Crystal Pepsi

Big Ed’s Super Saucer

They were at least twice as big as the current brands (the most prominent being ugh Nestlé) of pre-made ice cream cookie sandwiches, and were only around a dollar or two. Not to mention 10 times tastier.

I miss them. I miss them so fucking much… 😖

Learning how they operated the business while trying to figure out why they suddenly stopped being sold around me, it makes sense. They just relied on word of mouth while also changing the areas they serviced making it difficult to actually acquire product.

Lots of chip flavors. In the UK and probably other countries Frito-Lay makes a Thai Sweet Chili kettle chip under the Sensations sub-brand. They sold it in the U.S. too but dropped the whole Sensations line after the corn chip side did not do well at the same time as Sun Chips were growing (used the same production lines). Hal’s of New York does a really good version of this but I only see them at one hotel I often stop at in Albany.

Later they had a white cheddar and cracked peppercorn flavor, also a kettle chip but with a cut that made it more like Ruffles. Fantastic chip, but gone.

When I was a kid I remember a brand called O’Boise’s. I think it was connected to Keebler. The sour cream and onion was really good. Schlotzsky’s sour cream and onion chips are extremely similar.

Panera used to use chips from a brand called Krunchers. Panera only had the plain kettle chips, but in grocery stores they had a lot of good flavors. Haven’t seen those in years. Now Panera’s chips are private labeled, but taste the same.
