I feel like when most people think of 1990s food, they’re (accurately) picturing brightly-colored snacks and candy.

I’m also inclined to think that kids today are VERY aware of the 80s due to the popularity of the aesthetic and it feels weird that someone would assume we went “backwards” with candy like that

None of this is certain, of course. They could just be reminiscing about a time as a kid when they made candy with their family, too!
