Canisters will be on the shelf starting in July for a limited time

Hey, '90s kids -- if  you were a fan of Cheez Balls and Cheez Curls, prepare to get a cheesy grin on your face. Planters is bringing the snacks back.

The company said in a press release that ever since it discontinued the snacks 12 years ago, some fans had started petitions, created online groups and written letters begging for those iconic canisters to be back in stores.

Planters plans to send some of the most passionate petitioners special deliveries of the products.
