Food of the Eighties, Products Beginning with E

I've been asked a couple of times for information about what food was specific to the 80s, so I've started a small list which I'm sure will grow pretty rapidly. Cereals of the 80s have their own page.

This list contains items that were around before and after the 80s, I'm looking for stuff that was still popular in the 80s. So this list will contain items that were around in the 70s, and maybe earlier if they were still popular.

Please note! Zima and clear colas were a 90s fad, not an 80s fad! I know it might seem like a long time ago, but that's only because they tasted so awful and were marketed so heavily. (Somehow, Zima still persists, though no one has determined why).

E.L. Fudge
Made by Keebler. Little sandwich cookies shaped like Keebler elves with chocolate creme in the middle.
E.T. cereal
Horrible sugarless cereal with a picture of E.T. on it from the movie. I let my dad mix it with his cereals, kept the toy and stuck to the Lucky Charms.
Eagle Brand Potato Chips
Tastiest chips on the market. Ever. Company died sometime in the early 90's.
Easy Squeese Cheese
Cheese in a can that had diffrent flavors. American, Beacon, & Nacho.
Ecto Cooler
The green blob on Ecto Cooler was Slimer from the Ghostbusters...the drink was green which was a reference to Slimer
Eggo waffles
frozen waffles that you could heat up in the toaster, in the commercial someone was always trying to take someone else's waffle so they would say "Leggo my ego!", they still have them but they don't play the commercials
Enchrito-from Taco Bell
corn tortilla stuffed with refried beans,beef,onion. then rolled up and topped with red sauce,cheddar cheese and 3 sliced black olives.
Escort crackers
Oval-shaped crackers with a pleasantly buttery flavor. Less dry than Captain's Wafers, but unfortunately no longer available. They were great with a shrimp mold, as they didn't snap as easily as other crackers.
