Let’s take a trip down memory lane, shall we?
While we love the new-age snacks and food culture, there’s always something about going back to the roots of our memories.
Those idyllic childhood days from literally drowning in Lacnor milk after school, or having heaps of Chips Oman by the nearby supermarket *cries*. It honestly makes us want to relive it again.
So, here’s a teeny snack throwback that, maybe, just maybe, will influence you to take quick a trip to your local grocery for these gems. We’re just the push you need today.
Chips Oman
It-girl snack because: A classic will always be Chips Oman, am I right? Your literal snack bestie would always be and still is, Chips Oman. And it’s no wonder popular cafes are adding them to their scrumptious menus, it’s simply *that* good.
Sour Punk
It-girl snack because: Licorice who? We don’t know her. We only know Sour Punk. Every 2000s kid knows the power of Sour Punk, it was all the craze!
Mr Krisps
It-girl snack because: Aside from candy rings, M. Krisps we’re the real diamond snacks the girlies had a fun time snacking on.
Emirates Pofaki
It-girl snack because: The only cheese puffs we accept FR. IFYKYK, these we’re the literal It-girl of its era. And it’s understandable why.
Chupa Chupa Melody Pops
It-girl snack because: The fun always starts with Chupa and ends with Chups. Those were the happy times when annoying your BFFs with the whistle was the literal pastime.
Yan Yan
It-girl snack because: The realest know the original chocolate dip and biscuits are Yan Yan. Not a day goes by where kids then, and even now (the padawans slayed) are munching on this snackable.
Royal Dansk
It-girl snack because: If these weren’t replaced with sewing supplies (IFYKYK…) you’d get the delight of the most delectable butter cookies ever.
Areej
It-girl snack because: Those days after school and running to get a cold orange Areej was simply 👌 chef’s kiss. And with this summer heat *ugh* you need this refhreshment.
Funzels
It-girl snack because: Funzels and Yan Yan we’re the it-girl snacks (for me at least). Like, chocolate and biscuits? For less than Dhs3? Definitely would have mountains in the room!
Glucose
It-girl snack because: If Orero and milk (though of course a classic) was your fave, Glucose and Lacnor was ours. Nothing like a quick snack break with the milky biscuits with your childhood friends during lunch break – literally missing those days.
Lacnor
It-girl snack because: If you brought either the chocolate, banana or strawberry Lacnor milk for lunch, drowning in this OG drink will always give you the boost you need to face the day. Even if Gen Z is in the adult era, this drink will def bring you back in time.
Bugles
It-girl snack because: There’s no such thing as being too childish with Bugles. Especially when you get to play with the hat-shaped chips.
P.E.Z
It-girl snack because: If you didn’t collect the toy dispensers as a kid, did you really have a childhood? *side-eye*. This was the ultimate girlie candy fr.
Macintosh Quality Street
It-girl snack because: Parties weren’t the highlight, it was the Mackintosh’s Quality Street at the middle of the table, honestly.
Erco Marshmellow
It-girl snack because: Girlies, the season’s it-girl snack was literally the braid marshmallow Ecro. If spaghetti were a kid’s snack, it would be this!
