As a kid, you probably had a favorite snack food, but chances are as an adults you’ve had a nearly impossible finding said snack at one point or another.
Case in point? We relocated less than a week after we graduated from college. In college, we’ll admit to eating way too many potato chips while working on papers and projects. Was it the potato chips we loved? Nah. They were just the vehicle for the French onion dip we grew up with, a brand name called “Heluva Good!” Feeling homesick and seeking some comfort food, we searched everywhere for it, but it was nowhere to be found 15 years ago.

Flash forward to this football season. We’re listening to one of the last away games of the year on the radio and it seems like every single commercial break they’re playing a commercial for that particular dip. By the third time we heard the commercial we shouted, “BUT YOU CAN’T EVEN FIND IT HERE!”
We stand corrected. We’re not sure when they FINALLY started carrying the dip but it’s now magically on the shelves at our local superstore. We just bought a container of it this week.

Frito-Lay makes some of the most popular snacks in America, and it seems that every year, they introduce new twists on their top brands that feature unique flavors.
It can be fun to venture out of your comfort zone and try new things and those new things can sometimes become new favorites. However, there is no guarantee that the new snacks will stick around for very long, which can be disappointing.
Perhaps if fans of snacks being discontinued protest, Frito-Lay will change its mind.
