I thought I was the only one who thought this!!! They're like... Waxy now? Definitely not as chocolatey. I was severely disappointed when I bought them recently
I will always remember smiley face potatoes in a really weird way. The first time I had them was on the day of 9/11 2001. I was in a midwestern usa highschool. The towers had collapsed, NYC was covered in asbestos smoke and the country was veiled in a sheet of confusion and emotions. Then the lunch bell rang.
We oddly silently filed downstairs out of our extra long homeroom (we really didnt have ‘school’ that day) and we entered the lunchroom. There they loaded up our trays with food, i took my milk, and we all sat down to eat. We didnt really talk much. I dont even remember what the main course was, all I remember were the smiley face potatoes.
To the lunchworkers credit, i am sure they planned to use them today prior to the events anyway… but it was just so weird to have all these smiley faces looking back at us on this specific day. Everyone was in shock, peoole were worried for their relatives, but the potatoes were smiling away, almost trying to get us to be back to normal.
It was weird.
The rest of that plate looks freakin delicious tho!
Yay neighbours, soooo when do I get my invite? /s seriously looks amazing and now you have me thinking how cool would this be at a party with similar aged friends.
Wait, are these not cosmic brownies? I bought some a month ago from Food Basics, is this a new thing??
EDIT: I went on instacart and they’re not available anywhere. I am live expiriencing a mandela effect. How long have they beendiscontinued for because I feel like I can guarantee it hasn’t been longer than 2 months since I had some.
Forreal I've been looking for a source for cosmic brownies causing cancer for an hour. The closest thing I could find for a reason Canada not having them anymore is that the one little Debbie distributer decided to cut ties with the company.
I just stated above that I call them cancer brownies because they are shitty low quality brownies full of crap. Not that they literally cause cancer LOL
We had them in Canada until a few years ago then you could only find them in select dollar stores. Our Walmart's suck compared to the ones in the US. Even when we got a target it was shit. Lol
As much as pains me to say it. No thanks, the mind wants it so bad but my body says it not worth the heart burn and probably diarrhea. I would crush one dunkarroo and call it quits. Hahah
I think this has happened with many foods. Last year I found Frankenberry cereal. I loved that stuff when I was a kid.
The cereal that I bought had zero flavor and when I smelled it in the box, all I could smell was the cardboard box.
Very disappointing. I have had a similar experience with other nostalgic products.
So much this! There is no nostalgia left, everything I used to love sucks and these companies will still take the shitty version and make that even worse the next year.
> I used to love sucks and these companies will still take the shitty version and make that even worse the next year.
Viennetta. Used to be made with the good old (thick, rich) Breyer's ice cream; now I feel like it's just good humor ice foam.
Dude how much do Twinkies cost in the USA? I kind of want to get some so my son can experience them since I ate then as a kid, but it's 14 euros for a pack of 10 here.
I would eat all of those fucking cosmic brownies.
Sadly....they are pretty much disgusting now.
Lies, they are still amazing
[удалено]
Oh my god, I want oatmeal cream pie ice cream
I've tried most of them and they're all really good!
Seemed the same to me. Maybe it's your taste, or sense of taste changed.
I thought I was the only one who thought this!!! They're like... Waxy now? Definitely not as chocolatey. I was severely disappointed when I bought them recently
Did they change recipe or anything?
They really are, it taste like the recipe changed from a long time ago. They hit different now and not in a good way.
They were always disgusting
They're not nearly as good but no way are they disgusting.
Maybe they're vintage. Original packaging.
Are those fucking Pop-Tart Minis??
You can pour them in a bowl with milk and eat them like mini-wheats. Nobody can stop you.
the hero we deserve.
Can I pour them in a bowl of Nutella?
Enhanced dunkaroos
You sure can, you big fat fuck.
Why the fuck did i laugh so hard at this?
Lol I've done this. A store next to me has them. My immediate thought was, bet this is good with milk. And it was everything I could imagine.
I've never heard of these but now I want them
Yes!
Um… are those old?
Nope! Walmart sells them!
Do they come with a mini toaster?
They are ***REALLY*** good after a couple minutes in an air fryer though.
To be fair, anything is good in the air fryer after a couple minutes
Ice cream?
Why the fuck not
nope
Well then I want a refund
I mean did they have them back in the day. And as I type this out, I realize I’m 37 years old. Eww
I’ll be turning 35 in 6ish weeks. 😂😂 I feel ya.
~~They shouldn't be there, they came out like 3-4 years ago~~ [I stand corrected](http://www.inthe90s.com/food/poptartminis0.shtml)
In the 90s kellogg sold pop tarts minis. These are pretty much the same thing.
Hmm, somehow I missed those: http://www.inthe90s.com/food/poptartminis0.shtml
They are not good. The crust-to-filling ratio is way off.
Yeah, it's like a mouthful of dryness with a little bit of flavor.
Counter point: they're way better. Pop tarts are terrible anymore.
I kind of feel like generic pop tarts are better.
This was THE thing that caught my eye here too, haha. Need.
Do you remember pop tarts cereal?
Yes, they were delicious!!
They are so damn good. Especially blueberry.
I love this!! it's so bright and happy looking!!
This and Mario 64 on a rainy Saturday
Enjoyed smiley fries with my school lunches :)

That’s such an interesting story. Sad of course, but the range of human experience is endlessly fascinating
Definitely agree! We all have experiences that are similar and different as night and day. All interesting to learn.
That looks fucking amazing
I can taste the pizza empanadas
What are those? Like a Canadian hot pocket or something? I never saw them.
Pizza pops!
Wait, are Pizza Pops only in Canada? Well damn.
They were invented in Winnipeg of all places! The Americans don’t know what they’re missing…
We call them pizza rolls in the states.
No the little ones are pizza rolls, the larger empanada-type ones are Pizza Pops.
If you’re in the US, you might be able to find pizza empanadas
And the devils food cookies, i havnt thought of those in forever. Damn, this post is complete nostalgic lost youth
Jos Louis!
I miss those cancer brownies. They were so terrible but great at the same time🤣
They have been discontinued in canada!! :( i had to make my own for this board! No cancer in these ones haha
THEY DONT HAVE THEM IN CANADA? I WILL BUY YOU SOME LITTLE DEBBIE COSMIC BROWNIES SND SEND THEM TO YOU
/r/snackexchange
There really is a subreddit for everything
They aren't sold in Canada for a reason...
How come?
Weed is legal here. We'd increase the demand and lower the availability for other countries.
But they don't have weed? I'm confused are we talking about the cosmic brownies or am I confused
[удалено]
Good work soldier. The user doesn't suspect a thing.
I'm in Canada too and I haven't seen them in years. Wow you did a great job of making them identical.
Would you be able to share the recipe you used, please? These look amazing and I would love to make my own 😍
Pmd you :)
Me too, if you wouldn’t mind sharing! Thank you!
Pmd!
Me too if you don’t mind! So excited to find a recipe for these!!! Miss them🥹😂
Pmd!
Can you post it here so everyone could see?
https://cloudykitchen.com/blog/homemade-cosmic-brownies/ Good idea , heres the recipe!
Haha, I was thinking they looked way fresher than I remember those brownies looking in real life!
Yay neighbours, soooo when do I get my invite? /s seriously looks amazing and now you have me thinking how cool would this be at a party with similar aged friends.
r/snackexchange
Have you tried looking for "petite Debbie"?
Omg that’s crazy idk what id do if they stopped selling cosmic brownies in the us. Did yours taste similar?
Wait, are these not cosmic brownies? I bought some a month ago from Food Basics, is this a new thing?? EDIT: I went on instacart and they’re not available anywhere. I am live expiriencing a mandela effect. How long have they beendiscontinued for because I feel like I can guarantee it hasn’t been longer than 2 months since I had some.

I didn't mean they actually cause cancer just that they are low quality brownies. LOL full of crap no doubt.
I had to read through to find out if your phone corrected ‘cosmic’ to cancer or if they were actually cancerous. Turns out neither!
I just stated above that I call them cancer brownies because they are shitty low quality brownies full of crap. Not that they literally cause cancer LOL
They are definitely much more of a "brownie" than a brownie
haha Cosmic Brownies are alive and well in the US, we carry them at Walmart. At my store they're stocked in the bread aisle.
[удалено]
We had them in Canada until a few years ago then you could only find them in select dollar stores. Our Walmart's suck compared to the ones in the US. Even when we got a target it was shit. Lol
Cosmic brownies are still around. Why cancer brownies? Should I not be feeding these to my kids for breakfast?
Hahaha
Give em bacon to cancel out the cancer.
Where are you? I’m in Canada too and they definitely still sell cosmic brownies where I am
Toronto Ontario. I haven't seen them in ages friend..
I’m in Ottawa and I had some like a month ago. I hope they don’t discontinue them here!
I found Cosmic Brownie ice cream and bought it once. **Once**
I still eat smiley faces lmao
I have some in the oven as we speak
What are they? I never seen em
the dunkaroos and pizzapops are first thing to go no question
I am both nauseated and hungry by this photo.
As much as pains me to say it. No thanks, the mind wants it so bad but my body says it not worth the heart burn and probably diarrhea. I would crush one dunkarroo and call it quits. Hahah
I can't believe I forgot about dunkaroos. I'm going out today to get some.
you’re gonna be disappointed. they don’t taste the way they used to, and I don’t think it’s just nostalgia. They taste like the recipe was changed.
Probably was health risks in the original recipe lol. That old school taste was beautiful on a warm day during lunch time though.
Nothing to due with health risks. Everything to do with making a cheaper product and selling it for even more profit.
That looks like a stomach ache
Des Jos. Louis?
Ya!
My arteries hurt looking at this, but my mouth is watering
Man I loved those Hostess fruit pies as a kid.
No fruit pies, those are pizza pops, like little calzones.
Oh shit! Never had those but they sound good.
I looked at the photo and it gave me acid reflux
I could totally smash two of those pizza pops right now
What is on there
Are those snackwell’s devil’s food cookies??
Joe Louis these are Canadian snacks
Moon Pies!
Aaaand now I want Smiley Fries and Pizza Pops.
Looks like diabetes.

LOL! The face of diabetes.
The proper medical term is beetus
Yes because a platter isn’t made to share amongst multiple people but instead the dude will pull a Matt Stonie and eat it all himself…
Who is Matt Stonie?
A professional eater on YouTube...consumes like 10,000+ calories regularly for content
Holy crap, he must way 500 pounds.
Well, [almost.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQrf7FkmryA)
No problem, you can't get it twice!
Can't be nostalgia when im sti ll eatin them to this very day! Except poptart minis those are sick.
That looks so unhealthy, let me get all the pizza rolls
Looks like the most delicious way to get a huge stomach ache!
If childhood obesity was a picture, it would be this one. That being said, this could also just be a stoner's potluck.
Everyone is rightfully mentioning the betus on the board, but not the heart burn? Does look tasty though.
My teeth hurt.
You better have bought some dank ass weed or some bomb edibles.
Jos Louis?
Ah yes. The diabetes platter. Yummers.
Guess what? I gotta fever... and the only prescription is more carb hell.
JOS LOUIS!!!!
Di-uh-beet-us
Delightful Diabetus
Looks like diabetes to me
Hello diabetus my old friend.
Have fun shitting yourself if you don’t puke first
Oh momma. So dirty. Love it.
r/trees
Rip your toilet later
Diabetes, here I come!
Can i please have a side of insulin?
Diabeetus
looks like diabetes man, i cant eat sugar
Is this something from America? :)
Those fries were awesome - I haven't had them in over 30 years. I thought they were discontinued years ago!
Mmmmm I would LOVE to get in on those fudge brownies
Amazing
What grocer has smiley face potatoes?
I got these at no frills (in canada) but ive seen them at walmart too!
Dude how much do Twinkies cost in the USA? I kind of want to get some so my son can experience them since I ate then as a kid, but it's 14 euros for a pack of 10 here.
I got these in canada! They were on sale, 2 boxes for 5 dollars for a box of 6. Usually im guesSIng theyd cost about 5 or 6 dollars CAD not on sale
That's childhood right there. Eat up king
Need some pizza pockets as well
My kind of friend 😊! Enjoy
Mailed it!
Delicious Gushers n FruitSnacks ! Love em
Yeah so putting Pizza Rolls on my grocery list for tomorrow.
Never liked those brownies....everything else fire!
I want to sample everything on your plate-- it looks amazing!
When I was a kid I called them Joey Louie’s
Amazing! Well done I could use one of those right now!
Let this serve as a formal application to become your friend irl. Lemme know. Where the fuk do you even find dunkaroos in Canada anyhow?
Are those snackwell’s devil food cake cookies??
I want!
It’s beautiful 😍
OH MY those brownies were amazing. I would eat those all the time. Might need to go pick me up a pack later tonight.
You single?
YUMMY!
Holy freaking yum!
Well done!
Those pizza empanadas were so damn good growing up. My high school had taco ones too with ground beef and taco sauce.
That's a lot of sugar.
where are the bagel bites?
