Every modern snack food is a derivative of trail mix, which means that all snack makers, on some level, are related to Euell Gibbons. This dude did a Grape-Nuts commercial in the seventies where he said, “Ever eat a pine tree? Many parts are edible.” In general, people ended up making fun of old Euell for that and it earned him the lifelong label of wood-eater. But from what I see these days in grocery and convenience stores it seems like there’s a crapload of wood-eaters out there.
