Loved as a Child, Loathed as an Adult
Childhood Food Favorites Turn Modern Day Monstrosities
An unadulterated ode to our youth. Gourmandize takes you on a gluttonous journey down supermarket memory lane.
1. Kool-Aid
This fluorescent, food dye enriched, birthday party beverage was the magic potion for all that was cool: edible playdough, tie-dye t-shirts and colorful hairstyles .
2. Kraft Dinner and Hot Dogs
Don't let this strategically placed cast iron pan fool you, this dish is far from fancy.
3. Pop Tarts
Perhaps my memories of this toaster treat are clouded by the wafts of smoke or deafened by the sounds of our smoke dectector, all due to my little sister impatiently prying the decadent icing bits from the toaster each and every morning.
4. Corn Dogs (Pogos)
No caption necessary.
5. Lucky Charms
' They are magically delicious!'... jam-packed with artificial flavorings and only a mere 11 grams of sugar. This cereal will always be a teacher's favorite.
6. Warheads
Talk about childhood cruelty. 6 Warheads at once is the truest testament to playground power.
7. Bologna
Best served as a roll-up, wrapped around a Kraft Cheese Slice.
8. Cheez Whiz
Nothing else will ever quite hit the spot like the slippery slime of this bright orange processed cheese spread. Best served when smothering celery.
9. Jaw Breakers
Just the name in itself is enough to send chills down the spine.
10. Marshmallow Fluff
Must be sampled in every flavor and eaten directly out of the tub.
