There were lots of great snacks in the 90's that are now gone. I remember we used to buy instant oatmeal that came with these little flavored syrup packets you would mix into the oatmeal. I always loved those as a kid. Oreo O's cereal was also quite delicious. And I'm still bitter about the loss of Dunkaroos.

Oreo Cereal is back as well.

The proper spelling is "cheez," not to be confused with actual cheese. The distinction is important!

Well, some of us had our intake of them being controlled by our parents, so they would last for a while!

I suspect they are terrible if theyre stale, as that big CRUNCH feeling/sound is part of the experience.

Sometimes, we weren't permitted to finish the entire tub.

Well, some of us were already adults (or close to it) and making up for past parental deprivation.

I would agree, but my parents assured me it was not. Now, if my parents were not at my grandparents' house, then we could eat as many as we wanted.

So, anyone manage to actually get any?

Supposedly the the only vendors are Amazon (sold out) and Walmart (not an option), but Ive read theyre available elsewhereI just havent actually seen any. (Not at Safeway, for instance.)

Where have you spotted/purchased them?
