Striped Chips Ahoy! were awesomely awful
Not to be gross/scatological, but could “Here comes the Fudge!” also be used in regards to certain other striped things?
Remember Striped Chips Ahoy? A part of America’s never-ending quest to blimp up to even grander porcine proportions, they were a 1980s alternate edition of the beloved Chips Ahoy! brand. A confection forerunner of stuffed-crust pizza, they sought to cram more calories into a diabetes-delivery device. I remember them quite fondly, right alongside the long-defunct Fruit Roll-Ups Bars.
I’ve passed over this ad a number of times in looking through old comic books, and I never noticed that the stages of cookie construction could be clipped out and made into a flip book. Another excuse to destroy a perfectly good comic book — great. Mutilate while you masticate!

I’m thinking that “here comes the fudge” is a riff on Flip Wilson’s “here comes the judge”.
Perhaps the new generation knows it as a catchphrase from Mock Trial with Judge Reinhold.
I remember how excited I was when I saw this ad. I thought “what an awesome idea”. However, the experience didn’t live up to the hype for me. In fact, I like plain old Chips Ahoy better than the striped ones.
They were certainly overkill. How do you improve on a cookie that’s consumed not one at a time, but by the sleeve?
Consumed by the bag, sir, by the bag.
