Subject: name of a food from the 90s

My friend wants to know the name of a cookie from the 90s that had a bite in it already and had a slogan that went something like: "I start um, you finish um!"

My friend wants to know the name of a cookie from the 90s that had a bite in it already and had a slogan that went something like: "I start um, you finish um!"
"Hostess' Grizzly Chomps cupcakes utilize an idea that may appeal only to children: a chocolate cake with the first bite already taken. ``I start 'em, you finish 'em'' says the animal on the wrapper that looks more like a wolf than a bear. The 97 percent fat-free cakes with super sprinkles retail for 49 for a 2.5-ounce package of two.
Don Russell: ``Without a lot of aggressive advertising aimed at children, I don't think Grizzly Chomps will be around very long. Sure, the shape and sprinkles appeal to children, but the cake is rather dry and contains no filling. Even if this product is made with healthy ingredients, it just doesn't seem to have much going for it like most of Hostess' other tried and true products.''

"(Hello? Yo?) I'm Grizzly B, official spokesbear for Hostess Grizzly Chomps, the snack cake for cool bears everywhere. (CHOMP!)
Not bears who dance like this (old music), bears who dance like this! (funkier music)
Not bears that hibernate (bear sleeping under snowbank), ? bears that shred! (snowboarding bear)
Not bears who eat honey (bear with fingerful of honey is attacked by bees)
When cool bears want a snack, they eat Hostess Grizzly Chomps (CHOMP!)
Chocolate with sprinkles, mmm, tastes great. (CHOMP!)
I know 'cause I chomp every one! (CHOMP!)
See? Hostess Grizzly Chomps Cakes: I start 'em, you can finish 'em!"

A multi-grain snack launched in 1991.
Sun Chips were one of my favorite convenience store munchies on road trips. A bag of Sun Chips and a bottle of Snapple could tide me over for a couple of hundred miles!

Sun Chips were great, very crunchy and tasty.
