Growing up I LOVED the Oreo cookie 100-calorie packs. Recently bought for the first time in YEARS, which got me thinking: why don't I buy these more often? Some others that come to mind... Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches, Kashi oatmeal/chocolate chip cookies, Snyder's pretzel rods...

I'm curious: what are some products you used to be obsessed with, forgot about and recently rediscovered?

    I had my first pepperoni Hot Pocket for the first time in at least a decade and it was pretty freaking yum.

    I used to eat these all the time- the ones with the vanilla drizzle as well but I dont remember what that was. I asked Hubs to get some on his last covid shop run but there was 0 rice cakes of any kind :s

    Corn tortillas. I haven't had them in a while and completely forgot how delicious they can be. One weird thing I do is spread a bit of butter and parmesan on them and stick them in the microwave for like 45 seconds.

    Also, a basic food I just weirdly forgot about - honey. Been really enjoying it on toast recently.

    The wasabi mayonnaise I used to buy in Amsterdam but can't find in London. Found an online shop that carries it. The wasabi is not uniformly distributed in this brand. There are little granules of wasabi taste explosion.

    I didn't have a Magnum Almond for many years, for good reason. Now with the lockdown, hubby bought a sickpack of them, but they don't taste like they used to. The icecream is not so firm anymore, more like an italian gelato.
    I used to have them 10 minutes out of the freezer before eating them, now I have to hurry or they will melt.
    And my freezer is colder now than my old one, so that cannot be the reason.
    Anyone else experienced this?

    Chia seeds. I like them. I was on a chia seed kick a few months ago, and there is still a half full package in my freezer. I just kind of forgot about it. Yesterday, out of nowhere, I decided to add a spoonful to my milk tea to make faux bubble tea. I woke up this morning and my first thought was "I'm going to make this again this evening".

    Something I haven't had in a while: pizza. This is how it usually is for me, though. I eat it, stop thinking about it, then remember it again several weeks or months later.
