I wasn't alive in the 70s, but I remember seeing them a bunch when I was a kid in the 80s. A lot of the time they were in cans labeled "peanut brittle," which I always thought was weird because to this day I have never once seen actual peanut brittle packaged in a can.

Yeah, I know I found them at my grand parents house, with my dad's sruff from the 70s. But the last time I saw one was then, in the 90s. Everyone probably threw them out when they got discovered that way with old stuff.

It wasn't the 90's.

I lived through the 90's and never once actually saw one of these. They were always in cartoons, though.

But at least you could still afford them in the 90s, and even have the money to electively buy snack sized cans of nuts in the first place.

Not sure how relevant this is to determining this. But Spongebob is from the late 90s and showcased them

I love that

I was delighted when he showed me Annie’s Boobs, but in a totally different way than I was expecting.

In 2000s a pack of gum could electrocute you.

Or turn your mouth black. Or burn like hellfire.

So true I miss that. Of course I was always a heavy sleeper so I missed most of the early early ones.

'can of snakes' is an old physical prank consisting of a spring loaded snake inside a can disguised as peanuts or candy.

THAT'S not an Australian joke... THIS is an Australian joke!
