Why I love Big Lots, part 1

By Kristen | December 1, 2007

Big Lots (for those of you who’ve never been to one) is where products go to die — where weird items no one ever really wanted end up, like a consumer orphanage. You will find things at Big Lots you never knew existed, or even why they existed… and this is why I make a special trip there when I visit my mom.

Exhibit A: Rap Snacks

R.I.P. O.D.B.

With a name like Ol’ Dirty Bastard, it must be good!

Now, The Ol’ Dirty Chinese Restaurant’s been dead since 2004. Why is he still on the Rap Snacks bag?

Wait a minute! There’s a website!

also! rock snacks!

So, if you made it past the intro to the products page, you’ll note: not only is this a snack food you’ve never seen before, it’s a discontinued flavor of a snack food you’ve never seen before.

Oh, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, you — and your tasty sour cream and onion potato chips — were taken from us too soon.

    Damn. And it was “The official snack of Hip Hop,” too.

    It still is! Did you see the site? You can still buy them, just not that flavor.
