Description
Big Buddy gum was shaped like a ruler (I think it even had a ruler on it's packaging). Crunchios were like corn chips, but in the shape of rings and came in a container like a fat Pringles container.

Any idea as to where one might be able to get some Crunchios? Those ruled!
When I was growing up in the 70's me and my best friend always walked up to the ma and pop store just to get Big Buddy's. Guess how much? 10cents a piece! My favorite was watermellon.They were a mouthful!!!
I have been looking for Big Buddy's everywhere for 30 years. Sometimes in my travels I see "old time" candy stores but they never carry it. Grape was the absolute best flavor, although I do remember the Hawaiian one too. When we bought them they had a big star on them that said 10 Cents! Wow, that and an ice cold RC cola for a quarter, gotta love it!
I have also been looking for Big Buddy's everywhere. We had contests to see who could chew a whole one at one time. Those were the best!
I don't remember Crunchios, but I LOVED big buddies. I'm looking for them...they seem to be discontinued. :( One of my best memories...big buddies and the old charms lollipops.
I remember a potato snack shaped like rings I think they were called "potato o's"
I only remember buying the snack size bag,not sure if they came in bigger bags.
we used to go to the corner gas station and get a bottle of soda and a snack for a quarter
I remember chewing big buddy bubble gum in 5th grade, loved the grape flavor!
The Big Buddy was shaped just like a 12" ruler my favorate was grape! Where did they go? no one remembers them...
Yes the Big Buddy's were shaped like a 12" ruler and even had the measurments on them...I liked them all
The Ice cream man in my neighborhood sold them in his truck back in the 70's. Hawaiian!!!
I ALSO REMEMBER GOING TO THE MA AND POP STORE IN THE MORNING ON MY WAY TO SCHOOL TO GET 5 BIG BUDDIES ALL FLAVORS. AT THAT TIME THEY WERE FIVE CENTS A PIECE, IT USED TO COST ONLY A QUARTER. THEY WERE THE BEST. I HAVE NOT SEEN THEM SINCE. WHAT A SHAME
Crunchios were awesome! Potato flavor circles, about the width of a mans wedding ring...my son used to put one on each finger and eat them off one at a time...have often thought about them and wished they still made them.
Is there anywhere you can buy them? The big buddy that is!
I would walk to the drug store in Kensington, MD back in 1970 in 4th grade. Big Buddies were 5 cents each. I would buy a bunch of them and Charm pops and sell them for 25 cents each. Also did big business in cinnamon toothpicks.
crunchios came out in the early 70s samples were sent out in the mail as a promotion they were crunchy with a real potato flavor
