Herr's Heinz Ketchup Chips

When I was small and I visited my cousins in Toronto, I would always be sure to smuggle several small bags of Hostess's Ketchup Chips back with me. The first time I saw the chips, I was both overjoyed and affronted: how could such revolutionary potato chips exist and yet be unavailable to me across the border? Eventually I forgot about the chips, but at Pathmark I saw a whole rack of these. And they're not bad! Unlike the Hostess chips, these are ruffled, but there's the same freeze-dried, sodium-laced tomato taste I remember so fondly. Whenever I mention kethcup chips to anyone, they act like the concept disgusts them, but if you've ever eaten ketchup with your french fries then it's really not that much of a stretch.

    I don't see why Lay's hasn't just cut out the chips entirely and started selling shakers full of ketchup crystals.

    Pure flavour.

    Yeah this is one chip flavor for which I will excavate the bottom of the bag.

    Hostess was rebranded as Lay's. It's all the same chips, but no munchie characters.

    I also really liked the Dill Pickle flavor. Pringles has that flavor now, but it's a lot less tart.

    I put mayo on my fries, so where my damn mayo chips? Maybe that's sour cream and onion?
