Canadians LOVE Old Dutch ❤

[@allyloyns3229]

Manitoba 💪🏻

[@floridaredfishin8209]

Americans too 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@lrmguitars1224]

Live in Toronto Canada Old Dutch is very popular here

[@KACEY-td9nh]

Living in Minnesota. USA and born here in minnesota USA never thought they would be that popular in Canada 😂 but that's cool to know

[@joeysheremeta4771]

WOW! Today I learned that Old Dutch isn't a Canadian Company!! Growing up in Hawaii, and now living in Oregon, I only had Old Dutch chips when visiting family in Canada. They seem to be ubiquitous there which made me assume that they were a Canadian Brand! Nothing beats Old Dutch Pickle and Ketchup flavors!

[@blueabattoir]

That’s funny! I live in Vancouver BC and always assumed they were a local company. Something about the old fashioned packaging I think. Anyway they are great chips.

[@gerardsaretsky5630]

Yes for years I thought Old Dutch c was a Canadian Company… but then learned they were based in Minnesota… they came to Canada (Winnipeg)in 1954…thank God… and have been my favourite chip for decades!… Thankyou Old Dutch and Minnesota!

I worked for Old Dutch back in early 74. I was stacking trays of boxes back in the warehouse for minimum wage which was about $3.50 an hour. I quit after a few months and worked for a landscaping outfit for a dollar less an hour just to get away from that boring job. Every time my nose gets a whiff of that potato chip smell the memories come flooding back to me.

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

Minimum wage in 1974 was 2.00 an hour. I worked for the RR as a clerk back then making 3.65 an hour to start and lived pretty good which was amazing

[@morg52]

@@edmondfitzgerald They were just corrugated card board trays that would hold five or six large boxes with a string tied around them. I don't have a clue who made the trays, I'd assume they were made on site. Another worker and I would toss the strings that came loose up on a cement block wall behind the conveyor as a form of contest out of sheer boredom. My supervisor was named Mc Mahon.

When I lived in Lacrosse, WI, I used to love their cheese curls. Melted in my mouth. Circa 1965-9.

[@Horzzo]

My mother would send me the Dill Pickle chips when I was stationed in Germany. So good.

[@Reticule9]

Absolutely love Old Dutch potato chips! My all time favourite flavour is rare to see these days: garlic and onion 🤤

[@randyronny7735]

I miss the plant in East Grand Forks, MN. I felt proud having the plant here.

[@GalaxyTheCrazyQuilt]

I worked there in 2018 and loved it 😔

[@mr.d8214]

I could not believe they still come in boxes. I worked in a chip factory outside Chicago and we made a regional brand once every two weeks for the Gary, IN, market. It was cooked in pure lard. 1983-8. Ever heard of Jay's potato chips?

[@whiterosesforthebrideofchrist]

I can't get Old Dutch where I am now. They were always fresh.

[@garyloger9416]

Best chips in the world.

[@salvatory2012]

And in Canada old Dutch has ketchup chips 😂

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

Never thought about Old Dutch being made in Mn. A bit of trivia to know

[@roboticturtle8822]

Same

[@daleschroeder-jm9gu]

best chips on the planet anything old dutch is simply delicious😁

[@malvavisco10]

Anyone tried the jalapeño cheddar tortilla chips? They’re always out of stock so I’m guessing they must be good

[@madmartigan4948]

My first day they're working in the warehouse catching stacking boxes as I stood there and stared at the conveyor belt all day long waiting for my boxes that never came

[@DoitgangAnt]

Is hard or easy being a packager?

[@edmondfitzgerald]

Why didn't the boxes ever come? Which company was suppose to supply them?

[@teresat6876]

Best potato chips

[@jamesnash6101]

@ 3:26, the guy in the middle comes across as a complete primadonna, pompous jerk. Come on man, it's supposed to be a fun segment. He acts like he's allergic to potato chips. I don't think he's a team player.

[@sola5girl564]

Too bad they don't pay well enough. Hubby loved his job but couldn't stay since he couldn't afford to

[@jeffd3661]

They are paying above average wages for route drivers and relief drivers right now.

[@blairarsenault8350]

The best chip on the market in North America

[@malvavisco10]

I always thought it looked like Old Outch because of the roundish font lol

[@khawmtiti4460]

Any hmong person work there?

[@earthstewardude]

Cheap lard was how that company got up to speed! I can't get enough lard! My doctor told me to stop eating them so I found a new doctor!

[@annoyedok321]

You might be Minnesotan if your chips come in a box.

[@BenNorris417]

My dad works for old dutch

[@lucmarchand617]

When you pass plant in calgary alberta smell chips being made yup.😊

[@yourlocalbot8270]

Best chip

[@GGoAwayy]

What happened to Happy's chips with the clown on the box... Also... who knew Karl Marx created communism and Old Dutch chips?

[@SunWM99]

Old Dutch potato chips are too greasy

[@jeffbryan3224]

I thought the Ketchup flavour were quite disgusting when they came out but they grow on you. I kind of like them now. Haven't seen Onion n' Garlic in DECADES.
