- They change colors and flavors.
Ooh, sciency.
- Oh my gosh, it's the
gushiness!
♪ (French accordion music) ♪
- (FBE) Welcome to our
second edition of '90s kids' snacks.
- Again?
Yes.
Okay, the last time,
they tasted really good.
- (gasps) Yay.
I'm excited.
- I was in the first one.
I loved it.
There was Hubba Bubba
tape, PEZ.
- There's a lot of '90s snacks
that still exist.
I hope I've seen some
of them before.
- (FBE) Now, some of these
snacks weren't necessarily
first invented in the '90s,
but definitely became
a popular item in the '90s
and some are still seen today.
- Oh, okay.
When you eat something
as a kid, and then you eat
it now, you remember of back--
of that time back then.
- I'm just trying to think what
would be '90s kids snacks?
Peanut butter and jelly?
I have no clue.
- They might be really good
and they might be really bad.
- I feel like it has to have
a lot of color and sugar
and I feel like that's still
true today.
- (FBE) Here is your first
'90s snack.
- (gasps) Yes.
I've seen those.
I like this shape because
it looks like a unicorn horn.
- Bugles?
They look like ice cream cones
without the ice cream.
- If you turn them like this,
they look like a scary
witch finger, but if you turn them
like this, they kinda looks
like a tornado.
- (blowing)
I've never actually had these,
but I think I've seen
a commercial for this.
Good.
Kinda tastes like Fritos.
- I'm getting kinda corn taste.
It's very, very crunchy.
These remind me of those
things you usually see
like decorations at a table
at Thanksgiving.
- Mm, these taste really good.
They're salty, but they
don't have too much of
a flavor where it's like crazy,
exploding with different stuff.
- Are these something big
and I've just been living
under a rock?
- (FBE) So, these are called
Bugles.
They are made in the same
factory in west Chicago, Illinois
until the factory was closed
in 2017.
These triangle shaped chips
were a fun way to pretend
you had long fingernails.
- Well, the first thing
that came to mind was
a unicorn horn.
Very, very odd, but kinda fun
actually.
- Hello.
I ate my fingernails.
- This is fun.
- Go like this, right?
Then yeah.
See, I'm smart.
I'm a '90s kid, boom.
- (FBE) Okay, here's
your next one.
- (gasps) Go-Gurt!
- You can take them on
the go and they're yogurt.
That's why they're called
Go-Gurt.
- I ate so many of these
when I was younger.
Wow, so these were very
popular in the '90s?
- Yummy.
- That was a fun experience.
It's not really the factor
of savor the flavor.
It's the fast way of eating it.
- I like it better like this
because it's more fun.
- I really like yogurt
and you don't need a spoon,
so it's easy to carry around
with you.
I remember having jokes
on these.
- I always just loved to read
the questions and then
just try to figure it out
without looking at the bottom.
- (FBE) Yogurt on the go.
They were also known as
Yoplait tubes in Canada
and as Frubes in
the United Kingdom.
- Frubes?
Who came up with that?
- Sounds kinda weird
like fruit tube.
Oh, fruit tubes.
That actually doesn't sound
that weird now that I
actually put it together.
- They should just call them
Frubes everywhere.
"Hey, you got a Frube here?"
- (FBE) Here is your next one.
- Oh, I love these.
These are my favorites.
- I always see these types
of snacks at school,
so I mean, if snacks
like these were more
popular in the '90s than
they are now, that's kinda crazy.
- I don't really like these
things that much.
Is that even real cheese?
Probably not.
- They're okay.
- I like the cheese more than
I like the combination.
- They're like mini breadsticks.
Mini cheesy breadsticks.
- They don't taste bad,
but they're not good.
These things are just
really underwhelming.
They don't have a flavor.
They're just crunchy sticks.
You could at least try
a little bit harder.
I mean, come on.
- (FBE) So, these are
called Handi-Snacks.
This was an inspiration
to boost Lunchables sales.
Handi-Snacks is a mass
produced cheese and crackers
snack that is prepared using
processed cheese.
- I honestly get it.
It's pretty good.
It seems like it wouldn't
cost a lot.
It's fast.
- The way it's packaged
is it's easy to carry with you
in a bag, a lunch bag.
- I think that it's really cool
that they didn't just
keep it in the '90s.
I appreciate that they
wanted some of the '90s
snacks to come back to life.
- (FBE) All right, let's do
the next one.
- (gasps) Gushers!
Oh my gosh.
These are Gushers.
Yes.
- I had these before
and they're really juicy.
Squeeze.
- They're not my favorite of
the fruit snacks
because when you bite
into them, you're like,
"Normal, normal.
Oh my gosh,
it's the gushiness!"
- They're fruity,
they're yummy,
and they're sweet.
- It was good, but I mean,
I didn't really taste
any juice come out.
It just felt like a gummy.
- This tastes better than
I remember.
Kinda like it.
- They have gel on
the inside and most
fruit snacks do not.
- (FBE) So, these are
called Gushers.
- I haven't really heard
of them in such a long time.
- (FBE) Introduced in 1991,
these fruit snacks
in the shape of elongated
hexagonal bipyramids
made primarily from sugar
and fruit juice are still
popular today.
- All right.
The idea of eating a gummy
and then just having
juice come out probably
was unique back then.
- There's nothing really
like them out there.
Other stuff, you just eat it
and it's like,
it's fruit flavored.
Gushers, they gush,
that's their thing
and it's delicious.
- (FBE) All right,
let's do the last one.
- Never heard of these before.
- Jawbreakers?
That change colors
and flavors?
Ooh, sciencey.
- I used to see a bunch
of movies,
for example, Willie Wonka.
They were talking about
Gobstoppers and all that
and I was like,
"What's a Gobstopper?"
- I wish they looked like
the ones from the movie.
They don't look like--
they're just little round
jawbreakers.
- They're so tiny.
I'm gonna go for a red.
Tastes like the pink flavored
gum.
- I'm gonna do a yellow,
'cause I love yellow.
- These are good.
I don't see if there's
anything really special
about them,
except for the name
and they're from Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory.
- (FBE) So, after a while,
it'll change color and flavor.
- Mm.
Orangey, still orangey.
It's good.
It's kind of yellowish orange.
Takes a while to do that.
- (FBE) What color is it now?
- Red.
That's really freaky.
- (FBE) So, these are called
Gobstoppers.
A Willy Wonka inspired candy,
these jawbreakers take
several weeks to manufacture
as the process of adding
liquid sugar is repeated
multiple times
until it dries.
- They were actually
inspired by Willy Wonka.
That's pretty cool.
- Oh, I love those movies.
I love the original better
with Gene Wilder.
- (FBE) The term Gobstopper
derives from gob,
which is slang in the
United Kingdom and Ireland
for mouth.
- I mean, it's cool
that it has a meaning
and is not just a weird word
they made up.
- You wanna have a
mouth stopper?
Gobstopper sounds better.
- They're really cool,
'cause when you put them
in your mouth and you
suck a while,
it changes colors and flavors
and I think that's a great idea.
- (FBE) What did you think
of all these '90s snacks today?
- They were all really good.
I mean, they're all sugary,
they all tasted delicious
and some of them,
I had already eaten before.
- Those people are lucky, I guess.
People who got to have
these a lot of the time.
- They all had their own
unique thing to them.
They may have been popular
in the '90s and had
their peak of popularity
back then, but I mean,
I still see a lot of these
today.
