Planters' Cheese Balls

What happened to the Planters' Cheese balls? It was a puff cheesey snack food that came in a round blue stocky tube with a yellow lid. It also came in the cheese curl variety but the cheese balls were better. If any of the readers out there find them please buy as many cans as possible and then ship them to me.

Sorry, the cheese curls were better. It was the "real cheese flavor" that made these good snacks.

Unfortunately, they were discontinued in 2006. I don't know why. All we're left with is the lame cheetos and its other knock offs.

yeah where are they? maybe if someone is making underground Planters' Cheese Balls you'll find them as a goodie in the backdoor ports of third world countries such as, as much as i hesitate to type this name up, the Philippines. but hey! thats the truth.

and yeah, there's Cheetos which comes in a puffy type, then the thin ones with the extra cheese which makes your hands be orange, then the jalapeno cheetos. now, that was good! then there's also Utz. and also that party mix.

At my Kroger there is a store-brand of Cheese Balls that is a pretty good approximation of the good old Planters variety.

A little bigger, not quite as cheesy, but all in all satisfying!
