RIP You Delicious '90s Candies, You

Throwback Thursday is such a fun concept. It always makes me think back to the 'good 'ole days.' The Good 'Ole Days of deliciously amazing candy and sweets! I definitely have a sweet tooth. No really. Really. As in I am a dentist's (and unfortunately an oral surgeon's) dream patient. I have had so many cavities, root canals, and even a few oral surgeries. To say I love my candy is an understatement. But it's just such a happy thing.  : ) So when I think back to the good 'ole days, AKA the '90s, I can't help but recollect a ridiculously large amount of few of my favorite, and unfortunately extinct, sweets from the '90s. So here is a tribute to those sweets that I will never forget. Thank you, sweets of the '90s, for all of the great memories!!

My Favorites

(in no particular order)

 



Squeezeit

Noticing now that it was made by Betty Crocker?! Say whaaaaaat?!!

 



 

Life Savers HOLES

 

 

Butterfinger BB's

 

 

Smurf Magic Berries cereal

The Smurfs!! Team Smurfett

 

 

McDonaldland Birthday Cakes

I mean, what kid that grew up in the 1990s didn't go to a birthday party at McDonalds?!!

These cakes were 'off the hook' and had those yummy sugared McDonaldland characters. I remember always trying to be one of the first in line, so I could ask the birthday kid if I could have one of the sugared characters. That's right, I'm that girl. Don't hate!

 

 

Melody Pops

The only "musical instrument" I was ever good at (with the exception of rockin' the recorder

in the 5th grade).

 

 

Bonkers!

One of my Top 5

I have tried to find these at a retro candy store online to purchase. Thus far, no luck.

 

 

 

Dino Pebbles cereal

The Flinstones back when it was a Saturday morning cartoon

Team Betty (although Wilma had a fabulous necklace)

 

 

WarHeads

I ate these until the roof of my mouth was raw from the sour flavoring.

 

 

Tongue Splashers (gum)

It came in a little mini paint can. I'm sure the parents just loved these.

 

 

McDonaldland Cookies

One of my Top 5

OMGosh!! These were sooo good! The OCD in me ate them the same way every time: I ate my least favorite characters first and worked my way up to my favorite - Grimace. He was so cute, I hated to eat him. :)

 

 

Mickey's Parade Ice Pops

I never ate the orange ones. (Not even when we had a bought box at home)

 

 

Cookies-n-Creme Twix

One of my Top 5

I have also tried to find these to buy online. They no longer exist.

 

 

Sprinkle Spangles cereal

They were puffs shaped like stars with nonpareil sprinkles. Who doesn't like sprinkles?

One of my Top 5

 

 

 

Planters Crisps

My Mom loved these, too. The chocolate ones were our favorites.

 

 

DunkAroos

A favorite in my lunchbox.

 

 

Mickey's Parade Mickey Mouse Bar

One of my Top 5

Why would they stop making these?! Yes, of course I have looked online for these too. I even tried to research to see if they have them at Walt Disney World.

 

 

SURGE

The Red Bull of the '90s

I drank these all of the time. I remember when the school Coke machine got them.

 

 

 

Now I bet you believe me when I say I love me some candy!!!  :  )

 

Have a SWEET Friday tomorrow!!!
