> [@terentii](#): > > Are the cheese balls in #2 really made by the Putz Company? I believe that is Utz, a company that now seems to be just another big producer but which I recall from my childhood over 50 years ago as something rather special - my parents would buy large tins of Utz potato chips or pretzels from time to time, declaring them a little expensive, a little hard to find, but The Best. I had thought they were a small Pennsylvania-based, family-owned company (explaining the limited supply), and perhaps at the time they were, or maybe as a five-year-old I just had no idea. But if they once were a boutique operation, they’ve clearly outgrown their homey roots. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > Ruffles Sour Cream & Onion Potato Chips I have never been addicted to any substance, to my knowledge, but to me these are like crack (and the Pringles are bad, too). Pretty much any potato chip, but especially kettle-style chips (and Pringles). ---

Kettle brand potato chips. Especially the big bags with Himalayan pink salt they sell at Costco. And chili dogs. ---

And of course, you peel off the Sno-Ball icing igloo and eat it separately, right? ---

No, thats just for Oreos. Sno-balls i eat as they are. For Oreos, I eat them that way because i am not fond of the cream filling, but love the cookie part. But for Sno-balls, i enjoy all of it. ---

I haven’t bought or eaten a Sno-Ball in many decades (not that I wouldn’t eat a few right now if they magically appeared in my house), but as a kid, I liked to carefully peel off the igloo and then stand it up by itself and stare at it while I ate the chocolate innards. It wasn’t about taste. I did it just 'cause I could. ---
