The 80's snack that you should never eat again, says science

It was so not cool - for your health, that is to say.


If youRemember the 80s As the decade was only yesterday, images of big hair, neon spandex and the massif of the music of a boombox come to mind. And then there was food, of course. The 80s were indeed a much simpler moment, soIn the process of reducing processed foods (Hello bagel cocks, colored fruit snacks and toaster fats!) The norm was the norm.

Now, however, you are probably much more aware that all these treats were not necessarily the healthiest. DUH!

But which snack of the 80sreally was the worst heap? (Although if you appreciate this journey in memory, go ahead and check these15 classical American desserts that deserve a return.) Well, it's nothing but. . .

Oreo Big Stuf

Oh, the memories showed us now, is not it?The jingle for these jumbo cookies was pretty catchy, after all.

In 1984, Nabisco introduced Oreo Big Stuf, "The Big Oreo-Go". He promised to deliver "more chocolate and more cream" than the original Oreo. Cookies were individually wrapped, which makes them easy to grab on your chimney.

But between the mouths of the good cake, as you sat on your sofa looking atAnd. trying to call at home, you may not have realized thatfat These cookies were actually. In fact, a cookie was three inches in diameter. Yes, like the same size as a hockey washer! He timed at 316 calories and also contained 13 grams of fat. For reference, a portion of ordinary Oréos (which is 3 cookies) is 160 calories and 7 grams of fat.

Yikes!

Oreo Big Stuf has had its moment in the sun for a few years until 1991, as it is when the snack has been abandoned.Yet still that day, there remains a mystery as to exactly why The popular biscuits suddenly wiped up shelves.He was suspected, however, that the snack has disappeared partly because ofThe 1980 Dietary Directives of the USDA for Americans. They called to reduce fat, sugar and general caloric intake in order to, you know, be in good health. Clearly, these cookies would not help not achieve their health goals!

It is not a secret that eats a high calorie snack as an edge that is charged with grease and sugar anddevoid of nutrients like fiber will cause you in youfeel hungry earlier than later. Most important,Eat rich fiber foodsincludingsnacks, can actually help a person to live longer,as a study found. It is alsobeen proved that those who eatUltra-transformed foods finally eatFollowing calories and gainFollowing Weight, compared to people who eat a minimally transformed diet.

While Oreo Big Stuf cookies are not currently available, you can buyOreo Mega Stuf. Two of these cookies enter 180 calories, 9 grams of fat and 17 grams of sugar. Not as intense as the legendary Big Stuf, but not much better than the version of the 80s. So not rad.

It is obvious that the Oreo Big Stuf cookies earn the title of the worst of the 80s. They are (unfortunately) better to stay in a distant memory!
