If you were a child in the 90s or the early 2000s, the fun part of school was the cheap afterschool snacks. They cost kobos and remained at ₦5 for a long time.
Children these days will never know what it means to buy cheap snacks. Nowadays, biscuits cost at least ₦50 and juice boxes are about ₦100.
Here are some of the old school snacks we ate:
This chocolate biscuit is unforgettable. I almost got whooped for leaving the house without telling my mother I went to buy it.
Speedy was that snack everyone rushed to buy during break time. Maybe the best thing about it was the ball-shaped biscuits which I loved to play with before eating.
Okin biscuits is also an OG in the world of biscuits.
Coconut was just like speedy, but it has a vanilla taste. It was one of my favourites.
This tastes delicious and became very popular.
Goody goody was so uncommon, but whenever you found it, you felt like you were taking the best chocolate in the world. It cost ₦10 then, we used to think it was expensive.
These dry biscuits were for school, especially boarding school, and taste best when taken with chocolate tea.
This was in the same category as Coconut and Speedy.
This was the cheap version of M&Ms.
These were nothing like Mcvities digestive biscuits.
