“Chex Mix fans have been calling for the return of the bagel chip for years and we knew when the time came that we needed to bring it back in a big way,” said Stephanie Lensing, brand experience manager for Chex Mix.

They say that everything good can't last forever, but that doesn't mean that great things can't come back. Such is the case with the bagel chip, once the favored and a widely beloved component of Chex Mix. Until one day, a decade ago, Chex Mix decided to take it away.

Per the official Chex Mix Twitter page, bagel chips were removed from the selection of salty goodies in 2009. However, no one is entirely sure why the chips were removed, as General Mills has never given a reason. Even more puzzling, bagel chips appear to be a fan favorite among Chex Mix lovers.

Snack brand Chex Mix has collaborated with Sir Mix-A-Lot on a track that plays on the rapper's most famous song. The lyrics from “Baby Got Back” were updated to highlight bagel chips, as General Mills brings them back into its original Chex Mix.

With New Year's Eve celebrations around the corner, I'm turning to the party food of my childhood: Chex Mix. The recipe was created by the Ralston-Purina Company in the early 1950s to move boxes of its signature cereals Wheat Chex and Rice Chex. There was no corn variety at the time.

It's corn Chex, wheat Chex, pretzels, rye chips, bagel chips and mini breadsticks combined with a unique seasoning blend for a one-of-a-kind snack.
