"Any fruit snack connoisseur's ears will perk up at the mention of Shark Bites. The Fruit Corners brand promised "a ferocious feeding frenzy of fruity fun" with fruit snacks that resembled different shark species like hammerheads, mako, tiger, and great white sharks. Many '90s kids reflect on their favorite piece, the opaque great white shark, tasting the absolute best out of the pack, though we won't judge you if you preferred purple."
"While Betty Crocker brought back the Shark Bites in the 2010s, these beloved fruit snacks have been lost to time. Though there are plenty of fruit snacks available on shelves today, none quite live up to the hype of Shark Bites with the prize inside. There was something special about the opaque pieces that '90s kids are still on the hunt for in fruit snacks today. While millennials may hope they make a return, these famed lunchbox treats will likely remain extinct."
"Whether you found this novelty ice cream treat in the freezer section of your grocery store or the local ice cream truck, it was like no other. The taco-shaped waffle cone with vanilla ice cream and chocolate coating was, and remains, unlike anything else on the market. After being introduced in the '80s, the Choco Taco was discontinued in 2022 as part of the brand's "streamlining" strategy."
Shark Bites were Fruit Corners fruit snacks shaped like shark species, with opaque great white pieces prized for their flavor; Betty Crocker briefly reintroduced them in the 2010s but they have largely disappeared. The Choco Taco combined a taco-shaped waffle cone, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate coating, creating a unique novelty ice cream treat; it was introduced in the 1980s and discontinued in 2022 as part of Klondike's "streamlining" strategy, prompting fans to seek homemade versions or local dupes. Carnation Breakfast Bars served as a portable breakfast option with flavors like peanut butter and chocolate chip.
