Post 80's snacks

Remember New Coke? Tang was popular.
Nerds were just coming out. Now and Laters?
And who could forget the rumor that Mikey died from eating pop rocks and drinking Coke? *LOL*
I used to love getting taffy at the corner store too. yummy.

Snack Pack puddings, they came in a can with ring pull flip top, it's a wonder we did not cut our fingers off trying to open them at school in our lunches, they are a little safer now with the plastic container and plastic cover . Remember Slush Puppies, they were like a slushee with lots of flavoring and my Grandmother would always get us one at the convenience store on the rare occassions that she stopped at one.

Mmm I remember
Fun-Dips/Lik-Em-Aide, with the sugar stick you lick and dunk into sugar powder,
Gum Chew, supposed to be like chewing tobacco, only it was bubble gum
Nerds candies
Lemonheads
Pepsi Clear (not sure if this was early 90s)
Push-Ups popsicles

I was just thinking about Fun Dips the other day! And those ice creams that looked like yellow and blue sunglasses. Or the ones that were orange cream flavored and had a plastic stick with a little figure on the inside, I don't remember their names.

I just had a flashback of one year at summer camp when the fad was to snort Pixy Stix. How about Jolt soda? "All the sugar and twice the caffeine."

I used to always get now and laters, sneaking because my mom didn't let me have the chewy stuff.

How about the pac man ice creams that the ice cream truck used to have? I think it was lemon sherbet and he had a gumball eye...

We used to always go the store and get candy cigarettes and there were the wax bottles that had a colored sugar juice in them.

There was some kind of shredded beef jerky in a can that made it look like snuff. I loved that. Bottle caps candy, root beer flavor, yum!
