Embarrassing Eats

Just picture a 10 year old girl in the early 2000's walking home from school. She lives in a small town with one or two general stores and a few gas stations. She stops in the corner store on her way home for an after school snack. She going through the 3 isles, pretending to sum up her choices, when she always chooses from 2 different things.
Now at 19, a fairly healthy eater who tries to make smart decisions about what she eats, she looks back and says "WHY?"  Well if you didn't figure it out, this kid was me. The cool thing about being a kid is that you just don't give a care. Now I just laugh at myself because my favorite snacks when I was 10 are repulsive to me now.

 Bug juice-
 The colored little drinks with critters printed on them. What kid wouldn't go gaga over them? 85% sugar. 10% food coloring. 5% I don't even want to know. That's an exaggeration. I guess they've revamped Bug Juice and it's a little healthier now, but still high in sugar. (I didn't even know they still made it?)













Fire Cracker pickled sausage-
This one  is even worse, I swear. I LOVED these things. The vinegary spicy smell of them would make my mouth water. They really were 2 for $1 too. Anything I could get for a dollar as a kid made me excited. Actually, that still counts for today too. The ingredients and nutritional facts make me cringe though. The one good thing is they are high in protein, but high in fat, sodium, preservatives, and are definitely over processed. This makes the child in me sad to the bone. :[
