Out Shopping, part 1: Tom's Expired
Jan. 27th, 2010 06:17 pmI rejoiced when the local instantiation of Meijer's Thrifty Acres turned out to stock my all-time-favorite junk snack food, a bag of Tom's Bacon and Cheddar Fries.
This crunchy treat-- distinguished by having the lengthiest Ingredients list I have ever encountered-- has previously been available mostly in gas stations along obscure routes. I did once find a couple of bags in a shabby grocery in Luxora, Arkansas, but I never set foot in Luxora again.

whl used to send me bags occasionally from Water Valley, Mississippi. Never had I found T'sB&CF so near to home. You can see why I was delighted.
Dismay set in upon taking a closer look.
The sell-by date was February, 1910. Let us pause in a moment of silence to mourn these noble Fries.
