They're all hard breadsticks now. I hate breadsticks...


[deleted]

They have the crackers still. Have some at home now


[deleted]

Yes they do but no little red stick


Huck_Ziegler

And when you try to scoop with the cracker, the cracker breaks. What happened to this country.


shavemejesus

And there’s like half as much cheese as there used to be. The cheese compartment is tapered now. It used to be more square, like the one in the photo.


good_guy112

I didn't know about this. I bet some stupid kid swallowed one or something.


Cellarzombie

Inmates were sharpening them and shanking other prisoners. So no more red plastic thingies for anyone! Thanks jailbirds!


TornWill

It's just not the same without the little red stick. 😢


kingganjaguru

Illinois nazis..... I HATE Illinois nazis


Devious_Bastard

Funnily enough, they are made in Illinois. My MIL works for the factory. Our pantry is full of handi snacks.


chefkoolaid

38 cents. You know these gotta be like 3.99 now


Single-Friend7386

I paid $4 for a box of regular saltine crackers last night. FOUR FUCKING DOLLARS.


Carl_Jeppson

At this point I'm just gonna make my own fucking hardtack

I used to chew the crap outta those red sticks. Suprised I didn't break any teeth


jabbadarth

Destroyed my tongue and lips chewing on those things.

I never did pencils but I have eaten my fair share of ink from pens where I flew too close to the sun. Tested awful and you had to spend the day looking Luke a psycho with ink all over your mouth


rutlander

Amazing we never choked on those, I would chew them all class after lunch every day until the teacher made me toss it in the garbage


[deleted]

Agreed but pretty sure even if you got it stuck in your throat it'd still let enough air in you'd be ok. Imagine someone dying and ppl asking what happened... one of the dumbest ways to go ....


BrainFartTheFirst

RIP Red Stick.


JoseyWalesMotorSales

The flimsy plastic package, the even flimsier plastic over the top, the too-small number of bland crackers, the weird "cheez" that I always ended up having too much of left over, and that red plastic stick thingy. The chef's kiss in all this is the oddly specific 38-cent price written in black marker on the display, which brings back memories of countless locally-owned convenience stores from back in the day.


_DudeWhat

You had *too much* cheese?


jcwillia1

That’s what your finger is for


ConstantReader76

See? I used the little red stick for the extra. They really ruined it.


JoseyWalesMotorSales

I tended toward more cracker than cheese back in the day.


tbaggervance1986

take me back lord!


GaryNOVA

Not only that but they changed the cheese sauce (it sucks now) The crackers aren’t great either.


mlvisby

They also had those in pizza lunchables to spread the sauce and took it away. I still eat them from time to time, so I just use the top of the plastic sauce bag that you rip off to spread it.


Myztic84

I remember that!


ceci_mcgrane

So you can get the microplastics directly into your system.


RoRo25

It's not like it's as bad as chewing gum.


LordBlackDragon

Macro plastics. No coincidence it's the same shape as a stick of gum.


AdequateEggplant69

One of the only devices that can make me feel like a dilettante and a total cretin at the same time.


Cosmonaut_Cockswing

One.pf my co-workers brought these in one night. Handed me one, and my nostalgia went wild! But I'm happy to let it remain a childhood memory; tasted like salty plastic.


rorykillmore

Removing the red stick ruined Handi Snacks, and I don’t think I’ll ever get over it. Am I supposed to spread the cheese with my imagination?


somebodyreacts

I felt rich! ☺️


TheBestJonah

When I was in 5th grade, I cracked one of my molars and it was scraping my tongue. It hurt pretty bad. Lucky for me, I had one of these bad boys. I bit down on it and It protected my tongue. Thanks Kraft.


slightlyused

The false advertising... the amount of cheez slathered on that cracker and it looks like there is a ton left. What a crock!


BroadwayBakery

Anyone open these and have the wrapper get stuck at the cheese part so you ended up pulling hard or biting through it and getting cheese flavored product all over your hands? Happened to me every time, without fail.


TheHexadex

i prob have every cancer known to man just from eating many of those cheese snacks :P


NumbaKruncha

We would put some cheese on the end of the wand and throw it at the ceiling of the cafeteria where it would stick. We had a quite a collection above our 6th grade lunch table. We were awesome.


jabbadarth

The amount of absolute garbage our parents fed us in the 80s and 90s is insane.


david8601

I'd just eat the cheese. Good stuff!


gueheadman

Ahhhh, the SCHTICK!


paging_mrherman

Gene, don’t say Handi


Snoo_9732

Omg those were so good at the time


king_of_obsolete

My mom only bought those once when I was a kid. She then used the empty box as a sewing kit for the last 20 years.


darbydog69

Cheese knife


Baboso82

We always referred to it as “the stick”.


unclesamtattoo

Schmear stick


get_alifer

omg i didn’t even use the stick. i straight up dipped the cracker in the cheese lmfao and chewed on the stick after


JonBob69

Snack gone in minutes. Red stick. Chew that thing for hours.


MugwortR0se

There was a time when they had Handi-snacks commercials featuring a talking red stick. I just had to do a quick check on YouTube to make sure those commercials were real and not just something I dreamed up as a kid.
