Tangy, spicy, potato chips that were from 1970's. On my weekly walk to "The Pied Piper" store, in Massachusetts I would have to get a bag for my Mom. She loved these.

I LOVED these chips! They went great with an ice cold Welch's Grape Soda on a hot 70's summer day!

My cousins Dad used to get them somewhere in CT because he lived in New Britain CT. This was back in the early 70's. Boy were they good. Are they still in business?

OMG - I loved those chips! Can you get them anywhere? I'd buy a case. I used to get them at the corner store and eat the whole bag by myself (the big bag)!

King Cole Potato Chip Co., was bought by Bachmans, in 1982, who then shut them down. (As a result, I refuse to eat Bachmans) There former plant, is now an electrical supply store. Yes they were good, for my taste buds they were the best bbq potato chips ever

I remember back in the '60/'70's in Maine, we use to eat these chips all the time, along with a Mountain Dew,RC Cola or Cream soda's . The smaller bags were only five cents each, and their rival was Humpty Dumpty..Sure brings back great memories!

King Cole Foods, maker of King Cole potato chips, potato sticks, cheese corn, and seasoned popcorn, was one of several potato chip manufacturers in South Portland in the mid-1900s. The business was originally run by Norman Cole and John Hayes, Jr., and began in a building at 609 Main Street on the corner of Thirlmere Avenue, The company’s predecessor was the Winslow Chip Company, which was run by Norman Cole at that same location. The business moved circa 1947 to a larger facility at 174 Cash Street on the corner of Hunnewell Street. Norman Cole left the business and went on to a new potato chip manufacturer, Humpty Dumpty.
