When Stranger Things 5 dropped final week, there was lots to geek out about. The large Will reveal at the finish of episode 4. Seeing what Max is up to. Dustin being a normal badass. And while all that was great, I personally geeked out for one thing else. The return of a Eighties snack that almost all, besides me and the Duffer Brothers, had seemingly forgotten. A snack that, thanks to Stranger Things, is now again for a restricted time.
I’m speaking about Peanut Butter Boppers, the snack that Murray brings Steve in the first episode of the season, which then comes again later as nicely. Boppers, which are principally rice cereal and fudge wrapped round peanut butter, had been launched in 1985 and, according to a General Mills article, accounted for 9% of the total snack market in the first three months of launch. So, they had been fairly common for some time before being discontinued in 1989.
Now although, thanks to the inclusion in Stranger Issues, Nature Valley is re-releasing the snacks to followers. You may get a field for the cheeky (however very overpriced) sum of $19.87 at sreppob.com, which is “Boppers” spelled backwards. The corporate is additionally going to be freely giving bins and revealing a brand new recipe on the website, so head there for extra. Netflix’s official website also has some additional info.
Clearly, I ordered a field instantly as a result of, as a toddler of the Eighties, I cherished Peanut Butter Boppers. My mother purchased them for me all the time. Once they appeared in The Misplaced Boys, as a part of Grandpa’s particular shelf in the fridge, I felt like we had been kindred spirits. And whereas I don’t keep in mind precisely after they went away, I do keep in mind being very dissatisfied about it. However now, over 30 years later, thanks to the Duffer Brothers, I can take pleasure in these peanut butter snacks once more. And you may too.
