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
1968
Til https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totino's
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.
10¢ off what a deal!
That is 50¢ in today money according to https://www.usinflationcalculator.com
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.
I see that metal rim and all I can think of is the Cornballer.
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.
Did anyone else's stomach turn when they saw this? I think they're already pre-deep fried. To fry them again is pretty gross imo.
thaw and pan fry them, it's fucken amazing.
omfg WHAT
e: i tried it, it’s really good
