Troyer Farms
I saw a Troyer Farms van driving down the street today...in Ohio! I didn't think you could buy Troyer Farms potato chips anywhere but Pennsylvania. They are the best chips ever. They actually taste like potatoes, unlike many of the chips available on the average supermarket shelf. When I was a kid, it wasn't a party unless there was Troyer Farms chips and French onion dip. I could have visited the Troyer Farms factory when I was a junior or senior in high school, but I didn't like the teacher (because I didn't think she liked me) and skipped out on the field trip. Looking back I was being a snot. The kids all came back and told me what a good time it was, and I was a little jealous and sheepish about not going. Now, I like to watch how food is made on "Unwrapped." So, Mrs. Tubbs, you were right, I should have gone on the trip to see how my favorite chip was made. They even got free samples.
