Top Ten Uniquely '80s Foods

"my roommate bought a box of fruit roll-ups last week, for the life of me i have no idea why she would eat those things as a semi-grownup!"

Ummmm. . . .because she thinks they're tasty? :-)

What foods are uniquely '80s'?

As a former 80s teen, I can make a whole grocery list of treats, goodies, delicacies and delights that first appeared on the food scene or rose to popularity in the 80s.

Diet coke
cherry coke
cherry 7-Up
Snapple beverages
fruit snacks
microwave popcorn
Capri Sun pouched beverages
juice boxes
Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
sun-dried tomatoes
pasta salad
Nerds candy
Bonkers candy
Blue raspberry flavored items (including Berry Blue Kool-Aid which looked like Windex but was very tasty stuff!)
Frozen yogurt (the sweet, ice-creamy type, not the more acidy stuff you get at places like Pinkberry in today's times)
"Gourmet" jellybeans (like the Jelly Belly brand, made popular by then-head-honcho Reagan)
Stuffed baked potatoes
Fried potato skins
Mozzarella sticks

Dang it, now I have an urge to put on a miniskirt and some flavored lip gloss and munch on some fruit snacks and sip a Capri Sun beverage while listening to "Let's Dance" by David Bowie!

From Talk

Adults and baby food?

I mix baby-food bananas with Fage Greek Yogurt and add some Splenda and sometimes cinnamon. Pretty tasty!

Substitute for Hated Sour Cream

Greek Yogurt is an excellent choice. The 2% is rich and tasty if you want to splurge, so who needs the full-fat? :-)

Do You Always Eat Breakfast for Breakfast?

Eat Breakfast for Breakfast! Does that sound like a David Bowie lyric or what? (Small Jean Genie eats breakfast for breakfast)
Some foods I eat upon waking up are traditional breakfast foods, but sometimes I'd have a grilled cheese or mac-n-cheese. I like yogurt and fruit for breakfast, which is good any-time-of-day food

Freaky Frozen Food Habits?

@lambowner --- Frozen Dr. pepper! Like a Slurpee!
Yes, frozen cheesecake tastes absolutely divine!

Freaky Frozen Food Habits?

Fruits are very tasty when frozen. Like Nature's Italian ice! Refreshingly sweet and frosty. I loved to snack on frozen strawberries when I was a little girl and a teen. Still do.
Other items that are yummy frozen are many candies, such as York Peppermint Patties. Mmmmmm. And yes, Thin Mint cookies
