew just isn't quite enough caffeine for you,
You've got Serge Surge.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Was that a cola? Yes, okay, it was Serge soda.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
It was it was neon green. It was like citrus flavored.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
So it was kind of like the taste I want
to say, was probably a hybrid of like a mountain
dew and like a sprite. Yeah, but it was like
as if mountain dew wasn't enough to make us never sleep.
This was like the next level of caffeine. Back before
like there were any like government regulations about how much caffeine.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
We were wired off that stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Yes, I hope when we were kids that they probably were,
but I hope that like college kids weren't putting alcohol
in serge soda because that probably caused deaths.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Hello, did you ever have a red bull light?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Yeah? My point surgeon surgeon vodka. I was thinking when
you started describe, I was thinking jolt, Oh, yeah, jolt similar.
It's yeah, when when when coca cola and pepsi aren't enough, Yeah,
you get enough, and then another level another tear caffeine, and.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Then the other ones.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
When you get in the two thousands, you have pepsi blue.
Oh yeah, like a erry flavored and a glue and
the glowed in the dark. That can't be good nor
insides your all those artificial colorings and sprite remix remix
that had I feel like that had like a big
NBA campaign.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I think that sounds right. They had multiple It wasn't
one flavor like Sprite Remix was a whole different line
of like tropical sprite flavors.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Let's jump the candy, all right, what do you have?
Do you have any candy on your of course? Yeah?
What do you got?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
I had two fruit candies. I think you would go, well,
would you qualify a fruit roll up as a canny.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
On my list?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, you got it? It is those were like you
would make them.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Remember they had like some of them had I don't know,
maybe all of them had like punch out shapes of
like I.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Feel like Scooby Doo probably did.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Sure, yeah yeah, and then grats probably yeah, oh definitely.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
And then you had it's a very similar category, fruit
by the foot, the rolled up. You know, you'd unroll
that thing. You could give it to your friend. It
was a good chaable snack.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
And you wanted to the key with that is when
you had it with your friends, you had to pull
it out as far as you could go and see
like like jump up with it.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Oh my god, yeah, fruit by the foot Okay, those
are good.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I would I mean then you gotta throw gushers. I'm
going off fruit candy, but gush.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Yeah, gushers is great. A little treat inside, a little
liquid treat.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Ye. Uh on my candy lest.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Root for roll ups one fruit ish candy that I
didn't realize is still around until they started feeding us
candy here at work.
Speaker 1 (11:52):

Speaker 4 (11:53):
Oh yeah, nerds, the nerds, the nerds. Gummy clusters. Have
you had those?

a thousand times.
Speaker 2 (12:04):

Speaker 3 (12:06):
Nerds and gummies joined forcers and created a power candy.
Speaker 2 (12:09):

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Doct's like the best of both worlds tours that jay

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Which one's justin?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Okay, so froot roll ups and uh next on my
list for candy. These were you would you would have
them in like sixth seventh grade with your friends, but
you didn't really like them, but you only ate them
to try and impress each other and see how long
you could eat them.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Warheads okay, number.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Warheads super super hard ones right hard and sour yeah,
sour and like they weren't good.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Did anyone like those?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I mean, I don't think I liked them. I think
I just did it because everybody else was doing it. It
was it was a challenge, right, it was hot ones
before hot ones.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
How many teeth were lost to yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Rip teeth?
Speaker 2 (12:53):

Speaker 1 (12:54):
And uh yeah that's my candy list, nerds, warheads and
fruit roll ups.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
So now I'm going with other Okay, because you are,
do you have more andy on your list?
Speaker 4 (13:01):
I have just a whole range of stuff, So ahead,
go with the Okay, Well, I think dunk a Ruse
deserve a mention, dunk a Ruse vanilla frosting, or I
think there was a chocolate frosting.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yes, yeah, I love a dunk roo.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
And uh and the cheeseballs, which are definitely still with
us today. That came in like the giant, the most
the biggest can you've ever seen in your life. They
probably had like two thousand cheese balls in there.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Great snack to pop up and catch, much like popcorn.
Or to your friend, Oh.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, too bad, we're we're recording. Too bad. We uh
with the video.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
We should have done We should have we should have
had a free throw.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
My heart would have loved us, loved us trying to
catch things in the studio. People after us. I am
a pro at that, you know, at what the catch
cheese balls? It was goldfish mostly for me.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Oh that's good. The cracker, the cracker, not the fish.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Wow, not the actual Okay, so we should should we
should we? Next party you throw have like a definitely, Yeah,
you'll be the number one seed.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
We do a bracket.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, get catching goldfish in her mouth.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
On my other list, this is I'm gonna I'm gonna
go off on a little tangent here.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
This is gonna take me back.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
So one thing you probably knew about me when I
grew up is Mom would take me back to school
shopping and I would have to buy clothes in the
husky section and call that the husky section to try
and not call me that. So one thing that I
did as a kid, vivid memory of this is I
had money. I went to chur I was walking to church.
I was in a weird church like era, just me
(14:30):
getting my friend because my friends.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Went to church.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
So I wanted to hang out with my friends in church,
and my mom was like, I'm not going you so,
but she would give me money to put in the
in the dish, right, you put the little like five
dollars forget what that's called. So uh, here i am,
you know, like ten year old me walking to church
with like five dollars in my hand, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Like, you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna buy
some snacks. Yeah, God won't mind, Yeah, no.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
He'll he'll forgive me. He's like, I'll be forgiving. So
I spent my church money dollars worth on all different
little Debbie snack cakes.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Okay, okay, you feel free to judge. This is not
The Debbie snack cakes were amazing, But my point is
this was church money. Yeah, the what was five dollars
gonna do?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Right?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
You know what five dollars is gonna do? Each little
Debbie cost twenty five exactly. So here I am with
this huge bag of little Debbie snack cakes, like all
different kinds, walking to church with them.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Did you put like two of the Debbie snack cakes
in the church plate?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I tried. I don't know what I was thinking. I
didn't think far ahead, dan I was. I started I
started eating them and by like number three. Now I'm
starting to like, yeah, it's not starting to feel good,
and I'm like, I still have thirty left?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
What do I do with these?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, that's that's too much. So now it's sugar.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
So now I have no money to give to church
who needs it more than I need. Little Debbies. A
bagfull of Little Debbies that I cannot eat church starts
in ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
What do I do with this bag? I handed them
off to a stranger, okay, who was just walking by me.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
So you did charitable, but you probably have five dollars
served a better cause than it would have in that.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
A little fat could hand you a bag a little
I'll bet you that guy has tells that story for
the rest of his life. Anyways, my point of this
absurd story and how I'm gonna get really judged telling it,
is Little Debbies was my jam.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Little Debbies give me. Those must have had so many
bad things in them, the worst, the worst, every there
wasn't a bad Little Debbies.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I haven't had one in quite some time.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Actually, the last time I can tell you when I
had one, Because I had an ex girlfriend whose mom
worked for Little Debbies. She delivered the snatcakes all throughout connect.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
How much weight did you gain when you were in
that relationship.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I'll show you some pictures a husky section those days too,
so but anyways, Yeah, and I remember tasting them for
the first time then before my childhood, and was like,
I can you can taste it.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Tastes like chemicals. You could taste it. It's still good. Yeah,
it's a good chemically. It's like there's things that are
delicious and also chemically. It's not like an either or situation.
Also on my other list, kudos do you remember kudos? No,
kudos may have been late eighties slash.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Ninetiesol for that. And they dipped them in chocolate. Oh
so they had granola bar was chocolate. The granola bar
was chocolate dips. You have a normal granola bardically does
the ring a bell? Kudos?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
That sounds good?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (17:26):
And then last, but not least similar to your dunkaroo,
I will see your dunk waroo and I will raise
you a ritz cheese and crackers.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Yes, yes, I actually had that on mine as well.
Those were great with bread utensil. You would s slather
the cheese, yes, now here's a or you could slather
the peanut butter on which was your See, they had
cheese I liked, I was peanut but really really not
real cheese kind of freaked me out, even though everything
else I was eating was just as chemically.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
For some reason, that was where I drew the line.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Right, not sugar, not serge. Yeah, you have the.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Pixie sticks where we're just literally pouring sugar into our mouths,
which we.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Didn't even talk about that. I don't know what year
that was, but yea, there.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Was another one similar to that. It was I think
it was I think it was called dip it.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, yeah, a little thing.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, a candy spoon, a candy spooneh that you dipped
into sugar.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, just to eat sugar.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Wow. Wow. Somebody really that came up with these wanted
to kill us and into.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
The I feel like the nineties was also the decade
of like weird candy creations because the others, I feel
like we need to shout out ring pops, so they
were like more fashion statements. This kind of is the
fashion episode. You'd wear you wear a ring, it was
a ring that had a lollipop on it, and then
you had push pops too, which were like the that
(18:50):
was like ice cream.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
No, that that was lollipop, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Oh? Yes, yes it was.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
It was like in a tube and you but you
so you would push a little bit of the lollipop
out at a time. It was basically like a lollipop
that lasted way longer. I like picture kind of like
I remember a stick.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Of deodorant, but as a lollipop, so you're just pushing
out a little at a time.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Back to the ring pop, I feel like I gave
Heather Weed one of those, and like in when she
was like my first girlfriend, there were.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Good Valentine's Day elementary school gift.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Will you marry me with a ring pop? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
Heather Heather Weeds.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Up to the next episode seventeen, we talked to Heather
and I'll talk to Rebecca.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
My seventh grade girlfriend, Heather, they called her. I felt
bad because on the school bus they started calling her
hector because she got her hair cut short, so she
was a hector for a little bit.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I think I ended the relationship there. Back to the
ritzk cheese and crackers real quick? How did you eat them?
Because you could go you could go evenly on each cracker,
you could overload early and then you only have a little,
or you could save and have one good one at
the end.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
I have OCD, so I ate them the same way
my lunchables very evenly. Yeah whatever, you got your lunchables.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
You got the eight crackers, the eight pieces of cheese,
the eight slices of turkey, one one in one.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
So did you make the peanut butter crackers all first?
And no, I don't think you judged it? Yeah I
was you judged it.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I have moderate oh city, it's not that.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
What did you do? I think?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I say I saved it and this is just a
weird thing. It was like it was like a treat
at the.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
End when you had the one big yeah, one big
cheese and cracker, so almost saving.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Generally, my sister was always the one who would eat
the best stuff first and I would save it for last,
which was bad if we were like sharing Halloween candy,
because then.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
She'd eat all the good stuff right away and all
the stuff I wanted to save was gone.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
That's a different story Halloween candy. You go good first
and yeah, smarty left in jain.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
No, No, do you save the you save the good?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
No? Way?
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Maybe one or two good depends how big.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Your stash is all good right away because you don't
know who's going to come in and soop that up.
It was a it was every man for himself in
my household. What else? What else do you have on
your list? For were?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I had some cereals?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Oh, speaking of cereals, back to the sa saving the
best for last.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Lucky charms, I would eat the marshmallows last.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, I did not.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Like lucky charms.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
You believe that lucky charms and fruit loops are like, yeah, yeah,
unpopular opinion.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Lucky charms and fruit loops are not good. I mean
fruit loops, froot loops are okay.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
I am a cereal guy like I to this day
as a forty two year old man, always have at
least five or six boxes of cereal and a couple
of cartons of milk in the fridge that you eat
anytime of day. Oh yeah, love, I mean, we could
do a whole episode on cereal.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
And we will. So so lucky charms the nineties, the
Oreo O's oh yeah, really unhealthy part of this nutritious breakfast. Yeah,
Like the kid had like fruit in the in the
picture and all the things and the only thing that
wasn't healthy was the oreole O's.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
And then of course cinnamon toast crunch has been around forever.
That's still to this day one of my favorite cereals.
But then we got French toast crunch. Yeah, the offshoot
of cinnamon to It.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Was kind of like the evil step brother. Yeah, yeah,
he came in. He caused a ruckus a little bit.
Wasn't happy that he moved in, but here he is.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Fruit Toopia. Do you remember Frutopia? This would be a drink.

in a plastic bottle. Different flavors would be like it
would be like what like like strawberry melon, Kiwi strawberry.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, Frutopia. Snapple was the one that had like a
little fun fact on the inside or joke or something.
Speaker 2 (22:41):

He's completely making that.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I know you're talking about. You mentioned lunchibles, I mean lunchables.
Was like if you came to school with the lunchable,
you were envied, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I was like I was so my mom, you know,
would was working her butt off making us these like
homemade sandwiches, and we were just like jealous.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Of the kids that had the worst thing for you,
overly processed.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Also, Sonny D was around since the sixties, but the
the like the ready to drink juice came late eighties.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
So we'll put that on the list. Yeah, in Sonny D.
I don't know if you watch any of Chappelle's stuff,
did you ever hear his bit.
Speaker 2 (23:25):

Probably, I feel like, oh yeah, we can, we can
refer to that.
Speaker 1 (24:13):

Speaker 3 (24:13):
I probably feel like it was one and it had
like a supermodel.

were early with the whole like user like customer created commercials.
Speaker 1 (24:25):

I have that on my two thousands list. I had
two yogurts. I had Gogert and tricks yogurt my uh
my little fun fact.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Our friend Jordan, Jordan, his mom is the one that
came up with Gogert.
Speaker 1 (24:45):

still have cases. If we want to go have a
two thousand, probably that's I'm going to pass on that. Yeah,
I'll give you one more from the two thousands, go
for it.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Uh And it's it's one that just came up my
life because my good friend Amber, who's around our age,
did one of those like uh, you know, instant food
delivery orders, and she had had something delivered to my
place because we were going to a party from my
place a few weeks prior, and she forgot to change
the delivery at dress.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
So I get a text from her.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
She's like, so sorry, A bunch of snacks that I
should definitely not be eating as a as a grown woman.
You are coming to you just eat them. And the
best thing in that bag were uncrustables. Oh wow, yea uncrustable.
Now you put them in the freezer, but they quickly defrosted.
They're basically like a crustless peanut butter and jelly sandwich
(25:38):
that you didn't have to make.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Oh no, more of a hot take, okay than unpopular opinion.
It's kind of the same thing. I've never had an
uncrustable once in my life.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Really, I have one left in my freezer. I will
bring it to you.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I think, good frozen. You you just take them out.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
It's called Brady one more Time the podcast. I'm your
podcast host on air stations throughout the country.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I have absorbed pop culture kind of had an alarming
rate my whole life. Ever since I was a child.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I've eaten way more snacks in the nineties and two
thousands than probably everybody I know combined.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
So did preparing for this episode make you hungry or
was it just me? No?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
It made me realize how many chemicals I could in
two and a half.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Decades, how many calories in a healthy snack because it
had fruit in it.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
But it was fun and once again with me is
the kickball King, a man who has also worked in
multiple radio markets and formats, and a guy who's college
basketball bracket.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I will never I will never win.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You never know. That's what my friend. How many people
last year and then he won?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Greg One?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Greg One? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
You know?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, how many people fill out brackets or how many
brackets are filled?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I say it was.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Between two hundred and two hundred and fifty. They had
twenty bucks of pops. Yeah, there were like four thousand
and change dollars up for grabs.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
All legally, all legal, all legal it is. And you
put some of it.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
To charity, yes, and then ten percent goes to charity.
So yeah, we made like a four hundred something dollar
charity donation.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Time of year or two.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Love it and it is obviously darring Den Dan Ginsburg
is here We're going to talk about something I loved
outside of watching television and listening to music on the radio.
It is eating in the nineties and two thousand that
we are going to go with snacks.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Snacks is our topic, not fashion again.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I actually knew this time that we were going to
do fashion.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
None of the other times you knew. So we're just
going to go over like the some of the snacks
that maybe aren't here anymore, some of them are still.
Some of them are still.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
There's some of them that we just I don't know
about you, but I would look forward to that after
school snack or you know, on the weekend when you
could go to the corner store and spend some of
your allowance, because I did that. That's what I spent my.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
How you won them at like the local arcade rip
to arcades, don't know, don't you know, Like you get
tickets and then you'd redeem the tickets from the arcade
for like little prizes, including snacks sometimes where.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
There snacks at your arcade stuff And I don't remember,
oh yeah, huh. And it would take like nine million
tickets to win.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
You'd throw a thousand quarters into like the dumbest game
that you only played to win tickets, and then that
would get you like Kafa tutsi.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Ro the worst. Meanwhile, you spent like fifty bucks, so.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Right, yeah, you could have bought that same candy for
fifty cents.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
So stupid. What is the what is the goat of
snacks all time, all time? Yeah? The greatest of all
time when it comes to snacks. I've got mine.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Oh man, I mean I already said my unpopular opinion
about skittles, but I might have to put wildberry skittles
as my all time sex So that or salt vinegar
potato chips lais specific.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, So it's an interesting, unique flavor and taste to
be the goat.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, you got a next.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
You know when you go back and forth between those two,
like you know, when you have sweet and then you
crave savory, you have savory and then you crave sweet.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
That's the move and the wild berry Skittles is just
that is very That is a very niche audience.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Did you eat You're a gift from me?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I ate my and my wife's that you gave us. Yes,
so thank you. Yeah, Dan gifted us skittles in a
in a really like gangsta like, uh, a tuppleware bagger
like a zip bag. Yeah, it's nice of you.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Okay, So what's your favorite.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I'm just saying the goat.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
If there's like a vending machine and I really just
want a snack, I'm going a seven and it's coming down,
it's and it's the it's for some reason, I just
like the crunch and the salty.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
It's like Snickers.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Nope, it's a crispy treat.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
It is cheese.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
It's oh Jesus, okay, the goat.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I was back that I buy the big box of
family sized cheese. It's for just me, myself and I
in my apartment sometimes, nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Wrong with that. And uh, the extra crispy, extra crispy ones,
the burnt ones what it's called, or the crisps.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
They have those in our break they have those.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But yeah, the extra crispy cheese.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
It's As a kid, we always bought things, you know,
that weren't as expensive. So there was like the knockoff
brand of cheese. Its cheese nips. Do you remember cheese nips?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
No? But have you had the all the cheese it's
they're not called cheese. It no, pretty solid.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
But the regular cheese its. I'm gonna cheese its is
the goat for me.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I can't really argue that.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
So I thought I thought we would do is we
kind of break it up into categories here, So I
have three drinks because I consider some drinks snacks. I
stuck with the nineties. But if you did two thousands,
cool because it's there they bleed over.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I feel, you know, when I did my research, I
wasn't quite sure, so I did too less for myself
in nineties listed in two thousands lists. So we're good.
Let's do nineties.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
So drinks, candy and then other So I'm gonna start
with drinks, so drinks.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I put Caprice on on my list.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Oh god, yeah, no, you win already.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Caprisan had one hell of a time in argument with
the actual Caprice on getting the straw in. That was
always challenge. But once once you once you stuck it in,
it was a delicious little juice and you squeeze the.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
What are you laughing? Way?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Said it nothing?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Caprice Son cool though.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Oh yeah though, the way you stuck the straw and
was like the signature thing like that was what the
cool kids had at lunch, like the ones that just
had the boring like me, the boring Apple juice box
that you just perpendicular like put the straw in, boring
like the Caprice Son. Granted it was I don't know
if it was a design that made sense.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
It was very easy. Did you ever like pop the
whole wrong?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, you went and.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Score you're basically that was how we all learned the
shotgun Beers was like sucking the Caprice Son out of
the out.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Of the thing before it all.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Caprice Caprice was prepping us for college. Uh, there's actually
they actually have I don't know if they're still around,
but like last summer maybe the summer before they made
an adult version of Capri Sun's.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Really because it's still in the same container.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yeah, that's the whole best part of Otherwise, I'm out
kool Aid on my list for drinks. Yeah, how did you?
How did you have your kool aid? Like what did
what it was? Your kool Aid containers?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Like it was, Oh, it was this really old plastic
like big pitch yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Sure, yeah, with the packets, yeah, or like the scoop
yeah with the yeah, with the yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
With you would either have the big big box package
with the scoop.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
I feel like that's what we normally had, or sometimes
the individual paper, individual.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Ones, they're like ten cents apart. Yeah, just sugar.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
They're like the ramen noodles of drinks.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
It's like lemon sugar, watermelon lemons cooler. Yeah, that's what
we did too, and then last on my drinks list.
I don't know if this is this, I would know
it's a regional thing. I don't know if it was
part of your region. But did you ever hockey soda?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I have no idea what that is?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Hockey soda? You probably called it something different.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Is when you go to like a seven eleven or
a gas station and you take the cup in the
fountain soda and you mix.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Oh yes, I did that all the time. That was
like my whole childhood. Like we loved when they had
fountain drinks, right, like if our parents took us somewhere
because you could, like you didn't have to choose coke
or sprite. You could have like a third coke, third sprite.
You gotta get something like cherry in there.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
So good. Yeah, what did you call it? Did you
just call it?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Like? I don't think. I don't know if we even
had a name for it.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
We call it hockey soda, which, uh yeah, why hockey
because apparently it was It started with hockey, the kids
playing hockey after the hockey practice or games, that's what
they would do, all right. So it came this is
like an East Coast thing.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Why didn't the basketball kids do it?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
They drank other things. They were busy, like sticking Strattens
over in the corner. I'm gonna stop doing this hand motion.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Do you remember the Ecto cooler?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Of course? I see, yeah, that's icy right, yeah, high
see Echdo cooler. That wasn'tkol a, that was high c Yeah, yeah,
it was.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
So cooler was the flavor?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It was slimer.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
It was slimer from the Ghostbusters on on a carton. Yeah, yeah,
that's what that was a delicious tree. I feel like
that's still around. So those are my drinks. Do you
have any drinks?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
The other one I was gonna mention was, you know,
when Mountain Dew just isn't quite enough caffeine for you,
You've got Serge Surge.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Was that a cola? Yes, okay, it was Serge soda.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
It was it was neon green. It was like citrus flavored.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
So it was kind of like the taste I want
to say, was probably a hybrid of like a mountain
dew and like a sprite. Yeah, but it was like
as if mountain dew wasn't enough to make us never sleep.
This was like the next level of caffeine. Back before
like there were any like government regulations about how much caffeine.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
We were wired off that stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Yes, I hope when we were kids that they probably were,
but I hope that like college kids weren't putting alcohol
in serge soda because that probably caused deaths.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Hello, did you ever have a red bull light?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Yeah? My point surgeon surgeon vodka. I was thinking when
you started describe, I was thinking jolt, Oh, yeah, jolt similar.
It's yeah, when when when coca cola and pepsi aren't enough, Yeah,
you get enough, and then another level another tear caffeine, and.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Then the other ones.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
When you get in the two thousands, you have pepsi blue.
Oh yeah, like a erry flavored and a glue and
the glowed in the dark. That can't be good nor
insides your all those artificial colorings and sprite remix remix
that had I feel like that had like a big

by the foot, the rolled up. You know, you'd unroll
that thing. You could give it to your friend. It
was a good chaable snack.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
And you wanted to the key with that is when
you had it with your friends, you had to pull
it out as far as you could go and see
like like jump up with it.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Oh my god, yeah, fruit by the foot Okay, those

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Okay, so froot roll ups and uh next on my
list for candy. These were you would you would have
them in like sixth seventh grade with your friends, but
you didn't really like them, but you only ate them
to try and impress each other and see how long
you could eat them.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Warheads okay, number.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Warheads super super hard ones right hard and sour yeah,
sour and like they weren't good.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Did anyone like those?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I mean, I don't think I liked them. I think
I just did it because everybody else was doing it. It
was it was a challenge, right, it was hot ones
before hot ones.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
How many teeth were lost to yeah?

And uh yeah that's my candy list, nerds, warheads and
fruit roll ups.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
So now I'm going with other Okay, because you are,
do you have more andy on your list?
Speaker 4 (13:01):
I have just a whole range of stuff, So ahead,
go with the Okay, Well, I think dunk a Ruse
deserve a mention, dunk a Ruse vanilla frosting, or I
think there was a chocolate frosting.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yes, yeah, I love a dunk roo.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
And uh and the cheeseballs, which are definitely still with
us today. That came in like the giant, the most
the biggest can you've ever seen in your life. They
probably had like two thousand cheese balls in there.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Great snack to pop up and catch, much like popcorn.
Or to your friend, Oh.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, too bad, we're we're recording. Too bad. We uh
with the video.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
We should have done We should have we should have
had a free throw.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
My heart would have loved us, loved us trying to
catch things in the studio. People after us. I am
a pro at that, you know, at what the catch
cheese balls? It was goldfish mostly for me.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Oh that's good. The cracker, the cracker, not the fish.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Wow, not the actual Okay, so we should should we
should we? Next party you throw have like a definitely, Yeah,
you'll be the number one seed.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
We do a bracket.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, get catching goldfish in her mouth.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
On my other list, this is I'm gonna I'm gonna
go off on a little tangent here.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
This is gonna take me back.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
So one thing you probably knew about me when I
grew up is Mom would take me back to school
shopping and I would have to buy clothes in the
husky section and call that the husky section to try
and not call me that. So one thing that I
did as a kid, vivid memory of this is I
had money. I went to chur I was walking to church.
I was in a weird church like era, just me
(14:30):
getting my friend because my friends.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Went to church.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
So I wanted to hang out with my friends in church,
and my mom was like, I'm not going you so,
but she would give me money to put in the
in the dish, right, you put the little like five
dollars forget what that's called. So uh, here i am,
you know, like ten year old me walking to church
with like five dollars in my hand, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Like, you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna buy
some snacks. Yeah, God won't mind, Yeah, no.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
He'll he'll forgive me. He's like, I'll be forgiving. So
I spent my church money dollars worth on all different
little Debbie snack cakes.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Okay, okay, you feel free to judge. This is not
The Debbie snack cakes were amazing, But my point is
this was church money. Yeah, the what was five dollars
gonna do?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Right?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
You know what five dollars is gonna do? Each little
Debbie cost twenty five exactly. So here I am with
this huge bag of little Debbie snack cakes, like all
different kinds, walking to church with them.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Did you put like two of the Debbie snack cakes
in the church plate?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I tried. I don't know what I was thinking. I
didn't think far ahead, dan I was. I started I
started eating them and by like number three. Now I'm
starting to like, yeah, it's not starting to feel good,
and I'm like, I still have thirty left?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
What do I do with these?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, that's that's too much. So now it's sugar.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
So now I have no money to give to church
who needs it more than I need. Little Debbies. A
bagfull of Little Debbies that I cannot eat church starts
in ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
What do I do with this bag? I handed them
off to a stranger, okay, who was just walking by me.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
So you did charitable, but you probably have five dollars
served a better cause than it would have in that.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
A little fat could hand you a bag a little
I'll bet you that guy has tells that story for
the rest of his life. Anyways, my point of this
absurd story and how I'm gonna get really judged telling it,
is Little Debbies was my jam.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Little Debbies give me. Those must have had so many
bad things in them, the worst, the worst, every there
wasn't a bad Little Debbies.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I haven't had one in quite some time.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Actually, the last time I can tell you when I
had one, Because I had an ex girlfriend whose mom
worked for Little Debbies. She delivered the snatcakes all throughout connect.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
How much weight did you gain when you were in
that relationship.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I'll show you some pictures a husky section those days too,
so but anyways, Yeah, and I remember tasting them for
the first time then before my childhood, and was like,
I can you can taste it.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Tastes like chemicals. You could taste it. It's still good. Yeah,
it's a good chemically. It's like there's things that are
delicious and also chemically. It's not like an either or situation.
Also on my other list, kudos do you remember kudos? No,
kudos may have been late eighties slash.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Ninetiesol for that. And they dipped them in chocolate. Oh
so they had granola bar was chocolate. The granola bar
was chocolate dips. You have a normal granola bardically does
the ring a bell? Kudos?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
That sounds good?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (17:26):
And then last, but not least similar to your dunkaroo,
I will see your dunk waroo and I will raise
you a ritz cheese and crackers.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Yes, yes, I actually had that on mine as well.
Those were great with bread utensil. You would s slather
the cheese, yes, now here's a or you could slather
the peanut butter on which was your See, they had
cheese I liked, I was peanut but really really not
real cheese kind of freaked me out, even though everything
else I was eating was just as chemically.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
For some reason, that was where I drew the line.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Right, not sugar, not serge. Yeah, you have the.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Pixie sticks where we're just literally pouring sugar into our mouths,
which we.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Didn't even talk about that. I don't know what year
that was, but yea, there.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Was another one similar to that. It was I think
it was I think it was called dip it.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, yeah, a little thing.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, a candy spoon, a candy spooneh that you dipped
into sugar.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, just to eat sugar.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Wow. Wow. Somebody really that came up with these wanted
to kill us and into.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
The I feel like the nineties was also the decade
of like weird candy creations because the others, I feel
like we need to shout out ring pops, so they
were like more fashion statements. This kind of is the
fashion episode. You'd wear you wear a ring, it was
a ring that had a lollipop on it, and then
you had push pops too, which were like the that
(18:50):
was like ice cream.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
No, that that was lollipop, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Oh? Yes, yes it was.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
It was like in a tube and you but you
so you would push a little bit of the lollipop
out at a time. It was basically like a lollipop
that lasted way longer. I like picture kind of like
I remember a stick.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Of deodorant, but as a lollipop, so you're just pushing
out a little at a time.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Back to the ring pop, I feel like I gave
Heather Weed one of those, and like in when she
was like my first girlfriend, there were.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Good Valentine's Day elementary school gift.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Will you marry me with a ring pop? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
Heather Heather Weeds.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Up to the next episode seventeen, we talked to Heather
and I'll talk to Rebecca.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
My seventh grade girlfriend, Heather, they called her. I felt
bad because on the school bus they started calling her
hector because she got her hair cut short, so she
was a hector for a little bit.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I think I ended the relationship there. Back to the
ritzk cheese and crackers real quick? How did you eat them?
Because you could go you could go evenly on each cracker,
you could overload early and then you only have a little,
or you could save and have one good one at
the end.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
I have OCD, so I ate them the same way
my lunchables very evenly. Yeah whatever, you got your lunchables.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
You got the eight crackers, the eight pieces of cheese,
the eight slices of turkey, one one in one.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
So did you make the peanut butter crackers all first?
And no, I don't think you judged it? Yeah I
was you judged it.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I have moderate oh city, it's not that.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
What did you do? I think?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I say I saved it and this is just a
weird thing. It was like it was like a treat
at the.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
End when you had the one big yeah, one big
cheese and cracker, so almost saving.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Generally, my sister was always the one who would eat
the best stuff first and I would save it for last,
which was bad if we were like sharing Halloween candy,
because then.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
She'd eat all the good stuff right away and all
the stuff I wanted to save was gone.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
That's a different story Halloween candy. You go good first
and yeah, smarty left in jain.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
No, No, do you save the you save the good?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
No? Way?
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Maybe one or two good depends how big.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Your stash is all good right away because you don't
know who's going to come in and soop that up.
It was a it was every man for himself in
my household. What else? What else do you have on
your list? For were?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I had some cereals?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Oh, speaking of cereals, back to the sa saving the
best for last.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Lucky charms, I would eat the marshmallows last.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, I did not.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Like lucky charms.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
You believe that lucky charms and fruit loops are like, yeah, yeah,
unpopular opinion.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Lucky charms and fruit loops are not good. I mean
fruit loops, froot loops are okay.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
I am a cereal guy like I to this day
as a forty two year old man, always have at
least five or six boxes of cereal and a couple
of cartons of milk in the fridge that you eat
anytime of day. Oh yeah, love, I mean, we could
do a whole episode on cereal.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
And we will. So so lucky charms the nineties, the
Oreo O's oh yeah, really unhealthy part of this nutritious breakfast. Yeah,
Like the kid had like fruit in the in the
picture and all the things and the only thing that
wasn't healthy was the oreole O's.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
And then of course cinnamon toast crunch has been around forever.
That's still to this day one of my favorite cereals.
But then we got French toast crunch. Yeah, the offshoot
of cinnamon to It.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Was kind of like the evil step brother. Yeah, yeah,
he came in. He caused a ruckus a little bit.
Wasn't happy that he moved in, but here he is.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Fruit Toopia. Do you remember Frutopia? This would be a drink.
This would be a It was like a juice came
in a plastic bottle. Different flavors would be like it
would be like what like like strawberry melon, Kiwi strawberry.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, Frutopia. Snapple was the one that had like a
little fun fact on the inside or joke or something.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I feel like they really blew. I want to say, like,
was Roseanne like in a big marketing marketing thing for them.
He's completely making that.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I know you're talking about. You mentioned lunchibles, I mean lunchables.
Was like if you came to school with the lunchable,
you were envied, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I was like I was so my mom, you know,
would was working her butt off making us these like
homemade sandwiches, and we were just like jealous.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Of the kids that had the worst thing for you,
overly processed.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Also, Sonny D was around since the sixties, but the
the like the ready to drink juice came late eighties.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
So we'll put that on the list. Yeah, in Sonny D.
I don't know if you watch any of Chappelle's stuff,
did you ever hear his bit.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
About so I don't think i've heard that one.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
No, He's basically like, now, all the kids coming to
the house and they open.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
The fridge, Oh, look, purple stuff. Oh what's the apple juice?

life because my good friend Amber, who's around our age,
did one of those like uh, you know, instant food
delivery orders, and she had had something delivered to my

best thing in that bag were uncrustables. Oh wow, yea uncrustable.

They're basically like a crustless peanut butter and jelly sandwich
(25:38):
that you didn't have to make.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Oh no, more of a hot take, okay than unpopular opinion.
