‘Stranger Things’ Stars Share the Snacks That Bring Back On-Set Memories

Finn Wolfhard and Natalia Dyer got nostalgic about their time on Stranger Things while making pizza together.

The actors spoke with New York Times Cooking in a video shared on social media on December 30, just one day before the show’s final episode premiered on Netflix.

When fans asked about foods that bring back memories from the set, Wolfhard, 23, shared his favorites. “So many,” he said, “doughnuts and chicken wings.” Dyer, 30, added that she loved the chocolate chip cookies provided by catering.

Wolfhard joked about how the cast started out trying to eat healthy but eventually indulged. “It always starts off, like, healthy, and people try, and then by like month six, it’s like, ‘Here’s your Danimal,’” he said.

Wolfhard also recalled a funny story from when he was 13. During Lent, he told a crew member he was giving up sugar. Their response? “Bull****.” Just half an hour later, he admits he was sneaking sour Skittles.

The actors’ memories give fans a peek behind the scenes and show the small, everyday moments that made filming Stranger Things special.

It’s always fun to see stars share these personal stories. Snacks, silly rules, and little jokes on set clearly made a lasting impression on Wolfhard and Dyer. What foods or moments do you remember most from your favorite shows? Share your thoughts in the comments.
