May 9, 20223 yr Speaking of noshing on croutons. I remember back in the late 70’s, early 80’s, the first croutons we had at home came in a can with a mix of other flavorings like bacon bits, dried onions, cheese, herbs and spices, etc. There were several varieties. The can was like a mini Pringles can and the croutons were relatively small. I was trying to remember what those were called. I was thinking “Salad Fixins” but scouring the internet I couldn’t come up with anything. I tried a variety of search terms on several search engines and YouTube. “Salad Toppers,” “Salad Shakers,” etc. Finally I hit paydirt. It was “Salad Crispins” and apparently they still make them. I could only find one small pic of what those old cans looked like from some old ad being sold on eBay, but those are what I remember, there on the right. That’s where I got my start munching on croutons all by themselves. And here’s what they look like now:

May 9, 20223 yr Oh btw, there is a product called Salad Fixins’ (with a misplaced apostrophe). That doesn’t look particularly appealing to me. It looks like a sorry attempt at trail mix. But chances are that if you put it in front of me, I’d eat some.
July 20, 20223 yr Fuck, just found these, only $7 at Costco. Now I need a Braum's run for vanilla ice cream.
July 22, 20223 yr As a ice cream aficionado, below are the best I have found in a long time at the grocery store.

August 12, 20223 yr Watched History Channel show Foods That Built America few months ago. In 20’s Frito guys had a corn puff that never sold. Fast forward to WW2 and Fritos gets DOD contract cause high calorie and Fritos don’t spoil. End of WW2 they get call from DOD and DOD wants to unload shitload of cheese powder.

I'm pretty sure i saw an episode of that show that was about either the puffs or the crunchy started as a way to make corn meal pieces for feed lots that was for cows that didn't take off, and that was what prompted them to change it to make snacks for people. Cheese flavor separate.

Amen.And while “healthier” versions of such items are often shit, the “lightly salted” version is likewise glorious, and helpful for those of us cutting back on salt. I mean, eating a big ass bowl of them probably defeats all benefit, but still….

August 12, 20223 yr Plain Fritos are one of the most delicious God damn things on the planet. I have lived places where the chili cheese Fritos are the best TexMex item for 1000 miles. Likewise in those places (Portland Oregon looking at your bland ass face) it can be an amazing thing to introduce Texas things to them. I took a pot of chili to work for the crew. Brought a case of Fritos and showed them how to make Frito pies with cheese and onions. They were blowed away.

I mean, eating a big ass bowl of them probably defeats all benefit, but still…. i actually prefer the lightly salted version of things nowadays. and some of the parbaked then fried kettle chips are better than the fully fried versions (more potato flavor, imo). for some reason there's not a lightly salted, parbaked then fried version.

January 14, 20232 yr I know these aren’t the same as way back in the day, but found them in the wild earlier. Ain’t mad at it.
January 14, 20232 yr Every time I start to think plain Fritos are best Fritos I get a bag of the chili cheese Fritos and am quickly reminded who the goat is.

Walmart still lists the product on its website, you just can’t buy it. I wish I would’ve come across this tweet when I was searching last spring:
