I remember that great jungle they used for their earlier attempt to take on Doritos, the Sunchero. So catchy, I still remember it after all these years.
If you liked Chacho’s Cinnamon Crispana, you might wanna try Orion brand's Choco Churro Turtle Chips (also flour-based, not corn). They are starting to show up in mainstream grocers in Seattle, but are also found at World Market, and many Asian supermarkets.
A description: "A beloved South Korean snack, Orion's sweet Turtle Chips are unique, four-layer crisps covered with chocolate and cinnamon-infused churro seasoning. Named for their turtle shell shape, these richly textured multi-layer chips create the experience of eating four churro-style chips at once with every sweet, crunchy bite. An instant hit in South Korea as soon as they were released, Turtle Chips have become an international snack sensation."
I was of cognizant age at the time these were marketed (8-11), but recall absolutely none of this! Of course, that likely boils down to having little to no say in the grocery purchases of my moderately-poor family at the time. In related news, that Cinemax trivia contest has made me aware of a Steven Seagal movie I'd never heard of (the heavyhanded environmental message is PURE 90s).
Exotic variant flavors of highly established brands are things I usually go for. But I don't think Keebler was much of a player in the Canadian market then, or ever.
The problem is that we have a very small population compared to the U.S. and the big U.S. brands control so much of the market. Smaller Canadian firms can’t compete with them, so you have to come here to experience the best ones yourself.
The cinnamon variety was awesome. I vaguely remember Taco Bell serving similar cinnamon-sugar chips for a while.
Yes! Cinnamon is the perfect flavor for a dessert chip.
The *Keebleros*--Mexican cousin elves--were rounded up and deported by immigration long ago.

They made some interesting things. I know a bunch of Canadian snack products I wish had made it over the border.
