Are they still around? As a kid, I remember we used to get Charles Chips. It was a delivery service, kind of like the milk man. The truck would come around every week or two and drop off a can. They also had chocolate coated animal crackers, of which I was a fan.
My grandpa always had these growing up. His name was Charles.

Snyders of Berlin or Hanover??
there's a difference
UTZ, who owns them, doesn't distribute Snyder of Berlin very far from PA at this point from what I understand

Snyders of Berlin or Hanover??

“In October 2019, Utz acquired rival snack food company Snyder of Berlin, Berlin, Pennsylvania (not to be confused with Snyder's of Hanover, with whom Utz had previously attempted to merge) from Pinnacle Foods.[16]”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utz_Brands
the crazy thing about Utz is that any food manufacturing operation is ultimately a logistics operation; raw materials get shipped in, snack food gets shipped out.
Hanover PA is frustratingly far from any highways (~20 mins in any direction). It’s not a port city. It has a rail spur at best.
I can’t believe Snyders of Shippensburg hasn’t eaten their I81 logistical lunch by now

pretty good.
how about Ballrich chips? they're in every store around these parts. probably because they're made 25 miles from here.

I think they stopped having the giant can option in the 1970s. The old Jays factory was nine miles from where I grew up. If you were going down the expressway at the right time the air smelled like fresh chips for about a mile.
