those Hy-Vee wavy cut potato chips used to come in a big bag that had two brown bags inside of it? I'd stab someone in the eye for a bag of those and some AE Mexican dip right now. Last time I was in Iowa I had the Hy Vee wavy chips, but they just ain't the same. My guess is they went to a different manufacturer to make the private label chips. I wonder if the ones they used to sell were Old Dutch and they changed to Frito Lay or some other company?

They don’t come like that no more....for a while now. Can’t you order AE dip online?

There's no way you could be craving them if they used to be made by Old Dutch.

Okay, that chip/dip craving has passed. Last night I was hit with a craving for those Brach's Neapolitan Sundae candies. They don't make them anymore.
I gained 21 pounds between T-giving and the bar exam, so I am on a major cut right now and am having pregnant woman type cravings. They usually last for about 4-5 days until my stomach capacity shrinks after I get into a cut. My buddy wants to do a full day Appalachian Trail hike with our sons in May so I gotta shed some weight fast.

I have also found a few sources for old stock product if you are interested in some 7 year old candy.

When I lived away from Iowa, found that you can order Sterzings by the case.

It doesn't list shipping costs for America. $2.83 per pound scares me. A lot.

For all the shit candy that has survived, it is a fucking miracle of corporate incompetence that Brach's ran itself out of business. Some fucking numbskull put Europeans in charge of the company in the mid '90's and by 2003 the thing sold for $1 plus assumption of $16 million debt. What an absolute clusterfuck. Brach's. For $1.

Crazy shit though. Who owns it now? It looks like in the ultimate twist of fate, Ferrara (which when I was a kid made the distinctly lower tier products like Lemonheads, Boston Beans, Red Hots and Atomic Fireballs) has slowly amassed a massive portfolio of candies including Brachs. Ferrara is out of Oakbrook Terrace, IL. I knew Brach's was in trouble when they blew up its old HQ to film a fucking Batman movie, but I didn't know it was that bad.
