Remember when the snack aisle was absolutely UNHINGED?

Butterfinger BB's. PB Crisps. Doritos 3D. Surge. Fruitopia. Life Savers Holes.

The '90s gave us some of the greatest snacks and drinks of our childhood, and then, somewhere along the way, a bunch of them just...disappeared.

This week on Average Joe Nerdcast, Nate is taking you on a trip back to the glorious days of questionable food innovations, unforgettable commercials, and brightly colored beverages that probably had no business being sold to children.

We're talking about Bart Simpson selling Butterfinger BB's, why Surge had a bunch of Kentucky kids pretending to be Stone Cold Steve Austin, and the time Life Savers managed to create a choking hazard with the packaging.

Plus, we discover that Canada is apparently hoarding Fruitopia, give the legendary SoBe lizard drinks their flowers, and discuss the sacred parenting tradition known as the Dunkaroos Dad Tax.

So grab your favorite childhood snack, crack open a cold one (preferably Surge), and come hang out with us over in The Lobby, the official Average Joe Nerdcast Discord server! We're building a digital campfire for average Joes who love gaming, movies, nostalgia, and everything in between.

And don't forget: Nerdoween 2026 is almost here! Our Passport to the Paranormal is getting ready to take you around the world for spooky stories, folklore, and things that go bump in the night.
