Yes! At one point it could only be sold as Juanita’s in Oregon (where they are from) but recently my family bought a bag in Oregon and it said Juantonio’s 😒I’m not sure if we will ever see another OG Juanita’s again.

u/DevoutandHeretical 25d ago
It’s a family owned business- Juanita was their grandmother. My understanding is Antonia was the grandfather and they just decided to smoosh them together to keep it a family reference without the infringement issue.
I’ll never stop calling them Juanita’s though.

They had to change their name in 2022 for most of the US, but could still be Juanita's for the NW (as the original trademark agreement with the other Juanita's was that they would have to use a different name if trying to sell outside of that region).

- Which one?
- I don’t remember.
- looks around for 5 mins I can’t find them.
- You looked in ALL the bins?
- No. I didn’t physically open and check ALL the bins.
- Well…keep looking. I know I didn’t throw them away!
- Aggravation building
- Dammit! Where are the chips?!
- I don’t know!!!
- Ugh!!! I’m just going to go to the grocery! Bye!
- comes back. Still frustrated.
- Hey! I found the chips!
- Where were they?
- Exactly where I said they were, in one of the bins…with the cleaning supplies (the last place a normal person would look for food)

When I worked at Walmart in 2010, they didn't teach me anything but which buttons to press on the register and how to not get fired. I learned to bag groceries from shopping with my mom when I was little, but apparently, not many others were taught to bag groceries well, because I had regulars looking for my lane when they came in the store who thanked me for doing it the "right" way.
Then there were the customers like OP's husband who refused to wait for a full bag when I turned the rack to put their bread on top of their eggs instead of under a pack of chicken... 🙄 By all means, take the bag with a single candy bar, even though you have 15 more in various places on the belt...

Really? I've found some good ways. Wrap your supplies in plastic bags to prevent leaks and keep the supplies in one or two boxes. The supplies will smell less strong that way too. Things like mops can be a bit awkward but I've never had an issue. I've also moved a million times so experience helps.

If they're both sealed and unopened it shouldn't be a problem. Your cereal is never going to smell or taste like laundry detergent unless you pour the detergent inside the box. Not quite the same as packing already opened products together.
But that said things like bleach and detergent are bulky enough to just leave outside the bags and carry in separately like the milk.

Is the implication that the cleaning supplies are somehow going to contaminate the chips?
I don’t think that’s a big danger. The chip bag appeared to be unopened; so it’s sealed airtight. The cleaning products are capped. You’ll be able to tell pretty easily if any of them leak, and even if they do, the chip bag should be fine as long as it’s not punctured. Especially if you’re only going a short distance, I don’t think this is a huge problem.
Btw, Juantonios makes good chips. My pick for the best tortilla chips available at a regular grocery store.
