Warheads were equally prized for their shock factor as they were for their terrifically tangy flavor.

Grown-ups didn't understood their appeal — sure, Pixy Stix are basically just flavored sugar — but that only made them more fun to eat.

Not only did Fruit Stripe Gum step it up in the food-coloring department, but each stick also came with a temporary tattoo.

We're still not really sure how Nerds got their cheeky name, but that didn't stop us from gobbling them up by the handful.

Sour apple, cherry, and watermelon had their fans, but the best Airheads flavor was, and still is, White Mystery.

For the best bubble blowing and gum snapping, we chewed our way through a packet of Bubble Yum.

Fantastically flashy, Ring Pops were worth their weight in gold to a '90s candy fiend.
