. What’s Brandt, the boy who fumbled in a closet with Anna and Maya Ishii-Peters eating at the pool party? An entire bag of Hot Cheetos — the snack for kids that want to show they can handle spice.
No episode captures the power behind kid snacks better than episode four, in which Maura, an image-obsessed girl who peppers her sentences with the word “fool,” literally buys people’s adoration by handing out Ring Pops at school. Later, she seals Maya and Anna’s friendship with a visit to her home pantry, which is neatly organized with packs of iconic millennial snacks like Pop-Tarts, Gushers, Squeezeits, Hi-C, and Pringles.
Maura’s mother wanders into the kitchen and offers the girls drinks, listing from a fridge filled with Yoplait and Capri Suns. Maya blurts, “Yes.” She and Anna each take three bottles of Powerade. The best friends are so mesmerized by the choices that they overlook the extremely rude interaction Maura has with her mother, and turn their gaze to the crystal jars on the counter filled with jawbreakers, a candy that I probably haven’t thought about since I was 13.
