I lived in a tiny middle of nowhere town but those turtle pies still made it to our tiny grocery store and me and my sister gobbled them up! We would also sometimes go to work with my mom in the nearest city mostly to listen for the ice cream truck and run out and buy some turtle ice pops! Cowabunga! Thanks for the memories, Ed!
You missed out on the Ninja Turtles Ice Cream Gumball treats, they were actually pretty good! In the USA of course, but I was very young at the time. They had Ninja Turtles, Mario, Link, Zelda, some other popular game stuff but I didn't pay attention, I think I saw Mr. T. if I am not mistaken.
Lots of memories here. Particularly the puddin pies. I remember it like it was yesterday being at the IGA with my Grandma and Grandpa and they bought one for me and I remembered back then it was really good. Too bad they don't make something similar anymore. Also remember the Turtles shaped cookies and would have them after school when watching reruns of the old Batman TV show.
Idk how this showed up in my recommendation, knowing that I have never searched for anything related to TMNT on RUclips. Growing as a kid in the late 80’s, this brought a tear to my eye. I remember 75% of the items in your video. You have a grown man in his 30’s in tears (nostalgia) from seeing childhood snacks. Liked and subscribed !
Wow. The pies were heavenly, the gummies I remember liking them, and I miss the ice pops including the new ones. I remember trying the pasta and thinking it was gross. I miss the pies so much.
they weren't rare at the time...but they were only planned as a 20-week promotion. So, as far as TMNT stuff goes, they were one of the most rare products.
Nice video Ed! Lots of cool 😎 info here on The turtles 🐢. I remember those turtle frozen bars from the ice cream truck back in the day. My kids get the minion bars now.
Winner of one of the Turtles Cereal contests here. Bodacious times not had when you watch your parents give away almost every toy because they completely fill an entire room in your house.
Omg the good memory. I remember refusing every other treats, candy, cookies, I've cream, crackers and ect unless it had teenage mutant ninja turtles! lol 💛💚
I was in high school and college in the 90's and I still bought and ate most of the items here. Everything but that Canadian cereal, pork rinds, McCain pizza and Royal gelatin. The net cereal was excellent, as were those amazing ooze pies and the apple cinnamon cookies that came in that little truck box you held up at the beginning.
I remember when the cereal with the bowls came out. Around here people were stealing the bowls off the boxes. Don't know if other places suffered from that. Never could find one with the bowl.
The mini pizzas and the ice cream bars are what I remember the best, they served the ice cream bars at the elementary school I was at, along with those great Mickey Mouse bars.
The Ice Cream Truck had them around town when I was younger and all sorts of other video game characters around the late 80's to 80's when I was a young kid. I had the Turtles Ice Cream with Gumballs in it, I absolutely loved it and they were rather big. Good times!
hey very cool, nice podcast! i wouldnt even think to do a podcast on the collectable tmnt foods - pretty cool... and took me back!! keep it up!!!!! luv the video.
Wow all these food items brung back memories. I was in the voting in bringing back the hostess pies. Didn't they also have chef boyadree turtle shaped noodles and tomato sauce? I definitely mis the good ol 90s
I can't believe I had forgotten about some of these! I ate or at least saw most of these when I was a kid, but there were some that I never knew. Great video! That's a like and sub from me!
I love the way you say "brothers" so much with your accent. I thought you had a really thick New Jersey accent for the longest time. lol I have the Leo and Raph Royal gelatins in the box. The art looks so great.
I was a sucker as a kid for anything turtles I drove my mom crazy for this stuff she never wanted me to eat all that junk and when she finally gave in I got so sick from all that sugar and junk learned my lesson lol.
I used to LOVE the TMNT Ice Cream Bars when I was a kid. I only remember my local small-town grocery store having them for a very limited time, though. I can still remember where I was the first time I ate one of them. I completely forgot about those gummie things. I didn't really like them, but I ate them because I loved TMNT lol. I also remember getting those Cups from the cereal. I swear we had those things in the cabinet for 15-years. So nostalgic.
I remember Ellio’s Pizza had cut our cards on the back of the box for the first movie. There was a also a Rocket Bomber ice bar with the 4 mask colors.
i had the tmnt ice cream bar once when i was a kid, it was also the only time in my life i have got ice cream from an ice cream man truck. i remember it was great; so many years of my life are a blur but i remember that day because of the ice cream and my family went to visit a friend and we got to ride a boat on a lake so it was a very special day. this video hit me right in the nostalgia feels. still waiting to see the tmnt metal trash can show up. still got it in my closet with my toys in it.
Mate, you just reminded me of TMNT pizza. 🍕 that was really quite good and I totally looked forward to it on the weekend when my dad would buy them for me. I appreciate all your hard work about all the merchandising for these properties because it gets me excited about stuff from my childhood. Thanks again!
I remember in the late 80's to early 90's, when I was little, I would always see an ice cream truck and my parents would buy us popular Ice Cream snacks, the Turtles featured in this video was one of them! They were rather big and of course, had gum as the eyeballs. They had Mario, Zelda, Link, Turtles and some others I cannot remember, but, I saw it several times after and would get more but after that, I never saw it again. Good times, Cowagumball!
I remember eating the turtle pizzas exactly 30 years ago in the Christmas holidays. I remember the apple flavoured one. No-one my age that I've asked remembers them! Whenever I taste that fake apple flavour in sweets it reminds me of them.
Wow 😮 You brought back some good old times for me. To think about it 🤔 There's no candy featuring The T.M.N.T Talking about it, I have to go check on eBay or Amazon to see what I can buy. Thanks for the Great Times I had to subscribe to your Channel Keep it up.
You should do some videos on all the toy, trading card, & sticker premiums that came in food products (tmnt especially). And happy meals too. I'd definitely be watching.
When you bought that Cookie Crisp with the turtle cup, the cups has a feature where the bandana would change color when you put a cold drink in them, from white to one of the four turtle's respective colors. Problem was, it was impossible to tell what cup was what turtle in the store, since the bandana as always white. So child me had the genius idea to take some frozen peas from the freezer and press them to every cup to make sure we got one of each turtle.
I'm not a big fan of peanut butter kisses (PB flavored taffy), but I bought a large pack of them because it was in a lidded tin bucket covered in TMNT graphics. I still have a bunch of TMNT ephemera, like stickers, Pez dispensers, wrappers from the pudding pies, newspaper articles, Popsicle sticks, trading cards, and so on, stored in that tin. The cereal bowl and color changing mug are somewhere in a kitchen cupboard, I think. The cereal was basically rice chex with marshmallows and wasn't really my bag. The Crunchabungas were... awful, if I recall correctly. As to the pudding pies: The crust wasn't bad but, for me, that was a lot of vanilla pudding to slug down in one sitting.
The tmnt cereal was actually amazing. And I still have my tmnt metal tv dinner trays lol. Man this video is great. I forgot all about lots of these. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Ebay here I come! Also, theres an instagram account dedicated to tmnt pies. Should check it out.
Oh man i remember they had a lot of tmnt candies by the kbtoys register, there was something like the airheads one with a sour citrus flavor and marbled green colors, havent found anything on it ever
Dude, I used to have the bowls from the TMNT cereal and the mug from the Cookie Crisp promo, but the only only one of those promo products I distinctly remember which character I had was the cookie coin bank, it was Raph. I've got a TMNT2 flip book lying around here somewhere from one of the food products, possibly the cereal. It's missing the front cover so I don't know.
Here in Mexico we got Ninja Turtles' water ice popsicles. They came in two flavors: lemon, with a green envelope depicting the Turtles, and cola, with a purple envelope depecting Shredder and his minions. You traded the envelopes for stickers to put on a Ninja Turtles' sticker album (sold separately).
I remember having a turtle shaped sucker that came packaged with a rubber finger puppet over the sucker. If memory serves right, the finger puppet was made out of a thin green rubber. I’m not sure if they were something that was official or if they were a bootleg item.
Back in the day my cousin brought from Canada a rather small box of mini cookies shaped like the turtle's face, but with bandana and defined features, unlike the ones in the video, also the illustrations on the box were like those on the back of the cards of the action figures.
The turtle pies were hands down the greatest things ever as a kid. They need to bring those back
Yes they really should
I ate so many of those green slime pies as a kid. They sold them at the corner store.
Yummie 😜
Wish they'd bring them back even if not Turtles themed. They were delicious.
They were so good, so much custard in em
Same! Here in NYC you could find them in bodegas all the time. They were so good!
Me too! I was surprised to hear him say they were rare.

Saw the title and immediately thought of the Hostess TMNT pies. OMG those shits were so good lol.
Wow. The pies were heavenly, the gummies I remember liking them, and I miss the ice pops including the new ones. I remember trying the pasta and thinking it was gross. I miss the pies so much.
Not everyone was a fan of the pasta 😜
Wow, that was hands down the best single comprehensive video on TMNT products I’ve seen on RUclips. You got yourself a new subscriber!!
Thanks for watching 🤓
I still have my cereal bowls in my kitchen to this day
The fruit snacks and icecream pops are what I remember most
Ice cream 🥶😋
I would love to see an aisle at a toy store dedicated to the Turtles again.
I ate the pie all the time. Didn’t seem rare.
So it was you that ate em all! 😜
Ed's Retro Geek Out shat green for months. Haha
they weren't rare at the time...but they were only planned as a 20-week promotion. So, as far as TMNT stuff goes, they were one of the most rare products.
Omfg!!!!😭 I remember the pies!!!! I haven't until now!!!😮😮😮😩😩 That's so cool!!!
Nice video Ed! Lots of cool 😎 info here on The turtles 🐢. I remember those turtle frozen bars from the ice cream truck back in the day. My kids get the minion bars now.
Minions are cool but turtles are cooler 🤣
Oh my God those Turtle bowls/cups were freaking awesome I wish I still had mine. Those pies where so good!!!
Thanks for watching 🤓
I have the old BK toys and the color-changing mug still, and never knew where they were from until this video! Radical!
Awesome 🤓
I remember the turtle cereal bowl!! I loved that thing.
6:01 can we just appreciate that art work
Does anyone remember those TMNT Gummi candies made by Alma-Leo?! Screw gummy bears. That was my go to gummy candy lol.
So much nostalgia. I remember owning and eating like 90 percent of these
Cowabunga 😁
Those microwavable turtle pizzas were amazing. They barely had any cheese, but it was the bread that was the treat.
Carbzz 🤤🤤
I remember when I got the TMNT frozen pizzas as a kid, there was a Turtle mask printed on the back of the box that you could cut out and wear.
I liked it when you could play with the cardboadd

No way that would break my heart having all of it and then not getting to keep it. Do you remember what you all got?
Omg the good memory. I remember refusing every other treats, candy, cookies, I've cream, crackers and ect unless it had teenage mutant ninja turtles! lol 💛💚
i ate the cereal and had to bowls and spoons too lol what a awesome throw back
Spoons awesome 🤯
I 100% remember those TMNT gummies. They were great. There were also a few other show lines that used the mold filled gummie as well.
Yummie gummie ☺️🍕
I was in high school and college in the 90's and I still bought and ate most of the items here. Everything but that Canadian cereal, pork rinds, McCain pizza and Royal gelatin. The net cereal was excellent, as were those amazing ooze pies and the apple cinnamon cookies that came in that little truck box you held up at the beginning.
I need some cookies 😄🍕
Wow! I’m getting so many flashbacks from this video. I forgot about most of this stuff.
Thanks for watching 🤓
I remember all of those lol. My favorites were the cereal, pies, and the ice creams
This was a fun trip down memory lane. 🐢
I remember that cereal actually being really good. Wish I had gotten to try one of the pies.
Aw yeah 😁
The pies was so awesome n the green pudding inside was mm mm good
Those ice cream pops were my shiz
Chase that ice cream man 😂
I would love some of those ☃️
I had the Turtles Ice Cream pops with Gumballs, pretty good stuff! :D
I was around maybe 5 or so then.
Another thing, the TMNT ice bars are very much available here in America. I buy them regularly and they’re an all time fav!
I remember when the cereal with the bowls came out. Around here people were stealing the bowls off the boxes. Don't know if other places suffered from that. Never could find one with the bowl.

Oo was that an ice cream pie I was pictured? That sounds good.
It's been almost 20+ years and every now and then I almost shed a tear when I walk by the cereal aisle knowing ill never see it again. :'(
Cereal was better in the 90’s no vitamines applied just sugary goodness 😁
hey very cool, nice podcast! i wouldnt even think to do a podcast on the collectable tmnt foods - pretty cool... and took me back!! keep it up!!!!! luv the video.
Thanks 🤓
I often ate some of those Tmnt micro wave dinners. 😄 memories
Awesome 🥳
Those turtle pies were pretty good.
👨🍳 pudding is always good
I remember the plastic turtle cookie jar. Got them at the now defunct department store Venture.
😁 cool

Ice bars 👌🍕
We had the pies in the vending machines at Jr. High. I probably ate 30 of them over the two pie campaigns!
Oooh that’s a good vending machine 🌝😜😁
Seen the concert in person plus loved the hostess pies
The turtle pie and the ice cream turtle head with bubblegun eyes!!!!! They were good then.
