Separately, Jeno Paulucci developed a series of food businesses starting in the late 1940s, including the Chun King line of Chinese foods.[3] After selling Chun King in 1966, he founded Jeno’s Inc. in 1968, where cook and product developer Beatrice Ojakangas developed Pizza Rolls,[4][5] a type of egg roll filled with pizza ingredients. The first pizza roll flavor was cheese.[3] In 1985, Paulucci sold his Jeno’s Pizza Rolls brand to Pillsbury for $135 million.[6]

The Jeno’s line of pizza rolls was rebranded as Totino’s in 1993.

Thanks Beatrice, aka “Scandinavian Julia Child”, still alive at 90: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatrice_Ojakangas

We used to get our school lunch pizza from Jenos since they were made just across the bridge.

TiL Pizza rolls have been around since 1977! That’s just amazing. I’m going to need to add pizza rolls to my next grocery run

A Fry Daddy implies both a Fry Baby and a Fry Mommy.
