Your favorite potato chips?

[thetrailboss]

I was heading home last night and got a real craving for my favorite chips....Humpty Dumpty Dill Chips.

Some of you Northern New Englanders might know about them...back in the day, they were the best tasting ones IMHO. Out of Northern Maine--they had some great flavors including Sour Cream and Onion, Salt and Vinegar, Barbecue (like REAL barbecue), my Dill, and even KETCHUP. :blink: The latter were REALLY overpowering...you could only eat a few.

So Lay's is now doing the flavor thing as well...their' Dill Chips were pretty good I will say. 8)

I also like the Cape Cod Chips, but they don't have as many varieties. Your favorite snack chips?

Pretzels are tasty as well...:beer:

Not around here. If we're meeting at an outing, remind me to pick you up a bag.

Cape Cod cracked pepper and sea salt.


Tough to keep a bag around me without loosing the contents.

MMMmmmmmm - Humpty Dumpty chips - I grew up on them and King Cole chips. I wonder if they are they still around?

I am a big fan of dill. I would like to try them humpty dumpties!

Now if you will allow me to hijack your thread for a minute........If I could just get chochodiles back on the east coast my life would be complete. I'm sure I've mentioned my affinity for chochodiles here before ......
mmmmmm chochodiles

Wasn't King Cole in a tin instead of a bag? I love wacky flavored chips, even the Ketchup ones, but Lostone is right, you gotta be a tough nut to eat a hog bag of those. Now that I am all grown up, I prefer Cape Cod. I like the dark russet.

Clinton had Utz chips imported to the White House.

Basic Ruffles potato chips are good for me. Nothing better than fried salt...

Cape Cod Dark Russet. Mmmmmmmm....

 

[skijay]

Herr's Heinz Ketchup chips
Miss Vickie's Sea Salt & Vinegar chips

 

[kickstand]

mmmmm.....Humpty Dumpty.....

the Utz chips are pretty good, too. I think they have them at some Stop-N-Shops. I saw them last Friday at the big one up in Danvers. Wachusett chips are pretty darn good, too.

Wasn't King Cole in a tin instead of a bag?

Absolutely correct! KIng Cole chips came in a big metal tub that held about 4-5 bags' worth of chips. Very old-fashioned, very Northern New England.

I did a Google search on King Cole potato chips yesterday and got nothing, so I assume they are long gone......

Google will almost always find something if you ask nice enough

From this page on www.aroundmaine.com about Humpty Dumpty chips:

In the sixties, in a wave of consolidation, Tom's from Georgia bought Circus Time. Bachman's bought King Cole, then the leading brand, and eliminated the King Cole name. "One of the stupidest things they could have done," says Thacher.

Good work, Detective B. Lunk!
