What Was the Most Popular Junk Food From Every Decade In the 20th Century?

- Weird History Food is taking you on a Junk Food trip, through each decade, to see what were the most popular foods and snacks. The most impressive aspect of junk food developed throughout the 20th century is just how many of the inventions stuck around.
Before the Industrial Revolution, most of what we would now consider “junk food” was made at home on a small scale. While the invention of the steel mill and steam power was certainly useful and revolutionary, the more whimsical effects of the societal overhaul are worthy of analysis as well. The developments in food science expanded while mass production grew more sophisticated, enabling the American public to experience a wide array of new snacks.

What's your favorite snack or candy?
It used to be Milk Duds until they removed the cocoa butter and replaced it with vegetable oil. Now it's Skittles. Or Peanut M&Ms. Or frozen Snickers. 😋
Snacks = Cheetos. Candy = anything strawberry or lemon flavored
Twix all the way and Chip's Ajoy💗💗
My favorite snack is chips and cheese sauce
Favorite candy Twizzlers (pull n peel) watermelon or apple flavor
Dunkaroos actually made a resurgence in 2020. I remember them being swiped from shelves but they’re now making everything with them from cookies, cereal and the classic frosting and cookie packs
Yeah, I been buying for some time, just a few days ago too
Yeah totally! I just saw dunkaroos in the store not even a week ago, that's why I was kind of shocked when you said it was canceled and discontinued... Dunkaroos are still alive and kicking!!! And at a store near you 👍
Yup, I was so happy to see them back. They’re not quite as good as they used to be though, at least IMO.
I have some in my cabinet
Yeah I recently noticed at my job that we still carry Dunkaroos at the checkout shelves. Definitely giving them a taste now
For me my most memorable thing about crackerjacks was anytime we encountered a bad driver my dad would say, "Where'd they get their license a box of cracker jacks?"
3 Musketeers bars were named that because Mars' original plan was to have 3 different nougat flavours in one chocolate bar: chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. This proved too difficult to manufacture in practice so Mars decided to only use the chocolate nougat filling, but still kept the name.
Actually that was the original bar. Older friends have told me about this. Then at some point like you said it changed to just chocolate. But no it was never a plan, but an actuality.
@@TakBonez I remember TV ads from the late 1950s, mentioning three identical bars in the package. The TV announcer said, "Keep one, and share the other two with your friends." I guess this was too labor-intensive, cause after a while, the package had one big bar.
🤔
Dang a neapolitan bar sounds delicious
Why not just release all three. As separate bars but under the same name they could've made 3 mascots for all 3 flavors all 3 bars and made a lot of money
I remember being a little girl growing up in the 80’s. My mom would sit me in the front of the shopping cart and give me a box of Animal Crackers (the one with the string handle). I’d eat it while she did her shopping and then she’d pay for the empty box. Every single week, the same cookies! Good times!
Barnum's animal crackers. I have a 1 year old grandson, I had to find them for him. They're in a bag now but taste like childhood.
My great grandmother would always get those exact boxes for me when I was little!
Those animal crackers taste awful
My mom did the same thing! And our grocery store was on a street corner in our neighborhood, owned by a Lebanese family. Loved that store!
Me too
I was a '90s baby and 2000s child, and though I didn't get to have these "treat" type foods super often, the ones I remember having the most were Gogurts, Lunchables, Fruit by the Foot, Chips Ahoy (though I slightly preferred Chips Deluxe, as they were a little more rich and chewy and the chocolate chips were bigger/more abundant), and to a somewhat lesser degree, Oreos. I tried the Fruit Gushers and Fruit Roll-Ups, but Fruit by the Foot won out by far. I remember in the elementary school cafeteria we would sometimes roll our Fruit by the Foots all the way out, and hold them up next to each other to see how tall we were compared to them. Now that I've typed this all out, it's kind of weird to think how prominently some of this junk food features in some of my childhood memories...I mean, it does't play a big part, but clearly enough of one that I felt compelled to write a comment about it...
I remember as a child I would get a box of 12 Life Saver roles in 12 flavors for Christmas.
Remember the commercial with the Nigerian vocalists, the one that ended with that resounding "yummmm"?
The ones that looked like a small Christmas book, but when you opened it up there were 6 rolls of Life Savers on each side?
I still get those my my grandparents
@@KaylaNoelle1 they just don't have as many rolls in them these days. They're called the Sweet Storybook. It used to be a story book, too.
@@f1guremeout I think it was Ladysmith Black Mombazo who did the vocals, but I could be wrong.
I remember having Luncables combined with Go-Gurt and a Capri-Sun as a kid in the 90's here in Germany. Good times🙌
Only of these products that's still available here is Capri-Sun.
Capri-Sonne ist ja auch eine deutsche Erfindung aus Heidelberg
@@FreterP japp, habe ich auch neulich erfahren. Hatte aber auch bis dahin immer gedacht das es eine amerikanische Sache wäre.
@@FreterP Bei dem ganzen Geschrei um Verpackungsmüll und dem Hate gegen Junkfood generell, wundert es mich aber trotzdem das Capri-Sonne bis heute noch erhältlich ist. Zwar mit Pappstrohhalm, aber trotzdem.
You guys don’t have Go Gurts??
@@jaxsonharper9091 No, unfortunately not anymore 😔
I have a real Reese's addiction. I don't like to indulge in too many sweets, but Reese's is the perfect combination of salty and sweet.
dude there's like 20 Reeses, which one?
@@214warzone he refers to the classic one
Reeses isn't salty
@@214warzone I have a pet rock to sell your dumb ass lol
@@alabamatrixie7379 judging by your username I’m going too assume you have way to much jizz in your diet to taste salt anymore lol
The fact that he called Tootsie Rolls chocolate taffy blew my mind. For some reason I never thought of Tootsie Rolls as taffy
It was only a handful of years ago that I realized Tootsie Rolls were taffy myself, so you're not alone on that, lol.
We thought it was chocolate
Same!!! And Mike&Ikes being elongated jellybeans. Whattttt
Same here
I never did either!
Cracker Jacks!! Oh, my gosh, that used to be one of my staples in the early 90s! I LIVED for that prize. Amazing how much joy a tiny piece of paper could bring. Of course we couldn't have them very often, so when we did it was even more of a treat. I remember when the prizes were "fancier" and when they stopped including prizes altogether. I never realized their history was that long. Wish it had been longer. :(
Take me out to the ball gameSONG LYRICS
Take me out to the ball game.
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack.
I don’t care if I never get back.
Let me root, root, root for the home team.
If they don’t win it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out.
At the old ball game!

It is called Cracker Jill now because feminism sucks.
I think middle aged adults made charcuterie boards popular because we grew up on lunchables.
I am 40 and just had a lunchable for the first time. The meat was slimey. I couldnt swallow it
@Flickawho - omggggg you may be onto something here 😧
(90s kid)
Was there anything less satisfying than a lunchable?
@@plnkfloydian7814 there simply wasn’t. And my mom loved that ish; put it in a lunch box w/ an icepack and lunch is done lol.
Ahem, most people who grew up on Lunchables are NOT middle aged just yet! I could be wrong, but though Lunchables were invented in the late 80s they didn't become massively popular until a few years later. So the oldest kids who grew up on Lunchables are maybe late 30s-early 40s.
Sorry, but as a 34 year old who had Lunchables almost every day at school I take offense to that! Also I should add that the first time I heard the term "charcuterie board" was from a hipster co-worker that's 10 years younger than me.
Ahhh Sour Patch….feel the blisters on the roof of my mouth just thinking about those! Love them!😂
After they added the blue raspberry flavor, they started making all kinds of varieties! They just came out with a "less sour" peach flavor, personally I would have liked it to be just as sour as the rest of their candy. The strawberry and watermelon is on point though 👌
@@laneatkinson6441 that and sour peach rings! NUM NUM!
@@pagalmasala Mmmm, I love peach rings! I actually had peach rings before ever tasting a real peach...can you tell I'm American? 😅😂
I Did that as a teenager when Sweetarts came out at 5 cents a pack. We would go to Woolworth and get them. My tongue was sore and still couldn't get Enough of them.
Funny, I was actually eating Sour Patch Kids while I watched this video.
I'm not an Oreo hater. Don't @ me. I miss Hydrox. Because when I was a kid, Hydrox had "original flavor" I guess, and also one type with a brown chocolate dot in the center of the usual filling, one with a pink strawberry dot in the center, and one with a green mint dot (again in the center). So when my mom took me shopping, I needed a moment to decide which ones I wanted. My favorite were the ones with the chocolate dot. 🍫🍫🥰🥰
they started selling hydrox again on amazon
I always thought Hydrox was the copycat of Oreo, not the other way round…
I remember the fruit gushers and gogurt commercials of the 90's! Everyone at my school cafeteria wanted fruit gushers in their lunchbox lol but my mom would always make me pack my lunch so it was definitely a rarity! Great video Weird History!
I just wanna say I love this channel. Been binging every video today. I love food history.
DUNKAROOS ARE STILL AVAILAVLE! I'm looking at a box of them right now. They're made by General Mills in Missasauga, Ontario, and are available everywhere in Canada.
They’re available in the US too, at least in my state. Was General Mills the original creator of them? If not, maybe that’s where the video creators got the idea that they’re completely gone.
I live in Michigan and I found some at my local grocery store
Have them everywhere here in Nebraska too 😂
@@Ahshie do you guys have the Dunkaroos cereal too? It’s everywhere in Ohio!
They were recently re-released in America
Fantastic video! 👍
I would like to see a Weird History video about Automats and the food preparation that was involved and why they are no longer a thing.
They didn't catch on except in the Northeast.
Yes please!
One of my new favorite channels, keep up the great work and editing. I am always up for more pizza history, that's mostly all I eat lately, frozen pizza is great, but I like the ones you get in the fridge section a lot more.
I loved Cracker Jacks! When I was little, my mom's school district threw a Christmas party every year for the kids of the school employees. We'd sit on the cafeteria floor, eating Cracker Jacks, while the high school kids sang and danced. We also had those little boxes with the fake tattoos or a little toy inside.
I was born in the mid 1980s; some of these foods are older than I would have thought. Lunchables were popular for school and scout field trips.
The best thing by about lunchables when they came out was the dill sauce.
Dunkaroos were discontinued but they’ve been back on the shelves, at least sporadically, for the last 2 years or so.
Yea I see Dunkaroos at gas stations and the grocery stores all the time.
You can find them pretty easily in east Tennessee
Arrowroot cookie + Nutella = adult sized dunkaroos
They sadly taste absolutely disgusting. Taste nothing like the old ones. Completely different recipe now.
Probably the store just found some old boxes in the basement. Check the expiration date
Weird History should do a video on Pringles! They've got a true history much weirder than the urban myth that they were originally a tennis ball company.
(RIP Mitch Hedberg)
I liked Hydrox. Better than I liked Oreos. There's my unpopular opinion. Where I grew up, you could get either, then Hydrox just disappeared. This seemed to coincide with the point that people were saying that Hydrox were vegan and Oreos weren't. I've heard you can still buy them, but not in my area.
So you kinda can...in boxes of 6 packages at a time from Amazon.
But yeah they're better. The cream and chocolate are less sweet and they soak up milk far better
Long live Hydrox!!!
I got some a few years ago when they brought them back temporarily for their anniversary.
Oreos changed their recipe ages ago and most US vegans consider them vegan-friendly now (depends on how they feel about uncertainty in how the sugar is filtered, through bone char or charcoal made from plant matter). The only exceptions are some of the limited editions, which may have dairy. But no more lard for many decades.
PopTarts also have some vegan-friendly ones, at least the unfrosted brown sugar cinnamon ones are ok for me. Their frosting usually has gelatin in it. I don’t eat gelatin if I can avoid it, since I know where it’s been...
Cracker Barrel restaurant stores sell Hydrox.
Man I love this channel. 2 of my favorite subjects in one. Food, and history ❤️
I didn't have many sweets growing up, so the ones I have fondness for are those my grandparents shared with me-Peanut M & M's, Reese's Cups, Hershey's chocolate, Goldberg's Peanut Chews, and Tastykakes.
I loved Fruit Roll-ups and Fruit Gushers growing up. As for drinks, I also drank my fair share of Capri-suns, Mondo Fruit Squeezers, and Hi-C juice boxes.
All of these as a kid! But my household were kinda health conscious, so I only got them as treats and quite rarely.
Man way to stir my nostalgia. I remember the 90's commercial for all those snacks. Couldn't get into any of them and the Gushers commercials just frightened me. Seriously I thought gushers was going to make my head change as it does in the commercial.
I didn't know any better.
too bad, they were delicious. :P
The original Ben and Jerry's was opened in downtown Burlington, in a former gas station, not South Burlington. My mom was born and raised in Burlington and remembers when it opened up.
Sincerely, a Vermonter who likes your content very much. ❤️
@@jacobg236 @Jessie Hryniuk Looking it up, the original location was on St Paul St & College St. The map indicates that's outside of what is known as South Burlington right now.
Water boy
Sorry to break it to you .
Too bad about the leftist politics 😞
ALSO they’re not from vermont 😭 they’re from new york!! they met in high school!!!
My favorite snack is almost everything you mentioned here. I love snacking -in my childhood,teens, 2os, 30s & ros i could snack/eat as much as i eanted to and never gain one pound. Now i have to be more cautious - so when I allow myself to snack i really appreciate it.
I used to love the dark chocolate mounds bars, but the milk chocolate almond joy was good too. don't eat them much nowadays but they were my favorites...
*Two RUclipsrs bump into each other on the street *
"You got your History in my junk food!"
"You got your junk food in my History!"
And Weird History Food was born.
@weirdhistoryfood Dunkaroos are back, I began seeing them again about a year ago, they are just as sugary as always. In fact, I’m accustomed to sweet treats and my walk down memory lane left me feeling sick lol
My favorite candy bar was GOO GOO CLUSTER. More of a regional favorite, it is so tasty. Moon pies were also a favorite (banana). As for drinks, surprised Capri Sun wasn’t mentioned
Oh yes, the Goo Goo. They still sell them in Tennessee in every check-out line in every store. Food of the gods. 😄😇
Also surprised no mention of Handi-snacks or nerds!
Fascinating, though missing some information. One story for the invention of Cheetos was it was food for cows, Pop Tarts was initially called Fruit Scones and was changed to its name as a pun on the Pop Art movement, whilst Baby Ruth might have been named so in honour of Grover Cleveland's daughter.
On a separate note, my current favourite snack would have to be Planter's peanuts, Fisher's peanuts, or Blue Diamond smokehouse almounds, depending on what I am peckish for.
It's the funny job titles in this video for me. And snack history is ever interesting. Thanks!
This was a great video that took me down memory lane. My favorite fruit snack as a kid was called string thing
Two snacks I wish they'd make a comeback would be "Planters Cheesz Balls" and "Buterfinger BB's" I couldn't get enough of them! 😋
Planters cheez balls as well as Planters version of Cheetos have been back for a couple of years now as well.
@@scottstark5528
Guess I'm a clueless goober because I haven't seen or heard of their comeback where I am 😂
The balls and curlz are back in groceries now, but they’ve changed the cheese on them (or I’VE changed).
I never had the original, but the current Cheez Balls are better than other cheese puffs. I wish they didn't cost so much.
@@Off-with-a-bang Not around where I live either
This is awesome. I grew up in the 80"s. And I loved pop rocks
Same
Fun fact: they still serve M&Ms to the troops to this day! I’m told it’s always a pleasant point in your day to find a pack in the MRE
Tootsie Rolls have been my personal favorite sweet treat, because they cover three flavors all at once: chocolate, caramel and milk. I have a sweets drawer in my kitchen that always has some tootsies waiting for me - right next to the LifeSavers fruit candies.
Please make a popular junk food part 2 !! That would be awesome !!
😄😅😆🤣 Oh my gosh that episode of Lucy and Ethel working at the candy factory was hilarious! Thanks for reminding me of it! 👍👏😁🍫🍬
Speaking of Lucy....remember her trying to advertise Vitameatavegamin? She couldn't say it after a few sips! Spoiler alert: it had a lot of alcohol in it!
@@BakedRBeans Of course I remember that one! It's a classic, in my opinion. Yeah she sure got pretty looped. 😄🥃😉
@@wayne6777 Actually I don't remember that one. All I can picture is Abbott and Costello. 🤷♀️ ☺
Vita...meata...this stuff
I Love Lucy episode title: "Switching Jobs"
This was such a treat to watch!
It's so wierd getting closer to the end and actually seeing commercials I recognize from when I was really young, then to see the older commercials and think about my dad and how he probably saw some of those TV Ads. Just wierd to think about now the 1960s doesn't seem too long ago I wish my dad was younger ;-;
so interesting to see a timeline of a lot of my fav snack foods, such an incredible video.
Loved go gurt, fruit by the foot, and gushers growing up. Lots of nostalgia seeing those. Great video
Had Go Gurt once. I am sorry I had it at all. Repulsive, I fear.
I swear they changed Gogurt. I got a small taste a year or two ago at work. It tasted like Tums.
Jeez... not only did I gain 5 pounds just watching this, but now my teeth hurt!
There are so many great snacks and candies you can't choose just one!
I remember having a elementary class mate would always have fruit roll ups in his lunch box and everybody would try to trade him their food for his fruit roll up haha
Anybody else remember Charlie chips? They got delivered to your house in a truck in like a metal canister and they had some really good like Christmas I don't remember what was in the tins but does anyone else remember those potato chips in that company
Charles chips. Pretty sure you can still get them, the chips as a refill and the original can if you want or need one, at The Vermont County Store. I've been ordering from them for years. They have a great website and catalogs all year long. They specialize in products from the past, candy from the 50s and 60s 70s etc. . One of my faves was Bonomo Turkish Taffy. Vanilla, They have it. It came back a few years ago.
@@Donna-zc9ii Thank you so much!!!🥰🤗
My grandparents lived in Philedelphia and could order chips or pretzels by the can on, I believe, a weekly basis.
I remember C. Chips. Huge metal cannisters.
My grandparents bought them..early 80s..go pacers
I turn 40 this year and I remember being able to save up pennies and go down the road to the gas station and the guy that ran it was selling tootsie rolls for $.01 each. In fact, my brother and I used to go down there together with loads of pennies and buy a couple hundred at a time.
I always used to wonder why the guy got so crappy with us lol, now I realize.
the service station was split into 2 parts, a liquor store and a convenience store. the liquor store used to have a sign on it that said "unattended children will be sold as slaves" and he made a point to play the part. Can of soda was $.10, a 20oz was a quarter, small bag of chips were a quarter and so was a candy bar.
You kust be at least 90..mi cant fathom these prices and I was born in 92. We had penny candy and quarter chips but everything else no way...
@@evirareid1500 I’m 42 and cans of sodas was never 10 cents here
The thing i remember most being in elementary school in the 90s was when we had to take a lunch for school field trips i would search through all the available ones in the store until i found one that had that one single andes mint as the desert. the rest was just whatever that mint was everything. all this time later i am still a sucker for those andes mints and can easily make myself sick if left alone with a box of them.
Oh wow, as a kid in the 70s and 80s, those were something you got at almost every restaurant, either with the check or in a big bowl on the way out. LOVED them.
@@giraffesinc.2193 Remember reception sticks?
@@genxx2724 No! What was a reception stick???
I keep a regular stash of those
Andes are good but After Eight is the best.
I'm genuinely surprised that I should remember the introduction of Lunchables. I thought they were around for a lot longer.
This was very interesting I'm going to show a couple people that would enjoy this
I was a Hostess cupcake junkie! Although, Little Debbie's Swiss rolls were a decent substitute.
I really hope this channel blows up more. I Love the videos
Not surprised Oreos surpassed Hydrox in popularity. That is what happens when you give a food product a name that makes it sound like something to clean the sink or toilet with.
I always thought that Hydrox got its name from hydrogenated oils but apparently it's named after the base components of water as a name that conveys "goodness and purity".
Teddy Grahams were a status symbol at grade school lunchtime in my neck of the woods 🤣
I remember eating Reese's Pieces a lot after seeing E.T. coupled with original Pringles!😋
After one year after Reese's pieces commercials advertised e.t. they advertised another alien like character named cousin Willy
10:29 Once upon a time, Cheez Whiz contained real cheese...but not any more. It's rumored there is an actual piece of real cheese nearby where they manufacture Cheez Whiz.
A wonderful trip down memory lane.
5:53 Baby Ruth was not named after the baseball player. it was named after President Grover Cleveland's daughter, Ruth Cleveland
That’s what they said,that’s also the way they got away with it
They brought back dunkeroos. I can’t lie the convenient store in the next town over has them and I always get them when buying a new lighter
I remember when lunchables had two mini hotdogs variation and the taco variation those were my favorite.
Those mini hot dogs were so good
Do one about certs mints please
Great video 👍🏾
That was awesome. I really enjoyed the video. It brought back memories of my youth 😜 Something yummy for my tummy.
I was rised by a health mom...it was so fustrating to see all my friends have their junk food but l did learn to sneak food.l used to love walking to the nearest drug store and sneak oatmeal pies,rollo's, pop rocks and bubble tape.
My mom is a health nut, too. I was very resentful. But unlike most Americans, I have good health, I’m thin, and I’m not on medication.
Those foods are awesome! I have had every one of them (except that competitor with Hostess).
I am a big fan of Casey's Juju fish and Rainbow Twizzlers.
So many great snack foods.
Thank you for the video.
This looks like a very valuable channel....(I have only watched this video so far though).
Peanuts I'm sure were snacked on for well over 100 years, and are used as an ingredient in alot of those snacks. I'm wondering when my two favorites came on the seen, peanut brittle and honey roasted peanuts. Nothing better than coating a legume in sugar!
Toffee peanuts!!!
Peanuts were a profitable agricultural product long before the American Civil war. I found a song from the civil war era titled, I believe, "Sitting in the Shade, Eating Goober Peas". Goober Peas was a common name for peanuts in the south at that time.
@@ElizabethBattle
I love butter toffee peanuts. You should try my trick and stir the leavings from the bottom of a can into a jar of natural peanut butter. Creating what I call
Butter Toffee Peanut Butter. It's hella good snacking
Peanuts are legumes? Holy sh*t!
Very interesting video, it made me hungry! 😂😋
Altoid Sours! Raspberry and tangerine were the best. I miss then dearly!
“Sometimes you feel like a nut,
Sometimes you don’t!”
Little Debbie is the source of a lot of my favorite snack cakes, though if they relied on me to stay in business they'd be broke 100x over. My other favorite source of mass produced treats are Moon Pies, though I haven't had one for quite some time. Maybe three or four years? I'll look into ordering a tin sometime later this year.
Let me guess: you're from the South as well? Hahaha.
Well I grew up in the 50's and my favorite snack foods were Banana Flips ans Devil's Delight cakes, Snicker's And Mars bars were my favoite candy bars. Kas Potato Chips were the BEST chips ever. Boxed candy favorites were Cinnamon Red Hots, and Life Savers, and Kraft Caramels.My favorite savory snack was homemade Chex Mix made with Rice Chex, Wheat Chex, Corn Chex, prezel sticks, and mixed nuts in garlicy salty butter sauce.
The vid I knew I needed 👀♥️
I'm 67 yrs old now...almond joy, Mary Jane, cracker jacks, Reese's, payday, Look candybar, KitKat, hydrox, animal crackers, botan Japanese candy with edible clear paper wrapper, Ed and Don's Macadamia Chocolate bar(not sure if still around), milky way, some pastries although now I limit my intake, I really hate sugar now, but every 6or7 months...almond joy and goat milk or coffee!
Yeah, so POP Rocks were a gateway candy (drug) for me. I'm still in recovery...
Suggestion: Mountain Dew soda pop. It went from coming in just one flavor to coming in many flavors and many colors.
In remember when the mascot for Mountain Dew was s shot gun toting hillbilly. The brand slogan was, "It'll tickle your innards!"
If I remember one ad correctly, it was claimed that Mountain Dew had that "real country flavor".
I had a glass bottle of Mountain Dew Throwback maybe 6 or 7 years ago that had the old mascot and even said "it'll tickle your innards" Thought it was them trying to look old fashioned, didn't know it was an old slogan. Now looking back though, duh.
I liked the limited edition that came out around Halloween. It tasted like grape. It was purple and the foam was blue. I can’t remember the name.
Can’t get Dunkaroos in Britain, they sound good. Never knew Skittles were Briti, Starburst were too but were called Opal Fruits. Some limited edition packs have been produced with the original name recently. Snickers used to be Marathon too.
If you really want the Dunkaroos experience just buy a box of graham crackers and a tub of confetti frosting to dip them in. You won't be too far off the actual product.
@@ccggenius you can’t really get those super easily here either tho
@@thesuitshow9944 really? I guess the trans-fats ban put a damper on selling canned frosting? Because I'm skeptical that you can't get graham crackers. In any case, I'm sure you can get the powdered sugar, milk, butter, and sprinkles to make your own.
@@ccggenius I’ve never seen just plain graham crackers, I guess you could just use plain biscuits but it’s not really the same
@@thesuitshow9944 Huh... well, I'm pretty sure they were invented in the US to curb masturbation or something. Does the UK NOT have an epidemic of serial wankers?
OK, throwing a parental advisory on take me out to the ball game is just about the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. This week at least :-) what are funny detail to throw in there
Dunkaroos are still around!! I just looked on Amazon, Walmart, and Target apps and it’s on all 3 apps
I will fight tooth and nail anyone who tells me Cheetos Puffs are better than Cheetos Crunch. Crunch is the best of the two.
Put the fists up then
The planters cheese balls for the win!!
It blows my mind that pizza was an exotic novelty until 1959! How did people survive!?
Haha, I agree, Tyler! Growing up in the South in the 60s we had "pizza"..... but it was only the Chef Boy R Dee version in a box, where Mom would mix the crust packet with water and make this biscuit-like dough into a circle. She would then spread the packet of watery tomato-ish sauce on it and sprinkle it with sort of Parmesan cheese. We kids thought it was great, but we didn't know any better. Restaurant pizzas existed back then, but middle class people like us didn't go out to eat very often, maybe twice a year.
@@hollerinwoman wow that sounds pretty bad im glad i grew up in the 2000s i feel like this list only covered the stuff thats still semi popular today is there any popuar snacks from the 60s that just dont exist anymore
They did great. Everyone wasn’t morbidly obese.
Pizza that doesn’t taste like trash
👉🏽is still a novelty
I’m addicted to Tootsie Roll lollipops so badly I need to limit myself to only a few a year 😂
9:43. Cheese wizard. Hilarious. Now I have to start over to see what else I missed
My kids used to complain that others at school lunch time would have Twinkies or Hostess Cupcakes and they'd get "healthy stuff" like "Ants on a Log" (Celery filled with peanut butter with several raisins on top.) They are now adults and still remeber and complain about it - ha!
I’ve noticed that I enjoyed hard candy when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s, like red hots, jolly rancher stix, lemon heads…. and my kids prefer gummy everything like gummy lifesavers, sour patch straws, etc.
My favorite junk food is a fat ribeye steak
Does anyone remember Oreo cookie stacking contest for kids that were held at grocery stores in the late 80's or early 90's? I think you were supposed to see who could build the highest tower out of the cookies until it fell. I know they had one at a store near Dallas TX back then, but I was a little kid, so I barely remember it. They had a table set up and the woman said they were having a cookie stacking contest. I think it may have been to beat a Guiness world record or something. At the time I thought it was a national promotion from Nabisco, but I don't know. Does anyone else remember something like that?
I wish I could remember that. Though it is vaguely familiar. 🤔 PS- I grew up in Minnesota.
Great episode!!!!!!!
Being an overweight American male these videos speak to me, props to you bro on this channel you clearly understand your viewers!❤
2:43 Recopies aren't actually copyrightable, so Oreo basically had to avoid using the same trade dress or claiming they were Hydrox, and they could have even used the same filling if they wanted to. Nabisco actually owns the rights to Hydrox now, and they periodically bring them back for a bit as a "diet" cookie.
I loved those pudding cans. The pudding must have absorbed something from the cans because it never was the same after package change.
I feel like Honey Nut Cheerios tastes totally different than it did in the 1980s too. I think it was much more sugary, with a sort of gloss to it.
I loved the cans too. And the horse advertising lol
What a neat history lesson.
Take it with a grain of salt because some of this isn't true, which is a common thing in Weird History's videos
Thank you for this Excellent video. i love food history because it is about everything that was going on at the time… this channel makes it fascinating & entertaining.
I never knew Almond Joy or Mounds have been around since the 20's, very informative video.
Although I have never actually tried them, Dunkaroos are definitely still around and available. I see them at the store all the time.
