I remember coming home from school and being so happy the Charles Chips man had made a delivery. They also had pretzels and later....cookies. I have seen them at Cracker Barrel as well.
My Dad and I used to eat Charles Chips together every time I would visit. We loved the jalapeno flavor. I am on a search to find that flavor again so I can send some to him for Christmas.
My Aunt got home delivery of Charles Chips and THEY WERE THE BEST CHIPS EVER! I remember going to her house and getting out the can filled to the top with these wonderful snacks. I WOULD PAY TOP DOLLAR IF THEY STILL DELIVERED!
OMG!MY MOM USED TO BUY THESE AND HAD THEM DELIVERED TO OUT DOOR!GREAT MEMORIES!
One of the best memories from my childhood! Absolutly NOTHING tastes like a Charles Chip! I found them at a specialty market called Fresh Market and they WERE IN THE TIN!! My husband thought I wa scrazy to spend that much money for potato chips (so I didn't sahre them with him!)I would do it again!
I think they had cookies that were those jam drop cookies. I loves those. The new tins you see in cracker barrel just aren't the same. but great that the company is still around!
does anyone remember the Jewel T man? they delivered too and had Strawberry Toothpaste with an aligator on the tubes.
I remember my parents having Charles Chips delivered...along with the long narrow boxes of chocolate chips and oatmeal raisin cookies. They also delivered one-gallon jugs of fruit punch and (I think) orange drink. Those were the days, the summers of the '70s!
I had that strawberry toothpaste from Jewel T!!! Forgot all about that until now.
I remember the Charlie Chips guy comming to refill our tins. Do you also remember the choc. and peanut butter candy they sold aroud christmas? It was better than Resses.
