Bagel Bites and Tony Hawks Pro Skater games go together like burgers and fries
Or in my case Bagel Bites and Twisted Metal. Used to head over to a friend's house after school where we played PS1 and his mom would break out the Bagel Bites. He was a big fan of car combat games, unfortunately by the time THPS came out he was getting ready to move away. :/
That ad with Tony Hawk returned to my memory
Oh man remember when Tony Hawk and other skaters/snowboarders would be on the Bagel Bites Commercials? Pure nostalgia

Wow that Zoom throwback… I haven’t thought of that show in twenty years! I miss when Zoom didn’t mean a meeting that could have been an email…
Come on and Zoom!
Learning how to make a pizza bagel is far more educational than anything I've gotten off of Zoom in the modern era

Bagel Bites! I remember eating these. It's been awhile since I have some, think I'll pick some up on my grocery store run this week.
Who knew Bagel Bites had such history? Keep up the awesome work, Weird History Food! I would love to see more videos on '80s/90s food & snacks
Enjoy the processed crap
It’s definitely worth trying them again, even if just for nostalgia. Get some Chef Boyardee while you’re at it, you’ll feel young again!
@@Sniperboy5551 Great idea, I think I will!
I sang the song in my head during your intro 🤣. "When pizzas on a bagel, you can eat pizza anytime.......". I ate (and burnt) my mouth on way too many on these yummy snacks in the late 80's/early 90's!
but they were never spicy, but only scorchin' up
These are just tiny Stouffer's French Bread pizzas.
The roof of my mouth just ran and hid.
What you said!
I've found that one of the best things about getting dentures is I haven't burned my mouth on pizza since.
You gotta squeeze em then, bite em sideways. I eat pizza upside down, that way the cheesey part hits your toung instead of crust.

Ahhh. the molten lava layer lurking under the solid cheese crust... memories...can anyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s taste anything anymore? I can't.
I can, but my tastebuds decide not to… worth it though
These came after the "French bread pizza" craze.

i still have such vivid memories of the tony hawk bagel bite ads. they made me want to eat bagel bites and i’ve genuinely loved them ever since
"if we're going to talk about the Hawk Man, of course we're going to play ska in the background goddamnit"
SO HERE I AM
Suddenly I'm back in 2002 watching Adult Swim and munching on Bagel Bites with Tony Hawk.

Those Tony Hawk soundtracks were friggin' MWAH! So good.

Thanks for being such a great promoter of skateboarding Tony Hawk!
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.
so true, nobody knows where to find a good bagel these days
@@mintykiwiI sure don't know either
As I just replied to another comment, pretty much any bread can be pizzafied.
@@djjackson-pickett7558 go to the bagel store idot
Okay grandpa 🤡
I almost never eat Bagel Bites or Pizza Rolls now and I rarely ate them as a kid, either. I'd much rather just eat real pizza.
I still cannot unsee the WKUK pizza bagel sketch whenever discussing pizza bagels
that song finally left my head 10 years ago, now it has returned.
I like to use English muffins, top it with marinara, lots of toppings and real cheese!
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.
I think that's the original going back to the 60's, maybe even earlier. Bagel Pizza wasn't invented, it evolved from English Muffin Pizza.
@@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.
Bagel bites are responsible for everyones first ever mouth burn
That or pizza rolls
Pretty sure Hot Pockets was mine
@@TheFlock83Pretty sure I didn't ask you 😂😂😂
@@theaterthug7My Respect📉
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 🥲
My granddaughter loved these when she was young.
Keeps it hundo to the onedo
We all did, and still do 😂
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!
If I had a hammer, I’d hammer in the morning, hammer in the evening, hammer at supper time - when pizza’s on a hammer, you can hammer anytime!
I've never had a bagel bite. Not a bagel person, so I never gave them a second glance. The situation will be remedied by tomorrow.
Bagel Bites are fantastic!
I haven't eaten them, either! I like a good bagel but Bagel Bites just look like they would be disappointing.
@@meedwards5 Let's try them!
@@meedwards5 Update: bagel bites are weak. literally just finished eating them after several years
@@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.
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
That is outrageous 😂
And here I thought I was the only person that does their own renditions of songs, they are always as ridiculous as can be!

5:10 Where can I get the seeds for the Bagel Bites plant?
0:24 Reminds me of that Community episode called "Pillows and Blankets" where they build all those forts on campus before they are in war mode.
That’s my favorite episode Ben!!!
@@sarahkatie7497 You have great taste! :)
Such a great episode!
Best snack/food of all time.
Bagel bites are like coke and pizza rolls are like Pepsi!
Bagel bites were my go to after school snack back when I was a kid, I was addicted.
Debut in 1985 but kids still eating it in 2024
hey hey adults too lol
I just bought some for the first time in decades. Dunno if I’ll get the nerve up to eat them. Nostalgia is dangerous
You're gonna be so bummed lol
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.
We used to get pizza bagels for lunch in elementary school back in the 80's.
2:51 I remember when pizza was starting to become THE food in the 80s and 90s, the one food that everyone would eat.
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.
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😂
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'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'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 hope Meatloaf is enjoying his well earned Darwin award.
"Pizza goin' down the sofa! Oh FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-You gonna need Tide!"
I'd love if Pork Roll could be discussed in a future episode
I'd like to see a video on Stoffers's Dinners, specifically the French pizza bread!
I miss these. They got rid of them in Canada. On sale, they made a nice snack that you could get microwaved in 90 seconds.
Game changer has always been cooking Bagel Bites in the oven on 350. Little crisp goes long way!
Bagel Bites look good
I’m 39 and I don’t think we ever bought these…I ring them up at the Wal-Mart I work at…perhaps I should get some!
It's a good day. My favorite narrator on weird history and weird history food. The universe is as it should be
the roof of my mouth shall never forget; or forgive!
Swear I saw “Hawking bites” and then looked at the picture and was like “thats not Stephen” 😂😂
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.
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.
One of the beautiful things about not having kids is that you miss a whole category of junk food.
eh, you come to realize that the junk food you had as a kid tasted better as a kid
I mean sometimes but am still a giant child at heart so there always something in the freezer
34 years on this planet and I've yet to ever have a bagel bites lol
I'm older and have never had one, either!
Honestly, you're not missing much.
I wouldn't try them now, they are incredible and I'll still eat them if they are in front of me, but it's entirely nostalgia, not quality.
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.
I never tried bagel bites until college, made me realize I missed out on a tasty lunch treat as a kid far better than totinos pizza rolls
I never realized Bites and Rolls were competitors. I always thought they were the same food by the same company in a different shape.
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
4:07 THIS IS AN ATTACK I FFF FEEL ATTACKED
A+ video!
LOVE IT! What an amazing video!
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.
I had some in the house since they were on sale at my grocery store a week ago.
I had Bagel Bites while watching this video.
6:49 "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" by Meatloaf was the #1 hit on my 14th birthday, my last birthday before graduating junior high.
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!
Funny thing, always get one or 2 bagel bites too hard to eat, after heating them up in microwave
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
I have literally never heard the jingle until now, and I was eating bagel bites in the 90s.
i don't thing I've ever even had a bagel bite. I've always been a pizza roll guy
Sometimes it is better to just walk away from things and go back to them later when you’re in a better frame of mind.
Canadian here. What's a Bagel Bite? We have pizza pockets
Same here in Australia . ♑️✍️🇳🇴🇦🇺
@@Friendship1nmillion Hey m8t. Lovely land Australia. Spent a year in NZ. Visited Aussie land few times. Good on ya.
A quick Google search says they were just discontinued in Canada in 2022. I remember pizza pockets being the things the poorest of the poors ate that you got from the foodbank, while the not so poors ate name brand Pizza Pops. Apparently Loblaws sells bagel bites under the name Chef Gusto, it's $4 for 9. Your funeral - can't imagine being impressed by them 😅
Watch the video
@@icankillbugs Pizza Pockets are twice the price of Pizza Pops my guy.
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.
Does anybody else remember the Cheeseburger Bagel Bites with the guy from Popeye in the ads?
Watching the geriatric men’s softball team brought back memories of 3 yr olds playing t-ball.
Tony is the Wayne Gretzky of skateboarding, get it right!
I am either because I am Filipino and those snacks never been in my life
No one can convince me they are good as they used to be.
I've never had one. This makes me want to go buy some.
As the oldest of three brothers, a Costco 48 pack would easily be gone in an afternoon snack.

Hot Pockets, Bagel Bites and Final Fantasy VII.. we were kings lads
9:30 he..hawked...bagel bites 😊
Was a fan of Bagel Bites then, and I wouldn't turn them down now. But I will easily admit I forgot all about the "popular" jingle and for good reason, it was not worth remembering. If you were/are a fan of the jingle then you were/are a fan of the jingle, I'm not one to hate on the opinions of others, but after hearing it again in this video I instantly realized why I did not remember it; the jingle was annoying and trife. However, I do remember the Tony Hawk endorsements. They were pretty funny, especially because of the seemingly contradictory aspect of Tony Hawk saying that he was not willing to share.
I loved pizza bagel bites and bagel dogs when I was a kid.
These are always tough.
