Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 " Crunch Toonz " were distributed by Poores Brothers, and have been discontinued. They were a potato based snack, that came in the following shapes: Tweety Bird, Bugs Bunny, Tazmanian Devil. They were pretty good, and the Tweety Bird ones highly resembled a " goldfish " cracker. Those 3 crunch toonz I mentioned were gluten- free. > A few questions... > I had read that Fruity Pebbles used to be OK, but then they started dusting them with flour to keep them from sticking. Is this true? Cocoa Pebbles are OK to eat also? Any other " regular " cereals in the grocery store GF? > I have seen " Crunch Toons " mentioned in a few emails and have looked for them in my local grocery stores (Walmart & Kroger). I haven't seen them. Are they chips, crackers or what? > I have read that self basting turkeys are not OK. What is a safe brand of Turkey and also Ham?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Crunch Toons make me do the " gluten free dance. " Did you do the dance when you found them???? Unfortunately, Poore's Brothers (the distributor of them) discontinued them sometime in late summer of 2004. Maybe we could start a capaign and petition them that many SillyYaks (especially SillyYaks moms) would love for them to begin making them again. (It had something to do with the products not being profitable for them, and since they were part of a deal with " looney tunes/Warner Brothers " .... that meant that WB also had to get their cut of the profits for use of the cartoon logo & character mold of the " potato puff. " ) I suspect that if the manufacturer and WB didn't have to split profits, etc... then perhaps such a product would have been profitable and would still be in production. But, that's just my .02 worth. ~Melonie > > Hi all, > > I just wanted to share that today I found some individual sized crunch > toons at my local Shell food mart.

I hope the new product is still gf. I don't care that they aren't shaped like Looney Toons, as long as the kids can occasionally have a " shaped " snack food. They miss the goldfish crackers, so we loved the Crunch Toons when we could find them. We'll all have to be on the lookout for their new product this summer! :-) God bless, nn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Now, let's all do the gluten-free dance together in unison.... it's kind of like a combination of the macarena, the charleston, the " Elaine dance " from Seinfeld, and a little bit of Shag.... I can't wait for these new " shapes " to appear as well. I don't care what the shapes are... it's just exciting that there may be another alternative on the horizon for everyone. Woo Woo! Woo Woo! ~Melonie > > >I am so sorry for any confusion that I may have caused. It must have > >been old stock, and when I asked the kid working he told me that they > >had just come in recently.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Maybe we should all write to the maker and give our suggestions to let them know we are waiting for their new products. Just a thought! Faye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
