Man, I love potato skin snacks, in large part because they were always a rarity in my life growing up. We were a Pringles family. Not that I'm complaining.
Insane how Keebler went from being such a major market share player to barely there in just a few years. As a Xennial Keebler sweet and salty snacks were an integral part of my late 80s/early 90s childhood. And I always thought their products were better quality than the other national brands.
"The column confirmed that the O’Boises name was a direct reference to Boise, Idaho’s capital, and that the chips were manufactured from one hundred percent Idaho potatoes." Plus the fact that the common Americanism "Oh, boy!" sounded a lot like the capital's name...
Neither Keebler nor Eagle was a presence during my youth in Canada at this time- they must have felt that our domestic brands had the place sewn up. So my exposure to both brands was limited to American TV ads-the animated elves for Keebler, and Tony Randall and Jack Klugman pitching for Eagle.
I know we have the Friday's potato skins, which I think are pretty good, but have you ever come across an O'Boise knockoff? Prinlges has its imitators (Good Chip Co) so surely someone has to have though of a way to bring back O'Boises, maybe not on the national level though?

I remember these very well, they were awesome!

They used to make a version in the late 90s. I haven't seen anything like them, but I am always looking for them.
