Good To The Absolute Best: Iconic Kid's Flavours Of '90s

The foods we're about to list now, for better or worse, are the very food items that define growing up in the 1990s. Why? Just Because. No seriously, some of these foods might not seem iconic at all, but they are! Do you know anyone who grew up in that decade and doesn't seem to know these or have a favourite they'd munch on, just about all the time? No, you don't.

Let's just say it already: These foods are the backbone of every great childhood, the memories, the friendships. They made you feel better on the worst of days and happy on every other day.
They belong to the 90s and every kid of the time would second that in an instant. And, of course, every 90s' kid remembers these and misses these.

Pan Pasand 
Pan tasted so good and made you feel all grown up. But the trouble, as always, were the grown-ups. Every time you asked daddy for one while out on night walk, the answer was, “It isn’t for kids”. So, you had a Pan Pasand – same taste, no parent’s hassle.

Kismi
Throw this name at Freud and see him having a field day. Nothing hit the spot like a bar or two of this cardamom-flavoured toffee-cum-chocolate. And it was called Kis-Mi, gettit?

Chutki
An impressive combination of many different flavours, oh and the fresh breath it left on you. It was one of those things, you'd eat to look and feel cool. Because not all parents wanted their kid smelling like this pan masala, you know. Talk about forbidden fruit.

Aam Pachak
The only way, kachha aam (raw mango) was to be eaten. These flavourful tablets symbolised all that was great, enjoyable and reassuring about life. Whiling away time with your best friend in the last row in the Math class wouldn't be worth it if there weren't Aam Pachak.

Poppins
A pot of awesomeness, especially because it came with all these different colours and fruity flavours to choose from. This is what every other toffee wished it could be – this multi-hued, sugar-infused, crunchy goodness.
