Today's food trends are so social media driven that you may not realize there were plenty of fads that came and went way before we were influenced online.
So I got to thinking about some of the things we ate when we were younger that are no longer around and would legit horrify today's kids.
1.Hi-C Ecto Cooler, a promo item for the short-lived Ghostbusters animated series, was a slime-green juice far from what today's kids think of when they hear "green juice."
2.Tidal Wave Gum came in different flavors (including apple, which was rumored to have a 420-ish taste, if you catch my drift). On top of some good, long-lasting gum, it would surprise you with a gush of goopy liquid when you least expected it.
3.We reinvented the wheel in the '90s with Heinz EZ-squirt green and purple ketchup.
11.Frozen desserts may have peaked with Philadelphia Snack Bars, tiny little blocks of cheesecake felt like snack goodness.
12.There were so many rich baked goods in the late '80s and '90s, like Entenmann's Brooklyn Blackout Cake, that were so readily available in the grocery store.
13.There was the 7Up spin-off, DnL (in case you didn't have enough soft drink options).
