I haven't seem them up here in Michigan for three or four years now. Several of those 200 count crates showed up at Big Lots once, like I said, then... nothing.Brian Lutz wrote:Otter Pops are still alive and well, but they seem to be something of a seasonal item in most places (for example, Costco regularly carries the big 200 count boxes between roughly April and August, but not during the Fall and Winter.)
For that matter, did Luxury and American Beauty survive also? Those brands, as well as San Giorgio, Creamette, Prince, Ronzoni, Skinner, and a few of the others were all available in the past in some form in the Atlanta/North Georgia area, but now about the only brands from the New World stable that one sees here are Ronzoni, Creamette, and Skinner (in some stores). I imagine that a few of the ones mentioned are still out there, but just not distributed as widely as they formerly were.Transit Road wrote:...
In 2001, Borden sold off their pasta business to New World Pasta (formerly the pasta operations of Hershey Foods Corp.) which streamlined their brands. Many of the brands - Prince, Creamette, Goodman's, Ronzoni, and San Giorgio survived the merger, but it does not appear Gioia did.
