‘Supergirl’: All the Trailer Easter Eggs You Missed

The trailer for the new Supergirl movie begins with a shot of the Sun, which is significant for a couple of reasons. First, Kryptonians like Supergirl and Superman gain their powers from solar energy. Second, this imagery directly references the source material – the comic book Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Evely – where the Sun is a key element of the story.

The new Supergirl trailer is packed with hidden references and details for DC Comics fans! Our latest video breaks down all the Easter eggs, including connections to Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, how Supergirl’s origin story differs from Superman’s, and the role of Argo City in this classic DC tale. You might have missed these subtle nods on your first watch!

’80s Foods We Wish They Still Made

Bonkers

Bonkers was a popular, chewy fruit candy throughout the 1980s, famous for its bizarre commercials. These ads featured a woman with glasses correcting common misunderstandings about the candy (like, it wasn’t gum!) while giant fruits rained down, often on her family. Despite its popularity throughout the decade, Bonkers quickly lost customers and production stopped altogether after just a few years. Common flavors included grape, strawberry, and watermelon – my favorite! The watermelon Bonkers were especially clever, with a green outside and a chewy red inside.

C-3PO’s

If you grew up with the original Star Wars movies, you probably remember this cereal! C-3POs cereal came out with Return of the Jedi in the mid-1980s and was quite popular. The cereal itself wasn’t anything special – just plain oat, wheat, and corn pieces – and didn’t really look like anything from Star Wars. But the boxes were a big deal! Kids loved collecting the character masks on the back, wearing them as costumes, and often leaving the cereal uneaten in the pantry for months.

Disney Pops

Mickey Mouse ice cream bars are a timeless favorite at Disney Parks and in stores everywhere. But back in the 1980s, you could also find Disney-themed popsicles! These fruit-flavored treats came in grape, cherry, and orange, and were shaped like Mickey, Donald, or Goofy. It’s a mystery why they stopped making them, especially since people still love both Disney and popsicles! I’d love to have a grape-flavored Donald Duck popsicle right now.

Ecto Cooler

When it comes to movies and food, Ecto Cooler is a classic. This bright green, citrus-flavored drink first came out in the late 1980s to coincide with the popular Ghostbusters cartoon. Even after the cartoon and Ghostbusters movies ended, Hi-C continued to make Ecto Cooler until the early 2000s. It’s made several comebacks since then, usually around new Ghostbusters releases. People still love it so much that when it’s available for a limited time, bottles often get resold for surprisingly high prices – sometimes for dozens, even hundreds, of dollars! That’s a little spooky, isn’t it?

Five Alive

If you weren’t a fan of Hi-C Ecto Cooler, another citrus drink option was Five Alive. Its name came from the five different juices it contained: orange, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, and lime. Five Alive was discontinued in the US in the 1990s, but you can still find it in Canada. If anyone travels to Canada, I’d love a carton of Five Alive!

Fruit Corners Fruit Bars

When Fruit Roll-Ups became popular in the early 1980s, it kicked off a huge trend for fruit snacks throughout the decade. Fruit Corners, the company that made Roll-Ups, and other brands all rushed to profit from this new market for what seemed like healthy junk food for kids.

Having grown up during this time and tried them all, I think Fruit Corners Fruit Bars were the best. They took the idea of a Roll-Up and made it in the shape of a granola bar. The original flavors were strawberry, cherry, grape, and orange-pineapple, and I’ve been searching for something that tastes like those cherry bars ever since! (The That’s It Apple and Cherry bars you can find in stores today are actually a pretty good match.)

Fruit Wrinkles

Fruit Wrinkles were a fruit snack similar to Roll-Ups and Fruit Bars, but shaped more like jelly beans. Ads highlighted that they had more fruit and less sugar than other snacks. However, as fruit snacks started coming in more elaborate shapes based on popular kids’ movies and shows, simpler snacks like Fruit Wrinkles lost their appeal and eventually disappeared from store shelves.

Giggles

Oreos dominate the sandwich cookie market today, with a huge variety of flavors – honestly, sometimes too many! But things were different in the 1980s. Giggles cookies were a major competitor, offering a unique twist: they had both chocolate and vanilla creme filling, plus a cheerful smiley face on top (available in vanilla or chocolate). Considering Oreo releases around 60 new flavors every week, it’s surprising they haven’t tried a vanilla and chocolate combination – it’s a really good idea!

Hostess Pudding Pies

Hostess is still a major player in the snack world, famous for treats like Twinkies, Ding Dongs, and Ho Hos. They continue to make fruit pies, but their popular pudding pies from the 1980s – available in vanilla and chocolate – are now hard to find.

One reason the pudding pies disappeared is likely their high fat and unhealthy ingredients. Even today’s apple pies aren’t exactly health food; Hostess states a single cherry pie contains eight grams of saturated fat and 25 grams of added sugar – half of your daily recommended intake. But let’s be honest, they tasted amazing, so maybe health wasn’t the biggest concern!

Jell-O Pudding Pops

Pudding was incredibly popular in the 1980s – it seemed like people couldn’t get enough of it! Beyond traditional cups and pies, it even came in frozen pop form. Jell-O heavily promoted their Pudding Pops, which came in flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and swirl, and were famously advertised by Bill Cosby. (Those commercials still hold up!) Jell-O reportedly sold $100 million worth of Pudding Pops in one year, but eventually, demand faded and the product was discontinued.

Kudos

Do you remember Kudos bars? They were hugely popular in the 1980s, originally available in flavors like Chocolate Chip, Nutty Fudge, and Peanut Butter. Made by Mars, they were a tasty mix between a healthy granola bar and a candy bar. Many people loved them, and they stayed in stores until the 2010s, when they were unfortunately discontinued.

Mr. T Cereal

In the mid-1980s, Mr. T was a huge pop culture icon, largely thanks to his roles in Rocky III and The A-Team. He was instantly recognizable with his mohawk, denim clothing, and lots of gold chains. His popularity with kids led to a strange animated TV show where he played a gymnastics coach who also solved mysteries. From 1984 to 1993, Mr. T’s face was on boxes of a popular Quaker cereal shaped like the letter ‘T’ and made from corn and oats. The cereal even appeared in the opening scene of Tim Burton’s Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, further solidifying its place in pop culture history.

O’Grady’s Chips

O’Grady’s was a potato chip brand that disappeared during the competitive 1980s. They marketed themselves as having thicker-cut chips with a bolder cheese flavor. Fans especially loved their Au Gratin flavor, claiming it was much better and cheesier than anything available now.

Peanut Butter Boppers

One Reddit user perfectly described why people loved Boppers: “They were like granola bars, but with all the best parts and none of the grainy texture.” As a peanut butter enthusiast, they still wish Boppers were available! Many others agree – these crunchy, peanut butter-filled bars deserve a comeback. While the original maker, Nature Valley, doesn’t currently sell them, they do offer a recipe on their website for those who want to try making them at home.

Product 19

Product 19, easily recognized by its red box and mysterious name (said to be because it was the 19th recipe Kellogg’s tested), was a popular cereal throughout the 1980s and 90s. Kellogg’s marketed it in the 80s with the unusual claim that it was highly nutritious, despite not tasting like it. While people once might have chosen cereal for health reasons, that time has passed, and Product 19 was discontinued in 2016.

Quackers

For generations, kids have loved the satisfying crunch and cheesy flavor of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers. In the 1980s, Nabisco tried to challenge Goldfish with a similar snack called Quackers, which were shaped like ducks and had a comparable cheese taste (and a surprisingly tasty sour cream and onion variety!). However, Quackers didn’t last long, and Goldfish remained the dominant snack.

Slice

As a soda fanatic, I’ve always found Pepsi’s constant attempts to challenge Sprite fascinating. They keep launching new lemon-lime options! Right now it’s Starry, but before that there was Sierra Mist, and even before that, Slice – which itself replaced a soda called Teem. Slice actually got interesting for a bit, adding flavors like Mandarin Orange and, honestly, not enough apple soda ever! When Slice first came out, Pepsi really pushed the fact that it had 10% real fruit juice, positioning it as a more natural choice. That worked for a while, but eventually they changed the recipe and reduced the juice content. Slice limped along through the ’90s with different packaging and marketing, until Sierra Mist eventually took its place in the early 2000s.

Sunkist Fun Fruits

Still reminiscing about old fruit snacks? Here’s another one! Sunkist Fun Fruits were about the same size and shape as Wrinkles, and came in cherry, orange, strawberry, and grape flavors. Interestingly, even though they were called Sunkist, they weren’t actually made by the Sunkist company. Instead, a company called Leaf Confections licensed the Sunkist name to make them seem more authentically fruity. (Today’s Sunkist Fruit Snacks are made by General Mills.)

Tato Skins

While many potato chip brands exist, Tato Skins, made by Keebler in the 1980s, were unique. They were made with whole potatoes, including the skins, to mimic the taste of a baked potato. The flavors included Original, Sour Cream & Chives, Cheddar & Bacon, and Bar-B-Que. Today, you can find a similar snack called TGI Fridays Potato Skins Snacks, but fans of the original Tato Skins insist they don’t quite measure up.

WWF Superstars of Wrestling Bars

During the 1980s, when wrestling was incredibly popular thanks to stars like Hulk Hogan, WWF Superstars Ice Cream Bars were created to appeal to young fans. These treats were vanilla ice cream between cookies, with a chocolate layer and pictures of wrestlers like “Macho Man” Randy Savage and Ted DiBiase on top.

Even though they were designed to take advantage of wrestling’s popularity on TV, the ice cream bars were actually delicious and continued to be made even after wrestling’s initial boom faded in the early 1990s. Nostalgia for the original bars led to a brief revival in 2020 with Good Humor’s “WWE Super Stars,” featuring modern wrestlers like John Cena and Roman Reigns on vanilla ice cream sandwiches. While these new bars were good, they weren’t available in stores for nearly as long as the original WWF ones.
