San Francisco is My Home

It’s what, exactly?

Author: kris, Category: News, Shopping

I have a friend who periodically stops in the middle of conversations to say aloud “It is so awesome that we live in the Bay Area. Because this is the home of It’s Its.”

It sounds like he’s being paid for product placement (or I am) but nope. I think what fascinates him (and me) is that there is something actually being made in our part of the world. We know lots of things are grown here. And lots of things are imported to here. (Sometimes we import the same things we grow, but that’s a rant I’ll save for another time.) But nothing comes near It’s It for gooey manufactured goodness, and we are its hometown. It’s especially exciting since Mother’s Cookies, a longtime Oakland brand which made the best oatmeal cookies not actually baked by a mom, was recently driven out of the area by rising prices, moving their factories to one of the cheaper middle states. Possibly Iowa.

(If you are wondering, my friend also used to interrupt conversations to muse on how lucky we are to live near Mother’s Cookies. No more, alas.)

So if you are in the area and looking for dessert, something really messy that will get all over your hands and your date’s sweater, look no farther than the It’s Its waiting patiently in the freezers of every corner store.
