22 of our favourite childhood snacks
As children, any time we could dig into our lunch bags
and enjoy our favourite snack was the best part of our day. Yes, we indulge in
our gizzadas and grater cakes and such, but sometimes it was the store-bought
goodies that got us going and made us grin.
Oftentimes loaded with sugar or coated in our
dentists’ worst nightmare, all we knew was that it was delicious and made us
happy. We could share them with our friends if we wanted, and if not, simply
taunt them with “who beg nah get, and who nuh beg, nuh want”.
Take a walk down memory lane and check out some of our
favourite childhood treats:
