Pepperidge Farm
Important Note: Over the years, there have been as many as 53 Goldfish flavors, but comprehensive documentation with specific dates is not available from Pepperidge Farm's public records.
When Margaret Rudkin introduced Swiss Goldfish crackers to America in 1962, Smoky Goldfish was one of the original five that started it all.
This smoky flavor featured the authentic wood-fire taste that made snackers dream of backyard barbecues and campfire memories. The Smoky Goldfish delivered that distinctive charred essence that brings us back nostalgically to those summer nights with family and friends.
The original Barbecue Goldfish was another founding member of the 1962 launch lineup, serving up tangy-sweet BBQ vibes before anyone knew what a "flavor profile" was.
Unlike today's barbecue snacks, these Barbecue Goldfish captured that classic American cookout spirit in every tiny, fish-shaped bite. They were discontinued sometime in the decades that followed, making way for other flavors.
The Pizza Goldfish is both discontinued and still available, depending on how you look at it.
The original 1962 Pizza Goldfish was crafted with a distinct seasoning blend compared to today's version. Modern taste-testers describe the current pizza variety as heavy on tomato paste and celery seed, but the original Pizza Goldfish likely had its own unique pizza flavor that our tastebuds will never experience again.
Long before Goldfish Grahams became a thing, Vanilla Goldfish Cookies were Pepperidge Farm's first venture into the sweeter side of life.
Not technically crackers. They were actual cookies shaped like the iconic fish, delivering vanilla flavor in that familiar form factor. The Vanilla Goldfish Cookies were an early experiment in brand extension, testing whether the goldfish shape could work beyond savory snacking.
These paved the way for today's successful Goldfish Grahams line.
The Chocolate Goldfish Cookies were an even sweeter sibling to the vanilla variety, bringing cocoa richness to the fish-shaped format.
Although the cookies have since been discontinued, Chocolate Goldfish Cookies have shown such staying power that they've occasionally resurfaced in 100-calorie packs. Proof that some flavors refuse to stay buried. These chocolate treats demonstrated that the goldfish shape could work across flavor categories, not just cheese and crackers.
What if Goldfish weren't crispy crackers but airy, puffy snacks instead?
This spinoff line took the beloved fish shape and gave it a completely different mouthfeel. Goldfish Puffs were Pepperidge Farm's attempt to compete in the puffed snack category while maintaining their iconic branding.
When Campbell's (Goldfish's parent company) decided to put Goldfish-Shaped Noodles in Tomato Soup—it became the perfect crossover.
Not crackers floating in soup. These were actual pasta shaped like tiny Goldfish, swimming in Campbell's signature tomato base. One devoted fan remembered: "I grew up on this... it was my favorite soup and I can't find it anymore."
Epic Crunch Ranch was part of Goldfish's exploration into bold, crossover flavors that pushed beyond traditional cheese territory.
This limited edition brought together the beloved Goldfish format with America's favorite dressing. Epic Crunch Ranch represented the brand's willingness to experiment with trending tastes and collaborate with popular flavor profiles.
But it was only a Limited Edition Goldfish. Gone too soon in our opinion.
Old Bay Seasoned Crackers brought Maryland's iconic seafood seasoning to Goldfish. A match that seemed destined for greatness.
This regional collaboration gave Old Bay Seasoned Crackers a devoted following, especially in the Mid-Atlantic, where Old Bay is practically a food group. The pairing of fish-shaped crackers with seafood seasoning was culinary poetry.
Sour Slammin' Cream and Onion Flavor Blasted met an abrupt end during the 2018 salmonella recall that shook the Goldfish world.
Part of the bold Flavor Blasted line, these Sour Slammin' Cream and Onion crackers packed an intense punch of tangy, savory flavor. Their discontinuation wasn't due to a lack of popularity. They were contaminated with whey powder and forced Pepperidge Farm to pull them from the shelves permanently.
Safety first.
