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:

1. Animal Crackers: You can walk the animals …and

then bite off their heads!

you were good to go

3. Jackass Corn: If your teeth were suspect, leave

them alone!

4. Cheez Krunchies: When you ate them, you found yourself humming

5. Chippies: The pre-Gilbert kind especially were to

die for.
