Did You Also Feel This Way as a Child?
Note: Due to the excessive realism of this article, it may cause slight discomfort.
A few days ago, I went to a street market and saw a stall selling nostalgic snacks, which immediately triggered my memories of childhood snacks. Among them, the most worth mentioning are those 'operations' we did when eating snacks.Everyone come and see if you can find your shadow in this wave of nostalgia.
Dada Roll, a product of Arrow Company, belongs to the luxury version of Big Bubble Gum. A roll of pink bubble gum spirals like a ruler inside a circular box. Back then, compared to paper-wrapped bubble gum costing a few cents, Dada Roll was considered a high-end snack, so I ate it like this:
Every time I bought a new box, I couldn't resist pulling out the entire Dada Roll from the box, then stacking it up layer by layer, unwilling to eat it, and then unrolled it again. I repeated this operation until the bubble gum was almost black or broken, then reluctantly ate it.
Beijing Mapo Instant Noodle
Beijing instant noodles are still my number one in the instant noodle world today. Nowadays, instant noodles all come with vegetable packages, seasoning packages, and sauce packages. But Beijing instant noodles remain unchanged, consistently offering just noodles and chili powder for decades.
When I was a child, Beijing instant noodles cost 50 cents a package. When I brought them home, I usually ate them dry. First, I put the instant noodles under my butt (without opening the package), then I moved them back and forth with my butt, crushing them, and then opened the packaging to pour chili powder into the bag, shaking it, and then enjoy the deliciousness.
Don't ask me why I would use my hands to crush the instant noodles; it's a mystery.
Every time I finished the last bit, I would pour it into my hands and shake it back and forth to remove excess chili powder (otherwise it would be too salty), then I would quickly put it in my mouth.
Three-Color Ice Cream
This is the ice cream I loved most when I was a child, without a doubt. It's like the picture, but the workmanship was far from as delicate back then; it was wrapped in packaging similar to Wan Fang Chun, so you can imagine it yourself.
No matter what ice cream or ice cream I eat, my eating habits are the same: I lick with my tongue, mouth xue, but I never bite. I lick the ice cream around the edges until it flows down, leaving a sticky mess on my hands (merging my hands would create a sticky sensation). My tongue is also stained with color, but I still enjoy it.
Ooh-Ooh Ya Ya Candy
When I was a child, I thought this candy was really delicious, Ooh-Ooh is milk flavor, Ya Ya is coffee flavor. A bag cost only 50 cents, and it lasted a long time.
I never chewed or bit into the candy when I ate it; I just held it in my mouth, continuously sucking on it. Until there was only a thin piece left, I didn't bite it, and I kept it on my upper lip, licking it with my tongue until the candy was completely melted.
After eating the candy, I never threw away the packaging. I used scissors to cut out the whole Ooh-Ooh big rooster and Ya Ya big monkey and stick them on books, walls, and everywhere.
