Most of us love junk food, right? Well, let's travel back in time and look at this list of the most popular junk food from the year you were born. Snack food is timeless, but tastes and trends have changed. The folks at Mashed.com put together this list of the most popular junk food from the year you were born. I love lists like this, I love to reminisce on the days of my childhood. But what I love more is reminiscing about snacks.

I was born in 1985. The most popular that year was Sour Patch Kids. Is it a coincidence that I love Sour Patch Kids? Coincidence or meant to be? I say meant to be. This list goes back to the 1950s, and I love that most of these snack foods are still around today! Scrolling through this list brought back a lot of good memories for me, and I hope it does for you as well. I would love to know what was popular when you were born. Feel free to message me and tell me what you got.

By the way, did you know there was a National Junk Food Day? Of course, there is, there's a holiday for everything. Check out this list of some of our favorite junk foods.
