We used to be a proper country.
Nabisco Minizza (1986-1987): Snack crackers made to look and taste like little pizzas. Each crispy, buttery "crust" was covered in tomato powder, oregano, basil, and real cheese. Debuted in October 1986, and sold primarily in Arizona, Texas, and Indiana. They were discontinued by summer of 1987
