Ideas and things from the past

First article idea from Yahoo is weirdest food from the 90's you forgot existed. Even though I was not a kid of the 90's but a young adult of the 20's they listed the following foods. The first was Hubba Bubba bubble gum that came in a container like a detergent bottle I wonder if this could have been the start of some people trying to eat detergent pods? Other weird foods that I did not think as weird were the Nestle's Magic Ball that I can of remember and I do believe it disappeared for it posed a choking hazard for the little toy inside the candy, there was Crystal Pepsi that did taste the same as the original, Butterfinger BB's, Jello Pudding Pops, and Dunkeroo's that were like those snacks of cheese/peanut butter with crackers. I really liked Jello Pudding Pops, but I wonder if they would sell now for Bill Cosby was the spokesman for Jello products of the 80's. Bart Simpson was the cartoon figure for Butterfinger BB's and is line was you better stay away from my Butterfingers/BB's. Bart wasn't the best role model back when.

There were a few other articles from Yahoo that I remember that seem to have disappeared as well that I wish was still around. These products even though not very healthy were really good to be honest. In the candy aisle there was a candy bar called Marathon that was long and chewy that did take a long time to eat; the Reggie Bar that was round with chocolate, caramel, and nuts that was named after the baseball player. In the cereal aisle I remember a few frosted cereals liked Frosted Rice that was Tony Jr's. cereal like Frosted Flakes was for his father, another cereal that I liked was but can't remember the right name, but it had corn flakes with banana chips, and it was good too. Still another product from Jello was Jello 123 that kind of made three layers. This was also an after-school snack for me back when. There was also when I was growing up a bacon product known as Sizzle Lean that was also very good for my mom would make this for my breakfast before I went to school in junior high.

All these products and there were more listed in other articles from Yahoo disappeared for they say were loaded with sugar and fats even though they were supposed to be healthy too. For a youth of this time that has eaten this food from back when for I am now 60 and I hope not to jinx myself still doing quite well physically and mentally. I am really hoping for comments on this with old food products that you remember that are not around anymore for some reason.

    I remember when Bill Crosby was the spokes person for the Jello Pudding pops! I loved those growing up! Fun article!
