We were making our own pizza bagels long before they did. Along with french bread pizza, toast pizza, English muffin pizzas, tortilla pizza, cracker pizza, etc. You throw cheese and sauce on anything that was like bread. It was such an easy thing and a little kid could handle making their own for a snack. We never even considered buying the frozen versions when they came out. They didn't really save you money or time. And they didn't taste as good. Bagel bites appealed to people who didn't know what a real bagel or pizza really was.
I rarely ate Bagel Bites, but I do have a fond memory of my children's almanac that had a recipe for homemade toasted pizza bagels. Though I wasn't never the hugest fan of the little pepperoni cubes, instant cheese pizza or regular pizza from the restaurant always hit the right way. I wonder if that kid love for pizza persists today, stuff like this built childhoods 🥲
@@djjackson-pickett7558 Yup. I did try them and I was disappointed. The concept is sound and has potential but Bagel Bites are actually just meh. I feel like I could make my own version of bagel bites and they'd be pretty good.
I LOVE BAGEL BITES! I am careful not to eat too many or eat them EVERY day though [usually when we have nothing else to eat]. Still hoping for a Weird History Food episode on Jack In The Box restaurant and a Weird History Food episode on Domino's Pizza!
Yes, pretty much any bread can be pizzafied, I like pizza panini; spread each half of the panini with sauce, put cheese and toppings on one side with any other topping, sandwich together and cook in a panini press.
@@TheOtherBill Mom made them for me back in the 70's and I'm still making them. The trick is to toast the engllish muffins first. It keep the marinara from making them soggy.
This will only make sense to viewers of a certain age, but if you remember the song "Freak Like Me" by Adina Howard, I used to combine it with the Bagel Bites theme. The chorus partially says "freak in the morning, freak in the evening..." So I added "freak at supper time! When you get freaky on a bagel you can get freaky anytime!" I was like eleven so, yeah. I still chuckle sometimes. I have my own renditions of a lot of songs, honestly
Back in elementary school, I used to make "pizza bagels" for lunch by putting leftover spaghetti sauce and parmesan cheese on an egg bagel and putting it in the toaster oven. I lived two blocks away from the school and was allowed to go home for lunch.
Use to eat them all the time in late 90s early 2000s. Now I have a teenage daughter that likes them and wow. They really skimp on the cheese now! Lucky to have 10 tiny cubes on each bite. After melted all you see is tomato sauce still😂
I don't understand all these comments about Bagel Bites burning your mouth. From my experience, the cheese was either still frozen or if I tried to microwave them longer to melt the cheese, the bagel became harder than a diamond.
My mother was making French bread pizza, pizza bagels, and english muffin pizzas for us since the 70's. She always found a way to put the least amount of effort into cooking for us.
I've seen those things in the grocery store but never picked them up: I've always been on the Pizza Pocket / Pizza Pops camp (yes I know those two brands had a rivalry too, but I consumed both equally) for my pizza-like objects.
I'm a pizza roll guy. I won't turn down a Bagel Bite, but when I have the choice, I just don't need that much bread. 🤷 It's shocking how long the company's been around; lots of items you'd think had enough traction to stick around get discontinued anyway.
I used to work at a plumbing place right next to the bagel bites factory in fort Myers when they would start making them things in the morning it would make the whole neighborhood smell like bagel bites
The Cheeseburger Bagel Bites were the best. They came with a frozen dollop of ketchup on top. I wish they'd bring them back! I wrote to the company like 10 years asking them to bring them back. They just sent me coupons.
0:34 The first three Tony Hawk Pro Skater video games were a hit at Doane University when I went there! Those were some of the most popular games over that four school year period.
I used to eat bagel bites but I stopped cause whenever I would bite into one my mouth would hurt cause the base would be so hard even after heating them up.
Not even making a homemade pizza bagel ? Get some good onion bagels, top, with good sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni. Then put it in the oven for a few minutes then turn on the broiler. They are way better than the frozen ones and the onion bagel makes a great base.
Totino's were around a LOT longer ago than what this video says; it's just that they were called Jeno's Pizza Rolls in the late 80s/early 90s and they were absolutely great! I believe it was a brand change or a business purchase that moved Jeno's to Totino's.
I like how it went from Tony Hawk - skateboarding's MJ to Tiny Hawk - Skateboarding's Niel Armstrong Haha I bake my pizza rolls on top of my bagel bites
Ill take bagel bites over pizza rolls any day. Back in elementary school, theyd serve up pizza bagels for breakfast in the cafeteria and it was glorious!
I got some bagel bites a few months back cause I wanted to try them again and I cooked them in the microwave wasn’t as good I remembered. Maybe it’s better in the oven
@icankillbugs Thats a big assumption that I have a Walmart within 400km of me. Not everyone lives in Toronto my guy. Pizza Pops are 4 @ 4.99, Pizza Pockets are 4 @ 9.99. Shall I do the math for you?
