Pick: Would you rather eat a snack from today or a snack from the past?

Take a bite out of this! Take your pick between discontinued snacks from the past or popular snacks from today.

There is no debating that when it comes to snackin', it doesn't matter the decade. It's going to be delicious. Each decade, from the '60s to the '90s and beyond, has produced some sweet, salty and delicious snacks.

But that's what makes this quiz so hard. We are asking you to choose between discontinued but once-popular snacks from the past and some of the best snacks of today.

We all have our go-to snack foods, and your favorite may be on the list. Try not to get too salty when you see others' choices. Grab a snack and have fun!

This proves one thing, snacks have gotten tastier and more creative although I'm not sure there any healthier

I got 66% similar to everybody else's answers. I chose Smurf-Berry Crunch over Trix because I remember loving that cereal as a kid back in the '80s ❤️. And I chose the original Yoo Hoo over Nesquick because I remember Yoo Hoo back in the '80s and it was delicious 😋! Not like the Yoo Hoo of today.

Nesquick doesn't even taste the same anymore. Back in the '80s, Nesquick used to come in tin cans and it had much better flavor to it compared to today's Nesquick that comes in plastic containers and just doesn't taste the same. The other one that I chose that was different from the popular vote was String Things. They were pretty good when I was a kid 🙂.

And the last one that that I chose that was different from the popular choice was the peanut 🥜 butter spreads. I chose Koogle over Nutella. I've tried Nutella and it doesn't taste good at all. I never had Koogle but it's gotta be better than Nutella and that's why I picked it.

This was a pretty fun poll, MeTV 🙂👍!

75%. Never heard of Banana Flips (and wouldn't eat them, anyway--love bananas themselves, can't stand anything banana-flavored). Love both cherry Pepsi and Crystal Pepsi--liked Pepsi Berry, too--and I grew up on Nestle chocolate milk. The closest I ever got to Yoo Hoo was trying it once (only once) in the late 70s/early 80s and a vague memory of my dad saying he used to deliver it...I think.

I also grew up with Nestlé chocolate milk. I tried YooHoo a few years ago and it tasted like a very watered-down version of chocolate milk. Wasn't crazy about it.

50% Half of the stuff I've never heard of, and I don't consider breakfast cereal as snack food no matter how much sugar it has in it.
Coldnorth jd4862 13 days ago
I love dry sugar pops for a snack anytime. Right out of the box, no milk

Meh 50%. Honestly the corn chips were so similar it didnt matter which you ate, I picked Fritos because that was always the gold standard for corn chips. LOL the Fritos jingle was better too. " munch a bunch of fritos".

I don't remember Planters corn chips at all--I may have eaten them, I just don't remember. Now Planters cheese balls...those I remember...went through cans of them (yum yum yum)!

Ah ya definitely. Think I've seen them still. But haven't tried them. Wonder if they are still good?
Moverfan Gossemer 7 days ago
I haven't seen them in years, so my only advice would be to check the expiration date on the can. (And I'd they are still making them, tell us where we can buy them--I loved those things!(

I had a banana flip about 3 years ago on a trip out west. Can't remember what town we were in when I saw them in a mini mart.

50% similar. The only one I wouldn’t really want to choose were the #11 ones.

Toastettes always tasted like a mouth full of Crisco.

* I was out on a public street when a local cop approached me to verify that I wasn't drinking from an open can of beer. At that time I was drinking Yoo Hoo

The banana flip is the 1 I miss most. Those were tasty. Twinkies are good but don’t taste the same as I remember
johnkov 18 days ago
25% similar. I can't help it, I miss the old snacks 😕
zman47240 18 days ago
83% similar. Just about all of the modern day items seem more popular. Yoo Hoo is still around btw.
TheSentinel 18 days ago
100% - looks like what's popular now (i.e. the current snacks) were the most obvious choices.
