Children’s Day wasn’t just about fancy parties or school events, it was about the simple joys that made our childhood unforgettable. One major part of that joy? Snacks.
Whether it was a treat after school or something you bought secretly during break time, these snacks were a big deal. Here’s a delicious trip down memory lane:
Goody Goody
The chewy chocolate that made us feel rich. If you had more than one, you were automatically a big boy or girl in class.
Fan Yogo (in sachet)
That pink frozen yogurt was gold. You’d bite the edge of the sachet and slurp away. Chilling it before eating? That was pro level.
Tom Tom & Baba Dudu
Tom Tom was the official “mouth-freshener” sweet, but Baba Dudu? That one tested your teeth! Sticky, smoky, and totally addictive.
Nasco Wafers / Speedy Biscuits
Nasco biscuits were a staple in every child’s snack bag. Some people crushed them into garri, others just munched straight. Speedy biscuits too tiny but mighty.
Kulikuli & Ekana Gowon
Snacks from the roadside that slapped every time. Crunchy, spicy kulikuli or hard, sweet coconut balls that stuck to your teeth both were unforgettable.
Choco Milo & Cowbell Sachets
Some of us ate Choco Milo and dry Cowbell like it was candy. Tear the sachet, lick your finger, and dip. Pure childhood bliss.
Yoghurt in Nylon
You’d find this frozen in the cooler of your local “Aboki” or Mama at the corner shop. Thick, sweet, and cheap. You didn’t need Danone or Hollandia to feel fancy.
These snacks weren’t just food, they were memories. They remind us of school break times, after-school hangouts, and a time when ₦10 could actually fill your stomach.
Happy Children’s Day!
