You didn’t have a childhood in the 1990’s if you didn’t drink Hi-C Ecto Cooler, straight up. In a 90’s landscape filled with insane snack game competition, Ecto Cooler E Juice achieved upper echelon status and with good reason: it was green, it was sugary and it was inspired by Ghostbusters. And do I even need to say more about a movie…

Do I even need to go on about the legend that is neon pink Simpsons Doughnuts? I don’t, but I do because SEO game strong. If you’ve never made glazed or frosted doughnuts before, making Homer Simpson’s famed D’Oh Nuts is a great start.

You seriously have not lived until you’ve had an It’s-It ice cream sandwich.

Earlier this month, Burger King brought their infamous “Kuro Burger” (literal translation: “Black Burger”) from their Japanese franchises to the states as part of a Halloween promotion. Originally started as a marketing gimmick in Japan, the Kuro Burger’s black bun was used to hype the fast food chain overseas. The Japanese version used squid ink bread, which is hearty and delicious…
