Does anybody remember Gold Chip Potato Chips? They had their factory on Jos. Compeau just south of Davidson. I took dance lessons at Americana studios and before I would catch the bus home I would stop at the factory and get a .25 cent bag to eat on the bus. The theaters carried them....which brings us to another thread.... |

I've got tins for New Era, Superior, Twin Pines,and Charles Chips.
The Twin Pines one is marked with a 50 cent deposit.
All were awesome though. |

On the back of the Better Made chips bag, it says that in 1934 there were over 20 potato chip companies in Detroit! |

I recall Tins being used until the late 70s for Chips and up until mid 80s for crackers. |

Gold Chip was pre-Better Made. I remember that Better Made came out just after Gold Chip disappeared. Better Made was my Gold Chip replacement. I have a bag of Better Made Crunchy in my cupboard as we speak. But nothing would warm my heart more than to wrap my chops around a Gold Chip Potato Chip once again. I don't believe that I ever saw a tin for Gold Chip. |
