SnackWells

Who remembers SnackWells from the “all fats are bad” phase in the 90s? Did you eat them regularly?

Sold from 1992 to 2022, they gave rise to the term “SnackWell effect”—the tendency for people to overeat them compared to regular treats simply because they were perceived as “healthy.” Interestingly, 1992 was also the year the US adopted the controversial Food Pyramid.
