Epic Win: Tato Skins

Feb. 11, 2010

Submitted by Stephen G, who has a light side and a dark side.

So, they’re chips, right? But what sets them apart from other deliciously salty treats is A) their cutesy name and B) the fact that they’re made to look like potatoes, with a dark side (the skin) and a light side (the inside). Tato Skins were introduced in the late ’80s. I’m not sure if you can still find them in some places, but I’ve never seen them in stock anywhere.

Make sure when you find those Tato Skins to pick up some delicious canned pasta too.

Epic Win: The Wendy’s Superbar

Feb. 10, 2010

Submitted by Stephen G, in the mood for everything…like Al.

Because when I think of delicious fast food, I think of salad bars! I particularly enjoy the alliteration employed in this advertisement: Selena’s salad, Frank’s fettucini…I mean, WOW! However, I hope selecting food to match your first initial wasn’t a strictly enforced rule when eating at the Superbar. Otherwise, I might have just skipped the whole thing and ordered a hamburger (they didn’t offer the spicy chicken sandwich then, unfortunately).

Submitted by Amber H, caramel-coated.

We could all sit here and chat about how we loved to rip open a box of Cracker Jack and munch down the caramel-coated popcorn and nuts. But let’s be honest: We really only cared about the prize hidden somewhere in the sugary goodness.

Just what every video gamer needed: video game cereal. I wish I could still find this stuff.

Epic Win: Caramel Apple Pops

caramel apple pops

Submitted by Justin V, who’s got a little something stuck in his teeth.

I will admit that these things are pretty tasty, but there are few things in this world that are worse when it comes to sugary gunk getting stuck in your teeth. Especially if you, like me, end up biting into the lollipop before properly finishing. Caramel Apple Pops, manufactured by Tootsie Roll Industries, were introduced in 1995 and are still sold today. So go get yourself some cavities!
