Snacks is a history of Canadian snack foods, of the independent
producers and workers who make them, and of the consumers who can't
put them down. Janis Thiessen profiles several iconic Canadian
snack food companies, including Old Dutch Potato Chips, Hawkins
Cheezies, and chocolate maker Ganong. These companies have
developed in distinctive ways, reflecting the unique stories of
their founders and their intense connection to specific locations.
These stories of salty or sweet confections also reveal a history
that is at odds with popular notions of "junk food." Through
extensive oral history and archival research, Thiessen uncovers the
roots of our deep loyalties to different snack foods, what it means
to be an independent snack food producer, and the often-quirky ways
snacks have been created and marketed. Clearly written, extensively
illustrated, and lavish with detail about some of Canadians'
favorite snacks, this is a lively and entertaining look at food and
labour history.
