Oh really? I've seen them in any place that sells candy. You might just have to order them online though.

Highly recommend. 10/10. Life changing

Between here and dead chat I need to start making a list of the foods I've never tried before lol

Yeah I remember in the mid 90’s I got a bag of each and tried them all side by side. Peanut butter ones were pretty good.

If you end up at tufts next year, I will personally hand deliver some to your mailbox lol

 

[sunshinefl]

Well now you've gone and told everyone where my stash is

I hear they’ll hatch with 100 watt bulbs

I'm pretty sure I'm ending up at Cornell but this is a really nice gesture

 

[supershorty]

But we never got the answer to whether they would with 40W...

Mid 90s?!
I wasn't even alive then
Why was I thinking you were younger than that

 

[sunshinefl]

For me, the candy epiphany was discovering they have cinnamon chips (like chocolate chips but cinnamon instead). There's a recipe with oatmeal cookies I put them in and I love them. Screw raisins.

For some reason this is the exact kind of cookie I could see you making

 

[supershorty]

Oh snap @Zenge142 April calling you old AF

 

[Animal Midwife]

Yeah. You notice all the REAL edible fruits retain their name when dehydrated?

Dried pears? Pretty decent.
Dried apples? Sure.
Dried blueberries? Absolutely!
Dried grapes? 404 Error. Have some nasty raisin byproducts instead.

 

[Zenge142]

I mean I was like 5 or 6 when this happened.

What are your thoughts on prunes?

Alcohol is doing me no social limiting favors lol

Hasn't AM been playing this game for years
Confusion

I still have the sleeping bag my parents bought for me when they were prepping lol

Can someone explain why there was a panic

She was a child prodigy who escaped the soviet bloc to the US on a WW grant for her playing skills....don’t quote me on that though.

I'm pretty sure this is 100% accurate

 

[Animal Midwife]

Old people food.

 

[Zenge142]

Long story short, computers at the time weren’t programmed to be able to handle the rollover into the year 2000, so most computers would have just crashed and not come back.

They fixed it though.

 

[supershorty]

Old people food.

Where do they rank relative to raisins?

 

[Aprilthearab]

But... Why were sleeping bags needed??

 

[supershorty]

Y'all stop cares reacting to me and Dina being 90s kids like it makes us geriatrics or something, jaysus

 

[Zenge142]

Accurate.

What about dates?

My parents were into conspiracy theories, so my memories are a little more panic-inducing than this explanation

I just felt bad for assuming everyone's ages wrong lol

 

[Animal Midwife]

AM is not going to be the baby for much longer

Next year my manatee's finally gonna be younger than me. I feel it...

 

[Aprilthearab]

All I remember is the 2012 end of the world thing

Yeah I was really enjoying this conversation and now I'm not so sure I belong

Spoiler

 

[Zenge142]

But... Why were sleeping bags needed??

Like ALL computers. The ones controlling the power grid, all the banking systems, the nuclear weapons. Everything.

Like, welcome back to the Stone Age humanity, have fun! That was the concern anyway.

Right there with you.

Are you younger than me?

Honestly, looking back, that's kinda hilarious but I'm sure it wasn't for the people involved

Like did no one think they could just maybe re-program the computers?

WW paved my transition period into adulthood.

 

[Zenge142]

Like did no one think they could just maybe re-program the computers?

I mean that’s what they did, but there was an enormous amount of work behind the scenes to make it happen, and people were concerned it might not have been enough and there still would be issues.

Mostly passed unnoticed though.

Omg you are all children...this explains so much...

80s babies shout out

 

[Animal Midwife]

Where do they rank relative to raisins?

Much easier to avoid, so one point for that. Ultimately, just as disappointing to bite into. I don't even like plums though so that may be a stronger factor.

 

[Animal Midwife]

Okay, me not liking plums at all isn't 100% a total truth, I guess. As a kid, I liked throwing fallen rotten plums from the tree to stain the sidewalk.

 

[Zenge142]

Did you make a lot of progress or....

 

[Animal Midwife]

Accurate.

What about dates?

I don't think I've actually had those. The appearance reminds me a lot of prunes and raisins though so it makes me apprehensive.

 

[supershorty]

Now she throws them at people.
