After the collapse of the USSR, imported snacks, bouillon cubes and instant drinks poured into the country. We also learned the taste of hamburgers and chocolate bars. No benefit, of course. But we were happy as children! He talks about his favorite delicacies of the 90s Lisa.

The main thing is soft!

The unusually soft texture of Rama margarine became a real discovery for us in those hungry years. Thanks to TV ads, we believed that this is the real butter. And that is exactly how - slightly salty - it should taste. And in round jars from under the "Frame" it was convenient to store every little thing.

Would you like some tea?

Tea Pickwick is remembered not only for the ad with a teapot in the form of a huge strawberry. Before that, tea was only loose, but here it is such a miracle: you want with raspberries, you want with currants or strawberries!

The era of hamburgers. Start

The first McDonald's in Moscow opened in 1990. On the first day, the restaurant served more than 30 thousand visitors - a record in the history of the brand. The hamburger cost as much as 1,5 rubles (8-9 loaves of bread). But McDuck was an opportunity to see another world, where everything is beautiful, clean, where everyone is smiling at you. They took away cardboard cups as a souvenir.

Don't slow down!

Do you remember your first Snickers? An expensive bar sometimes had to be cut into small pieces for all family members to taste. How delicious it was!

Cubes into broth

The composition of the cubes "Galina Blanca" included a whole army of flavor enhancers and flavorings. But with them, the thinnest soup turned into a fragrant and rich one. Or did it just seem to us?

Just add water

Instant drinks "Invite", "Yupi" and "Zuko" were wildly popular. Yes, only water was natural in their composition, to which the powder was added. But thanks to these drinks, we first heard about overseas fruits like papaya and passionfruit. And even got the opportunity to "try" them.

Banana paradise

In the 90s, we lined up for immature bananasbrought from friendly countries. And they were snapping up packages of dried bananas with might and main. They tasted just like furious sweetness. Remember those?

Crunchy you are mine

You used to come back from class, make yourself noodles "Doshirak" or "Mivina" - and the world is beautiful again! You want it - with the taste of chicken, you want - beef or shrimp. And if you are too lazy to brew, then you can simply crunch with dry vermicelli. Well, it was the same, right? By the way, “Doshirak” noodles first entered the Russian market under the name “Dosirak”. But fortunately, they quickly abandoned the dissonant name.

Have you collected inserts?

Chewing gum The 90s were very popular with children: each of them had an insert, which the students carefully pasted into the album with their collection. The most popular were "Turbo" and "BomBibom" with images of cars and the iconic "Love is ...". It was a real love story in pictures!

Tell me, uncle, it's not for nothing ...

In the early 1990s, we learned the taste of Uncle Ben's products. Not only sauces were in demand, but also rice, mashed potatoes and soups from the brand. By the early 2000s, Uncle Ben's began to roll off store shelves - just cheaper counterparts appeared.

What instead of a crab?

Crab sticks, which appeared in the mid-90s, immediately fell in love with many for their unusual pleasant taste. The only pity is that apart from the name, this product does not associate anything with crabs. The main ingredient is surimi (as the Japanese call minced ocean white fish). Plus a set of flavor enhancers, dyes and other additives.

The taste of victory

"Hershey Cola" is a more unfortunate name, it would seem, and difficult to come up with. But this did not stop the Dutch drink from gaining frenzied popularity on the Russian market. True, not for long. Already in the mid-90s "Hershey" was ousted by American competitors "Coca Cola" and "PepsiCo".
