Growing up Xennial. Best late night snack goes to those things that either burned our mouths, or we bit into something semi-frozen. There was no middle ground. Pizza rolls! That concludes our Xennial foodie item list. Thank you to all who participated!

Hot pockets before they became 1/3 the size they used to be.

I have a very vivid memory of eating a meatball Hot Pocket at a friend’s house on a Friday in maybe 7th grade but I wasn’t supposed to eat meat on Fridays during lent and my friend could NOT understand what I was talking about and why that made sense so it got me thinking. That was the beginning of the end of any kind of religion in my life, all because of a Hot Pocket and your comment made me think of that lol

That’s hilarious.

Hot pockets. The downfall of religion!

I wonder if we are the most pizza-nostalgic generation or if pizza is just appealing to everyone 🤔

The only thing I firmly disagree with is the Viennetta selection!

venk@reddit

This list ended up being more so a list of what people associate with the 80s/90s than a list of the best. An actual best list probably would have had Coke as the best beverage.

Book-It and TMNT fostered my love for pizza from an early age for sure.

I remember when I finally talked my mom into buying a Viennetta. I was so disappointed when I finally tasted it!

[-]

caramelpupcorn@reddit

Do you remember what made it disappointing? As an adult, I always imagined it would be less ice creamy and more whipped creamy, this less sweet but also less satisfying.

[-]

ChutneyRiggins@reddit

It didn’t taste like anything!

[-]

caramelpupcorn@reddit

Why am I not surprised? 😂 That sucks!

_meestir_@reddit

What a terrible list lol

I had it a couple times but was usually told no same with pop. But.... Always had kool aid. Lol

[-]

Scarbarella@reddit

I was only allowed 100% real fruit juice not this stuff

[-]

NoneOfThisMatters_XO@reddit

Yep same here

[-]

caramelpupcorn@reddit

She was right but that's what made it great!

This is why I love this sub

_Face@reddit

list is irrelevant, since doritos did not make the list.

[-]

Amibeaux@reddit

No Jello pudding pops? Come on!

Pogokat@reddit

I don’t think I ate a vegetable or real fruit until college in 2000

[-]

DaddyHEARTDiaper@reddit

Same. I got to college and all of the sudden started craving Broccoli and Cauliflower. I guess my body was like "enough dude, give me some healthy food."

I ate peas as a kid and promptly threw them up into my hand. I didn’t eat peas again until my 30s.

[-]

lavasca@reddit

You’re going to make me take some of my husband’s Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

[-]

Taskerst@reddit

My Gen X is leaking, because there are 4 things here that I’ve never even eaten.

[-]

BulimicMosquitos@reddit

Still not over Handi-Snacks and Vinnetta winning their respective categories.

[-]

OmegaRainicorn@reddit

I can’t get behind Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Everything else is accurate imo.

Aw man, I want more hehe...but this was fun!

LilyBitLumpy@reddit

This was super fun, u/smcg_az!! Thanks for asking the important questions and keeping score

[-]

Vegaprime@reddit

We adapted. Cheese blow out of the sides. That's gonna need to cool but oh great now there's nothing but room temperature shells left.

[-]

fromthedarqwaves@reddit

I missed the best snack one. There’s no way shark bites should have lost.

[-]

Pogokat@reddit

Chef boyardee is missing from this list, I never had that cake, and I couldn’t really taste any of this thanks to my mom chain smoking Carltons in the kitchen, but otherwise looks like my 80’s childhood

[-]

grandpa5000@reddit

This is pretty accurate,

Best snack, those cheezy crackers where pretty standard, but gimme those fruit roll ups any day.

Best Lunch item, Gotta be String cheese

I only had the vienna ice cream cake once or twice. So i’d have to swap out TCBY frozen yogurt or sherbert or push up pops.
