{"product_id":"snacks-a-canadian-food-history-9780887557996","title":"Snacks: A Canadian Food History","description":"\"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janis Thiessen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Manitoba Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780887557996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJanis Thiessen\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Professor of History and Associate Director of the Oral History Centre at the University of Winnipeg.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Manitoba Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":41180644180083,"sku":"9.78089E+12","price":36.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_bf30a180-1e89-4c6c-9d7e-15c6ab987284.jpg?v=1703694768","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/snacks-a-canadian-food-history-9780887557996","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
