13 Common Snacks That Disappeared Before We Even Noticed
If there’s one thing that truly bonds us as humans, it’s our love for snacks. Whether it’s a sweet treat, a salty bite, or something ridiculously processed, snacks are more than food—they’re nostalgia. Unfortunately, not all snacks are forever. Some vanish without so much as a goodbye, leaving us wondering if we imagined their existence. Grab your favorite still-available snack, and let’s mourn the loss of these 13 iconic munchies.
Dunkaroos: The OG Dunkable Treat
Who didn’t love slathering cookie pieces in that sugary, neon frosting? Dunkaroos were the elementary school flex of the 90s. These little guys disappeared in the early 2010s, crushing the hearts of snackers everywhere. Sure, they’ve made a semi-comeback, but let’s be real—it’s just not the same.
Butterfinger BBs: Bart Simpson’s Favorite Snack
These bite-sized, crunchy chocolate delights were everything. No wrapper mess, no breaking teeth—just pop and enjoy. Then, like Bart himself, they vanished in the early 2000s. And no, Butterfinger cups don’t count. We want the BBs back!
3D Doritos: The Cool Ranch Fever Dream
Oh, how we loved these puffed-up triangles of flavor. Eating them felt futuristic. Unfortunately, 3D Doritos disappeared faster than your favorite character in a TV series finale. They’ve sort of returned, but if you remember the originals, you know they’re not quite right.
Planters Cheez Balls: The Iconic Orange Canister
No party was complete without these neon orange puffs of cheesy goodness. They were messy, sure, but licking your fingers was half the fun. Planters cruelly discontinued them in the mid-2000s, leaving us to settle for inferior cheese puffs.
Jell-O Pudding Pops: Thanks for Nothing, Jell-O
A frozen treat that actually made pudding cool? Pudding Pops were a summer staple until Jell-O decided we didn’t deserve happiness anymore. Nowadays, we have to awkwardly shove pudding cups into the freezer to relive the glory days.
Hi-C Ecto Cooler: The Slime-Flavored Juice Box
Marketed as a tie-in to Ghostbusters, Ecto Cooler was the green drink that fueled every 90s kid’s lunch break. It disappeared when the ghost-hunting hype fizzled out, and even limited-edition re-releases can’t fill the ectoplasm-shaped hole in our hearts.
Oreo Cakesters: Cake Meets Cookie
Imagine the best parts of Oreos turned into a soft, fluffy cake sandwich. It was pure bliss, and then—POOF—they were gone. Every now and then, Oreo teases us with a limited release, but why not just make them permanent, Nabisco?
PB Crisps: Peanut Butter Heaven
Created by Planters, these crispy, peanut-shaped snacks filled with creamy peanut butter were everything a snack should be. Naturally, Planters discontinued them because apparently, we can’t have nice things.
Trix Yogurt: Rainbow Swirls of Happiness
Remember Trix Yogurt? The two-toned, sugary delight that looked like edible art? It was the crown jewel of lunchboxes until it disappeared. Now, kids are stuck with boring “adult” yogurt like Greek or plant-based options.
Kudos Granola Bars: Dessert Disguised as Healthy
Kudos made you feel like you were eating a nutritious granola bar while basically giving you a candy bar. Chocolate chips, drizzles, and M&M toppings—what’s not to love? Sadly, they’ve been missing since the 2010s, leaving us with boring snack bars.
Squeeze Its: The Drink That Made You Work for It
If you never wrestled with a plastic bottle of Squeeze It, did you even grow up in the 90s? These sugary drinks were fun, messy, and full of artificial joy. Alas, they’ve been replaced by more “sensible” options like juice boxes.
Hershey’s Swoops: Chocolate Pringles, Basically
Swoops were thin, curved pieces of chocolate shaped like potato chips. They were bizarre but delicious. Maybe they were ahead of their time, or maybe Hershey’s just didn’t market them well. Either way, they disappeared faster than they launched.
Pepsi Blue: The Soda That Broke All the Rules
Pepsi Blue was sweet, citrusy, and aggressively blue. You either loved it or thought it tasted like melted candy. But one thing’s for sure: it was unique. Pepsi gave it a brief comeback, but it’s still missing from shelves.
