Default Old dutch rave buffalo wing chips... WHERE!!

Have you seen this beautifully handcrafted masterpiece flavoured chips recently near you? I remember going down to the local shell gas station years ago and buying about a billion bags of these things and almost pass out from how awesome and spicy they were... I cant find if they were discontinued or who knows, have u seen these lately? if so please let me know where they are so I can go pick some up and revisit my youth

I haven't seen Rave chips in years... I used to buy the salt n vinegar ones. They were so potent, your mouth was a useless, quivering and torn hole for days to come... It was totally worth it.

Wow man.. I haven't seen those in 3-4 years. Those things were fricken' delicious.

Yes, if anybody works or knows somebody that works at Old Dutch could they please tell us why they stopped making these heavenly chips? Just remembering them makes my mouth salivate..

Got me looking at the Old Dutch website, and found these: Thick Cut Slow Cooked Ribs flavour. Haven't seen them yet, but will have to keep an eye out.

I tried the Szechuan version of those and was not impressed. The chips don't have enough seasoning for how thick they are and the result is a bland taste.

I think I saw these in Co-Op today, much to my amusement.

It's just not the same. Rave chips had the perfect amount of seasoning on them. These ones have a bit too much.

Alright, so on Saturday I sent an email to Old Dutch asking if they still made Rave chips. This is the response I received this morning.

Hi there,

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your letter.

Old Dutch Foods, Ltd. made the marketing decision to discontinue the Old Dutch Rave Potato Chip product line. I have sent a request to the marketing department on your behalf to let them know there is still an interest in this product.

Please accept our sincere apologies, and we hope you will find another favourite.




Regards,

This is my day and someday I'll be able to say "we had boatloads of options when it came to chips, then my generation started World War III and all you kids get is Soylent Green!"

What email did you send them? copy it and PM me, I'll send one too. Rave Extra Salt and Vinegar was the greatest chip ever. The chicken and buffalo wing ones were almost as good as the S&V ones, but not quite.

I miss Rave chips.

Also bring back Tahiti Treat dammit.

Your own personally written one will probably go further than a copy and pasted effort.

Yup. I've never had them but Kettle chips are usually good.

It's been said many times but the best potato chips ever (and are sadly no long available) are O'ryan's Sour Cream And Onion.
