Manhattan Snackin'

January 4, 2007 5:08 AM

Where can I find these snacks in Manhattan?

I'm looking for a store that sells "Skippy Snack Bars", preferably in Manhattan, possibly in greater NYC. This isn't viral marketing or anything, but a inside-joke present for a friend.

Thanks!

Best answer: I googled and found plenty of places that'll sell it mail order. Is your timeframe such that you can't wait that long?

This strikes me as the sort of thing that would be tough to be CERTAIN of finding in a Manhattan grocery store, but I would go out on a limb and bet they would have them at the Target in Brooklyn.

(p.s. is that the WORST URL EVAR or what?)

Oh man, now I need to try them. I love all things peanut buttery.

Last year when Keebler had those double-stuffed peanut butter cookies I couldn't get enough of them. Now they no longer make them. Bummer.

Response by poster: Thanks, guys!

devbrain, well, it's a casual inside-joke, so I didn't think of getting it shipped to me... but good point. So I googled around as well and I found that Amazon sells it -- but through Gristedes! I think I'll check a store.

And camworld -- apparently the bars aren't that great. Search for "skippy snack bars" on this page.
