Fast food taste tests, waitresses getting massive tips, the best restaurants across America — these are just a few of the topics Yahoo Food readers loved the most. In a tribute to you, our reader, we are revisiting some of our most popular stories of 2015.



By Zoe Bain

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again — there was just something special about ‘90s snacks. As a kid, I lived on Oreo O’s, Dippin’ Dots, Lunchables, Dunkaroos, Goldfish, Squeezeits…basically all the foods that were totally worth trading for at lunch. (My mom would probably like me to note here that I ate fruits and veggies, too — well, sometimes.)

Unfortunately, only some of our favorite childhood eats have stood the test of time. Others have been discontinued. Tragically, we’ll never be able to share the joys of Wonder Balls with our own kids.

To help us remember all of our favorite no-longer-available eats from yesteryear, we asked R29 staffers to share the foods and drinks they miss the most. Check them out, ahead — and who knows, maybe we can convince some of these brands to bring these crave-worthy products back!

Oreo O’s

Okay, eating this cereal was completely unhealthy and basically the equivalent of eating cookies for breakfast, but what we’d do for just one more bowl…

Wonder Ball

Oh, I wonder, wonder…what’s in a Wonder Ball?! Candy surprises inside of a chocolate ball, plus a sticker? We are still confused as to why these were discontinued, especially with this gem of a commercial.

Dunkaroos

Okay, so you can still technically get these in Canada, but they were the discontinued item that R29 staffers said they missed the most. Take note, Betty Crocker; we want our dippable cookies back!

Killer Shakes

You can’t really beat a berry-flavored shake served in a milk carton. Plus, Wacky Willie, the wave warrior, was the world’s best mascot.

Exploding Pops

“They had this red filling that had ‘Pop Rocks’-like bits in it and the filling was so insanely good; I can’t even compare it to anything. I guess they were made by Nestle for the Gargoyles show, so they went defunct. I still think about these almost 20 years later. I still haven’t met anyone besides my family who ever had these!” one staffer explained.

Batman Cereal

“My brother is still pissed at my sister for eating her Batman cereal 22 years ago. It’s the running joke in our house and she’s been been looking for it on eBay ever since.”

Squeezeit

“RIP, Squeezeit. These made day camp bearable.”

Bubble Play

“I hold out hope every time I see an ice cream truck. Some would argue that all the character ice creams taste the same. They don’t. RIP, Bubble Play!”

Sour Altoids

These were SO good. They came in citrus, tangerine, apple, raspberry, and mango. And while they didn’t exactly cure bad breath, they were definitely the best “mints” on the market.

Tab

While it’s probably for the best that we’re not hooked on these energy drinks anymore, we still miss them all the same.

Doritos 3D’s

Not only does 3-D mean more surface area, but these chips were way more fun to eat than regular Doritos.

Clear Snapple Tru Root Beer

We didn’t even realize soda-flavored Snapple existed, but one of our staffers says it was, “Literally my favorite thing from childhood.”

Frosted Mini Chex

Another staffers says, “BEST. Cereal. EVER. I’ve searched the Internet far and wide to try and find these with no luck :( :( :(” Also, this commercial pretty much guarantees Frosted Mini Chex cereal is worth a comeback.

Butterfinger BB’s

These were the perfect movie snack — and Halloween handout. Butterfinger ultimately replaced them with Butterfinger mini bites, but the bigger square candies just aren’t the same.
