Those leftovers the other day left me hungry. Let's eat.... It's supper time!

 

Maybe I should say let's have a snack.

Those of us that have been collecting for decades know that there are hundreds of different "food issue" cards out there. You have Cracker Jack, M&Ms, Tombstone, Jimmy Dean, Cap'n Crunch, Jumbo sunflower seeds, Yoo-Hoo, Squirt, Pepsi, Coke, Drakes, Chef Boyardee, Kraft, Wonder Bread and lots of other breads too, Twizzlers, Mother's and Johnston cookies, Ritz/Oreo, Quaker chewy, Oscar Meyer,  Nissen, King B, Granny Goose, Utz, Nestle, Hostess (duh), Little Debbie too, Big League chew, Mootown, Homer's, Jays, Jiffy Pop, General Mills, Eagle, Mr. Turkey, Armour, Humongus Ent., Wheaties, City pride, Dan-Dee, Hire's, Goudey, Glendale meats, Wilson franks, Bond bread. I'll stop here as the list goes on and on and these are just the ones mainly from the 80's and 90's. 

I know you're thinking how could I intentionally leave out a few missing obvious choices. Hah....I didn't.




I had a few of the "founder's" in my famous people box and thought why not make a post with them. 



Post from the 60's were basically the same including the Jell-o release which was slightly smaller. But Post had some various styles through the  years.



1982 above and 1983 below.



These are oversized which I do not like, and thus must be placed into 4 pocket pages which I have not done yet. I do have a handful of each of those years.


Below is the 90's version along with a 2001 design which I absolutely dig.




Moving on to the next guy.






With Kellogg's the main difference in their run was whether or not it was lenticular or not. In case you are wondering I used cards that were sitting in a stack waiting (for a year) to put in the binders.




 

I didn't have Micky D cards that were sitting in a stack needing to be put away, because any that I have that are keepers are PC guys. Most of know this guy owned the Padres. they released cards via Classic as well as with Topps.

Don't ask. I have no clue what a Farkleberry is.


Had these sitting in a stack for the PC guys.




Lastly out beloved Hostess.



There are tons of candy companies from the early 1900's too. Now, who is craving some junk food?

  2. I like a variety of foods. There are a few on my do not eat list. I'm also sure there is many different foods that I have never tried. You ended with a Carew. Hard to beat that! Have a great night all!

  3. A. Not sure what I enjoy more... junk food or "food issues". I crave both.

    B. Those 1982 and 1983 oversized Post cards are cool. I have an A's card, but it doesn't include the tab. I'll have to see if there's an affordable copy on COMC or eBay.

    C. Never seen that Kroc card. Gotta find one for my Padres PC.

  5. There is a C.W. Post college near where I live. Until I was an adult I had no idea that was the Post Cereal guy.
