One of Cheetos’ biggest competitors in the 1980s and 1990s were Planters Cheez Balls. These bite-sized cheese snacks came in a can similar to Pringles and it didn’t take long for consumers to gobble them up. When they were discontinued in 2006 it created massive outrage among Cheez Balls fans.
A couple of years ago Planters decided to bring them back after numerous complaints saying they were taken off the shelves too early. To celebrate the comeback, Planters announced they would give away a Cheez Balls Cheez Powder shaker to 350 of the biggest Cheez Balls enthusiasts.
These snacks were making hundreds of millions of dollars before being pulled off the shelves.
