Who remembers THESE potato chips from back in the day?

Interesting, Laura Scudder was the originator of sealed bag packaging for potato chips, to keep them fresh!

and the last plant was closed down.

shelves in the past ... long while.

you remember Cawleys or Weavers.

Imagine: weekly potato chip delivery to your home!

they were luscious

I still have a mini Charles Chips can, and I recently saw big cans at World Market. I may have to get some for the sake of nostalgia.

I may have to go get a can. World Market also has the best price on Walker’s shortbread cookies - a box of 20 of the little 2-to-a-pack shortbread fingers for $10.99. I first tasted Walker’s shortbread in 1974, in Edinburgh, and, IMO, it is the best brand. I’ve tried many others, and nothing compares.

The Vermont Country Store catalog is a hoot to look thru. Lots of familiar old products, and tons of stuff I’ve never heard of.

I used to love Lanz of Austria flannel nightgowns, and wore out my last one years ago - washed so many times you could practically see thru it. I was very excited to find them in the VCS catalog, and ordered one right away. Sad to say, the quality was no longer the same - the flannel was stiff and harsh, and the neckline was badly asymmetrical. The label was still Lanz of Austria, but now made in China. Back it went.

to have them delivered weekly, so I preferred to be at her house than her at mine. They later got the choc chip cookies too. And they had a case of Coke always. My parents didn’t have junk/snack food or sodas in the house, so I’d indulge at hers.

Many decades later I was in the small town where I grew up and visited my friend’s mom, then in her 90’s. The house was exactly how it had been, with only the old Philco console TV replaced. She served me tea on pretty cups with saucers, put out little biscuits, and I said, “I remember everything, even the same family photos on the piano. You used to keep cases of coke on the floor there in the pantry, and that was a serious allure to hanging out here.”

She got up, went to the pantry door, and said “I still do” while opening it!

I loved visiting my aunt.

Her favorite was the ketchup-flavored chips. They were pretty good, but I didn't like them nearly as much as she did.

I remember them.

Sheesh, way to rain on my parade lol ...

don't think I've seen potato chips.

that was in all the grocery stores. The kind without stabilizers where the oil was at the top and that you had to stir. Also had no sugar, and they even had a salt-free version.

Naturally, all us kids hated natural peanut butter

Love it with an apple.

'choke' sandwich lol ...

And Berger cookies.

Omg they are delicious.

Can't eat them now they would send my blood sugar level through the roof.

We definitely bought the Laura Scudder peanut butter

The symbol in the ads for the chips included a blue owl.

A DU’er has a blue owl icon and I get triggered and crave Wise tater chips when I come by his posts.

to compensate for the noise I make while
eating Laura Scudders Potato chips,
the noisiest chips in the world"

Although the bags are so familiar thought I could probably still buy them! I don’t keep up!

I have heard this commercial many times.
After all, the last time I heard this was about 55
years ago.
