Remember when you could buy multiple snacks and be well fed with the 50 naira that aunty or uncle gave to you when they came to visit your parents? If you were a 90s child, you’d be very familiar with this. Now that we’ve become old enough to be those aunties and uncles to these 2020s kids, 50 naira cannot even buy one biscuit. Is it fair?🥺

Anyhoo, today we’re going down memory lane and reminiscing on all the nostalgic snacks we savoured, shared and enjoyed with our friends back when we were kids. 

As world renowned Producer Quincy Jones once said, “Nostalgia is a necessary thing, I believe, and I think it’s a good thing, because it gives us happiness and it gives us an idea of where we come from and how we got here.”

On that note, let’s walk you through 10 unforgettable nostalgic snacks of the 90s.

Milk Sweet 

Remember how we’d buy this sweet and pretend it was Paracetamol just because it came in that tablet for? We’d also buy it and share with friends, using scissors to cut it 2 each as if we were certified pharmacists prescribing dosage.

Choco Milo

It was rare to buy just one choco milo. If I remember correctly, it was about 3 for 10 naira. So you’d buy like 6 or more at a go and take it alone or share with friends. Choco milo was very addictive. You could lick as much as 12 or 24 in a day and still buy more for the next day. Recently, I asked for the price of choco milo and it was 5 for 200 naira. Nawa o!

Cabin Biscuit (Oxford and Yale)

This is the OG of nostalgic snacks. They’ve been around for as long as I remember. Personally, I’ve always preferred the Oxford Cabin. Did you ever fry it and use it to drink tea? It was super delicious. Safe to say that the man and the woman at the front of the biscuit pack grew up with us. 

Do you also remember the game at the back of the Yale Cabin? Did anyone play it?

Chic Choc

nostalgic snacks

Chic Choc came in vanilla and strawberry flavours. First, we’d separate the biscuit and lick the cream in the middle before eating the biscuit. Doing it any other way was unacceptable.😤

Parago

Parago had chocolate, strawberry and milk flavours but the chocolate flavour was the OG. When it comes to chewy chocolate candy, Parago was second only to Choco Milo. 

OK POP

nostalgic snacks

There are two types of people. Those who lick their OK Pop till it gets to the chewing gum part and those who break the sweet with their teeth as soon as they put it into their mouth. I have one question for those who broke their sweet: Was everything okay at home?

OK Pop came in different flavours and you could buy one for 5 naira. If you google the word useless now, you’d probably see the picture of the 5 naira note.

Speedy

nostalgic snacks

This was the chocolate Pure Bliss of the 90s. The chocolatey flavour was so good. This was a favorite for me. It was also 5 naira for 1. Another thing I liked about Speedy was the color of the biscuit packet. Purple is such a beautiful colour and that made Speedy stand out. Many biscuit wrappers of that time came in blue like Coaster, Okin and Pako biscuit or red, yellow and green like Dr. Pepper, Digestive, Fishy. I just feel there’s something regal about purple.

Robo Robo

This was the local M&M for 90s Nigerian kids. It tasted terrible if it had been left in the sun for too long. Each pack contained 4 different colours: red, yellow, green and blue. I had a problem with the packaging though. Why is something for children packaged in brown? I feel there are brighter, better colors to use for a snack for children. Perhaps they felt the contents were colorful enough and so the packaging didn’t need any more bright colours. Anyhow, the packaging didn’t stop us from buying it. 

Telephone Juice

This was the Fanta for small children. I remember how it was always served at any gathering that involved children. After drinking it, we’d all begin to pretend it was an actual phone and start making calls and texting each other. It came in two colours, yellow and orange. I think I preferred the yellow over the orange. 

Cheese Balls

nostalgic snacks

If your mouth and fingers weren’t orange by the time you were disposing of the cheese balls wrapper, did you even eat cheese balls? It was just one for 10 naira then. I think it’s 100 naira or more for one now. A real nightmare was eating cheese balls while wearing white and staining your white outfit especially if your mother had warned you not to eat it until you had removed the outfit. Just know that your own has finished that day.
