My favorite from the 90's that I miss dearly.... Orbitz drink. I was allowed to get one a week when I went to dance class, and it was the highlight of my week. Sad, I know.

fun look back, even if our memories differ.
Here's a website that shows food trends (home, restaurant and products) by decade. http://www.foodtimeline.org/fooddecades.html#1990s
One thing that should be on this list is "tall food" - those ever-more-outlandish and ridiculous ways food was plated in restaurants.

The only things I recognise are the sun dried tomatoes but maybe that's a UK perspective.

"When pizza's on a bagel, you can have pizza anytime." Still haunts my dreams.

How old is the author on this? lol. The first three things are so painfully 1980s. And it's downright nervy to put anything grasshopper on a 90s list. The 50s are ashamed of you right now. Homemade pop tarts? No. no no no. The 90s were about Toaster Strudel. The homemade pop tart, if anything, is a trend of the last 10 years. Same with the rejuvenation of ranch/green goddess /french dressing and putting everything in a tacky mason jar. This list was concocted by someone who either wasn't alive in the 90s or was a tiny tot. It was not complied by a person who was an adult in the 1990s.

As if people can't have different memories of the '90s. Pop tarts stand out in my mind as much as Toaster Strudel. This is a recipe site; that's why the things are homemade. No one homemade Milano cookies in the '90s either. As for the grasshopper complaint - frankly, no decade since the Stone Ages has been original. Just because there were flared jeans in the '70s as well as the '90s doesn't mean someone who remembers them from 1998 is making it up.

This is pretty funny! I think the only thing missing is roasted garlic mashed potatoes?

Apparently I slept through the 1990s but only now, thanks to you, have I woken up to this fact.

Excellent roundup! I haven't made myself a pizza bagel in years, but now I'm totally craving one!

Excellent find on that BBQ chicken pizza. Should we have a Small Batch Snackwells? (Probably not.)
