The ’90s was a time for wonderful things. It used to be the time of Hiraya Manawari and Bayani. It made our years lots of fun, hide and seek obsessed childhood. A lot of us didn’t know anything. That time, we had too plenty of strength even after a long day in school but still did not dare take a nap or sleep. What did we preffer for? Snack Time!
Merienda or Snack time, was one of the most favorite by 90’s kids. Our snacks have been simply as colorful as our 90’s culture. We chewed on them while looking at some of the most favorite shows or cartoons of our time. Some of these snacks can still be seen at Sari Sari Stores. But nothing will ever beat the unexplained happiness that came along with opening our childhood snacks.
Hera are some of the Filipino

You have choices to make, chocolate or milky flavor. Even though you almost choked when you sipped the powder too hard, you still never learn your lesson and finish the whole package anyway.
Potchi
Potchi was a newcomer throughout our grade school days. Hence, it was all the rave. That strawberry gummy sweet made us all happy.
Sweet Corn
Crunchy and sweet corn-flavored balls. Another attempt to make ~healthy~ snacks for kids because you can get away with eating chichirya, it 's corn naman eh hehe.
Bubble Jug, Bubble Tape, and Ouch
Remembering the proper old days of ’90s childhood is not whole without bubble gum. We had these great bubble gum candies, even in tape form! Okay, they had been not Philippine-made and not to point out the hefty rate tag, however, we still begged our dad and mom to purchase them for us. When they said yes, the moment was actually golden.
Cheese Ring
Our fingers would be blanketed in cheese after wrapping these rings around them! Most of us got scolded for all the cheesy mess, but they were actually well worth getting your mom mad for. We’re sure they are a remedy food to many grownups even now!
Fat Land Book Review Every new year brings with it a host of new pressing issues and challenges that our nation must confront and overcome, and though economic and global concerns certainly deserve a large part of our attention, as a nation we have almost entirely forgotten or ignored many problems that have been plaguing us for decades. Chiefly among these concerns is the ever growing obesity epidemic, which has seen a dramatic increase over the past several decades and looks to be continuing its trend into our near future. In his book, Fat Land: How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World, Greg Critser delves into many of the significant causes behind this staggering increase in girth our nation has been experiencing, and offers
Jolly Ranchers V.S. Tootsie Rolls Did you know that in the last 30 days, 4.6 million people consumed 5 or more servings of Jolly Ranchers?Also, 64 million Tootsie Rolls are being made daily. Comparing the two statistics, a lot of people prefer the Jolly Rancher over the Tootsie Rolls. The reasons that people might prefer Jolly Ranchers over Tootsie Rolls are that the Jolly Rancher looks more attractive, that it feels better than the Tootsie Roll, and that It tastes way better. The Jolly Rancher looks way more attractive than the Tootsie Roll, for a simple reason.
Their are a lot of sweets you can choose from such as gummy bears,chocolate foundtain,cotton candy,Ice Cream,and more. I also love their sprinkles and toppings. Now on to the next paragraph.
At the first glance the article is about a woman who reminisces about her childhood though the love of Twinkies, she is now grown and understands the truth about Twinkies and how unhealthy they are but still longs for the “snack cake” as her guilty pleasure. The meaning of the Twinkie changes and evolves though out the article and can be interpreted to represent multiple things. While labor issues were a factor in Hostesses bankruptcy, some of the blame can be placed on the migration of people leaning towards heathier options of food. Nguyen encapsulate this concept into a metaphor for the expansion of tolerance and open mindedness in the US now creating a heathier society. Even though the society she lives in now is ‘heathier’ she still reminisces about the Twinkie days where she could digest Twinkies (American culture) without worrying about its effect on her health (mind).
Making Tamales The tamale, also known as the tamalii, is popular throughout parts of the world. The tamale gets its meaning “wrapped food” from the corn husks, which surrounds the outside of the tamale. Though nobody knows when or who invented the tamale it is said to have been traced as far back as 5000 BC and were served as battle food for the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas soldiers.
We usually don’t recognize the corn, due to companies putting corn in food coloring, flavoring etc. However, in The Omnivore’s Dilemma Todd Dawson says, “We look like corn chips with legs”(22.) This proves we are so clueless on how much corn we
For a long time, people chewed almost anything until a sweet, pink invention was made. It was an invention used for many things. Bubblegum was made almost a century ago. Bubblegum changed society. People still chew bubble gum today.
Effects of Having First Lunch Over Second Lunch is a time where for thirty minutes everyone settles down to eat and laugh with their friends In many high schools, such as Mountain Pointe High School, there are two lunches to accommodate the student body because one lunch would be too crowded and large. There is first lunch, which is also called fourth lunch because it occurs after third period and then there is second lunch, also called fifth lunch because it is after fourth period. Both lunches have their benefits, but the ones from first lunch can have a tremendous impact. In general, the effects of first lunch instead of second can greatly improve the quality of life for a student.
When people look at the 1980’s, the question often times asked is, “what was even going on”. Known for its characteristically bright neons, crazy hair dos, and high school coming of age films, this decade definitely made a mark on history. Oftentimes stereotyped with these aspects, the reality of the decade was revolt against the social, financial, and political turmoil of the 1960’s and 70’s. Predating this decade, the United States of America had seen many conflicts in all aspects of life and culture. Beginning in the 1960’s, a new age of counterculture was on the rise.
There were plain tamales, tamales with red, green, yellow, black chile, and tamales with chocolate. There’s a lot of varieties and inventive ways of preparing and making tamales. Everything depends on the persona and how they want to make them, the size, colors and shapes carried almost as much as fillings. The wrappings are made of corn husks, banana
But in the 1990’s, a television show, That 70’s Show, debuted and addressed the real issues in the 1970’s. Although the premise of That 70’s Show is mostly accurate to the 1970’s, there are still aspects and values of the 1970’s that would not be addressed if the show had debuted in the 1970’s rather than the 1990’s. The physical characteristics of That 70’s Show are similar to something that would have aired in the 1970’s. The characters of That 70’s Show are dressed in
Is having junk food in school really such a bad idea? Does it obtain a value that some schools lack? Junk food was provided in school, before the health program came into place, banning it from schools around the country. It was proudly served and allowed in school, and also sold for many school fundraisers. Although some people might say that junk food can be unhealthy, schools should allow, or serve, some junk food because it will make the kids want to eat school lunches more, it will bring in more money to the school, and it will give the students the calories that they need.
Countless people evaluate their life and wish they had the chance to grow up in a different era or decade. An era like The Great Gatsby, everything so grand and luxurious, or a decade like the 50s, when teenagers hung out at the local diner and drove in vintage (vocab word) cars. Nevertheless, nobody gets to choose when they are born. Growing up in any decade, all children experience similar occurrences such as puberty, relationships, and finding themselves; however, growing up in the 80s is vastly different than growing up in today’s world but they both face distinct challenges. When most people think of the 80s, they think of vibrant fashion, upbeat music, and the popular video game Pacman.
Stress has become a major issue for high school students. Many students have seven classes, participate in sports, have after school activities, homework, and need to get an adequate amount of sleep each night. Some parents and outside influencers don’t see the benefits of having a longer lunch period for high school students. Students complain about how long school is now but they don 't have enough time outside of school to complete everything they are expected to. While it is understandable that some parents wouldn’t want longer lunches because it could result in safety issues and students having to remain in school 30 minutes longer than the traditional time, longer lunches would give students a chance to complete homework, get help from teachers, and eat a nutritious meal.
