If there’s one things millennials love, it’s remembering all the things they enjoyed from their childhood, in an attempt to escape the stressors of present reality.
And when it comes to stress, what’s better than turning to comfort food?
I’m talking Pop Tarts, Sunny D, Waffle Crisp. The kind of snacks you wished your parents would stock the cabinets with.
Unfortunately, not all snack foods stand the test of time. So instead of visiting the vending machine, let’s take a moment to honor these 14 discontinued snacks millennials will remember.

Ok, so maybe there’s a reason some of these snack foods were taken off the shelf. Not every idea is a winner. Besides, we’ve gotta make room for the snacks of future generations.
But Waffle Crisp. Waffle Crisp deserved so much better.
