Remember when summers were all butterfly clips, rhinestone flip phones, and neon lip gloss? Y2K is back—and not just on the Met Gala red carpet. With the “Brat Summer” aesthetic taking over social feeds (shoutout to Charli XCX), 2000s style is having a serious moment.
But while we’re reliving our love for low-rise jeans and lime green everything, many of us are also chasing toddlers… and snacks. Lots of snacks.
So how do we channel that chaotic, colorful energy of the early 2000s—without handing our kids the same sugary snacks we grew up on?
Enter: Amara. The snack that gets it.
Snack Like It’s 2003... But Better
Back then:
-
Brightly colored snacks that turned your tongue blue
-
Artificial flavors, synthetic dyes, and sugar by the bucket
Now:
-
Organic Strawberry Fruit Bites, naturally colored with purple carrot
-
No added sugar, no preservatives, no junk
-
Real fruits + coconut milk in a fun, meltable shape
Same vibe. Smarter nutrition.
Toddlers Are Basically Y2K Icons

Bold, expressive outfits? ✅

Loud opinions and sparkly energy? ✅✅✅
