Til https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totino%27s

Separately, Jeno Paulucci developed a series of food businesses starting in the late 1940s, including the Chun King line of Chinese foods.[3] After selling Chun King in 1966, he founded Jeno's Inc. in 1968, where cook and product developer Beatrice Ojakangas developed Pizza Rolls,[4][5] a type of egg roll filled with pizza ingredients. The first pizza roll flavor was cheese.[3] In 1985, Paulucci sold his Jeno's Pizza Rolls brand to Pillsbury for $135 million.[6]

The Jeno's line of pizza rolls was rebranded as Totino's in 1993.

Thanks Beatrice, aka "Scandinavian Julia Child", still alive at 90: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatrice_Ojakangas

We used to get our school lunch pizza from Jenos since they were made just across the bridge.

TiL Pizza rolls have been around since 1977! That's just amazing. I'm going to need to add pizza rolls to my next grocery run

I remember the Fry Daddy appliance from the old days, didn't know there was a Fry Baby.

A Fry Daddy implies both a Fry Baby and a Fry Mommy.

It also implies deep fryers have sex

Just about everyone I knew in the 70s had a fry daddy or fry baby.

Huh. I really assumed that these delicious abominations were created during the obesity/diabetes on-ramp period of the 80s to 90s.

Guess I should probably be glad that I never had them until I was in my teens in the late 90s or maybe early 00s.

They definitely had deep fryers well before the 80s. My mom just used a regular pot and that is what I've stuck with.

Sorry, I meant the pizza rolls.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

12 rolls? That's a rounding error these days. Pizza roll bags come with a heavy duty braided handle and retractable wheels these days you get em by the thousands.
