Naw, you can get Humpty Dumpty in the NE US (maybe just New England, but I have seen them.)
As far as big brands go, give my Lay’s salt and vinegar. For more local flavor, I love Cape Cod Sea Salt and Vinegar. I like Herr’s BBQ, but their salt and vinegar…welll…sucks. There is almost NO vinegar (well, vinegar flavor, since most chip companies jsut use flavor and some kind of cheap acid.) At any rate, Herr’s S+V jsut taste like plain chips to me. Good by a ‘plain chip’ standard, yes, but not by any means a salt and vinegar chip.
I am originally from Massachusetts, and I have to agree that Cape Cod chips are the best I’ve ever had. I currently live in DC, and it’s nearly impossible to get them here because Utz has a stranglehold on the market. Utz Kettle Chips are pretty good, but they just can’t compete with Cape Cod.
Oh, neat, thanks! But that’s a bit expensive, once you factor in shipping and everything. I’d rather just have a local source to buy a bag every week or two. I guess I’m better off without my Zapp’s… or am I?
My favs are Zapp’s Cajun Crawtator or Steak Flavor (Limited Edition).
I discovered Zapp’s when I worked as an oilfield crewboat captain out of Louisiana. It was a pleasant surprise to find them in Publix Supermarket in Panama City Beach.
