Provisions Episodes 2.020 and 2.021

The Twin Peaks Sheriff's Department becomes cluttered as Agent Cooper, Sheriff Truman, Andy, and members of The Bookhouse Boys devote themselves to solving the puzzle of the Owl Cave painting.

In episode 27 (2.020, The Path to the Black Lodge), we see a white rectangular box among the debris accumulated in their frenzied research. 

The carton appears to be a box of Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies.

After searching for images of 1990s advertisements for Little Debbie products, I came across commercials depicting how the packaging appeared around the time Twin Peaks aired. 

The box, as we see it in Twin Peaks, seems to be upside down, but the text and shape of the red Little Debbie logo are fairly clear. An image from Pinterest depicts a box from the '80s with a similar packaging design.

The men have also consumed many donuts, judging by the boxes near the chalkboard.

There are only three donut boxes by episode 28 (Miss Twin Peaks, 2.021). This may be the beginning of a new collection of boxes. The second, stained box is obscured by a jar of clothespins in episode 27, making it difficult to determine if they are the same boxes from the previous episode. 

We can see what appears to be a partial loaf of bread or a large block of cake. There is also a bag of chips. The yellow bag with blue text and red coloring causes me to believe it may be a bag of Lays Potato Chips. The text on the bag is mostly obscured, but the words "Eat" and "One" are legible, tying to Lay's catchphrase, "Betcha can't eat just one." 

Attempting to find a matching image is proving impossible at the moment. I found one Lays commercial from 1992, which is the closest I can locate in the time frame. The bags seem to have been redesigned, and their slogan changed, by this time. 

Incidentally, Ruffles, also owned by the Frito-Lay company, a subsidiary of Pepsi-co, featured Kyle MacLachlan in their advertising in the UK in 1991. He portrays a character slightly inspired by Agent Cooper, even saying the crisps are, "Darn fine."

Returning to the Sheriff's Department, we can also see an open box of Crunch 'n Munch. 

Again, finding a precise match within the same time frame is difficult. I can't find a photo, but the box in a 1990 commercial closely resembles the packaging seen in the series. 

A box from 1993 closely resembles the box in the conference room as well.

If you like refreshments to accompany your viewings of Twin Peaks, perhaps you might consider one of the options listed here instead of the usual pie and coffee.
