[English]

- 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.
