As kids, sugary snacks and candy were nice after-school treats or enjoyable little nibbles reserved for special occasions.

The commercials and advertisements may also be completely different than they once were, complete with new or updated mascots.&nbsp;But there are <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/90s-snacks-you-can-still-buy/collin-flatt">some goodies</a> from our past that really don't look that different now than they did years - or even decades - ago. Their mascots have remained familiar figures that are just as comforting now as they used to be.&nbsp;We were surprised how many of our favorite <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/candy-myths/lauren-glen">candies and snack</a> foods mascots have really stood the test of time. We almost didn't notice the change in some of them! Take a look for yourself and vote up the mascots that have changed the least.&nbsp;

Halloween is different as an adult. No matter how much you love the day or the season, you have to admit that the magic of celebration has changed. No longer do you dress up in costume to go trick-or-treating with your friends, get into mischief, nor sort through the mysterious trove of candies you have collected. Instead, you’re at home watching a horror movie you’ve watched twenty times before, waiting for the doorbell to ring so you can pretend to be impressed by a kid in the same Iron Man costume you’ve seen four other times that same night, then hand out candy you bought with your own money. It’s just not the same.But there are things we hold onto. Figuratively, we tend to hold onto the love of certain candies we find especially delicious or give us a sense of nostalgia for a long-gone era. Literally, we hold onto the certain candies we love for ourselves rather than handing them out. Even if we’ve sworn off candy, on Halloween night we find ourselves picking out <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-halloween-candy">those favorite few</a> and soon enough we’ve hoarded and eaten them all.So, adults who have now been relegated to handing out candy rather than receiving it on Halloween, which candies do you always find yourself holding onto rather than handing out to the costumed children knocking on your front door?

List of the most delicious ice cream flavors, ranked by eaters everywhere. Whether you like the fancy flavors like Ben &amp; Jerry&#39;s or the classic varieties like plain old vanilla and chocolate, the best ice cream flavors are certainly a matter of taste, and a delicious dilemma as well. Even more delicious than the endless debate over <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-ice-cream-toppings/carlybobarly" target="_blank">the best ice cream toppings</a>. Almost everyone loves ice cream, especially on a hot day, but one thing we can&#39;t seem to agree on is which flavor is best.

Ice cream dates back to the Persian Empire where grape juice was poured over snow and enjoyed. Fast forward a few thousand years and the same basic idea continues except with frozen flavored dairy. Initially, ice cream was pretty vanilla, with many varieties limited to one flavor, often fruit.

Thankfully, recently ice cream has evolved to include advanced flavorings like that of chocolate chip cookie dough, rocky road and strawberry cheesecake. Ice cream has also become quite gourmet, especially in New England, with the likes of Edy&#39;s, Ben &amp; Jerry&#39;s and even Starbucks getting into the industry.

Though ice cream has come a long way since the grape juice and snow days, classic flavors still remain available to those who enjoy them. So what&#39;s the best ice cream flavor on the market? That&#39;s up to you to decide. Tell us ice cream lovers, which is the best. Vote for your favorite frozen flavors below!

I'm Lovin' It

McDonald's

List of international <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-mcdonalds-menu-items/ranker-food" target="_blank">McDonald&#39;s menu items</a> you won&#39;t find in the U.S. This list includes weird, delicious, gross, and unusual McDonald&#39;s menu items from all around the world. If you have traveled internationally and visited a McDonald&#39;s abroad, you may have noted that while some of the menu items in McDonald&#39;s in other countries are similar to U.S. items, there are many McDonald&#39;s items that you have never seen before. You can see the items in video form <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeajfFfdyj4" target="_blank">here</a>.

Why is McDonald&#39;s menu different in other countries? It&#39;s simple: they want to sell their food in those countries and people around the world have different tastes and cultural customs that allow them to enjoy some fast food over others.&nbsp;The fast food masterminds behind the McDonald&#39;s empire are smart. 

For example,&nbsp;because cows are generally not consumed in India, there are no menu items made from beef on the Indian menu. Instead, they serve up paneer (a popular South Asian cheese) and chicken-based menu items that are seasoned with masala and cumin and topped with mint mayonaise (a sauce similar to India&#39;s popular mint yogurt sauce). They also serve plenty of vegetarian McDonald&#39;s foods. It&#39;s a perfect example of how McDonald&#39;s uses regional spices and food preferences and adapts those to their international McDonald&#39;s menus.&nbsp;

While McDonald&#39;s abroad locations adapt their flavors and ingredients to please local flavor palettes, they don&#39;t take this too far. Often, McDonald&#39;s in other countries will take local favorites and fuse them with classic McDonald&#39;s dishes and come up with weird McDonald&#39;s menu items in other countries. What are some of the weirdest international fast food items? &quot;Los Beefos&quot;--meatballs covered in crunchy breading from German McDonald&#39;s and &quot;Bubar Ayam&quot;--rice porridge topped with chicken strips from Malaysian McDonald&#39;s is also pretty unusual. Menu items that fuse local fare with traditional McDonald&#39;s flavors (like fried breading and chicken strips) do this because people who come to McDonald&#39;s still want the &quot;Western food experience&quot; when they eat foods they are used to. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Next time you go to Micky D&#39;s and order your same old Big Mac, chicken nuggets or <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-french-fries?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">french fries</a> you can be happy (or sad, depending on your taste) to know that in other countries they are eating Chicken Maharaja Macs, McPatatas and Spinach and&nbsp;Parmesan&nbsp;Nuggets rather than your favorite McD&#39;s items. You can take comfort in knowing that there are plenty of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/mcdonald_s-secret-menu-items/secret-menu-items">McDonald&#39;s secret menu items</a> if you want to mix it up. &nbsp;

Here is a peak at the best-looking and most unique McDonald&#39;s menu items from around the world. Vote on which items look the best to you!
