I know what it’s like to be inspired by pizza. Every time I eat three slices they inspire me to exercise. (Spotted by Chris B at Wegmans.)

Each pizza is inspired by particular community. Mission District (San Francisco) is topped with chicken sausage, uncured pepperoni, green peppers, onions, and black olives. Little Italy (New York City) is a blend of Romano, provolone, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses on a pesto based sauce with cherry tomatoes on top. North End (Boston) has a truffle Alfredo based sauce, topped with shiitake and crimini mushrooms, caramelized onion, rosemary and capers. Lake View (Chicago) features sun-dried tomatoes, chicken sausage, fire roasted yellow pepper and spinach over a three cheese bed of mozzarella, provolone and Gouda. (Spotted by Robbie at H-E-B.)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES: Kellogg’s Cocoa Krispies Treats

Kellogg's Cocoa Krispies Treats

I could’ve sworn Kellogg’s put out Cocoa Krispies Treats before, but I couldn’t find anything about them via Google. Am I going crazy? Am I in a different dimension? (Spotted by Francoise at ShopRite.)

WAYSNACK MACHINE: Cinnamon SunChips

Waysnack Machine is a series that looks back at discontinued junk food.

Did you know there were sweet SunChips?

The brand got out of its savory comfort zone years before Pringles got out of its savory comfort zone. Although not as often as Pringles, who has released a new sweet flavor every year since 2012.

Cinnamon SunChips came out in 2007 B.C.B. (Before Compostable Bag that made too much noise) and disappeared about a year or so later. I think I’ve seen it come back once. Or maybe it was a HFCS-induced dream. Or maybe I’m confusing it with the also discontinued Cinnamon Crunch SunChips.

Out of all the SunChips flavors I’ve tried (Disclosure: I haven’t tried all of them), the short-lived cinnamon one is my favorite. They were really good. The cinnamon and sugar that heavily seasoned each grainy chip made each one taste like a churro. There was even a little buttery flavor. Sure, while chewing, the sweet flavors eventually dissolved and the graininess of the SunChip came through, somewhat ruining the experience, but I still love them.

I’d really like them to come back, and a quick Google search shows that I’m not alone. But I don’t have high hopes because if my beloved Lightly Cinnamon Wheat Thins have taught me anything, it’s that cinnamon-flavored crunchy wheat snacks don’t sell well enough to become permanent or a recurring seasonal product.

Do you miss Cinnamon SunChips?
