27 Food Trends From the 1980s We Don’t Need to Return

Nostalgia for the 1980s is hot right now, with shows like Stranger Things basically making it their whole thing. But that doesn’t mean we want everything from the 1980s to return. In fact, most of the popular food trends from back then are more than invited to remain stuck in the past. New Coke, of course, is the biggest example. But there were plenty of other bad ideas, too, like pizza-flavored snack chips, McDonalds selling spaghetti and godforsaken Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles puddin’ pies “loaded with puddin' power!” 

Ah, who are we kidding? We’re maybe still a little nostalgic for some of these, too.
