PASSOVER EXCITEMENT TURNS TO DISAPPOINTMENT — Regular readers know I like Facebook. I saw several new Passover products from Manischewitz pop up on my news feed that looked interesting, specifically Matzo Pizza and S’more Matzo Kit. Now I’ve made matzah pizza many, many times and don’t really need a kit, but I had never considered making matzah s’mores. I decided it was time to tour some of my favorite Passover sections at our local grocery stores. I won’t mention names because I visited some very loyal Chronicle advertisers, but I couldn’t find what I was looking for. (Don’t worry, I didn’t walk out empty handed!) Now I was wondering, am I too late? Did they sell out? So … I contacted Manischewitz to see if these products are available anywhere in the area. To my disappointment, when the customer service rep did a zip code search, it came up empty for the new products. But, she told me, if our readers ask for these products and other new Manischewitz products in the future (should work for other brands as well), maybe these stores will order them next year. I’m going to put in product requests. I hope you do, too!
