OBOISES!!!!!!!!!!

Sour cream and onion

[-]

Express-Structure480@reddit

First time I ever had sour cream and onion was oboises, instant love. The only thing that has come close has been ruffles.

[-]

BreckyMcGee@reddit

Soooo good. I forgot all about these until this post and now I am full of nostalgia

[-]

Super_Direction498@reddit

We called my great grandma Ol' Tater Skins can I bring her back instead

[-]

augustwest30@reddit

Of course! Tato Skins got baked potato appeal because they’re made from potatoes and skins that are real!

[-]

ExtinctionBurst76@reddit

Cheddar cheese and bacon Sour cream and chive Tasty baked potato you won’t believe your eyes!

[-]

CensoryDeprivation@reddit

It’s not even close. They were so addictive.

[-]

Harbinger_Pulsar@reddit

Cuz they're made with skins that are real.

[-]

Pumperkin@reddit

O'boises are oboisterous my ass. They fuckin suck in comparison.

[-]

AngleFreeIT_com@reddit

I ate the crap out of these things. Wonder if this might be a “they’re the same but have different names east/west of the Mississippi” thing.

[-]

Usagi_Shinobi@reddit

No, tato skins were very close to Pringles in texture, while the O'Boisies had a texture similar to a water cracker.

[-]

mtbguy1981@reddit

Not even close to what I remember. Tato skins were quite thick and crunchy.

[-]

TheLastBlakist@reddit

Agree wholeheartedly. Tato Skins and it ain't even a contest.

[-]

PiperPeraboo@reddit

The current TGI Fridays potato chips are very similar, if anyone needs their fix

[-]

Sanchastayswoke@reddit

I honestly think they are the same thing just rebranded

[-]

SnittingNexttoBorpo@reddit

I feel like the TGI Friday’s ones are just a little harder/less crispy, but it could just be I’m remembering the originals too fondly.

[-]

Edie_@reddit

They are in fact the same recipe. "Keebler sold Tato Skins to Inventure Foods, which then partnered with TGI Fridays to reboot the snack in 2000"

[-]

I was gonna say...Every dollar store I've ever been in has bags of TGI Friday's potato skins chips, and as far as I can tell it's the exact same product in a different package. I still get them from time to time.

[-]

fidgetypenguin123@reddit

I haven't lived near a TGI Fridays in like 20 yrs and this is making me miss it.

[-]

Purple-Protagonist@reddit

You can get those chips at Walmart

[-]

fidgetypenguin123@reddit

Oh I thought they meant at the actual restaurant. Didn't know they sell it that way. Still would be nice to go to one again someday lol

[-]

littleyellowbike@reddit

They're pretty easy to find in convenience stores, too. They're one of my go-to roadtrip snacks.

They’re like 3.50 at normal stores, I found them at dollar tree for 1.35.

[-]

Ltimbo@reddit

Came here to say this. I would be surprised if TGI Fridays didn’t buy it from them.

[-]

Vitaminpk@reddit

They bought the rights to the Tato Skins if I recall.

[-]

robbeau11@reddit

They’re so good!!!

[-]

Coakis@reddit

I was about say Tato skins still exist. Just a different brand.

[-]

Hilsam_Adent@reddit

Tato Skins were vastly superior.

Cheddar Cheese and Bacon, Sour Cream and Chives... Baked potato flavor, you won't believe your eyes!

[-]

AnimatronicCouch@reddit

They’ve got baked potato appeal!

[-]

larryb78@reddit (OP)

‘Cause they’re made with potatoes and skins that are real!

Kyle did you start a cult?

[-]

SRCinSLC@reddit

I think it goes…baked potato, barbecue, you won’t believe your eyes. My god how did we remember that jingle?

[-]

Hilsam_Adent@reddit

Song was catchy as all hell.

There wasn't a barbecue one, or at least not in the initial release. Looked it up on the ol' YouTube, the lyrics are ..."tasty baked potato", not "baked potato flavor".

[-]

SpaceLemur34@reddit

I also remember the "baked potato, barbecue" line, so it must have existed at some point.

[-]

Hilsam_Adent@reddit

Now I'm interested to see if BBQ is Mandela Effect or if the song was revised later. Rabbit hole time.

[-]

SpaceLemur34@reddit

BBQ was real.

[-]

Hilsam_Adent@reddit

Oh, I remember the chips, I just didn't remember them being added to the song. Thanks for finding it, I was having trouble. Google/YouTube were hiding it from me so I'd look like an asshole.

[-]

SRCinSLC@reddit

Hahaha!

[-]

SRCinSLC@reddit

Hmmm.

[-]

Glass-Marionberry321@reddit

But the other chip had, "O'Boisies are oboisterous!" Jingle for their commercials

[-]

krissym99@reddit

We had the best commercials growing up.

[-]

aakaase@reddit

Omg. Memory unlocked

[-]

Hilsam_Adent@reddit

It was catchy, too, but not on the same level as Tato Skins'. And Tato Skins' blew O'Boises out of the water when it came to flavor.

[-]

SplakyD@reddit

God, that was great advertising for a great product.

[-]

SRCinSLC@reddit

Aah. It was a clever tune. And they were the bomb snack. Simpler times, huh?

[-]

Hilsam_Adent@reddit

Well, we don't have to worry about it being "fifteen minutes to midnight" anymore, but yeah, much simpler. And yes, the sour cream and onion ones, in particular, rocked my socks off.

[-]

SpaceLemur34@reddit

It runs through my head at least once a month.

Tato skins! So much crunch and flavor powder 🤤

[-]

Manck0@reddit

Tato Skins. They were the motherfucking shit.

Sorry I don't usually get so enthusiastic, but my Dad used to buy Tato Skins and on the days we were with him we would eat them and drink cold sun tea after school and watch, i dunno, Turkey Television or whatever.

Brings back good memories. But then, O'Boisies WERE O'Boisterous. But I'm going with the Baked Potato Appeal.

[-]

BillTheConqueror@reddit

My dad owned a small chain of gas station / convenience stores when I was growing up. Now I’m missing these with a bottle of NuGrape.

O’Boisies.

Tato Skins! My sister and I would grab a bag of these and split it when we were kids.

[-]

nin4nin@reddit

I can hear the jingles in my head like it was yesterday. Tato Skins FTW!

[-]

Future_Way5516@reddit

I'm ok with either

[-]

JJStray@reddit

In the early 2000s I was a sales manager at a telemarking place. I’d get a bag of Tato skins from the vending machine at work like every night.

One day this girl that I kinda had a crush on brought me in a case of those things. We ended up having a really fun summer together after she quit a few days later. It was frowned upon to fuck the reps lol.

[-]

FancyFrosting6@reddit

A Tato Skins love connection lol

[-]

jockfist5000@reddit

Tato Skins got that baked potato appeal but oboises are oboisterous. Tough call.

[-]

FancyFrosting6@reddit

I agree- l'm having a hard time deciding especially since it's just very old memories of taste and crunch etc. But the memories say- both these were unbelievably good.

[-]

lacosaknitstra@reddit

Holy shit, I haven’t heard “oboisterous” since I was a kid. Just had a flashback of the commercial.

[-]

Not_So_Bad_Andy@reddit

Tato Skins win. After all they're made with potatoes and skins that are real.

jockfist5000@reddit
