Rather than ground us in the past and keep us looking backwards, it is mostly attached to positive feelings: studies have shown that nostalgia can improve mood, make us feel more connected to others and increase vitality. While I dreaded the test itself, it was ultimately attached to a feeling of anticipation for good things to come, a time when there were still mountains of possibility and I wasn’t yet resigned to the dutiful slog of adult life and all the responsibilities that come with it.Īs Huffington Post points out, nostalgia is often a bittersweet feeling, and one that is especially common for people in their 20s who are going through life transitions. When the dream is over, I awaken with a sense of soft-lit nostalgia, having briefly revisited one of the happiest times of my life. The dream always ends before the test takes place, perhaps a realization of the theory that you can’t actually die in your dreams, perhaps an attempt by my psyche to transmit that feeling of nervous anticipation into the waking world.
I’m back at my small liberal arts college in the Hudson Valley and it’s the night before the soccer team’s fitness test, a two-miles-in-12-minutes ordeal that caused me no small amount of anxiety throughout the entire summer leading up to preseason.

Let us know! #1 Candy Cigarettes Below, we have compiled a list of ’90s nostalgia food that either got prohibited or canceled, with few still selling in the shops today. However, Kinder Eggs weren’t the only deliciousness that got banned or discontinued. Yes, we are pointing the finger at you, Kinder Surprise eggs.Ĭan you believe that smuggling chocolate eggs to the US would get you in legal trouble, and if caught, you could be fined up to $2,500? Well, that’s one way to become a criminal. Nevertheless, many ’90s snacks were discontinued or even banned and flagged as a choking hazard for children. Whether our favorite childhood snacks were relatively healthy is under question however, undoubtedly, ’90s foods were not as “infested” with GMOs as the foods are now. However, compared to what the youngsters are filling their bellies with today, we still had it pretty good in our school years. With many of you nineties babies turning 30 soon, you’d better get them veggies in your diet, because your gut health is not the same as it was in your teens.
Because apparently, today’s kids wouldn’t be interested in bubble gum that came in a metal box that looked just like a Band-Aid tin, and who knows what chemicals were in the bright-colored Squeezits, aside from sugar? Your favorite ’90s food may have disappeared due to shifting consumer preferences and changing nutritional guidelines. Food fads come and go, and chances are that you’ve forgotten about the long-gone goodies you bought decades ago. Yet, many of the most amazing ’90s candy and snacks you won’t find on shelves anymore. You may find the PopTarts and Lunchables that you used to munch on regularly back in the ’90s. A trip to the grocery store can be a walk down memory lane.
