Your favourite crap food from the 90s and 00s

[ThisCraftyHelper]

What’s your favourite crap food from 90s and 00s? Utterly UPF and would not dare eat now?
Mine:
Findus crispy pancakes
Bernard Matthew’s Turkey dinosaurs
Frufoo yogurts
Sunny D
Virgin cola
Campino sweets
Freddy bar that were 10p
pop tarts
fish Fingers, beans and microwave chips

OP I think you should have worded your thread title " what you ate in the 90s" because you are getting a lot of nasty comments on here 😬😬😬

I was at uni in the early 90s and I used to
love something called ‘smash’ which was a reconstituted potato thing, just as horrific as it sounds. I used to make it vaguely palatable by adding copious quantities of wasabi paste. I also used to eat tinned ravioli.

How times have changed. My kids would be horrified at the crap I used to eat.

Launched in the uk in 1998 you thicko.

Just ignore them. No idea what their problem is, I guess it’s Friday night and the kids are in bed 🍷🍷🍷

Just one poster that can't play nicely.

Didn't really have much crap food, just home cooked meals and very occasional takeaways. But I hated some things, especially cabbage, swede, liver, blamangange and gravy! Xxx

I used to always have sunny d in my fridge, my friends made fun of me but I was convinced it was a vitamin drink.

As per my response, are you UK based? First introduced to the UK in April 1998.

Apologies OP, lovely thread 🥰

I think it’s just one poster 😂 but love space raiders! Still do

Also, I was a vegetarian all through the 90s - not any more - but some of the meat substitute offerings were vile. Dry and a funny colour. Quorn everything.

I tried some a few weeks ago, still rank.

The goats cheese and Sundried toms seemed so exotic when they became popular 😂

I grew up in the 80’s/90’s, my mum used to go to the Sunday market and buy a huge broken biscuit box. They were pretty much all broken, as you’d expect 🤣, but very occasionally you’d get an unbroken chocolate digestive or custard cream or something. That was a win.

Plus she’d buy bensons spring onion crisps, 10 packs for a quid. Haven’t seen spring onion flavour crisps since, in fact I don’t even think bensons crisps exist any more. They were lush though.

Angel Delight - every Friday night 😊
Mum served it in these ‘posh’ fake crystal dishes.

Sunny Delight was heaven. So bloody bad for you and my mum had banned it from the house so I used to buy it on my way to school.

Yes we don’t need exact manufacturing dates 😂 it’s lighthearted thread about crap food nothing serious.

mini kievs yes! Can you remember the vesta rice dish? Can’t remember what it was called but it was delicious.

Well this took an unexpected turn 😂

Smash was very popular. I still remember the tin it was in. I actually think you can still buy it now.

Ooh, I bloody loved a Ginsters pasta pie. Not sure what the actual name of it was, but it was literally tomato pasta in a pie - really crappy white carbs wrapped in other white carbs, smothered in a sugary sauce and masquerading as a ‘vegetarian pasty’ IIRC 😂.

Objectively disgusting but I could smash one right now.

I still miss Toast Toppers, awful and fabulous at the same time.

Love a Vesta meal when I see one, not very often now though. I love both the noodles.

Tinned meatballs in gravy used to be a 90s teatime favourite, I wouldn't let my grandchildren anywhere near them!

Those individual yogurts that had monster feet on the pot. Can’t remember the name, something monster?

They have definitely changed the recipe. I also ate the Linda McCartney range. Not very nice now however.

There’s always one 🤭

Oh yes I remember those! I actually hated the taste of them but absolutely loved the pots so used to badger my mum for them.
They had kids marketing absolutely nailed in the 90s, didn’t they 😅

We had birds eye hamwiches this week still so good

Them bloody meatballs! I ate a lot of them but now it reminds me of dog food 🤢
