Eagle brand snacks. An Anheuser-Busch thing, these chips and pretzels were great. The business was sold to Frito Lay, I think, sometime in the mid to late 90's, but the chips were the best. They were kind of like kettle cooked, and it seemed like the whole bag was made up of the folded and brown kind (my favorite)

"Chipnics"... a late 1960's pre-Pringle and Muncho processed potato chip... came in a box... I'd eat a full box watching the Detroit Tigers every Saturday during the 1968 season...

Some that I would like to see brought back are the keebler pizzaria chips and most definitely the tostito salsa and cream cheese flavored chips.

There also used to be a candy that was powdered and came in fruit shaped containers and the shape of the fruit was the flavor it was. I probably wouldn't like them much now but I loved them as a kid.

The cookies and cream twix was pretty tasty too.

Frogger you can still buy Zero Candy Bars and our Wal-Marts here in Huntsville, AL, sell Tahitian Treat (in cans). I absolutely love Tahitian Treat drinks when it is hot outside and you drink down a cold one.

Check out places like Dollar General, Family Dollar, and Dollar Tree for Zero candy bars.

Good luck

Yes keebler tater skins are still available they are my husbands favorite chip.

The mention of Fritos made me remember a flavor of Fritos that was ranch tho i don't remember the exact name of them they were great.

Also I dont know aobut anywhere else but we used to have all kinds of flavors of corn nuts like nacho cheese and ranch which were my favorite but it seems like all I can find anymore are the bbq and original
