Screaming Yellow Zonkers

I used to always see them at A&P (may it rest in peace) and Target.

These were my favorite yellow popcorn. Even better than Fiddle Faddle and Cracker Jack because they didn't come with nuts.

They were sadly discontinued in the 2000s.

R.I.P. SYZ

Man seeing SYZ mentioned here is a real blast from the past, lol. Reminds me of all the other snacks we used to have. Anyone remember those Altoid Sours? They were SO good. Wonder which snack's gonna be the next casualty of the discontinuation trend...

SYZ were such a guilty pleasure of mine before I went vegan! They had this irresistible taste unlike any other popcorn on the market. Does anyone know if they were accidentally vegan? Kinda hope they bring them back with a plant-based recipe!

For those true Zonkers aficionados, I've been working on a homemade SYZ recipe that's pretty darn close to the original. It's all about finding the right balance of that sweet coating without overwhelming the popcorn. I'm happy to share the recipe if anyone's interested!

SYZ? More like Screaming Yellow Nasties. Seriously, who misses those? Might as well lick a stick of butter and call it a day. 😂

Screaming Yellow whatsits? Never heard of em. I'm still mourning the loss of my beloved Jell-O Pudding Pops. Find it hard to keep up with all these snacks from yesteryear. Why's everything gotta go away?

Honestly, as much as I loved SYZ, they were a heart attack in a box. Tasty, sure, but soooo much sugar. Probably for the best that they're discontinued lol. Has anyone found a healthier alternative that doesn't scrimp on taste?

Did you know that SYZ were one of the first snacks to have really crazy, outlandish packaging? It was pretty revolutionary for its time. And the popcorn itself was amazing. I've heard rumors about them coming back in some limited capacity, but nothing concrete. If anyone finds a snack that's even remotely close, let me know!

Ah, Screaming Yellow Zonkers, what a throwback! Totally remember those being the bee's knees when it came to snack time. There was something about that buttery glaze... Wish they'd bring 'em back. Great, now I'm craving them at 1am... 😭
