There’s nothing like the satisfying ‘crunch’ of breaking a large sugared Wang Wang Snow Cracker in half, to share with your BFF.

Now you can relive those carefree days of yore with this hilariously realistic case for Airpods.
We’ve also trawled online shopping sites to bring you a few nostalgic snacks that have taken on a new lease of life as a snug case for your precious earphones.
We love the attention to detail for the cracker case’s design, with icing sugar bits pooled and spread around evenly on the surface.
Cracking open the biscuit case will show you exactly how 2 Airpods will fit snugly within the synthetic silicone casing.
The flipside of the cracker, however, doesn’t share the same icing details. Although this would have been cool, the choice resembles the OG cracker 100%.
The case’s opening for the Airpods’ charging outlet is hidden below the edge of the cracker. Centred along the base, so it appears barely visible from the front.
Parents whose children have grown out of sugared treats, can definitely consider this more useful & lasting throwback alternative as a gift.
Of course, we didn’t stop the nostalgic snack hunt there. We uncovered other realistic recreations of 90s-era snacks as Airpods cases easily, with a quick search on Taobao.
Behold, a nugget and dipping sauce pairing, throwing us instantly back to our Happy Meal days.

We absolutely adore the Nissin cup noodle case — designed after the most solid snacc between meals, especially on days when OT is required.

The best part of these cases are that their listed prices hover between S$3.05 (¥15.80) and S$7.71 (¥40), so they’re extremely affordable — at least based on this Tmall listing at the time of writing.
Shipping costs to Singapore can be calculated on Taobao directly once you’ve checked out your items, but expect an additional S$5-7 since the goods aren’t too heavy.

With this major throwback, we can’t wait to see what other popular childhood snacks will be turned into merch. Our friends over at ZULA have covered BBT airpods here in greater detail.
Perhaps an iced gem cookie, haw flakes or White Rabbit sweets next? This way, we’ll get to enjoy our ear candy, without suffering from the guilt of any calories.
We’d love to hear what treat you would like to see as a case too. Sound out in the comments below.
