Local Potato Chip/Snack Food Brands

[6a]

Another from central PA: Middleswarth, especially the sour cream and onion. I can't say they had bad quality control, but the chips sure weren't consistent from bag to bag: sometimes a tart salty flavor with a hint of SC&O, and sometimes thickly coated with the SC&O powder.

Hey, that sounds like Grippo's. Sometimes even the size of the bags vary widely; it's almost like someone just tosses in a handful each time.  I will say the BBQ seasoning has a bit of a cult following to the point that they sell it as a spice.  A guy at work uses it in his fried chicken recipe and it is amazing.

Kansas City has Guy's chips.

Closest thing here is the Planters Nut Factory

Wachusett is the biggest local brand here, from the Fitchburg/Leominster area of Central Mass.

Very occasionally I find Humpty Dumpty (from Québec, I believe), usually north of here.  The further one goes into Maine, the further one gets into potato country, and the Maritimes/Québec potato chip haute cuisine begins to show.  They have an appreciation up there for chips and all things potato that greatly eclipses ours.

Not exactly "things potato", but I got hooked on Humpty Dumpty cheese puffs, on a long ferry trip out to Newfoundland.  The onboard vending machine was mispriced and giving me bargains on the cheese puffs, so I ate a lot of them on that trip. 

I think I've seen Humpty Dumpty products in the other end of Canada as well.

Aside from Humpty Dumpty, we also have Yum Yum.
