Nostalgic snacks and sweets staple to the '90s lunchbox as BN biscuits make a comeback

‘Do doo do doo-do, BN BN’ - those that remember the annoyingly catchy theme tune of the BN biscuit advert in the 1990s will be pleased to know they're making a comeback this month.

The smiley biscuit - made up of two bases with a filling of either chocolate, vanilla or strawberry - was at the centre of many conspiracy theories and petitions when it was pulled from shelves in the early noughties.

They then returned in 2013 before another four-year hiatus.

Back in the day, they were one of the most coveted snacks at break time on the playground.

But what else was a staple to a '90s lunchbox?

Here, we take a look at the nostalgic sweets, chocolates, and drinks of the era that hold fond memories for many - some of which are still sold in stores today and online.

Dairylea as a cheese brand was born in the 1950s, and has continued to expand.

By 1996, they introduced their crispy breadstick and cheesy dip combos with Dairylea Dunkers and two years later, they launched their revolutionary DIY lunches with Dairylea Lunchables.

Kids could build their own crackers with mini squares of cheese and ham.

These days, they're branded as Dairylea Snackers, and come with a choice of chocolate buttons and Oreo biscuits.

These hard cola-flavoured sugary sweets were made by Bassetts and were a frequent purchase by corner-shop visitors.

They were popular in the 80s and 90s, but were discontinued in 2015.

You can still get your hands on Fudge chocolate bars, but they were definitely more popular in the 90s.

Chomp isn't readily available in supermarkets, but the 25p bars with a chewy caramel centre are available online.

Both are slim, small bars, but pack a punch.
