For me my most memorable thing about crackerjacks was anytime we encountered a bad driver my dad would say, "Where'd they get their license a box of cracker jacks?"

I remember being a little girl growing up in the 80’s. My mom would sit me in the front of the shopping cart and give me a box of Animal Crackers (the one with the string handle). I’d eat it while she did her shopping and then she’d pay for the empty box. Every single week, the same cookies! Good times!

I was a '90s baby and 2000s child, and though I didn't get to have these "treat" type foods super often, the ones I remember having the most were Gogurts, Lunchables, Fruit by the Foot, Chips Ahoy (though I slightly preferred Chips Deluxe, as they were a little more rich and chewy and the chocolate chips were bigger/more abundant), and to a somewhat lesser degree, Oreos. I tried the Fruit Gushers and Fruit Roll-Ups, but Fruit by the Foot won out by far. I remember in the elementary school cafeteria we would sometimes roll our Fruit by the Foots all the way out, and hold them up next to each other to see how tall we were compared to them. Now that I've typed this all out, it's kind of weird to think how prominently some of this junk food features in some of my childhood memories...I mean, it does't play a big part, but clearly enough of one that I felt compelled to write a comment about it...

I remember as a child I would get a box of 12 Life Saver roles in 12 flavors for Christmas.

Ahem, most people who grew up on Lunchables are NOT middle aged just yet! I could be wrong, but though Lunchables were invented in the late 80s they didn't become massively popular until a few years later. So the oldest kids who grew up on Lunchables are maybe late 30s-early 40s. Sorry, but as a 34 year old who had Lunchables almost every day at school I take offense to that! Also I should add that the first time I heard the term "charcuterie board" was from a hipster co-worker that's 10 years younger than me.

Oreos changed their recipe ages ago and most US vegans consider them vegan-friendly now (depends on how they feel about uncertainty in how the sugar is filtered, through bone char or charcoal made from plant matter). The only exceptions are some of the limited editions, which may have dairy. But no more lard for many decades. PopTarts also have some vegan-friendly ones, at least the unfrosted brown sugar cinnamon ones are ok for me. Their frosting usually has gelatin in it. I don’t eat gelatin if I can avoid it, since I know where it’s been...

Fascinating, though missing some information. One story for the invention of Cheetos was it was food for cows, Pop Tarts was initially called Fruit Scones and was changed to its name as a pun on the Pop Art movement, whilst Baby Ruth might have been named so in honour of Grover Cleveland's daughter. On a separate note, my current favourite snack would have to be Planter's peanuts, Fisher's peanuts, or Blue Diamond smokehouse almounds, depending on what I am peckish for.

I Love Lucy episode title: "Switching Jobs"

@weirdhistoryfood Dunkaroos are back, I began seeing them again about a year ago, they are just as sugary as always. In fact, I’m accustomed to sweet treats and my walk down memory lane left me feeling sick lol

This was very interesting I'm going to show a couple people that would enjoy this

Being an overweight American male these videos speak to me, props to you bro on this channel you clearly understand your viewers!❤

09:16 Nice Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad callback

This was a great video that took me down memory lane. My favorite fruit snack as a kid was called string thing

Although I have never actually tried them, Dunkaroos are definitely still around and available. I see them at the store all the time.

It's so wierd getting closer to the end and actually seeing commercials I recognize from when I was really young, then to see the older commercials and think about my dad and how he probably saw some of those TV Ads. Just wierd to think about now the 1960s doesn't seem too long ago I wish my dad was younger ;-;

Man way to stir my nostalgia. I remember the 90's commercial for all those snacks. Couldn't get into any of them and the Gushers commercials just frightened me. Seriously I thought gushers was going to make my head change as it does in the commercial. I didn't know any better.

Thank you for this Excellent video. i love food history because it is about everything that was going on at the time… this channel makes it fascinating & entertaining.

Jeez... not only did I gain 5 pounds just watching this, but now my teeth hurt!

Peanuts I'm sure were snacked on for well over 100 years, and are used as an ingredient in alot of those snacks. I'm wondering when my two favorites came on the seen, peanut brittle and honey roasted peanuts. Nothing better than coating a legume in sugar!

Peanuts were a profitable agricultural product long before the American Civil war. I found a song from the civil war era titled, I believe, "Sitting in the Shade, Eating Goober Peas". Goober Peas was a common name for peanuts in the south at that time.

@@ElizabethBattle I love butter toffee peanuts. You should try my trick and stir the leavings from the bottom of a can into a jar of natural peanut butter. Creating what I call Butter Toffee Peanut Butter. It's hella good snacking

So this is what it's like to see your life flash before your eyes. Beautiful.

Nice LA Noire plug. If ever there was a game that deserved a sequel.

I will fight tooth and nail anyone who tells me Cheetos Puffs are better than Cheetos Crunch. Crunch is the best of the two.

It blows my mind that pizza was an exotic novelty until 1959! How did people survive!?

Haha, I agree, Tyler! Growing up in the South in the 60s we had "pizza"..... but it was only the Chef Boy R Dee version in a box, where Mom would mix the crust packet with water and make this biscuit-like dough into a circle. She would then spread the packet of watery tomato-ish sauce on it and sprinkle it with sort of Parmesan cheese. We kids thought it was great, but we didn't know any better. Restaurant pizzas existed back then, but middle class people like us didn't go out to eat very often, maybe twice a year.

Take it with a grain of salt because some of this isn't true, which is a common thing in Weird History's videos

That was such a fun episode! I remember all but Dunkaroos and Gushers.

Snickers is my fave candy bar. It used to be Reeses' cups but the recipe seems to have changed and it doesn't taste the same. I've loved Doritos since I was a kid and they're my fave salty snack.

I'll say especially since Microwave popcorn has come a long way. There are numerous flavors besides its original of just salted or extra butter and popcorn is a must-have staple during movie nights 📽 🍿
