Candy dots and green slime popsicles: Strange 'Geriatric Millennial Menu' will unlock your long-lost childhood snacking memories

Elder millennials and young Gen X: let us gather at this table full of weird foods that you might have eaten in your childhood. As for Gen Z, check out the items you could probably cyber-bully brands into making once again. And Baby Boomers, thanks for feeding us these wacky science experiment foods as we grew up!

While the food on our menu tonight may make you nostalgic, you have to admit that some of these options are pretty gross. As a kid, you don't think twice about eating purple or green colored ketchup, it's just a fun novelty. But looking back, there's a major ick resonating from some of these highly processed food experiments.

I really miss Dunkaroos, and they have recently returned in some areas of the U.S. — hooray! However, definitely would not consume any more Little Hugs barrel drinks, which are basically sugar water with colors. Up next, take in a collection of work memes to propel you through the rest of your week (or at least know you aren't the only sluggish person hanging out by the water cooler.)

Did this actually taste good? Hit the comments if you've tried this and it didn't taste like spinach water.

The Rugrats had the novelty food market in it's clutches while the show was popular!

You had to hide your favorite flavor deep in the freezer, where your siblings couldn't get to it first.

I know they still make Lunchables, but not with this packaging!

If you have strong bones now, thank that double calcium laden SpongeBob mac n' cheese you ate after school every day.

We all know about the aquarium fish tank gravel smell that came along with these chalky vitamins.

This is the Doritos eating method they don't want you to know about.

Excellent idea, but the candy inside wasn't very tasty.
