Yep - we used to eat those all the time. They are VERY expensive right now. Last I saw they were in a catalog for the Vermont Country store.

Try that. If you can find them cheaper - let me know!

Poore Brothers is a big outfit in Texas, and like you, I found them by accident, on line.
Hey! I said, must be family? So I sent 'em a note and told them a little about our family, asking a few questions.
The reply went something like this: Poore Brothers thanks you for your inquiry concerning our products. We try to answer all consumer questions in a timely .....you get the idea.
Well, I told Barb, that was about the nicest F/U letter I've ever gotten. .....how nice. :banned:

WOW Mark! You keep jogging my beer soaked memory!
First you remind me of Wildwood, N.J. and Hunt's Pier...and now you remind me of a very fond childhood memory:
Waiting for the Charles Chip truck to drop off a beige and brown metal can full of delicious potato chips!
We always got Charles Chips when I was a kid growing up in Binghamton, N.Y.

Wow, they have them in the Publix grocery stores down here and they are usually cheaper then Cape Cod chips.

They are excellent though.
Reminds me of my home town, where everyone had a pail that you would take to the Granite State Potato Chip factory and refill it by scooping them right out of the bin. The smell of the place is still one of my favorite memories.
