Grippo BBQ: the best chip you've never had.

Very bored. just dickin around on the internet and thought I would share my love of a town favorite potato chip called GRIPPO'S. They sell them in bags like above and also in 1.5 lb cardboard boxes.

Here is a story about how good they are:

A freind of mine joined the army, while in boot camp he was relocated to Georgia: far from his home town in Evansville IN. As a care package we shipped him some SKI (a local mountian dew type drink) and a Box of BBQ GRIPPO's. You can't buy GRIPPO's just anywhere, they are made in Ohio and are shipped in a few select citys in the mid-west.

A few weeks later he came back to visit. He had a plan. While enjoying his box o' chips at boot camp he let a few other guys try them. they were in love. They begged him to bring back some. So he rented a van while in town and bought fourty boxes of BBQ Grippo's and loaded up and drove back down. Sold them all, paid for his van rental and then some...He did this three more times and made about $100 bucks.

And now I know what you must be thinking: ONLY $100! Fuck that!
Thats what I said to him, and he said: "I just wanted to spread the love of BBQ Grippo's"

And that is what I'm doing here.

Any hometown favorites for you guys?

    I do not like BBQ chips either.

    all dressed and salt & vinegar are the only flavours in my book

    I'm generally not a chip eater but I did get more or less addicted to Lay's Bistro Gourmet Applewood BBQ & Smoked Cheddar Potato Chips. I wept sodium rich tears when they stopped selling those in my area.

    I like Red Rock Deli chips, and kettle, I also like salt and vinegar, not many people do apparently, also me like salt and vinegar chips extends to kettle's variety, and they are really strong, basically if you ever felt stingy enough to not want to offer people potato chips you would buy those. No one wants them. Except me.

    Sure, I like Dill and S&V chips too, and I really don't like BBQ chips...but Grippo's have a taste all there own.
    Kind of spicy kind of sweet.

    On the topic of hometown favorites, there's a pizza place here on Long Island (they've got, I think, 6 locations around the island) called Albert's.

    They have a square pie recipe that is amazing, with the sauce over top of the cheese. I wish I knew their sauce recipe because I would put it on everything.

    Grippo was a man that had a dream: to make the best potato chip he could, and then make it better by giving it a tasty, spicy additive. That additive is BBQ, and from that, the Grippo's Rule came to be. The rule clearly states the following:
    My BBQ is greatest - there is no better.
