I LOVED these too! I talk about them all the time, but my friends don't remember them. It would make my day if my mom packed them in my lunch when I was in 5th grade!! Wish they still made them. I keep checking the Combos flavors to see if they've come up with it.

This was my favorite snack. And I liked the commercial too (the Cornquistodores). I was a college student when these came out and everyday at the student center, I used to buy 3-4 bags (they were small, not like the big bags you would find at the supermarket). If I recall correctly, they were only around for less than a year. But everyone was buying them so I never understood why they were discontinued. As much as I hate to disappoint my fellow Cornquistodores, I doubt seriously that they are being made now by anyone but if enough of us who do remember them write to the company who made them (was it Frito Lay?), they might consider bringing them back. It might be worth a try.

I loved these things when I was a kid growing up in AZ. It seems like they were around for a couple of years. They were so much better than Combos. They had a semi-spicy filling, a crispy corn shell, with a dusting of seasoning. Makes you wonder about all these great foods that were pulled off the shelves, kind of like the old red m&ms......

They were great. ate them all the time in the early 80's. maybe the reason they pulled them was because they had a problem with the center filling running out when they got a lil hot and made a mess in the bag in a store that had them on shelves in the sun. only thing i can think of.
