Description
Waffle-stamped potato chips in a red(?) box, their ad campaign centered on how they were less greasy than regular bag chips and would show the results of the "Napkin Blot Test" to illustrate. Great potatoey snacks, Munchos is the closest thing to compare them to now. Wish these were still around!

I miss CHIPPO'S TOO!!!!!
My parents are always saying, "See you around like a Chippo." They said the chips were kind of like a pretzel or something, but can't remember who made them - does anyone know?
Out of all the 70's foods, I miss Chippo's the most! Pringles had nothing on them!!
Muncho's are not a bad substitute. But I will always remember Chippo's. Sitting around the family room with my mom sharing a box watching tv. Ah youth...
From what I can remember about Chippo's, they were made by either Betty Crocker (I'm thinking I remember seeing the red spoon ), or General Mills.
OH YEAH,CHIPPOS WERE THE BEST!
Here is a reference to the TV commercial for Chippos
They were the BEST!!!!

13) CHIPPOS POTATO CHIPS BY BETTY CROCKER: woman takes group on tour of kitchen to demonstrate new chip―Chuck McCann is part of tour―celebrity
Chippos were the greatest snack! Very salty. I loved them!
I miss Chippo's too! I remember going to Granny's house where she would keep them in a plastic container in her pantry. YUM! I still crave them to this day!
I loved Chippo's too! The closest product I have found is Muncho's by Frito Lay.
I loved them two. Pringles are close, but just not quite right.
Munchos has the texture, but the flavor is no where near close to Chippos.
Aside from a different texture, which was part of the appeal of Chippos, Tato Skins (unflavored) is almost the exact flavor of Chippos.
Thank God I found you guys, I was starting to think I made up Chippo's! No one in my family remembers them but me, and I loved them. Dipped in Lipton Onion Dip, they were awesome.
MAN! Loved these! That red box seemed to be present at every social gathering in the 70's! So cool that they're remembered with such waffley potato love. Now off to search the internet for a WayBack Machine so I can go get me some Chippo's, an eight-pack of Frostie Root Beer and a giant Chocolite candy bar. Yeah, I know, but a person can dream, right?
I remember when I was a kid I'd spend my own pocket money on box of chippos, and then work my way through the entire box while reading Sherlock Holmes.
I live in England now, and though they don't have the same shape at all, there's a reconstituted potato snack called 'hula hoops' that brought waves of Chippo memories flooding back. If it only it could bring back Chippos too.
Chippos were my favorite food in the 70's. A must have for sleep overs. They were the best chips, and I was beginning to think that I was the only one who remembered them.
I loved Chippos. Does anyone still make them anymore? I loved the cartoon illustration on the back of the box that showed how the chips were made.
I am still craving Chippos. I could eat a whole box. Wish Betty Crocker would bring them back. They just melted in your mouth. Munchos and Pringles are close but no cigar! The Willy Wonka Scrunch bar was my favorite candy bar. Oh to have a Scrunch bar and a box of Chippos!!!!!! Maybe when I get to heaven.
I like to eat Chippoos!
Yes, Yes, I also remember and loved Chippos. They were from Betty Crocker and were hyped as being "less greasy than regular chips". I remember them well from 8th grade. They were the best !!
I remembered that they tasted great, came in a foil bag, and they were 'flash fried'?
