I loved those lunch snacks, too, Janey - Fruit Roll Ups were a big favourite, and I also loved when my Japanese friend would bring me Pocky or those funny little Koala crackers filled with chocolate stuff.
I didn't get much junk food when I was a kid. It wasn't something my parents liked to spend their limited amount of money on. But we had a super awesome vegetable garden, and it was the coolest thing to be able to eat something that I made grow myself, and it was so yummy.

I'm a food freak, so I can vouch for the awesomeness of fresh produce. Pomegranates are getting strangely popular around here lately. I think it's wonderful that they are. Insanely healthy fruit...
I also dig on berries to an almost unhealthy degree.

I don't remember the taste of Pepsi Blue, but I remember that the carbonation was a lot stronger than it should have been, which wasn't good at all. I hate it when the bubbles are too hard, although I suppose I could have just shaken it up first...
And then Pepsi Summer Mix came along and ruined Pepsi for me forever because it tasted like gummy bears. Melted gummy bears and Pepsi.
@Citrus forts: The clementine crates in Canada must be a lot bigger than I've ever seen. Citrus helmets, maybe.

Cold pizza topped with Doritos. Usually that’s what we ate after all-nighter Nintendo and Sega marathons. So at least every Friday and Saturday. And Mountain Dew. Lots and lots of Mountain Dew.

You missed the Werewolf one, Slade. Hokey name, I think they were stretching it.
Janey, my nephews came to visit over Thanksgiving and I made sure we had lots of variety packs of frito-lay brand snacks, and plenty of Capri Sun.
I love crates of any kind.
The kidsmeal at Burger Chef was one of the first. Predates the Happy Meal by years.

Crystal Pepsi was so rockin cuz it was clear cola, or something.
Jolt was a necessity for me, though my parents wouldnt buy it for me (can't think why)
When I was younger I loved peanut butter and banana sammiches, sometimes with chocolate syrup.
And Jane, I too fiended for those fruit things. I nearly shoplifted a box of Gushers when I was like six.
