Madhouse Munchies BBQ chips
I just picked up a small bag of these yestrday at the King Arthur Flour store in VT. One of the better chips I've had in a long time. There's nothing like kettle cooked chips in any variety.

Footnote: I work right next to a Frito Lay plant in Connecticut. I now crave chips 24/7. My cross to bear I guess... :roll:

Cape Cod Sea Salt & Vinegar (but the Cracked Pepper sounds great too)

No one has mentioned how they rough-up the roof of your mouth. Ouch, but hard to stop eating.

Cape Cod

went to the supermarket at noontime and they had every Cape Cod flavor except Dark Russet (sold out- who told?). I stood there and studied a really long time, and thought back on what you all liked and decided to give BBQ a try. I am pretty fussy on my BBQ chips, so will give them a try later on.

Had a bad experience with Jalapeno Krunchers one night- drank a lot (read that A LOT)of scotch and ate a whole bag of Krunchers. Later that night, I put the Krunchers back in the bag, along with some of the scotch. Not pretty.

Man, that was a long time ago. I'm getting old.

Hope it wasn't an aged single malt scotch...that would have been a real waste if it was.

oh, yea. I try not to type while I eat chips- wreaks havoc with the keyboard... Still prefer dark russet, but these are ok. I like the slight smoky taste and that they are NOT sweet, like Ruffles BBQ (ick). They have a nice zing that slightly burns the back of your throat if you don't have anything to drink. Would go nicely with a Long Trail.

jeez, now i want some potato chips.

This is just as bad as when you see something advertised on TV and then you just HAVE to have it!

I was really susceptible to that when I was pregnant...

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:
www.aroundmaine.com said:
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.

Brian - thanks for the info!! King Cole was a small brand, but it was a Maine brand, so we always bought their products.

When I was a kid in the sticks of western Maine, in the summer time if it was hot, before starting out on my paper route I used to buy a can of Fanta orange soda (15 cents) and bag of King Cole BBQ chips (a dime) and for a quarter I was a happy boy.

Man it was great growing up in the 1890s.......right guys??? :wink:

As opposed to the part of western Maine that isn't the sticks?

WOW! :eek: You are A LOT older than I pictured you would be.... I would love to see you ski. I forgot about Fanta. I drank that too, at least a decade earlier, but in the 20th century instead of 19th century...

All this talk about potato chips made me hungry enough, but I also have fond memories of Fanta.

My parents took me on vacation to Costa Rica in 1985-1986 and I really liked the grape fanta in the 2 liter long neck glass bottle, yum 8).

Fanta has made a comeback around here, but grape is nowhere to be found :cry:

As far as chips are concerned I like Herrs.
