Hot Slut Of The Day!
doo dads!
If you look at a bowl of Chex Mix like a kid who looks at the new “uncle” their mom introduces them to and you say to it, “You are not my father doo dads!,” then you definitely remember Nabisco’s doo dads snack mix, which doesn’t exist anymore. But since Gen Z has declared that capitalization is OVER, it’s time for the rise of the all-lower-case-named snack mix from the past to make its return.
Nabisco debuted doo dads in the 1960s and it lasted into the 90s before it ended up in the snack mix cemetery where Chex Mix and Gardetto’s probably join together at its grave every now and again to cackle over its demise. doo dads was made up of crispy wheat squares, roasted peanuts, Tid-Bits, and little pretzels. It came in original recipe flavor and cheddar ‘n herb flavor. Gone But Not Forgotten Groceries says that the cheddar n’ herb flavor was Nabisco’s way of trying to save doo dads.
In the 90s, as sales started to slip due to the influx of chips/crackers/snacks that were in the market, doo dads tried out some new flavors hoping to bring them back to life, but as the 90s came to a close so did doo dads. (though I have heard people say they lasted into the early 2000s….if anyone can confirm that let me know).
There are some doo dads recipes online, but I’m sure it’s not the same and it involves doing actual work. Who wants to do that?! There are also several online petitions from doo dads fans (doo-doo-heads?) who are begging for Nabisco to bring it back. Although, if I were them, I’d be careful about screaming “give me doo dads again” in public, because people may think they’re begging for a scat daddy.
