June 27, 20187 yr But not for long, apparently. I loved these as a kid & will be stocking up. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/nation-now/2018/06/26/planters-cheez-balls-and-cheez-curls-coming-back/735424002/
June 27, 20187 yr In elementary school I'd pound an entire can of those in one sitting. Unrelated: In elementary school I was overweight
June 27, 20187 yr Author My grandma always had three things at her house for us at all times: Planters Cheez Balls, Klondike Ice Cream Bars, and Vernor's ginger ale. My mom hated us having any of those. Coincidence? Absolutely none. I have a massive soft spot for all three. Edited June 27, 20187 yr by Dutch

June 29, 20187 yr They're really good, but I won't need to buy them. BTW, those things are only like 150 calories for about 30 (the longer cheese puffs about 150 calories for 15). I've eaten them every lunch almost for the last 15 months and lost 50 pounds doing it.

July 2, 20187 yr I remember these things, I remember them being good, and I remember crushing a ton of them when I was a kid. But I don't remember there being anything special enough about them to get excited about this for some reason. Especially in a world in which the product that phdhorn posted exists.
July 2, 20187 yr I remember grandma breaking these out on special occasions and telling us kids to save some for the guests. We ate them all anyways.

Since then, there have been all manner of cheesy poof balls sold and they're all pretty damned good. At one time, there were Cheetos fried (normal ones) and baked (more like these, but still turd shaped). Like all things baked rather than fried, there was less fat in them. Also, the balls had a different taste and mouth feel that make these things almost a whole other food from fried Cheetos. Baked Cheetos disappeared for a long time, but surely they are back with baked everything else. I won't buy them (let the wife buy them) because they're so fucking good. I only get Sun Chips :/.

Nostalgia mostly, but they were the best ever. Bringing Utz into the conversation should be a bannable offense. You get a shitload of nasty product. Never had the HEB brand so I can’t comment on those. Planters made the cheese balls/doodles that other companies strived to replicate but never could. I ordered a case of each for a July 18 delivery. If they have a limited run if Hi-C Ecto Cooler too, I may need new underwear...a size bigger.

Just quoting twice talking about the mouthfeel if balls.So they gonna have these at HEB or what?
July 3, 20187 yr Whatever happened to all the Frito Lay products that caused anal seepage? I just wanted to say “anal seepage.”

October 10, 20187 yr Author Some people have reviewed the new version as not as good as they remembered. Some people don’t know what they’re talking about. These are damn good, as they always were. Accept no substitute: the OG is still running the streets.
October 11, 20187 yr I always figured someone should make a straw specifically sized for cheese balls so you could suck them straight up out of the package without getting your fingers all cheesy. But then you wouldn't get to lick them clean.
October 11, 20187 yr Is putting your lips around a large straw and sucking on balls something you want to do? I'm not judging, just trying to understand your thinking.

I knew a guy in college that would buy clear plastic barrels full of the knock off version from Sam's Club. 5-6 guys drinking beer and playing cards could put a dent in those sumbitches.

October 11, 20187 yr Case arrived this week for me. They are as delicious as I remember. The Utz are just not as good for some reason.

October 11, 20187 yr The Utz aren't as good as Planters (they have less external coating), but they were still good. Especially for the cost.
October 12, 20187 yr On 10/11/2018 at 9:36 AM, Your Mom said: Y'all are all terrible people. I'm a junkfood fiend but them things are nasty. Yes. Almost as bad as Cheetos. The Pepsi of the Chip world. Doritos still king
October 13, 20187 yr I don't even consider cheetos and cheese balls to be chips. Maybe more like crackers? Totally different classification, IMO.
