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

Til https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totino%27s

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.

I remember the Fry Daddy appliance from the old days, didn't know there was a Fry Baby.

A Fry Daddy implies both a Fry Baby and a Fry Mommy.

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It also implies deep fryers have sex

if you don't think fryers fuck try sticking your hand in one

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Instructions clear, deep fried my hand

[–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Hand is fucked

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Just about everyone I knew in the 70s had a fry daddy or fry baby.

I see that metal rim and all I can think of is the Cornballer.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They definitely had deep fryers well before the 80s. My mom just used a regular pot and that is what I've stuck with.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 3 points 2 months ago

Sorry, I meant the pizza rolls.

[–] ValenThyme@reddthat.com 1 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] chocosoldier@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

thaw and pan fry them, it's fucken amazing.
