    6 Old-School Lunch Snacks that Need to Make a Come Back

    I went to a birthday party the other day, and one of the parents whipped out a cooler filled with icy cold Capri Suns, and it occurred to me that I haven't had a pouch drink in literally decades.

      Squeeze Its!
      I'm sure these things have a thousand names. While my wife has no memories of these at all, I would go crazy with glee to find them again. Basically, it was some form of sugar syrup concoction in a plastic bottle made to look like a real glass bottle, complete with some weird twist off top thingy.
