My first food thingy post! I will eventually be sharing cool ass recipes here for, all sorts of cool ass things! A little food history from yours truly, I have been in the kitchen at home since I was 7 and it started with helping with homemade 'soup noodles'. I learned as pretty quick passion, and in the past few months I fell away from the love of food due to my lack of being able to work with it. I will share as much advice as I can on being a busy ass parent in the kitchen, or a hurt ass parent in the kitchen, or whatever!
For my first trick, we are going to cover my favorite food group, junk! Candy and snacks always were, and will be a part of my life, and I fi d lots of fun ways to use them! And the best way to start it off?! Oh, just my favorite fruity shapes! The best fruit snacks you most likely forgot about! My personal collection.
Sunkist Fun Fruits
Eating just one would be heresy. You had to take a handful at a time, this could mean four or five packages in a row. You would of course, be prepared to buy 10 boxes at a time. Tiny beautiful jelly beans! Still available in certain areas, not mine.
Thunder Jets
Mmm Jet fuel! This was my first experience I remember with the 'more firm' gummy snack I grew to prefer, personally, you can add a bit more wax for me to gnaw through before a soft little gross thing. The Blue Angels snack? Our generations first 'Mystery Machine!' flavor! Sadly, the creators hit the ejection seat and they were flown into the ocean never to be seen again.
Shark Bites
As the fruits snack wars died off in the 90's. Companies were handed off into unoriginal oblivion. It was a licensed character, in the same crap form. Scooby Doo would lead the snack empire and would always be remembered by nostalgia critics. One of the first variants to offer multi colors into the flavor game. It was the 90's, things were totally becoming Tie Dyed again. Personal favorite? The Great White.
String Thing
My fondest memory? Pulling this things into giant piles of string and inhaling them! Various shapes, that led to just delicious soft stringy goodness! Betty Crocker knew what they were doing with these suckers! Especially thee blue beauties! I cant taste them now!
Soda-licious
MUH GOD! Ohhh yeaaahhh what I wouldn't due for one more taste! Maybe if I make it to the gates at the end they will be there waiting, that's a pretty big if. The 'fizz' and sugar coating, mixed with the firm gummy taste, nothing is ever gonna compare. It is unimaginable that no one was ever able to recreate this. I demand some God damn answers! NOW! Come on Betty.... give us a break and rerelease something worthwhile!
Those are the official Dadmented choices. And of course the gremlins wanted to have their say so, here is their favorites!
Thing 1:
Bringing it back in with the infamous Shark Bites! Twice mentioned because they never went away and can be enjoyed by generations!
Thing 2:
The one dad couldn't mention because it would have ruined everything! Gushers, another shared favorite.
When asked for further reflection there was a joint quote created
*Ahem*
"Gushers are great because if they get stuck to the roof of your mouth, the liquid helps them get unstuck"
