Thanks to Sqwerts I/we knew what to look for. I've been looking for
months with no sign of the little buggers. Today we were in a liquor
store and Louise spotted them thanks to the pictures Steve posted. I
asked the guy working there if they've always had them and he said
they fly off the rack whenever he can get them. They had 6 bags and I
bought them all. I've never hoarded food but those babies are stashed
away in a closet for the holidays.

Me happy as it's been years since I've had them.

Hey, I just found them in the store last week, I bought two bags.
I opened one today.

I'm sure you didn't have to share one with your cat, though. She
loves that cheese stuff.

Don't know what you paid for them at the liquor store. They are
fairly pricey on Amazon but you can buy an
8 pack.

I fondly remember those. Couldn't we make our own? Polly

Exactly. Whenever I go to this particular store, the only one
that carries them, I know to grab two or three because they will
not be there the next time I go. Then it will be some time before
they show up again.

Having said that, these are under the Wise brand, and that's always
been the snack chip king, taking up half the aisle. In the past
couple of years or so, it's become a challenge to even find the
Wise section of the aisle. I don't know what happened there, other
brands have edged them out.

I want to hear their excuse, too. I mean, explanation.

Damn! Ain't seen those in forever. I love those damn things and
still jones for one, now and then. Thought about them jes the other
day, in fact. Used to buy Old London brand in a long narrow single
row cellaphane covered box. Last time I saw any at a mkt has to be
well over 20 yrs ago. I don't know about that amazon deal. $25 and
no free shipping? Now that I know a little history, maybe I can find
'em elsewhere.

They are made by Wise Foods of Berwick PA.

Never heard of them before this thread, but I looked at them up-thread
and wondered what the big deal was. If I wanted something like that,
I'd buy cheetos (sp) or maybe the crunchy version of cheese puffs.

Oh, NOW I remember those. My mother couldn't keep em in the house.
We'd go thru a tube of em in an hour. I wonder why they are so hard
to find.

I still haven't opened any. Because they're so rare I'm saving them
for holiday parties.

When Quinn was a kitten he'd eat anything. Not anymore. I doubt he'd
touch them. He won't eat cheese but loves yogurt.

I don't get it either but you may be right with creating demand. $2.99
is pretty high for that little bag. Those combo pretzel things are
pretty good too but also not cheap.

I opened a bag the other night and was very disappointed. The waffle
crackers were over done. Not burnt black but definitely over browned.
They had like half the filling they did the last time I had them.

I don't know if it means anything but there used to be lots of broken
pieces in the bottom of the bag. This bag had none at all. Maybe
they changed something to stop the breaking or maybe these just didn't
get tossed around as much.

When this batch of bags is gone I'll get another one if I can find
them and if they're the same I doubt I'll get any more. If I'm going
to spend 3 bucks on junk food I'll go to Burger King.

Hopefully I just got a bad batch.

What brand were they (in case they are made by more than one company)?

These are Jay's. The bag says distributed by Snyders of Hanover.

To answer Jean B's question I looked in the cabinet. It looks like my
sneaky friend opened a bag over the weekend. This bag isn't burnt and
has the amount of cheese they used to have. This is very weird. How
could one bag and not the batch be so different? I need to look for
a Cheese Waffie investigator.

It's weird for you to say that as much as you like so many other
strong tasting food items. I'm surprised you do put Sriracha on them.

It's a he and he did it to mess with me. If he ate any it wasn't
many. He can and does help himself to anything he wants here. He's
the only one who has keys to this place and spent 6 days watching it
when we went to Florida.

He's a Chicago paramedic. His brother is also a friend and is a
Chicago fireman. The brother-in-law is a Chicago cop as is my friends
ex-wife. The evidence he left was to make sure I knew he was ****ing
with me.

I'm very lucky to have this group as friends. I read that if you have
five "close" friends you're a lucky person. I'm lucky and any of them
can all the Cheese waffies they want.

Thanks, I guess I shouldn't just reassure myself when I see
Waffies on the shelf. I'd better get some when I next see them.
What snack arsenal is complete without Waffies?

It's a free standing cabinet in a room off the kitchen. It's about 9
years old and never had food in it. We keep serving dishes and other
things that don't get used much in it. Louise said she heard us
talking about them so I have no clue what happened. We watched a
football game and then spent 4 hours clearing out my basement and
drank the whole time so the day is kinda foggy.

He and I usually get over served when we get together. At one time
the city was paying for cooking classes for the firehouse cooks so he
knows his way around the kitchen so we always make a nice dinner.

Really late response... I had a new theory, which may be relevant
to some of the poorer than expected meals. I noticed this when I
was comparing brownies recipes and preparing to make one. I
looked and looked and looked at the amount of butter required and
thought it said 6 ounces, which struck me as odd, because the
other recipes called for 8 ounces. Only after looking at least
four times did I see that it was indeed 8 ounces. I guess I need
to see the ophthalmologist again.

A friend had another theory, which is probably relevant. Over the
years, the amount of spices I use has increased, so what struck me
as nicely seasoned before might very well strike me as being
insipid now.

Heh. Now that my daughter is not eying every little thing, I can
sneak some into the house. Hmmm. I do need to go by the store
where I saw them soon.
