Who new that ketchup chips were [almost] solely a Canadian thing? Well, I did, but perhaps you didn't.
Some Americans like them too, but not all Americans would make the trip from Virginia to Niagara Falls, Ontario for them, like this Father and son.

They bought 40 bags that, apparently, were meant to last the year.
It made the news, as in the above article and in this TV news video.
This particular Canadian doesn't prefer them, however. If I am going to consume flavoured chips, which I do on occasion, they will almost surely be sour cream and onion. Every now and then, I might grab a salt and vinegar if I want my eyes to water, but mostly I stick to plain, ole potato chips.
I am not one for chips either.
ReplyDeleteWow those guys must have had a few other stops for other reasons...which of course wouldn't make the news. Aunt Betty lives in Buffalo or something like that. Me...also the plain, or the Sour Cream, but this week I'm going against doctor's advice and eating barbecue flavored chips. The amount of salt is directly proportional to the amount of swelling I get in my feet. So I do try to cut it down...salt intake is hard.
ReplyDeleteI do like the types of chips that you like. We have Bay seasoning chip here. I avoid chips, though, because they are not good for you and hard to eat only a few.
ReplyDeleteI like the odd Dill Pickle, but not too many and not too often. My preference is for Covered Bridge plain. a good old time chip. Manufactured in New Brunswick. Available at Bulk Barn!
ReplyDeleteI go for the classic plain ones too.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed by the expertise in chip selection around here.
ReplyDeleteWe eat Boulder potato chips from Sam's Club. I have NEVER heard of ketchup chips, but you do have me curious.
ReplyDeleteKetchup chips are ok once in a while. Not my favourite though.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bizarre idea! No ketchup chips for me, thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteI actually don't mind tomato sauce in almost anything I don't find appealing. But most of my mates would say it is gross having tomato sauce on anything though
ReplyDeleteI've had ketchup potato chips. I like them.
ReplyDeleteAnew flavor to me. Never seen them before.
ReplyDeleteI almost never eat chips, and never flavored chips.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of them.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on, and stay safe.
In my neck of the woods, because we are rather somewhat kindred spirits to the Canadians, ketchup chips are extremely popular here. I do not like ketchup much at all, however, so on the rare instances I eat chips, I prefer sour cream and onion, or vinegar like you…. or plain. However, I am not a chip connoisseur of any merit either.
ReplyDeleteI had often hoped that there would be made a “curry” chip…. that MIGHT change my interest! :)

I’ve never heard of them but I’m not surprised since I have seen many strange flavors in my travels. I’m a sour cream and onion chip man myself.
ReplyDeleteSour cream and onion, mostly, but salt and vinegar with chicken sandwiches. Ketchup? Nah.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of them. I love salt and vinegar or sour cream and onion chips, but I'm even fonder of Nacho Cheese doritos or crunchy cheetos. I can't even have them in the house! In Scotland there were haggis flavored chips but I didn't try any.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of ketchup chips.
ReplyDeletePotato chips are not my go-to snack and I probably would not try ketchup flavor, like you much preferring sour cream and onion -- or barbecue flavor. BUT a wavy potato chip dipped into some ketchup and mustard mixed and slightly warmed (or not) is delicious. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI don't even like ketchup much so that's a hard pass from me.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of such chips, but since I don't eat them, that's not surprising. They sound awful to my ears, though. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like sour cream and onion, too!
