- Weird History is taking you back to the 90s for your favorite foods. When it comes to the 1990s, everyone enjoyed many bodacious goodies we wouldn't have wanted to be without. Those staple foods we associate with the decade include snacks, meals, desserts, and even beverages. We ate them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner - or maybe all of the above. They were yummy, and they bring back memories with every bite.

I think my first real taste of disappointment was being handed a microwaved kid cuisine and I was raised with a single parent 😂. That penguin lied. I had no fun with that meal.
Lol different experience for me, I loved those things 😅
@@tentoe5431 So did my son. That was in the 2000's, but Kid Cuisine was still around. Anytime I went grocery shopping, I had to pick him up a few more of those meals.
@@Linda7647 lol I would beg for those in the grocery store and lunchables
@@tentoe5431 Yep, Lunchables too, lol. To this day my son still eats those. The nachos one is his favorite.
I loved them in the 90s.😂
Dunkaroos, Viennetta, Gushers, Orbitz, Fruitopia, and the extensive Snapple flavor line.
I have never had Viennetta before, it looks so good!
My grandfather used to buy vienetta in the 90s and we thought we were bougie AF eating that thing
@@RoseRose-hp4rq Was it really good?
I think they might still have Fruitopia somewhere. Canada, IIRC.
Dnt forget fruit roll ups and go gart
1:16 "room temperature ice cubes" I guess if the room is below freezing.
I’m a 2000’s baby never saw the 90’s but I still felt very nostalgic about all these foods
Sorry you didn't get to experience the most chill decade 😢
You would have loved the 80s a whole lot more!
For me the 2010s were a chill decade. But all of this bs is nostalgia. There was no "better" decade to live.
@@FDNY101202can’t be sorry if we didn’t experience it..besides I believe in past lives/reincarnation so who knows maybe we will or shifting which we could experience it that way
@@balls9420exactly I loves 2010s and even some of 2020 not Covid but the trends are kinda nostalgic even now
B.S. Most, if not all of these entries, regardless of when they were released, shot to fame in the 70s. I was produced in the 60s, so all of this stuff was well established by the 90s.
90's best decade ever in all of history. If you weren't around I feel sorry for ya.
We were the last carefree generation. I feel bad for this current gen Z lol
I think what you meant to write was “90s is the decade I grew up and I’m nostalgic for it”. Everybody thinks the decade they grew up in is the best. People say the same thing about the 70s, 80s, etc.
@@juansanchez209 uuuh no. It's literally the best decade ever. I've been in many decades lol.
@@chipskylark172carefree? Since when? No point in human history has life been carefree for any population.
As kids we didn't know all the problems going on around the world. Especially us middle class kids in rich nations like Canada and the USA. We are very privileged
@@cb613 Yes, and I’m sure your formative years were spent in the 90s. What if I said “I’ve lived through many decades and the 80s are literally the best decade ever”. See what I mean? Not a very compelling argument since it’s rooted in nostalgia and subjective perception
The 1990s were definitely memorable
Fish sticks, apple sauce, and mac & cheese was a real treat.
This has become one of my favorite channels, but thanks for making me feel old!
Growing up in the Seventies, my family ate a lot of Hamburger Helper. There was also Tuna Helper.
Love me some hamburger helper. Or how I refer to it...white trash in a box.
Tuna Helper sounds so good!
@@scarletcrusader5431 tuna helper!!!
They still have Tuna Helper.
Finally, a lost that doesn't crap all over 90s food. I love my crappy 90s stuff! Lol
Sunny D was a staple in my family!
Did you ever have Snapple Mango Madness before?
Sunny D was a staple in your family?
Uggh, tell us you lived on food stamps without telling us you lived off food stamps
@Ben Alan never had food stamps haha
Sometimes, having a silly junk food is just fun.
Try not to be a stick in the mud. You'll have more fun in life.
@btetschner not usually a mango fan, but I'm sure I tried it hahs
@@BarnabyJones07 Are you unironically being a classist dipshit right now? I mean it's youtube, so of course you are. What's it like huffing paint every morning?
Best time to be a kid, in literally every way. Music, movies, cartoons, toys, and the food. I may be bias...but I'm also right!
I grew up in the 80s and 90s. 80s was significantly better.
That's because you didn't grow up in the 80s which was a billion times better than the 90s. A lot more breezy and upbeat than the downbeat 90s
Unless you were LGBTQ
News flash: things you grew up with will always feel better than things kids grow up with now
@@DemoWarlock true. AIDS ravaged the gay community like the bubonic plague in the 80s and 90s.
Born December ’85 I was a 90’s child. The best decade ever!
...I literally never think of the Star Wars prequels, given the only one released in the 90's was the first one; the other two were in the early 2000's.
Young Anakin Skywalker doesn't exactly come to mind when I think about 1993-1998.
I remember that those Kid Cuisine commercials always talked about how you could find them in your "grocer's freezer". For some reason I always heard that as your "ferocious freezer", so I pictured them going around to find if any of the freezers were ferocious.
Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s with a working mom spaghetti o’s , hamburger helper, and bologna sandwiches were definitely my diet staples as was instant breakfast 🤭
I was kinda hoping for gushers, fruit roll up or fruit by the foot. Or the bubblegum in the bandaid tins
Hamburger Helper and Spaghetti-O’s go way, way back….long before the 90’s. I ate those in the 1970’s.
For a second there, I thought "You can eat Chia Pets?"
Same here!!! 😂
actually the sprouts are edible
@@vvboifish sticks are amazing when cooked right but I didn't know they came from Alaska
😂she has to be joking that nobody ate Salisbury steak between the 50s and 90s. It was a school cafeteria staple
Exactly! It was guaranteed that you’d get Salisbury Steak at least once a week in school when I was a kid in the 1970’s.
yeah, a lot of these were really not in any way specifically 90s things, just things that lasted at least 'till the 90s.
@@OriginalGrasshopper mystery meat.
I'm a senior citizen and I still love fish sticks. BTW, stuffed crust pizza was a direct result of the dairy industry pushing to include more dairy products in different kinds of food.
Big dairy at it again
favorite 90's foods ... thats been the favorite since the 1890's
The Sound of Music is my mother's favorite film.
A+ video!
Awesome foods!
The powerful 90s nostalgia
I remember my grandma used to have Sunny Delight in her refrigerator. I would drink it sometimes when I visited her after school. I haven't had Sunny D for over 20 years.
I have Sunny D right now but I never liked it in the 90's as it tasted off to me. The formula must have changed and now I love it.
This made me miss my childhood even more
"I want that purple stuff"
You got a cool Mom!
Awesome video, Weird History Food! I love the theme of this one, I ate quite a few of these in the 90s.
If you can, I would love to see more of this topic if not part 2 to this video!
90s stuff! Yay! I feel older now! 😂
I was never a huge fan of Spaghettios, but I probably ate my weight several times over in Chef Boyardee canned ravioli. That and Kraft Mac and cheese.
canned macaroni and cheese (yes, it exists) is one of the most disgusting foods EVER.
@@B.H.56 I can't say that's something I would be eager to try
When I think of the '90s, I think of grunge rock, Michael Jordan...and my mother's favorite story to tell about my childhood.
I was a skinny kid, and never ate lunch at school, preferring to wait until after school so I could go home and eat food that actually tasted good.
This did not stop a school administrator from calling my mother in for a meeting about "we think your son is developing an eating disorder."
My mom, furious at losing an afternoon out of her life to suffer fools, brought a grocery receipt...a LONG grocery receipt...and said "does this look like someone with an eating disorder to you?" She then threatened to call in a favor with her friends on the school board to get the administrator fired if they didn't stop meddling in her sons' eating habits.
As for what I ate in the '90s (I graduated high school in '95), I offer two words that anyone who grew up in New England will instantly recognize:
Super. Beef.
I didn't eat very much in school either and preferred to eat at home. Yet, the school made it a point. I was about forty pounds heavier then and lost that excess weight when I kicked the soda out and the junk food, not that I ate much of it, but that was in college in the early 00s.
I still prefer to eat at home.
Sunny delight was real popular in the 80s also
Some of the crew I detassled with called me "Raw SpaghettiOs Boy" when I would bring SpaghettoOs in my lunch and eat them straight out of the can.
I was a Tang guy myself but man those Kid cuisine and lunchables were a kids go to.
I could totally go for a bologna sandwich right now.
I was definitely expecting lunchables to be on here
Ngl, that Japanese stuffed crust pizza sounds really good
No way, I gagged! especially the vegemite one...just nasty.
The kid cuisine segment unlocked a core memory for me. Need to call my mom now to tell her thank you for putting up with me
I was the 420th like ❤❤❤❤
🤣🤣 *"Regardless of what they are made of"* @7:50 😂😂😂
Sunny Delight - Drink it whenever I have eggs and bacon for breakfast or when I have a cold
Spaghetti-Os - have it was a side dish to this day like with pork chops
Bologna - Another breakfast food as a sandwich with toast, cheese and mustard. Usually had it by itself or with cereal
Hamburger Helper - Not my favorite as a kid and I still don't care for it
Molten Chocolate Cake - Never had it but I want to try it!
Fish Sticks - I preferred breaded fish patties to them. Often ate them with the earlier mentioned Spaghetti-Os
Salisbury steak - Hate it as a kid, always disliked it's flavor and how fatty is was
Stuffed crust pizza - Love it, wish I had it more often...
Kid Cuisine - Never had it, just had the small Banquet frozen meals instead
_Jimmie Rodgers_ did the Spaghetti O's jingle? As in, the father of country music? Definitely counts as my coolest new fact learned this day.
I spontaneously remembered the old kid cuisines with the funpacks in the early 90's earlier today. my dumb toddler ass loved those things back then with their brightly colored stickers and mazes/puzzles. fun times
Hey! Molly Schuyler at 5:12! "...not enough to fill any bellies..." and you flash Molly?! Your editor has a real sense of humor. 🤣🤣👍
Why were people mad at sunny delight and not the adult allowing a baby to drink massive amounts of a sugar drink?
My kid's were little then and the cartoons were great. Rocket power, catdog, hey Arnold.
Hahahahahahah Molly Schuyler clip during hamburger helper bit. 😂😂😂 she hated it.
This reminds me of my cravings for that stuff crust pizza back then
Oh hey! I work at the harbor where the boat at 7:51 moors! She's called the Kulshan.
I love this show and how there's references to other episodes on this channel: Still not bored of this 🙂
Gonna go with stuffed-crust pizza on that one 🍕
Love the 90's
It's not Sunday but I'll take it!
Uh-oh Spaghetti-O's!
I remember all of this food stuff from my childhood in the 90's
I can't help but point out that only Phantom Menace came out in the 90's and even then in 1999. The release of the updated OT (and subsequent backlash) feels much more 90s to me.
Star Wars prequels in the 90s? What? Phantom Menace came out in 99, the prequels are definitely an aughts thing.
I'm not familiar with American foods but these are such interesting foods. I definitely am a fan of salisbury steak though... it's so good.
I prefer the purple stuff
2:48 - and in Pittsburgh, we call it jumbo
I'm interested in the histories of Sloppy Joes Vs. Manwich or even seperate vids.
Sunny D, Kids Cuisine! The memories, I miss them! This video put a smile on my face! I am going to buy some next time I am at the store! 😂❤
I can't handle the additives any more but I still make a healthier version of Hamburger Helper that's pretty close to original .
I'm 32 and still love Spaghettios, oddly tasty especially when drunk.
“The Ocean’s Hot Dog” 😂😂
I did not expect the Islanders Gortons Fisherman to pop up 😂
Whn you think of the 90s, you might think of a move that came out in 2005.
I enjoyed your video -- and all the Weird Food History videos! -- but I count it as further proof that young people today don't believe that anything in the world existed before they were born. That is to say, I was born in the mid-1960s, and almost every single item in this video was a common part of the American middle-class family diet when I was growing up; so, you could've removed one or two truly 90s items and retitled it "Fun Facts About Your Favorite 70s Foods." The Oscar Mayer commercial clip shown (of the kid on the dock singing) was from the mid-70s, and everyone I knew, child or adult, could sing that jingle from memory. Oscar Mayer baloney, Spaghetti-Os (another jingle that every 70s kid knew), fish sticks, Salisbury steak, Hamburger Helper -- all of these things were common food staples in the 1970s and considered old hat by the 90s; sorry to break it to ya, kids, but they were all around long before you were. 😁
Yep. Me too.
The 1990s had it going good.
The same thing would have happened to the baby if he were given a lot of carrots. Way healthier than a sugary drink.
My daughter was about 8 months old and got an orange hue, she loved carrots sweet potatoes and orange juice. Her pediatrician explained it was due to too much beta carotene and went away in about 10 days.
Growing up, I would eat my spaghettios cold, straight out of the can. Don't ask me why, but it just taste better that way lol
Ironically enough, I never eaten Spaghetti O’s or Chef Boyardee at any point in my lifetime. Also I was born in 1998, and my brothers were born in 1993 and 1995 respectively. We didn’t have some of the things that were mentioned in this video despite how popular they were during the 90’s.
If Sunny D taught me anything, it was every family fridge in America had the exact same drinks, including purple stuff, in them. Not only that, but in the exact same order, too.
In the UK we don't call em "fish sticks" but "Fish fingers". I have no idea why.
It's because the UK is retarded.
I work for one of the companies that catches the wild Alaska pollock that goes into the fish sticks. (not a fisherman though; I work in accounting.)
That same fish is a staple of McDonald's Filet-O-Fish and plenty of what the Brits call "chippies" that serve fish and chips on the West Coast of the US.
It's always fun when the ships are in port here in Seattle, but they're making us money when they're out in the Bering Sea.
It's also interesting that the industry is tightly regulated by our own trade groups; everyone saw what happened when the cod fishery collapsed in Massachusetts in the '80s and the saying goes "nobody wants to catch the last fish because we'd all be out of business."
Oh man that makes me miss my childhood
I once went to a gas station and saw one of their coolers have OJ, soda, some weird purple drink, and Sunny D.
I grew up Roman Catholic, in the pre Vatican II times when you didn't eat meat on Fridays, and fish sticks were a popular meal
The school lunch on Fridays, fish sticks, was the favorite-just edging out the enchiladas on Wednesdays.
Fish and mac and cheese on Fridays lol. I remember those Catholic School days.
3:25 “ey, you better not make this meat again, capishe !?”
Most of these were the popular kids foods I ate in the 70's. I am really surprised some of them were still popular in the 90's. I just assumed they had better stuff by then. Poor kids. 🙂 Are any of these still popular?
So many missing things! Squeez-it, square pizza (dominator, big foot), SoBe, Snapple, pizza bagels, pizza rolls, corn nuts, etc!
good video
I like how most of this list was stuff that was super popular (and perhaps more popular) in the 80's, 70's and 60's... Normally, Weird History Food does good videos, but this is more on the level of the crap from Mashed or Babbletop.
Room temperature ice cubes LOL
Room temperature ice cubes...
Right? Wouldn't that just be water? LOL
We currently have most of these items in our kitchen.
To be fair the Star Wars prequels existed in the 1990s for exactly 233 days. Also... "room temperature ice cubes" lmaoooooo
Please bring back Rice Oriental... It was awesome... ❤😊 👍
I remembered hamburger helper asked for 1/2 a pound....but y'all know we used a pound. Lol.
Outro be like: "I keep forgettin' every time that you're neeeearrrr"
Spaghetti O's, pizza, Hamburger Helper were good
As a kid I ate TONS of carrots. I was planning on a lucrative life as Bugs Bunny. I'm 48 for reference.
I turned orange. My Mom was a Nurse, she knew I was fine. 😊😊 If only we'd thought to sue the carrot industry to bankroll my life as Bugs!
The turtles ate dominos in the first movie 🤓
1:44 I also had orange skin from vegetables 😅😅
I use to eat kid cuisine all the time as a picky kid.
kid cuisine: the best goddamned brownies I ever ate (after a week of eating straight pasta)
so foods that were popular in the 90s but not started in the 90s. Always hated bologna and ham. Not many pork products I eat now that I'm older tbh.
Most of these things were popular way before the 90s
9 Teen 90 Nine baby!!!!!
I want some of that purple stuff
10:30 Don't forget Gorbachev eating at Pizza Hut
