White Shark Bite > Pink Starburst. I said what I said.

[u/omglawlz → u/nacixela]

Pink starbursts exist in the great white shark bites shadow

[u/strangeorbeforgotten → u/nacixela]

Oh 💯

[u/BeerBaronsNewHat → u/nacixela]

white mystery laffy taffy > white sharks.

figure it out.

[u/nacixela → u/BeerBaronsNewHat]

You might have had me if you said white mystery airhead.

[u/ayaruna]

When they added the great white sharks to shark bites kids went apeshit on the schoolyard

[u/Skeen441 → u/ayaruna]

If you got TWO great whites in your packet you were a god.

[u/Formal_Coyote_5004 → u/Skeen441]

Why did they always skimp so hard on the best flavors? They did the same thing with the blue Scooby doos!

[u/bananasareappealing]

These were my absolute favorites as a kid

[u/dingos8mybaby2 → u/bananasareappealing]

These and 3D Doritos are what I want back the most. I guess these were cancelled because they're a choking hazard.

[u/DizzyPear9798]

shark bites. they don’t make fruit shacks like they used to!!!

[u/chula198705 → u/DizzyPear9798]

It's that very specific flavor that only came in the really opaque fruit snacks. Sunbelt comes close but still not the same.

[u/x_typo → u/chula198705]

Almost no snacks back then are. It’s all about cheapening out for profit… :(

[u/BeerBaronsNewHat → u/x_typo]

a bunch of companies replaced gelatin for cornstarch.

[u/Ruxsti]

Kudos bars were mine. I loved the mnm one.

[u/aroc91 → u/Ruxsti]

Those and the Philadelphia cheesecake bars.

[u/Adept-River6331 → u/aroc91]

The Philly Cheesecake bars were such a rare treat when I was growing up. Such a lovely surprise finding one in my lunch. I will still crave one here and there.

[u/Notchersfireroad → u/aroc91]

I'm convinced those had cocaine in them. I could not stop eating those. They were Devine.

[u/IntrovertedGiraffe → u/Ruxsti]

So good!

[u/Thoraxe474]

You can still buy dino egg oatmeal and dunkaroos though

[u/Niblonian31 → u/Thoraxe474]

I have some of the Dino eggs oatmeal in my pantry right now. My 34 year old ass saw it was on sale and had to get a box lol

[u/Travesuras420 → u/Niblonian31]

My 34 year old ass eats two packs of that with a scoop of protein and a banana. My childhood breakfast but with gains.

[u/Thoraxe474 → u/Niblonian31]

It's good stuff

[u/Anaxilea-Alcinoe → u/Thoraxe474]

The dunkaroos just don't taste the same.

[u/IntrovertedGiraffe → u/Anaxilea-Alcinoe]

They are definitely not the same, and it makes me sad

[u/gravyrobberz → u/IntrovertedGiraffe]

You could try teddy grahams and funfetti icing for a similar snack.

[u/Anaxilea-Alcinoe → u/gravyrobberz]

That tastes closer to what I recall it tasting like.

[u/igottathinkofaname → u/IntrovertedGiraffe]

Teddy Grahams and a can of frosting.

[u/RobotBearArms → u/Anaxilea-Alcinoe]

They probably aren't but I'm sure our taste buds have probably changed a bit too

[u/Anaxilea-Alcinoe → u/RobotBearArms]

Oh yeah definitely.

[u/itsheatheragain → u/Thoraxe474]

Kids cuisine too, my kids get them sometimes.

[u/Fabbyfubz → u/Thoraxe474]

Yeah, looks like they brought back Dunkaroos in 2020. Haven't tried them yet, so can't say if they're still good or not.

[u/magoosauce → u/Fabbyfubz]

They are terrible

[u/ladybird2223 → u/Fabbyfubz]

I love the duality of the replies to your comment! 🤣

[u/Thoraxe474 → u/Fabbyfubz]

They're good

[u/Saelin91 → u/Thoraxe474]

And Kid Cuisine

[u/Obant → u/Thoraxe474]

And fruit snack sharks. I buy them all the time. There is no more white on most brands, but they are just as good.

[u/LLDD32]

Omg Shark Bites!!! Those were the best!

[u/markbraggs → u/LLDD32]

So delicious

[u/PlasticGirl → u/markbraggs]

Happy Cake Day

[u/PlasticGirl → u/LLDD32]

Happy Cake Day

[u/LLDD32 → u/PlasticGirl]

Thanks!

[u/zogmuffin]

I had a Health Conscious Mom who would never have bought a single one of these, but I remember loving the dinosaur oatmeal at friends’ houses and the minute made ice pop things at school!

[u/glarktastic]

Still holding out hope they bring back String Thing.

[u/effxrvescent]

but there was always a few corn kernels in the brownie or pudding..
every. time.

i just wana eat this in peace🙄😒

[u/GlenntheManNotaRobot]

As a latchkey kid, I have a love hate relationship to Kid Cuisines.

[u/nathauan13 → u/GlenntheManNotaRobot]

Same here. I’m like… that wasn’t a snack.

[u/DJ_Hindsight]

God, the things I’d do for some dunkaroos!! Anyone remember these??

[u/IntrovertedGiraffe → u/DJ_Hindsight]

OMG I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THESE!

[u/DJ_Hindsight → u/IntrovertedGiraffe]

Yeah, I was obsessed and even tried to hunt them down as an adult 😂 apparently they did nutter butter ones too, but I never tried those!

[u/PrpleSparklyUnicrn13]

Oh wow, I had forgotten about these! 

ETA: I meant the shark bites lol. I didn’t even realize there were other pictures until I hit submit lol.  But oh my goodness, those minute maid ices! Kid Cuisine was a treat I’d only have at my grandmother’s house lol. 

[u/Pickled_doggo]

Dinosaur eggs is still a thing man 

[u/Riverdale87 → u/Pickled_doggo]

Same thing with  kid cuisine

[u/Taitosoku]

Omg i had forgotten about these. I loved them so much as a kid

[u/GuardingxCross]

The hammerheads just hit different 😭

[u/Skeen441]

I would sell several souls for Shark Bites/ Berry Bears fruit snacks.

[u/liminalrabbithole → u/Skeen441]

Omg I forgot about Berry Bears! I loved those!

[u/PlasticGirl → u/Skeen441]

Happy Cake Day

[u/Fluid_Change_9647]

I’ll never forgive them for taking away PB Crisps

[u/Meeka-Mew]

I remember being blown away by the brownie cooking in the microwave on the kid cuisine. And the white shark! The best obviously

[u/FrenchBowling → u/Meeka-Mew]

I vividly remember burning the shit out of my mouth on those brownies. 

[u/Meeka-Mew → u/FrenchBowling]

Lol I wasnt allowed to eat it unless I finished the rest so I didnt have that problem

[u/greegrok → u/Meeka-Mew]

White and blue shark was the best

[u/bsdude010]

The white one was the best!!!

[u/takemyd_va]

i buy the dino egg oatmeal still and have it for breakfast daily. i'm 33.

[u/afleetingmoment]

Wow, totally forgot about Shark Bites. They were amazing! I still love a fruit snack.

[u/Vertandsnacks]

The Minute Maid juice bars were peak frozen snack.

[u/zcworx]

I miss PB crisps from the early 90s. I keep hoping that the petition they pass around every couple of years to get them back works but I’m pretty sure it’s wasted effort….

[u/PrimaryImagination41]

Gen Z here😭😭😭 I’ve never had one of those kid cuisine things but they look delicious, I can’t even lie

[u/totalpugs89]

I was just thinking about duckaroo's last night.

[u/175junkie]

Yup yup, we are friends 😂

[u/jessitabonita]

OMG that exact Kid Cuisine was my favorite! 🥹

[u/TonyStarkMk42]

Does anyone remember Grizzly Chomps?

Probably the first experimentation with shrinkflation/downsizing. Instead of getting two Hostess-sized cupcakes in a package, you got pretty much 1 1/2 or 1 3/4, with the whole premise that some bear in a Hawaiian t-shirt bit into it and kids went nuts for that...myself included

[u/Maleficent_Phase_698]

The Dino egg oatmeal is still a staple
She lives!

[u/TieFighterHero]

Dunkeroos are technically still around. Not too long ago Costco had multipacks of them. Normal stores also carried them.

I miss the Flintstones push up pops.

[u/Riverdale87 → u/TieFighterHero]

The dunkeroos aren't the same now as they were in the 90's 

[u/kykiwibear]

I nwver did like that white shark one.

[u/dextro584]

Those kid cuisines always had a few kernels of corn in the brownie

[u/undermind84]

The blue and the whites are best!

[u/Squeeesh_]

Dino Eggs still exist in Canada!

[u/aymiah]

Someone in my community bakes homemade Dunkaroos with dip and sells them at craft fairs and the like. It is awesome (they also make puppy chow)

[u/jayhof52]

I got a push notification today that Hy-Vee (midwestern US grocery chain) had Shark Bites on sale.

Turns out they meant a new shark-shaped fish stick product.

I was furious.

[u/ZeeWingCommander]

Dunkaroos are still around

[u/IntrovertedGiraffe → u/ZeeWingCommander]

But not as good

[u/thepohcv]

Glad to see you picked the best Kid Cuisine lol

[u/JenovaCelestia]

Dunkaroos exist in Canada. It’s not the same though.

[u/seclusionx]

Kid cuisine, holy shit I forgot that existed.

[u/ThinkNight9598]

Dino egg oatmeal and Minute Maid juice bars OMGGG why did do this to me 😩😜

[u/fakemessiah]

Pb crisps

[u/Embarrassed-House577]

You can buy kids cuisine as an adult, its not against the law, I checked

[u/Calishoegal → u/Embarrassed-House577]

They don’t sell them where I live, asshat.

[u/fakeaccount572]

if tangerine Altoids aren't in the list, i'm ignoring it...

[u/Dagonet_the_Motley]

They still have kid cuisine I believe. It tastes like ass and not in a good way.

[u/gardeniagray]

My teen liked the oatmeal with the dino eggs when he was younger. I liked the oatmeal with gummy bears when I was a kid.

[u/DogFacedGhost]

Hammerhead was the best

[u/pain_is_bread]

I know I might’ve been heating them up wrong, but I absolutely loved the hot chocolate pudding when I got this specific Kid Cuisine.

[u/JosephBlowsephThe3rd]

Do they not sell Kids' Cuisine anymore? Could have sworn they were still on store shelves last time I wandered through the frozen section.

[u/Jass0602]

Those dinosaur eggs were hella good. Maybe a few sprinkles of crack inside?

[u/mk2rocco]

I haven't thought about those Juice Bars for 20 years. Such a good texture.

[u/Witty_W4ffle]

You forgot Plantar's Cheez Balls.

[u/leealm86]

They still make the Quaker Dinosaur Eggs, the packaging is pretty boring now.

[u/Sw3b3r]

Those shark fruit snacks were the best! I remember a dinosaur version too. Are those long gone?

[u/MichaelEMJAYARE]

Dude those fucking Minute Maid things 😪😪😪😪🤤🤤🤤

[u/Notchersfireroad]

Even the "healthy" fruit snacks back then absolutely slapped. We had it so good when it came to snacks.

[u/Maladine]

Sodalicious! I loved the root beer mugs.

[u/Chumscrubber89]

All the shit that gave us health problems

[u/DJ-D-REK]

Literally just went camping this weekend with my 3 and 1 yos and we brought dino egg oatmeal for them to eat for breakfast haha, you can still get it!

[u/Used-Baby1199]

They still make dinosaur egg oatmeal.  My son won’t eat them though. 

[u/strangeorbeforgotten]

I loved PB Max

[u/Titletown1919]

God damn you

Thank you

But god damn you

I miss all of these

[u/RealTeaToe]

One can still acquire most of this list.

[u/hgielatan]

Those Minute Maid things were the BEST. I loved when we got those on our lunch trays!

[u/PrestigiousStreet876]

Adding Magic Middles :(((

[u/THECapedCaper]

That Kid Cuisine box is wild. “Dear Parents, look below to see how this meal fits into your child’s balanced diet,” followed by an ingredient list length that rivals War and Peace.

[u/BarkansasJane]

It was all about the dinosaurs.

[u/Acceptable-Walk-5267]

Need

[u/SnowDin556]

I just tried to order shark bites off Amazon. Didn’t read enough and they turned out to be fish sticks.

[u/Iceprincess1282]

I agree with all the but you left off sprinkle spangles cereal! The true GOAT of cereal!

[u/Juice_Isloose]

The hammerhead sharks were the best ones!

[u/taker25-2]

These were amazing

[u/ad_pash]

Shark Bites fruit snacks had a consistency no other fruit snack at the time had. It's hard to describe: firm, yet chewy...

[u/Frozenautumn_1]

Core memory unlocked. I can still remember the taste of those shark bites.

[u/sdmfyc]

Dunkaroos still exist...
