When Stranger Things 5 premiered last week, fans had plenty to celebrate. From the important revelation about Will in episode four to Max’s journey and Dustin’s heroic moments, there was so much to discuss. However, what really caught my attention was the nostalgic return of a beloved 1980s snack that many, apart from myself and the Duffer Brothers, had mostly forgotten. Thanks to Stranger Things, this snack has made a limited comeback.
I’m talking about Peanut Butter Boppers, the treat that Murray hands to Steve in the season’s first episode. These delightful snacks, which consist of rice cereal and fudge wrapped around peanut butter, first hit the market in 1985. According to a General Mills article, they captured about 9% of the entire snack market shortly after their release, proving they were quite popular before vanishing in 1989.
Thanks to their feature in Stranger Things, Nature Valley is reviving these snacks for nostalgic fans. You can grab a box for the slightly pricey sum of $19.87 (approximately €18) at sreppob.com, which is “Boppers” spelled backward. The site is also offering giveaways and sharing a new recipe, so it’s definitely worth checking out. For even more details, Netflix’s official site has some additional insights.
As a child of the 1980s, I immediately ordered a box because I absolutely loved Peanut Butter Boppers. My mom used to buy them regularly. When they made an appearance in The Lost Boys on Grandpa’s special shelf in the fridge, I felt an instant connection. Although I can’t pinpoint when they disappeared from the shelves, I vividly remember the disappointment it brought me. Now, over three decades later, thanks to the Duffer Brothers, I can once again indulge in those peanut butter treats. And you can relive those moments too.
