New Article: Ancient Chef Boyardee Fettuccine!

Well, the Deli of Christmas Past has struck yet again. You might remember a fairly recent blog entry about some old packs of Jell-O I picked up at one of our local (and really filthy filthy filthy) convenient marts -- I thought I'd finally cleaned the place out of all the foodstuffs capable of killing a person, but check out what we found last night: an ancient can of Chef Boyardee "Fettuccine!" Boy oh Boyardee. My pals Amstel and Orion have the honor of introducing you guys to this lost treasure, so go read the article and try not to smell or taste anything vicariously. By the way, does anyone know if the Chef still makes this crud? We couldn't find any recent version at the supermarket to compare it to. It wasn't a crushing moment, but I think I said "aw man, they don't have any." About three levels away from a crushing moment. Yeah.

By the way, you know those "great articles" I keep alluding to for this month? I started putting the first one together, and by God, get yourselves excited right now. Trust me on this one. I was hoping to get it up by Friday, but that might be tough, so Monday at the latest. (weekend readers might get a early look) Rarely do I get so amped about an article that I don't know where to start, but this one is throwing me for all sorts of loops. You won't believe it. This is the big one. Stay tuned...

DUDE! I love the use of Muscle Figures to illistrate the hilarity ever so much. Maybe becasue i watch too much tv, or just miss whatever i had as childhood memories, yet, they need to bring back Crystal Pepsi. I thought that stuff was the bomb, and i stil do.

$1.59 for a can of Chef Boyardee that long ago? Wow. Maybe it’s just me, but that sounds stinkingly expensive!

It’s at most 10 years old. The Nutrition Facts label in the picture wasn’t used until 1993.

SEE?If you refer to my "Super Man peanut butter" complaint…..This is exACTly what I’m talking about.This is about as funny as a heart attack.Although…..this one did have funny action figure drama,but,…….I’m really gonna puke.Creatures of decay consuming products of decay in a mad attempt to stave off decay……….It’s SICK!
Love the site.Say Hi to Mom.

My family once found some lasagna pasta shells (just the pasta, no sauce) from 1986 in about ’97. The funny thing was that in 1988 we moved from the East Coast to California, so we brought along a box of old pasta like another piece of furniture all the way across the nation!

Do an article on crystal pepsi. I loved the stuff, and wish it had never gone away.

Between the fettucine, the Hi-C, your various experiments with Ecto-Cooler, and what appears to be Bootsy Collins era Jell-O you should probably either be on a "That’s Incredible!" type show or tested for tuberculosis.

Does your deli carry Grizzly Chomps snack cakes? I know my grandma has some laying around, although snack cakes are pretty much immortal…….

Fettuccine isn’t mentioned anywhere on Chef Boyardee’s current http://www.chefboyardee.com/pages/parents_lounge_our_products.html">list of products, so obviously it’s been discontinued. How long is anyone’s guess…the only online reference I can find to this product is from this web site!
Sorry to burst the bubble, but the modern "Nutrition Facts" label pinpoints the can to 1994 at earliest. I’m not sure when Chef Boyardee stopped using the oval can label design with the old logo, but that definately happened well before 1998, when I ate a Chef Boyardee product for the first time.

My friend Brandy found a 17 year old box of Ninja Turtles pasta at her grandma’s. It was in the style of Kraft Dinner with a packet of "pizza sauce" mix. Our law teacher made us open it in class on the last day of school… good times.

I remember Roller Coasters. They used to be one of my favorites. I haven’t seen them in years though.

I’m surprised there isn’t a site somewhere devoted to discontinued Chef Boyardee pastas.

Chestnuts roasted by Andrew Morse @ 02/25/2004 4:02 PM

That’s not so bad. When i worked in a grocery store we replaced all the shelving. This shelving had been there for 20 years, and lots of product feel behind it in that time. We found 15 year old kraft mayo and salad dressing, and a lot of ammusing products that came out for like, 3 weeks back in 89 that i remeber being psyced about when i was 5.

Chestnuts roasted by gorffy @ 04/07/2004 10:48 AM

They stopped making Roller Coaster Pasta back when I was like 12 or something. Damn that was like 28 years ago… I really missed that stuff.
