No, Mrs. Howe's was sold in 1984 and went out of business. The company that bought out Mrs. Howe's Potato chips no longer produces them.
Potato chips do not require refrigeration and they won't last any longer if you do refrigerate them - they will still get stale - but they would last longer if you freeze them. Although why you want to keep your potato chips for such a long period of time, I don't know.
They are not healthy because they still have high calories, but they are not as bad as potato chips.
They are still around. Just under a new name
Charles Chips. They are still made today, though not in cans.
This style of potatoes became known as Saratoga chips, named after the town in which they were first consumed. In 1895, William Tappenden of Cleveland began manufacturing potato chips for home consumption
Potato chips were invented because of a persnickety customer at a restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York. This cranky custiner refused an order of French fries because the potatoes were too thick. Chef George Crum made thinner fries, but the customer was still not satisfied. Finally, in disgust, the chef cut the potato into paper-thin slices and fried them to a crisp. He thought this would teach the customer a good lesson. Instead, the customer loved these potato "chips." The word spread, and pretty soon, many customers were asking for the hard, thin chips.
They're called Crisps. I agree i went to France and the chips were called crips because my brother went France on school trip and he asked for crisps and they have him chips! +++ There's also a slight difference in that British potato-chips are cut thicker than French Fries, and their surfaces are not fried to crispness so the inner should be tender but still firm. The version sold by MacDonalds, in the UK at least, is very thin and crispy to hard. For some perverse reason at least one UK-based crisp manufacturer has been labelling its packets sold in the UK "Potato Chips" (in the US sense) for a few years.
Actually potatoes are a complete meal. They have all of the carbohydrates, proteins and even vitamins and minerals. People can and many have lived only on them. And they are a cheap food to grow and store.
I knew a girl a couple of years ago who had worked for Frito Lay at some point. She said that a regular bag of potato chips that sells for $2.99 (or so) cost them about 30 cents to make. Only about one potato goes into a bag. Of course there is sales, marketing, and distribution, but still, they are making a HUGE profit! I just bought a 10# sack of potatoes for $2.49 a couple days ago, and I could make several dozen bags of potato chips out of those if I had the equipment.
Most Pride Gas Stations, Circle K's, IGA's, and 7-11's in the New England area, not to mention the random mom & pop grocery stores. Very prevalent in Connecticut to be more specific. If you really want them you are able to order online as well.
