Are there any childhood snacks you always have to buy at the store?
 

Being a grown-ish adult (24 and counting), I find myself rubberbanding back to when I was in elementary school when I see things like Handi-snacks and Dunkaroos. Like, I have to get them, because when I was 8 they were the bomb!

Trisphee, are there any snacks or foods from your childhood that make you this cray-cray?

OMG DUNKAROOS!!! THOSE ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RIGHT!??!?!!?!? I found them in canada v.v but alas I live in the states so.... despite being near the border it's just a little too out of the way for me just for a snack haha!

>:O i would forever be in your debt Pathosis!! We have a ton of rice cakes and wafersticks over here (the strawberry ones were da bomb). *hordes them*

Ah I'm about 2 hours away in Buffalo haha xD

You actually can find them still in America...My walmart still had them! And food lion as well.

You can also order them in bulk online from the company (or at least you could last year)

I'm Asian. So growing up I totally followed my stereotype and ate typical Asian snacks like seaweed snack packs, wasabi peas, dried crunchy fish (and other sea creatures) things, and the like. >w< I still love them all to this day, but my favourite remains to be those delightful seaweed snack packs. <3

I ALWAYS have to restrain myself from buying them when I know that I shouldn't do so at the moment. :(

I'm so happy my parents get them often! <3
They know what stuff is good and what isn't! >w<

seaweed o_o;;;;;;;

oh, and yeah I tend to only measure as far away as London ON >.>;

I missed some of my favorite snack foods when I was a kid but when I see them at my store I have to stay far away to many calories and to much sugar. =P

asdfghjkl seaweed snack packs. I haven't had nori is forever. String cheeeeeese. They sell string cheese in Entropy though, so I'm good on that end. There're some other ones, but I'm too tired/stressed to remember...

...I was never a big fan of Skittles, TBH. Just pointing that out. -grabs nearest riot shield-

I don't buy snacks, ever. I love them, but out of sheer willpower I avoid them at all costs. My "snacks" usually consist of apples, yogurt, or toast. Snacks are way too expensive to buy regularly. But when I was a freshman and could buy everything I ever wanted with my meal plan, my snacks consisted of string cheese, salt&vinegar pringles, and nutella.

Honestly......Cheez-Its are my major weekness. That, and rice krispies treats.....those things are addictive.

Nutella! The snack made by the gods.
Alpha and I eat alot of cheese it and chocolate oranges recently

I could eat cheese-flavored snack cracker things (cheese-its, goldfish, cheddar bunnies, et cetera) all day. Those things are so delicious. That's why I don't buy them. I'd eat the whole box in one sitting! O.O

I've done that one more than one occasion......

...As have I...

*gasps*
Oh no!! D:
*tosses you a Korean-style seaweed snack pack*
Enjoy! >w<

I've never been a fan of Skittles either, or M&Ms for that matter. >w>

*hides behind you and your riot shield* >w>

Woah, Lucid is so healthy. 8D
I love yoghurt snacks too! >w< And lately I've taken to adding quinoa too them for additional iron and fibre. >w<

AND OMG STRING CHEESE IS SOOOO YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!! <3

Rice Krispie Squares (or RKS as I call 'em >w>) are amazing!!! But I haven't had them in a little bit. But despite how much I love them, that's a good thing cause I can eat a jumbo box (with 40 individual wrapped squares) of those WAY too quickly. >w>

Less healthy, more cheap. XD Snacks are probably the most expensive foods in the entire grocery store!

I do try to be healthy, but it's mostly in my head. Last time I went to the store, I picked up a bottle of avacado ranch dressing (so unhealthy!) just because I knew it would make me eat more veggies (and it worked! We went through the whole bag of spinach before any went bad!)

Most of the time I just try not to eat except at mealtimes, and that's what keeps me from snacking. If I really have to eat before dinnertime, a slice of toast or two will tide me over. But on occasion I will splurge and reward myself with hummus and triscuits. Same problem as all the other snacks, though, I eat all of it right away instead of small quantities.

Slim Jims.. ._. loved them when i was little.. i love them now..

im probably gonna sound weird for saying this but... Cool whip in a can <3

I KNOW!!!! But the healthy stuff is SO worth it!! <3

Why not just eat avocados? They're so delicious on their own. >w< Mm, raw spinach is SO good! Especially raw /baby/ spinach!! <3

Have you ever thought of eating your triscuits with pesto? Specifically kale and oregano pesto? It's really good, kale may be an acquired taste but it's SUPER delicious and nutritious! <3

My old roommate used to make kale chips. <3 They were delicious.
I do buy avacados and I either make guacamole or slice them and put them in couscous. But I wanted a salad dressing to put on salads and dip baby carrots in. :3

OMG Dunkaroos they are awesome but they don't have them here :(

I buy the basic snacks like chips, granola bars, gummy fruit snacks.

I don't know if I'm the only one who does this buy I love Bread and milk, like ripping a fresh italian bread and dunking it in milk. it is so good

o_o i don't care about calories or sugar... v.v;;

Oh but natsu >.> i love cool whip in a can. Like.. a lot o_o

..and white cheddar popcorn. My good friend likes them a lot too xD but those aren't really from my childhood as I eat them now like crazy..

I remember in the lunchroom, sun chips were the shit!

white cheddar popcorn is the shit

i sometimes buy fruit snacks, real fruit roll ups, rice krispie treats, cheerios, little debbie snack cakes, and those cracker and cheese snack packs with the red stick to spread the cheese on the cracker.

one weird one is that i have to have a jar of baby food bananas, i got hooked on them when my nephew was a baby.

Oooh, I should try kale chips. Falafel chips are good too. <3 Sampled them at the grocery store. I wish I bought them then cause they were on sale and now they aren't so I have to wait till they are again. Which could take forever. >w>

I actually can't really choose a favorite.. there are so many.. x3

and those bagel chips spreaded with cream cheese

OOOOH. ADD POCKY TO MY LIST!!!! *w* <3

Arikana, I only enjoy eating pocky when I'm having some ramune xD

Abba-zaba if anyone recalls that. Peanut butter inside and taffy outside.

yeah oreo's i have to buy a package our i have a craving for them and have to make a special trip to the store just for them.
