Wally Amos Autograph on 25th Anniversary Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookie Box

Description: Wally Amos Autograph on 25th Anniversary Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookie Box This is a Wally Amos autographed, Famous Amos 25th Anniversary Chocolate Chip Cookie box that I got while employed at Keebler Company who had bought the brand in 1998 when it acquired President Baking Company. Wally Amos was invited to Keebler Company Corporate Headquarters in Elmhurst, Illinois on June 15, 2000 for the 25th Anniversary of Famous Amos Cookies. I met Wally and he autographed this box. Box is signed Aloha Jeffrey WAM 6-15-00 This box has been n my possession since that time. "The company would change hands multiple times. Bass Brothers sold its 51% stake a year after buying it. In 1987, the Baer family of Denver acquired the business, endeavoring to expand supermarket distribution of the cookies, but soon after, private equity firm the Shansby Group purchased the brand. In 1992, the company was acquired by President Baking Company for $61 million, and when, in 1998, Keebler purchased President, it also acquired the cookie brand. Three years later, in 2001, the Kellogg Company purchased Keebler, and Famous Amos would be a Kellogg brand until Ferrero, the makers of Nutella, purchased Keebler from Kellogg in 2019. Over the course of multiple new owners, Famous Amos cookies ultimately lost out on some of the quality that had been tantamount to Wally Amos' success. By 1999, he told the New York Times, ”Somehow or another caramel coloring had been added and I don't know why that was." A reliance on shelf-stable ingredients — and an attempt to position the brand as an affordable alternative — left a bitter taste in the founder's mouth. So much so that when Keebler contacted Amos about returning as a spokesperson, he pushed back, refusing to come on board unless Keebler reverted back to the original recipe. The company agreed and thus secured the founder's famous face."
