I get a box to eat around Christmas every year. it just feels right to eat them on a cold December afternoon with a can of easy cheese.

I think easy cheese has something in it where unless you were born in the seventies it tastes awful. I would bathe in it if I could, but many people have very strong negative opinions about it.

Rumor is the company that bought the original company stopped making them because they took longer to cook, or needed an extra step.  Ultra processed food isn't good enough.  We must have it done efficiently.

I worked at keebler when they had these. I was a rep and went in to grocery stores to fill product and order, setup displays and remove stale / out of date items. At least in my area none of keebler potatoe based snacked sold worth a damn and we had to write off a ton of product every few months. If on sale at a low price they did ok but not great. We were all very happy when they dropped the full line. I worked for them before and a little after United Biscuit, UK, sold them to Flours and a PE firm. As a business move it was a great deal for Flours UB sold it cheap as hell. US management fucked up trying to do a revamp of distribution and moving to a new ERP system. That system was SAP. This was in 95/98 time frame. Also competing with Nabisco, owed by RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company at the time and Frito Lay was a bitch as they threw money around like they printed it.

Tato Skins and Ecto Coolers were bomb. When Ecto Coolers came out, we had money and I was doing enough chores and working at our store to keep me flush with them (as well as selling candy at school). I had like 6 packs of those in my room almost at all times. It was those and Zebra Cakes. Those were amazing. I had a friend back in the day who had a completely dry house with snacks and sodas and shit and the rare time they got sodas, he had to ask permission. He'd come to my house and we'd drink Ecto coolers until we were turning green ourselves. Whenever he wanted soda, just go get it.

Cuz they’re made from potatoes and skins that are real.’ 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔 Reminds me of the Patton Oswalt bit how he says he can remember an ad song since he was a kid but can’t remember more practical information. “Ourisman Dodge, you can depend on Ourisman Dodge. Great name, great cars.” I first heard that when I was eight years old, and it’s been in my head perfectly since then. I’ve taken two infant CPR classes, I cannot remember whether I’m supposed to press on her chest first or blow into her mouth first. That can save my daughter’s life!

Aww, man. Just seeing this picture I can feel the potato skin laying on my tongue and absorbing all the salt and potato-y flavor. So good.

What happened to these? I remember thinking they were good, but then they disappeared from all the mainstream grocery stores

Tato Skins were so good. Also I must mention Combos, which doesn't get enough love. It is such an underrated snack that are so tasty and comes in a nice variety of flavors. I'm glad that they're still available for us.

Core memory unlocked. Totally forgot about these! Oooo, they were dee-lish. I remember eating these and a couple of Keebler Soft Batch cookies together. Why together, I've no idea.
