Great Canadian Foods: Ketchup Chips

Re: Anti-Canadian Content (Laughing With Us, Not At Us) Pt. 3

Don't they have ketchup chips in the States? They're a little messy but not bad...

I guess not...

From Great Canadian Foods: Ketchup Chips Canada

But in America? You can't GIVE these things away.

A number of leading US chip manufacturers have tried to offer this delicious ketchup treat, and every time they fall flat on their face. A few smaller US snack companies produce them, but the average American consumer is going to have to special order/go on a manhunt if they ever want to taste it's deliciousness without travelling across the border.

Do you have any thoughts on this mystery? Why do Americans have no interest in our most-beloved potato chip flavour? And when was the last time you bit into a tasty ketchup chip?

The closest thing we have in the U.S. that has some significant distribution, though I've never seen it myself:

LAY'S? Garden Tomato & Basil Flavored Potato Chips

It's probably on its way to being discontinued

So no poutine, no ketchup chips, and weak beer. How do you guys survive?

If it wasn't for our new food products like Pretzel M&M's and Double Down sandwiches, I don't think we could have made it to December

I live in the middle of NOWHERE and there are two different brands of ketchup chips in our local grocery store. One is their own brand. LOL.

Re: Anti-Canadian Content (Laughing With Us, Not At Us) Pt. 3

Oh yes, it must be these people:

Herr's Products - Ketchup Potato Chips

I've never seen their brand in my area, even when I lived in Miami. But they do have distributors in Florida

 

[Cat Dancer]

Re: Anti-Canadian Content (Laughing With Us, Not At Us) Pt. 3

Yeah, I think that is one of them.

Re: Anti-Canadian Content (Laughing With Us, Not At Us) Pt. 3

Be sure to try their new steak flavor chips

Herr's Products - Kansas City Prime Potato Chips

I'm sure they would go great with veggie burgers

So there is hope for the US after all.

Now, if we can just get poutine south of the border... next step, Moosehead beer... then mukluks and tuques and then they'll be just like Canadians: Nirvana!

lol Don't forget the dialect coaches to teach them all the proper way to say "about"

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Re: Anti-Canadian Content (Laughing With Us, Not At Us) Pt. 3

Don't worry. One step at a time. I hadn't forgotten aboot teaching them how to speak English.

Who knew adding ketchup to chips could be so unpatriotic for us Americans.

Thanks David, those are great!! We're a proud, yet not not boastful nation of hosers. :lol:

Now, if we can just get poutine south of the border... next step, Moosehead beer

Moosehead is available as is Molson Canadian in Wal-Mart. The other day at Sam's Club, they were sampling maple syrup from Granby, Quebec and tomatoes in Florida routinely come from hydroponic growers in Canada.

I won't even mention the Quebec presence of Speedos in Lauderdale and Hollywood FL

TD Bamks are everywhere from New York all the way down the Eastern Seabord to Florida, as is RBC (Royal Bank) and Bank of Montreal owns Harris Bank in Chicago.

We are slowly, but surely taking over...

And TD (Toronto-Dominion) Bank bought my credit union. Fortunately, I was already in the process of switching banks

Even in Canada most of us try to avoid TD Bank.
