This oral history of Bagel Bites chronicles the creation of one of mankind's greatest achievements

I was in high school and college in New England during the 80’s and I remember the jingle quite well. I’ve never eaten a Bagel Bite, however. I’ve never even been offered one. I think my mother would have rather died than buy something like that at the store.

We liked our english muffin mini-pizzas. Split and toast a Thomas’ english muffin, spread on pizza sauce and add Kraft singles (eat what doesn’t fit). Return to the toaster oven and broil until the cheese melts. It was one of the first things I remember cooking for myself.
