Beep (circa 1962-2010, 2012-2015): An amalgamated "fruit juice-based beverage" from Canada, that developed a cult following. It was made with a blend of orange, apple, apricot, prune, and pineapple juices, along with canola oil, corn starch, added orange pulp, & caramel coloring
This was largely an east coast thing, particularly in Nova Scotia. I've definitely never seen it in Ontario.
It was also for sure sold at Safeway in BC and Alberta, per Canadian publications and replies on this post haha
Yeah, I seem to recall that it gained a fair bit of popularity in the prairies as well, but somehow it appears to have missed Ontario.
The discontinued food I miss most though? O'Grady's potato chips. I'm sure they were explosively high in sodium, but *damn* they were good.
O'Grady's Au Gratin! So thick and delicious.
Right? And I swear they had a sour cream & onion flavour that came out of the bag so loaded with flavouring powder that it was fuzzy.
I recall a cheddar cheese flavour, too. I remember arguing with a friend that thick chips were better than thin chips like Hostess.
I loved Hostess — that was my #1 chip by a mile. O'Grady's were the only chips to unseat Hostess as my favourite.
May 7, 2025 17:01The school caf had Munchos & only Munchos. Like, who ate these first then had them remade into chips?
I don't mind Munchos at all, but I'm under no illusion that they are anything more than a salt delivery vehicle with a unique texture which are to other potato chips what Aero/Mirage is to other chocolate bars. I'm okay with that sometimes. Better than plain Pringles, anyway.
