Tim's, Chips 2 Bags (Original), 8 Ounce

These chips were just outstanding!!!

Tim's used to be the only potato chips we would buy. Then we left Seattle and retired to Georgia. Several years later, my daughter mailed us a box of Tim's and they were lackluster, no better than the rest. I guess it's the (lack of) peanut oil. Now we just get Kirkland chips at Costco. Sad.

The recipe changed. Tim's Cascade chips used to be made with peanut oil, but now they just use the same oil as the major brands. They knew they could save some money using cheaper oil, but I always thought that was partly why they were so good. I guess some people can't tell the difference. I had to switch to Trade Joe's olive oil potato chips.I always loved these chips. I loved 'em before they were famous. My next door neighbor (20 years ago) was the Tim's local distributor. I wonder if Tim's has been acquired by some larger company. I will miss them.

Tim's potato chips are outstanding. Always a pleasure eating these...CRUNCH!Just thinking about them makes me hungry.

Apparently the people at Tim's knew that peanut oil is the secrete to a great potato chip, otherwise why would they have used it all these years? The moment I bit into one from a new bag though, I knew something had gone terribly awry. Sure enough a quick check of the ingredients revealed the culprit to be "vegetable oil (corn oil or sunflower oil)". Sad.
