15 Snacks We Loved As Much As The TV Shows They Were Based On

By Matt |

Any company that made kids' cartoons in the 90s wanted nothing more than to get our hard-earned money (or more likely our parents's hard-earned money), and what better way to do that than by advertising the hell out of your show?

Of course there were toys, games, books, and all the usual stuff. BUT, if you're anything like me, chances are the things you remember best are the delicious treats that they encouraged us to get at the supermarket. In particular, these 15 snacks are some really fond memories.

I'd definitely much rather pour myself a box of Fruity Pebbles than actually watch The Flintstones

They even had their own ice cream! Remember Push-Ups?

Or their own juice boxes, which tasted way better than those chewable vitamins

Remember heating up one of these bad boys in the toaster oven?

McCain

Back when our favorite canned pasta crossed over with our not-quite-favorite giant mutants

They even did it for an entire team of mutants!

Seriously, these next few snacks might actually be better than their shows...

These delicious green monstrosities

Hostess

When our favorite "fruit" snack got even better thanks to our favorite cartoons!

Betty Crocker

Anyone remember when we could literally eat Bart's shorts?

Character Snackfoods

I barely even remember Life With Louie, let alone that he had a pasta from a Chef Boyardee knockoff

Fox Kids

What's better than macaroni and cheese? Mac and cheese shaped like MARIO CHARACTERS of course!

Kraft

Of course there were real Scooby Snacks

Now you could even eat your favorite living toys! ...Wait

These absolutely insane-looking Simpsons Pop-Tarts

Kellogg's

And of course, these unintentionally creepy Ninja Turtles ice pops

Popsicle

Reptar Bars Are Back And They Are The "Superist" And The "Duperist" Versions Yet

By Tanya
Everyone remembers watching Rugrats as a kid, right? It was only the best kids' show ever. Those "dumb babies" as Angelica Pickles would say were a lot more clever than they let on, and in their many adventures they inspired us kids to believe that we could do anything. I mean, we don't have to question how or why a baby keeps a screwdriver in his diaper, because the logistics of where he got it or how he keeps it in there without hurting himself is beyond me, but that's not what matters here. What does matter is that these

Trix Cereal Is Finally Going Back To Their Classic Look And We Cannot Wait

By Tanya
Who else remembers eating a big ol' bowl full of Trix cereal in the morning before packing your lunch and heading off to school? Trix was the perfect cereal to eat, because a lot of us felt like we were tricking our parents into thinking it was healthy. Sure, we're eating sugary cereal, but it's fruit-flavored so obviously it's not as bad as Cocoa Puffs or something. Boy, were we wrong. Well, now we're all old enough not to care, we can eat sugary cereal if we want because guess what, cereal is delicious. But there's been one thing missing

15 Former Pizza Huts Now Trying (And Failing) To Be Something Else

By Tanya
We've said it before and we'll say it again, Pizza Hut is truly excellent. No, they aren't paying me to say that, but if they want to, I'm ready to make a deal. Back on track though, Pizza Hut has been around since 1958, and in their 60 year history they have managed to create quite the empire. Sure, a lot of other pizza places have come and gone in that time, and maybe they aren't as popular as they used to be, but Pizza Hut will always hold a special, pizza-shaped place in all of our hearts. If there

Top 5 Movies Set in Las Vegas

By Jordan N
There’s something about Las Vegas that has always made it a place of great fascination for filmmakers. One of the main reasons has to be the way it looks – quite unlike anywhere else on earth. With the flashing signs that can be picked out by orbiting spacecraft and the sheer investment that has gone into creating this amazing oasis in the heart of the Nevada Desert it’s a film set that’s already been built. The fact that it’s only a relatively short distance from Hollywood itself – an hour by plane – is also strongly in its favour
