I've heard that Red Rock Deli are the best selling chip but a glance at the shelf the other night and Kettle looked to be much more popular, they weren't even on special. I do like the lemon and cracked pepper Red Rocks, they are all pretty good. The Kettle ones just look too manufactured to me, that odd crinkle business. I prefer a potato chip to at least look like it was once a potato.

Mmmmmm, chips. 🙂 Don't really care which ones are on offer, they are both good. Especially like the Lime with Black Pepper ones.

Really? I didn't know that. I thought we could grow enough potatoes here. Seems daft to import potatos, heavy things that are mostly water. Maybe it's the stuff they used for extruded snacks like Twisties or whatever.

Competition is firece for Quality Potatos. Maccas use a crapload of potatos.
Red Rock Deli is owned by Pepsico / Fritolay Huge multi-national.
Kettle started as a locally owned business, was joined up with snack brands Australia 6-7 or so years ago. Snack Brands Australia (Thins, CC's, Kettle, Frech Fires, etc) where purchased by Arnotts Biscuits in 2003?? or so to become "Arnotts Snack Foods". Arnotts Have recently sold the "Snacks" business to "Real Mcoy" who I think are wholey Australian owned.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Tasty Jacks - insert your own joke here.
The chips are excellent too.
Whatever happened to Samboy chips?

Tasty Jacks and Samboy are part of the "Snack Brands Australia" portfolio as recently sold to Real Mcoy.

I work in the salty and sweet snack foods industry. Tend to keep my ear on the ground as to what is going on.
