1985 – 1989 RARE REVIVALS

A peanut butter snack bar from the middle of the '80s, in Fudge Chip, Honey Crisp and Peanut Crunch. It left with no explanation, and it took a TV show set in the '80s to bring it back for a moment.

🧾 One more thingGeneral Mills says Boppers took 9 percent of the wholesome snack market in their first 90 days, citing a 1986 ad. The 2025 return was sold only at sreppob.com, which is "boppers" backward, as a $19.87 kit with a shirt.
