The inventor of Totino’s Pizza Rolls, Jeno Paulucci, sold his business to Pillsbury in the late 1980s for a sum near $140 million, The Washington Post says. Paulucci’s microwavable pizza bites took over the eighties and remained popular well into the nineties. I remember being so anxious to eat pizza rolls, I didn’t wait for them to cool down before popping them in my mouth.
The pasta salad was new and different with tri-color noodles in unusual shapes. Mixing the noodles with salad dressing mix made the dish a big hit. Add olives or cheese cubes and you were the best cook.
I remember fighting with my siblings over the last packet of Dunk-A-Roos. They were always one of the first snacks to be eaten after grocery shopping. The frosting and cookie combo made these the best snack. Dunking a kangaroo-shaped cookie into confetti or fudge frosting made the snack fun.
Opening your lunchbox and finding a Lunchable was like hitting the jackpot. Making your own pizza or assembling crackers and cheese was an acceptable way to play with your food. Lunchables have gone down in popularity but they can still be found at grocery stores.
Who could forget about kids opening cookies jar wondering where all the cookies had gone in Hershey’s Cookies ‘n Cream commercial?
The combination was different from any other candy bar on the market. The sweetness of the cream and crunch of the cookies made the candy bar irresistible.
