If you are a 90s kid who grew up watching cartoons and belongs to the generation that witnessed the early days of cell phones in India, you probably miss the 90s snacks, including 90s kids’ chocolates, 90s chips, and several other snacks you used to eat. Gone are those good old days, and now we have all grown up, juggling between married life and tonnes of office work. But, there comes a moment when we cherish the childhood memories of when we were little kids, with no worries and the freedom to eat whatever we wanted.

Nostalgic Snacks Of India: Cadbury Bytes
What would we not give to have these little pockets of chocolate-filled delights again? These 90s snacks in India disappeared from stores for almost a decade because of rising competition from giants like Oreo and Frito-Lay.
Nostalgic Snacks Of India: Cheetos ‘Whoosh’
This 90s snack from India was a pleaser because of the compliments it received: Tazos. Collecting these and showing off one’s superiority in the Tazo collection was the ultimate sport back then.
Nostalgic Snacks Of India: Hippo Toasties
Round disks with a hippo embossed on them and exceptional flavors! Recall it anywhere? They were an instant favorite, so much so that people have signed petitions to bring them back! Call them chips or toasts? Whichever is healthier to explain!
Nostalgic Snacks Of India: Lays Chaat Street
What happened to every other Indian Lays flavor will remain a mystery. Today, we’ve got everything from Spanish Tango to American sour cream to West Indies’ Chilli, and all of India combined into a single ‘Blue’ Lays. Bring back the chaat, please!!!!
90s Kids Chocolate: Ulta Perk
We were always too proud to buy one of those rare edition chocolates, old perk chocolates as it is called now. Where will we find this 90s kids chocolate again? The picture of Ulta Perk alone is enough to bring the experience back!
90s Kids Chocolate: Tiny Dairy Milk
These just hit different, both taste-wise and birthday-wise! Still, remember asking your mom to just give you one more piece before putting the box back in?
90s Soft Drinks in India: Blue Pepsi
Remember that berry-flavored cola that we used to drink with our friends? How will we ever threaten anyone again by forcing them into believing that we are drinking Harpic?
90s candy: Mentos ‘Marbels’
Regardless of selling these candies with a misspelled name nationwide, they were one of the first treats to introduce color-based flavors and were worth fighting our siblings over!
90s candy: Calcium Sandoz
The ultimate energy-giving, calcium-boosting, healthy bites we knew were secretly just candies! Remember having them.
90s candy: Center Shock
That sour & shocking gum, at first, is quite astonishing to our taste buds and later pleasing when it turns to a sweet flavour. A fantasy to many because apparently gum is for ‘adults’! But we’ve all had our chances with centre shock!
This is one of those “why do all the good things have to end” moments to recall childhood memories. Tell us which of these ’90s snacks in India hit you the most and what you missed.
