If you want to see a group of Gen Xers and Millennials bond over a common interest, tell them to discuss the that they can't get anymore. As an '80s baby myself, I'm convinced nothing was better after school than a can of Planters Cheez Balls, accompanied by a box of Hi-C Ghostbusters Ecto Cooler juice. Others might reminisce about McDonald's deep fried apple pies (the modern ones don't even come close), Kudos brand granola bars, or Hostess Pudding Pies.

And if you remember Gripz snacks with fondness, there is good news: you can still get them. Gripz debuted in 2005 and were perfect for tossing in a lunchbox, back pack, or sports bag. These handheld pouches contained Cheez-Its, chocolate chip cookies, graham crackers, and other popular treats.



You simply tore off the corner of the package and poured the contents right into your mouth or hand. For those of you who assumed the snack was discontinued, the line is indeed alive and well, and available at some Walmart stores and Amazon, although they have sold out at the latter before. So, if Gripz was a favorite of yours growing up, now might be the time to stock up, in case they ever really do join one of the many , may they rest in pieces.

Not all of the original flavors are available While you can still purchase Gripz, some might be disappointed that their favorite types are difficult to find, if not impossible. As of this writing, there appears to be two packs that you can snag online and in stores: one contains multiple packs.
