Chelsey, Alex, and Lauren Carlson tried out the snacks trends each decade had to offer.

In our Back in Time for Winter time-travelling experiment, the Carlson family had to live through six decades of Canadian winters — including hearty and somewhat experimental food! While we know there was no snacking in the '40s, the Carlson teens got to enjoy the tastes of snacks from the past such as cherry popcorn, hot pop (yes, warming up your carbonated beverages was a thing), curried nuts and giant cookies.

Watch Back in Time for Winter Thursdays at 8 p.m. (8:30NT) on CBC Television and CBC Gem.
