Who wants some Cheese Balls?
Remember Planters Cheez Balls? They are coming back
A popular '90s snack is about to make a comeback.
The Kraft Heinz Company confirmed it will relaunch Planters Cheez Balls and Cheez Curls for a limited time, starting in July.

They have definitely been around longer than the 90s. It was either the late 70s or early 80s, my sister and I had a can of these and were munching on them during a road trip across Texas and in one of those stories that go down in family lore as to when my sister threw up bright orange in the city of Orange, Texas from eating those things as a kid.

I love these!!!!!!!!!
Agree, they were around in the 80sthats when most of my snack-eating childhood was. They tend to come up in those, Why did they ever stop making those? conversations with people of similar age, tooI guess enough people missed them to warrant bringing them back.
They had other snacks in that line, too, including Cheeto-like cheese crunchies, but the cheese balls were always the best.
They better still be packaging them in the traditional blue cylinders, too.

I won't buy them to try, but suspect that they won't be as good as my memory of the ones I consumed in my misspent youth. Yes, in some cases they solved the post-indulgence "munchie crisis."
I guess the closest readily available substitute would the puffed Cheetos.
While we're on the topic, I'm not sure if these were regional, but the cheeze snacks I still crave were fake cheetos that came in a black and orange bag, can't remember the name for the life of me. I'm sure they're long gone.
