We all have fond memories from our childhood and a lot of mine are closely intertwined with food. Shocking, I know.
So to indulge in the sweet nature of narcissism that is blogging (pun intended), I’m going to share some of my favorite childhood snacks.
Frosted Animal Cookies – For my 9th birthday, my mom said she’d buy treats for me to share with my classmates. As a grad student, she didn’t have a lot of money so I knew I had to pick my treat wisely and economically. My favorite cookies were the Frosted Animal cookies and though I don’t eat them anymore, I smile whenever I see them.
Doritos Cool Ranch Flavor – 5th grade. If you didn’t have them, you were not cool.
Skor Candy Bar and a New York Seltzer – Summers of 1986 and 1987. If you didn’t consume these in massive quantities and, most importantly, together, you were not cool.
I wonder what will be our child’s “fond memories snacks?” (Hopefully a healthy one will be thrown in.)
