Old Dutch chips in Toronto!!

[el_diablo007]

I remember some RFD'ers were looking for these chips...I was at the No Frills @ Dundas / Lansdowne and found that they sold Old Dutch kettle chips!

I got a couple bags :D

[Siefer999]

is the label dutch crunch?

classic old dutch chips are better i think. jalapeno and cheddar is the best.

[el_diablo007]

the front of the bag actually just says 'Dutch' kettle chips

[ratface]

If it's on the shelf in a bag, it's not what we're looking for.

The Old Dutch are in two bags in a box.

[Paolo]

I duno about you guys but I'd rather NOT buy my potato chips from the same company that makes house hold cleaners and bleach.

I was the one that asked about them...no those are not it, to Paolo, have you ever tried them? The old dutch ketchup have to be the best chips ever created. Here is what they look like

That is too steep ... I get my friend in BC to send me some but there has to be a better solution

[el_diablo007]

they changed the color of the bag to black, but the logo is the same. (the windmill)

[Keelie]

no they did not change the packaging. they are both old dutch brand potato chips, just different chips/packages

Their product line includes brands such as Old Dutch Potato Chips, Dutch Crunch, Ripples and Restaurante Style Tortilla Chips.

SECRET'S OUT OF THE BAG: OLD DUTCH MAKES ITS WAY EAST

Ontario, Quebec and Eastern Canada introduced to Western Canada’s snack of choice

Attention: Assignment Editor, Food/Beverage Editor, Lifestyle Editor, News Editor

TORONTO, ON, NEWS RELEASE--(CCNMatthews - March 26, 2007) - Old Dutch, one of Canada's most craved snack foods, will soon become available to all Canadians. Old Dutch will be launching their popular Dutch Crunch brand of kettle cooked potato chips, Restaurante and Arriba brand tortilla chips throughout Ontario, Quebec and Eastern Canada starting this month, after 53 years of only being available west of Thunder Bay.

In 2006, Restaurante Multigrain was awarded a People's Choice award for Best New Product in the snack food category, and in 2007 Old Dutch won the Best New Product award for Old Dutch Rip-L Creamy Dill potato chips. Old Dutch Rip-L Creamy Dill potato chips and Dutch Crunch Chipotle Lime kettle chips are also both finalists in the Snack category for the 2006 Canadian Grand Prix New Product Awards, presented by the Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors.

"People who have grown up with Old Dutch see our brand and our windmill as an endorsement of premium quality snack food products," says Scott Kelemen, National Director of Marketing for Old Dutch Foods. "Old Dutch is a Canadian brand icon with a very loyal following. Our commitment to premium quality snacks, innovation, and support of active communities have made Old Dutch Foods a leader in the industry for over 50 years."

Old Dutch is renowned in the snack food industry for never having used hydrogenated oils for its corn or potato chip products, and the company was the first snack food company in Canada to commit to zero trans-fat across whole product lines. Old Dutch Restaurante Premium Tortilla Chips are made with whole white or yellow corn, contain zero trans-fat and are low in saturated fatty acids.

For the time being, Westerners can take heart that not everything Old Dutch that is sacred to them will be shared with everyone else. Some Old Dutch favourites, including the famous Old Dutch twin-pack box, will still only be available in Western Canada.

In-store and point-of-sale displays for Old Dutch will feature Calgary Flames captain Jarome Iginla promoting the fourth-annual Restaurante 'Give Kids a Chance to Play' program. Through the promotion Old Dutch will donate $250,000 to KidSport™, a national non-profit organization providing assistance to disadvantaged kids to participate in organized sports.

In the 'Give Kids a Chance to Play' promotion, Restaurante consumers will have the chance to win a daily prize of a Jarome Iginla Sport Kit valued at $700, including an autographed Easton® Synergy™ hockey stick, a limited edition Iginla poster, an iPod nano and sport sensor kit, and sports apparel. 'For more information please visit: www.olddutchfoods.ca

About Old Dutch
Old Dutch first started in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1954 as a small potato chip company before achieving great success over the years with staple products such as the twin-pack box of potato chips, and its long list of flavours. Retailers and consumers have come to know Old Dutch for its variety of snack food products and identify the windmill logo as a seal of quality that they can trust.

Old Dutch has promoted active lifestyles for over 50 years through grass-root sponsorships of active community projects in Western Canada. Old Dutch sponsorships have ranged from NHL hockey and CFL football teams to minor sports, dance, charitable events, marathons and other activities.

This is weird...I live in Winnipeg and don't really see why people get excited about Old Dutch chips. I even went on a school tour to their factory a long time ago.

[duckdown]

They're just SO much better than Lays, that's for friggin sure... I for one am looking forward to them

[heapbag]

Nuts to that I want Mr. Vickies chips to come back!

[monty613]

[el_diablo007]

[monty613]

what the hell are mr. vickies chips?! I'm craving crispy kettle chips now!

made by mrs. vickie's chips. they came in a bag that had blue overalls on the packaging.

i'm not sure if they were labeled as bbq flavoured but they had a little spicy kick to them.

[amicus]

i can't wait for this. i've been out east for like 8 years. but whenever i got back to Alberta. i eat old dutch chips to get my fill.

[aishashahab]

i found dutch crunch chips at the dollar joint on the corner of coxwell and gerrard, 2 for $1, and the jalapeno cheddar ones are yummy!

[katostar]

i saw the big and small bags of the kettle chips at a Mac's convienence store on yonge north of north york centre

[amicus]

i just saw a commercial for old dutch in Ontario.

where can i buy them here?

[Paolo]

Same here, just saw their commercial

glad to hear its not the same company that makes bleach... but i guess high land farms might start selling their chips. cus there is only 3 distributors of chips in ontario.

[gmark2000]

Now, what about Hawkins Cheezies (http://www.cheezies.com/) from Belleville. They are so hard to find in the GTA yet they're a staple out West too.

Shoppers Drug Mart has them, for sure.


I'm having a way tougher time finding Old Dutch

[anom]

Never tried them, but saw them at the convenience store at Bayview and Hightech Rd. (Richmond Hill), if anyone lives in that area.

[milhaus]

Has anybody seen the Old Dutch Ruffle Sour Cream and Onion Chips? I don't care about their Dutch Crunch chips! I want my MSG laden SC&O chips!! It appears that they're just introducing the Dutch Crunch chips . . .

[crikey]

Yes!

I posted about these in another thread and nobody seemed to remember them. I've contemplated writing letters to the company haha

YES! Bring them back! They were the best chips ever! 2 bags/sitting is heaven. Mr. Vickies FTW!

[katostar]

ok went to dominions today and saw old dutch chips...didn't get any coz i got humpty dumpty's Rip•L dill chips instead

i think they were $2.99...they had:

Dutch Crunch ++ jalapeno & cheddar, mesquite bbq and original
Arriba Tortilla Chips ++ jalapeno & cheddar, nacho cheese

that should be it....i hope my parents can bring back some old dutch chips for me!! i really want the reg dill pickle and sour cream & cheddar when they go to regina for a week

[mada726]

I really like the Dutch Crunch kettle cooked chip line. My favourite flavour has got to be the Mesquite BBQ while my older sister likes the Jalapeño cheddar kind.

There's also some tortilla chips and nacho chips by Old Dutch as well. When I was in Vancouver a couple years back, the brand is well known. Nowadays, I now frequently see those Old Dutch commercials on my telly.

Oh DEFINITELY, those Mesquite BBQ ones are insanely good & addictive

[dealguy2]

I thought you eastern mouth breathers didn't eat chips. Something about the crunchiness disrupting the mouth breathing pattern.

[Gigi]

Ever since reading this thread awhile ago, I've been noticing more and more places that sell Old Dutch. I bought a pack at the convenience store at the NW corner of Bathurst and Wilson a few weeks ago (to try), and then a few days ago, I saw them at a Buck or Two at Centerpoint Mall (Yonge and Steeles).

I picked up a small bag of the Original flavour. It's ok, but not something I'd make an effort at finding again. What are some of the recommended flavours?

Those would be the "Arriba!" tortilla chips, nowhere near as good as doritos IMO.

Yup, as opposed to that sugary crap Mrs Vickie's BBQ

[gmark2000]

Looks like Superstore is no longer carrying Old Dutch on their shelves. There's very little selection remaining and they seem to be selling that off.

Anywhere else in the GTA carrying Old Dutch still?

[miss_swan]

Interesting ... didn't know that Old Dutch wasn't available back East until lately.

I grew up on the the double bag/box of Old Dutch.

Then again, I just tried some Humpty Dumpty just last month from my local Safeway. Never seen them before except in conversation here on RFD.

I am from the Peg currently in Saskatoon...and i agree the original flavor is nothing spectacular. But here are a few need to knows regarding their Old Dutch flavors...

* Their Rip-L-Chip is by FAR the best dipping chip ever
* Ketchup is literally coated with sweet ketchupy goodness
* OD BBQ is actually hot, not sweet
* Their Bacon flavor kicks butt...can't handle a whole bag, but a haf is perfect
* "arriba" nacho chips are fantastic on a homemade taco salad

Enjoy!

omgs yes....I was at a conference last year in Winnipeg, and I stocked up and carried it back to Toronto. I'm glad Old Dutch is making a come-back here. I loved the two-bag boxes as a kid.

[gordholio]

I've tried Miss Vickie's and to me they seem pretty greasy.
I like Lays or Ruffles, made with clean sunflower oil.

[Siefer999]

Dominion is selling Rip-L Chips old dutch chips. their sour cream and onion is soooooo good.

[aimfox]

I duno about you guys but I'd rather NOT buy my potato chips from the same company that makes house hold cleaners and bleach.

lol

[Siefer999]

where are the double pack boxes? Those are great! I just some salt and vinegar, and ketchup chips and they really bring back old memories. best part is, my brother is bringing some back from vancouver next week so that is more Old dutch goodness for me

[Grassgreen]

The boxes are available here!

Man, i love Old Dutch. Their BBQ is awesome.

They also have a new Steak n Onion flavor which i haven't tried yet

[gordholio]

They have Old Dutch potato chips in Walmart (at least the Midland store).
I've never tried them. I like Lays.

[silentio]

ya but which flavors at walmart?

[katostar]

i saw old dutch rippled flavours at stc walmart...creamy dill and sour cream and onion...i think it was $2.27 something like that

[silentio]

Fairly premium prices on that brand.

Are Ms. Vickies costing more than this brand?

[smartfood]

Old dutch are definitely at No Frills, they have a large selection of them, I find them at daisy mart convienent stores, as well.

I am both fans of hawkins cheezies, and Old Dutch as they were both my favourite picks as a kid in out in the west.

[Bob Sacamano]

Has anyone seen regular, non ripple, non tortilla based Old Dutch chips in the GTA? i.e. BBQ, Dill Pickle, S&V - if so, where?

*I'm not talking about the rip'l kind (creamy dill, mesquite bbq, etc, which I've seen at several places - they're pretty good too).

[katostar]

just thought i bump this thread up to post incase some ppl don't already know...i know i've been looking everywhere for them for awhile

i just went to no frills (steeles/markham rd) today and saw that they have the regular old dutch chips available...they were less than $2

the flavours i saw

dill pickle (my fave)
salt and vinegar
ketchup
regular
all dressed

i really want the cheddar and sour cream too but i'm happy they have the reg chips available now and i don't need to stock up when someone visits from the west

oh ya hasty markets also have the small bags for $1.29

[winterfreshgrin]

I'm so glad these chips are finally in TO. I grew up in Winterpeg and Old Dutch were a staple in my house. At that point I only knew that potato chips came in cardboard boxes with the twin packages, so when I moved to TO i couldn't find them here and ask....."you know Old Dutch, the ones in a box" and they looked at me like I was crazy.

I know a lot has changed since then but I still haven't seen my favorite flavour - Onion & Garlic, I'd be very sad if they discontinued it, they were the best. >:(

[stuff352]

I got some too .. but they don't taste the same (at least the ketchup ones). I believe that they finally got rid of the humpty dumpty brand and just stuck with Old Dutch. I am hopefull that they did not discontinue the onion and garlic they were good (at least that is how i remember them)

[szw]

I just moved to Toronto from the West and was glad to see the Old Dutch brand at No Frills (coxwell), but they only had some other types of chip (ripple...some other fancy crap....)....I only like the regular salt&vinegar chips. I guess I gotta check back or check another location!

[szw]

Found a bunch of regular old dutch at the Supercenter Walmart on Eglington, very nice, got some good old Salt & Vinegar I've been craving for a while.

[Siefer999]

is humpty dumpty making ontario's old dutch chips. i see the humpty dumpty logo on the the ketchup bag of old dutch chips and old dutch chips have taken over the humpty dumpty product space in most store. they dont taste the same and the flavours are just the regular plain typical ones, not the unique special flavours that you see out west

[Asad_A203]

Old Dutch has been here for ages :cheesygri.

[gmark2000]

I just Googled it. Old Dutch bought out Humpty Dumpty in March 2007.

I was wondering about this. I was at a Wal-Mart recently and saw merchandisers from Humpty Dumpty putting Old Dutch products on the shelf. The Frito-Lay jobber was there as well.

IMO, humpty dumpty makes the best tasting ketchup chips.

IMO, humpty dumpty makes the best tasting ketchup chips.

how are they compared to the Heinz ones?

[Feneant]

Same here in out east, we no longer see Humpty Dumpty. The flavoring tastes the same although I have to admit I really like their All Dressed.

For Kettle cooked, I adore their Salt and Vinegar, you can actually taste it compared to most tame chips. I notice a new bag this week for Parmesan and garlic or something like that. I bought a bag but don't care for them, not my style at all.

Aslo, the Old Dutch Ariba nacho chips are very good. I noticed that the Ariba and Kettle chips are lower in fat than the other brands like Lays or Doritos so I stick to them.

[4flava]

how are they compared to the Heinz ones?

I have the Heinz one at home but I find that it's a lil on the sweet side... I still prefer Humpty Dumpty =)

they're being phased out. they dont sell it everywhere in the GTA anymore. my local corner stores have all replaced Humpty dumpty with old dutch and so have my local no frills

[bonita!]

Bought some ketchup ones today. They are a little thicker than Lays.
