In Brooklyn you could buy normal-sized bags of these in the supermarket.

Charles Chips were available back in the early 60's. They also had pretzels and cookies in cans too. They are still the best chips I have ever eaten Thanks for the memories.

Oh, how I loved chips in a tin. The empty tins were always good for storing crayons or toys. Occasionally, I'd find crumbs sticking to my brick-red or burnt-sienna crayolas.

I ordered the chips and the pretzels in 16oz tins at hometownfavorites.com - they have a grocery section that has all sorts of stuff!!! Now I can add these tins to my cookie tin!

we weren't rich at all and we had these delivered to the house, the guy would pull up and his truck looked just like the can and he would sale the chips,cookies,and pretzels, the chips came in sour cream and onion,BBQ,Plain,Cheese,and Pickle was the last I remembered but didn't go to well at out house,the cookies were chocolate chip,sugar,and sniker doodle, the chip man still lives in out town but not our neighborhood can you imagine with gas prices how much it would cost to have them delivered

used to be delivered to the house back in the 60's and early 70's in the tin containers. the best chips ever..BBQ was good but the Onion and Garlic ruled.

u can buy them in the store "the fresh market"

My best friend had these every day in her lunch box. It was like a mystery to us where they came from, because neither of us had ever seen them at any store. They had the best burnt chips in those little bags!!!

Back in Baltimore in the late 50's we had an egg man who delivered eggs and other things each Friday night. He had these chips and around Christmas he had Noel Chips probably made by the same company that were super special and good. Ahh, those were the days. No one worried about cholesterol or being overweight. People lived longer too. Go figure.

I used to babysit my next door neighbor for free because they would get charles chips... one night I almost ate the whole can... they were the best.

Wow... these bring back some really cool memories of my child hood! These were the best chips!

I loved the chocolate Chip cookies.. God they were good. Memories of all us riding in the back sit of the car heading to pop pops house then on the way home I would sit in between my brother and sister holding a BIG Charlie Chips can and we would all be munching.. LOVED IT and wish they were still around. They were the best.. Herrs can eat that haha.

A lady at work used to know a guy who distributed these. Jalapeno was the absolute best. I would LOVE some of these. Best chip ever.

Back in the early 80's this guy would come to our office once a week selling the chips, pretzels and candy, IT WAS THE BEST

You're right Cage - Jalapeno was the bomb! My grandmother ALWAYS had the monster can of plain but if was over and he was stopping by for his delivery, she would always buy a can of the Jalapeno for me. What memories!

I have a S.T.Musser potatoe chip can.I know that the creater of Charles Chips knew S.T.Musser.Can anyone out there tell me anything about these chips and the year of their origin?Also the value on this old can from Mountville in Lancaster Co.?

You can get Charles Chips AND Charles Pretzels on the Vermont Country Store website!

The other day I was thinking about Charlies Chips, they were delivered to my job and we never shared, everyone took their's home, they are the best in the world, i never dreamed that they are still being sold, i am going to order today. thank you

Carolyn, I had the same scenario at my workplace! We'd try new flavors such as jalepeno, ketchup, honey mustard, garlic, and even hot dog! The Charles Chip man came to take orders every two weeks.

I tried looking them up at the Vermont Country store and I couldn't find them...I was so looking forward to getting some!! Any other suggestions???

I found these(in the bag) at Cracker Barrel!!! OMG! I was so excited to find them! I can remember my parents buying the big tin from the Charles Chips guy! Ahh... memories...

I loved those cookies & chips. I was wanting some right now and googled them only to find this website. I miss those tasty chips. Great childhood memories. We were so excited to get the deliveries. Does anyone remember those flat chips that looked like guitar picks that you put into the frying pan & they inflated upon cooking? Were those from the Charles Chip Co. or some other? They were neat.

Does anybody remember the chocolate covered rabbits with white sprinkles --looked forward to them every Spring

I can't believe it!!! It must have been around 1975 when I was in the Super Market in Wayne, New Jersey and some old pitch man would shout out: "Charles Chips ... the more I eat the thiner I get!" He repeted that same montra over and over. Then you could walk up a take a few chips. I think my mom actually bought them for me because we both laughted at that rediculous sales pitch! Even at 11 years old I knew potato chips wouldn't make you thin! Everyone new that, but I guess that's what made it so funny. You guys want to see antoher good site, go to: Dutchmill Dontus on the inthe80s.com/ page! They have got some terrific banter on that site. The folks there are also trying to bring back this extincted product. Pretty Cool!!! And I, Poe, am there, too. Poe

My parents are having their 50th wedding anniversary and I was trying to think of something to get them - perfect gift would be a monthly delivery or at least one delivery - they have never stopped talking about - can anybody help? - thanks
