Some of the best treats from the 2000s have sadly disappeared from store shelves, leaving us with only the memories of their incredible flavors. These snacks weren’t just food—they were a part of our childhood, packed with nostalgia and happiness. While new snacks have taken their place, nothing quite compares to the unique crunch or sweetness of those old favorites.

Yogos Bits
Yogos Bits, a smaller version of the original Yogos, were bite-sized fruit snacks with a yogurt coating. Released by Kellogg’s, they became an instant favorite for their tangy yogurt flavor and chewy fruit interior. The fun size and packaging made them a popular snack for kids on the go. However, they were discontinued by 2010, leaving many fans disappointed. Although Kellogg’s has released several new fruit snacks over the years, none have managed to capture the same excitement as Yogos Bits.
Jell-O 1-2-3
Jell-O 1-2-3 was a layered dessert that was popular for its fun presentation and delicious taste. First released in the 1970s and continued into the early 2000s, the mix would separate into three layers as it set: a gelatin layer on the bottom, a creamy mousse-like middle, and a foamy top. This colorful, textured treat was a hit with families, as it combined both flavor and visual appeal. However, it was discontinued, and no product since has quite captured its unique multi-layer charm. Fans still fondly remember the joy of making and eating Jell-O 1-2-3.
Smorz Cereal
Smorz Cereal, launched by Kellogg’s in the early 2000s, was a cereal that mimicked the flavor of the popular campfire treat, s’mores. With chocolate, marshmallow, and graham-flavored pieces, the cereal aimed to bring the classic s’mores experience to breakfast. Though it had a devoted fan base, Smorz Cereal was discontinued by the mid-2000s. However, it left a lasting impression, and in 2021, Kellogg’s reintroduced Smorz Cereal for a limited time, much to the delight of nostalgic fans who missed its sweet, crunchy taste.
Hubba Bubba Squeeze Pops
Hubba Bubba Squeeze Pops were a liquid candy treat introduced in the early 2000s. Available in various fruit flavors, they came in a squeezable tube that allowed kids to enjoy the candy in a fun, interactive way. While they may have been too sugary for some, many kids adored the novelty of squeezing the candy directly into their mouths. Unfortunately, they were discontinued by the late 2000s. Fans of the snack still remember the fun and unique experience of eating candy in liquid form.
Pepsi Twist
Pepsi Twist was a lemon-flavored variation of Pepsi introduced in the early 2000s. This citrusy twist on the classic cola was a hit for fans looking for a refreshing change to their usual soda. Despite its initial success, Pepsi Twist was discontinued in 2005 in the U.S., though it remained available in other countries for a time. Many fans continue to miss its zesty flavor, which offered a unique take on the traditional cola taste.
Creme Savers
Creme Savers were a hard candy with a creamy, fruity flavor that hit the shelves in the early 2000s. Available in strawberry and orange flavors, they were a delicious twist on the classic Lifesavers. The smooth, creamy taste made them a favorite for many, whether as a quick treat or a candy to savor slowly. Unfortunately, Creme Savers were discontinued, leaving fans longing for their return. They were recently brought back in limited quantities, but many still reminisce about their original widespread availability.
