*I had my very first taste of California Chips a year ago out of a vending machine in a downtown hotel during a convention in Phoenix, AZ. My good friend, Lara, shouted (quite loudly and inappropriately) "OHMYGOD THEY HAVE EARTHQUAKE CHIPS!!" and promptly purchased one bag for each of us. We inhaled them in a matter of minutes, so we faked a bathroom break and ran to purchase two more bags. CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH we couldn't hear a word our presumably highly-paid motivational speaker was saying (yes, its just like the cereal commercials), but who cares! We were motivated enough from the nirvana of your Earthquake chips. After scouring all of Phoenix for this delicious little bite of heaven, I was unsuccessful. There was nothing I could do but sneak into the hotel employee breakroom and raid their vending machine. Weekly. I'm fairly certain several of the hotel employees think I'm a either a stalker or an ex-employee who just can't let go. Thankfully, I've just discovered that you sell them by the box-full on your website, you can't imagine my elation! You've saved me from my cravings....and possibly from being chased by those hotel security guards.....again. Tammi-Arizona
*Wow ... my 1st time trying them out. Our vending machine had some (san miguel produce)so I figuered id try them out..one word "delicious". Best of all you guys are a local company.. 2 thumps up.. ps. Nice website .. Abraham-California

*I live in Ohio and they put these chips in our machine at work, these have got to be the best chips ever, they fill 3 slots up with these chips and they are gone immediately! I have only gotten 1 bag because they go so quick! Are these available at any stores in Ohio? I would like to buy some! Also do they come in big bags or just the small ones? Jack-Ohio
*Oh what an earth-shattering development: I left my big bag of Earthquake Chips in the dark airport parking lot last night. They survived the trip in my backpack only to be left there all alone.
Since they are the best chips I have had all year, please help with sending just one little bag so the guys at work can try one chip each! Brian-Utah |
*Our local grocery (Delano's IGA in Fairfax, CA) just started to carry California Chips and I'm hooked! They're chips the way I'd have made them if I wanted to deal with the mandolin, the paper towels and the oily, splattery mess. THANKS! And for less than 2 bucks - cool. This weekend I tried the "Earthquake" flavor with a 6-pack of Sierra Nevada Summer Ale. What a great day. Bringing multiple bags to the 4th of July party next weekend. Potato chips are fun again! Thanks, Carol-California
*Hi Kevin--I live in Los Angeles and just returned from a camping trip at Lake Tahoe. While there I purchased a bag of your chipotle chips at a Raley's supermarket. They were simply amazing. http://gfx2.hotmail.com/mail/w3/ltr/emoticons/smile_party.gif It took all my powers of restraint not to eat the entire bag in one sitting! The chips were incredibly crisp, not too oily, perfectly salted, and loaded with flavor. And they were reasonably priced to boot. Thanks! Christopher-California
*Hi California Chips, I must tell you, I am a mom of 4 and buy chips for my girls (yes all 4 are girls) to have for lunch or afternoon treats. Quite honestly, I never touch them. I walk right past them or hand them out and have no real desire to snack on chips myself. Until…. One of my co-workers, (I work at a non-profit that supports homeless families, I’ll get to that in a minute) brought in a bag of Earthquake chips. I recently became a vegetarian following in my oldest daughters foot steps and was looking for something to eat mid-morning, I was hungry. I saw the half eaten bag of Earthquake chips and helped myself to a handful. OMG!!!! I have never had anything this interesting in my mouth before!! I really had to stop myself from eating the entire bag. These chips are like nothing I have ever eaten before!! I’m an aquarius and have crazy eccentric taste, this fits right into my karma. Luckily, I found two local retailers, Trader Joes and Smart and Final that sale them. And of course when I take them home the girls know the Earthquake chips are Moms!!! Cleo-California THANKS CALIFORNIA CHIPS!!! YOU GUYS ARE ROCK STARS!!!!
*Hello - Wanted to drop you a line to let you know I adore your chips. They are sold in a vending machine at my office, and I'm hoping they will soon be sold in grocery stores here in AZ. I also just bought an 8 bag box from your site! Thanks! Terry-Arizona
*Hello, My Name is Daniel. The reason why I am taking the time to write you today is because I want to express my joy. I recently bought a bag of your Earthquake chips and the only thing I can say is WOAH!!! Absolutely incredible. I understand why you call them earthquake chips because I used to live in San Diego, but it's more like an explosion in my mouth. More intense than the time I was about 11 yrs old and decided to combine pop rocks and Pepsi. That first bite of that chip is like getting your first kiss from the one you love, unforgettable. I want to thank you for making this exquisite indulgence. Your are right when you say " you'll be hooked", I am hooked. I am proactively offering ONE chip to my friends and family... you should see their reaction! I only give one though, they're going to have to get there own bag. Again thank you for making these chips and I have one question? Do they only come in the personal bag size or do you also package them in bigger sizes? Any response would be appreciated. Daniel-Arizona
*Hi. Just wanted to let you know that I love the earthquake chips and think that the honey barbeque is also very good. I am able to find it at my local Smart & Final. I think I'll be addicted to that tangy taste that rocks the taste buds. Chip lover-California
*I love your chips the Earthquake ones are the best and I have turned on all my fellow coworkers on to them. Thanks and keep up the good job. Eve-California
*I just tried your Earthquake Chips and there is now an orgy of flavor in my mouth. The only downside is they are only available in my works break room vending machine. Where in Arizona can I procure this fine product. This is one hundred percent serious, they are the best chips I have ever tasted. I look forward to acquiring said chips in the very near future! Please let me know what fine local retailers carry your Amazing Earthquake Chips. Jesse-Arizona
*Dear Big Chip, Me and my friend Lily love your chips. We've sat here for two nights in a row eating these chips brought back from California as a souvenir and cannot stop talking about the thrilling flavors!! Before noting the ingredients a website we even ventured to decipher each flavor you had combined. In a word, we love these chips. WHERE CAN WE FIND THEM? We live in Manhattan...anywhere nearby will do. Love your New York Addicts (we should go to California Chips Anonymous),
Rocco and Coco- New York
*I am eating my first bag of your Honey BBQ chips right now. I just had to tell you how great they are. I have been a lover of XYZ* brand for many years, I even worked for them in the past. Your chips put theirs to shame. I will definitely be buying many more bags of your chips in the future. I LOVE THEM!!!!! Thanks, Kathy-California *Note we blocked out the brand to keep us from getting a letter from some big fancy law firm in the mail!!
*Hello! A first purchase of Earthquake potato chips from a vending machine is a risky venture. Not until after I selected the chips was I able to learn earthquake referred to the flavor mix and not the condition of the chips after shipping. The image that enters my mind when I read earthquake is crushed potato chips! The flavor is a perfect blend. Thank you. Karen-Michigan
*Where can we get them in Ohio??? We got them from a vending machine in Deshler Ohio and we want a bigger bag of the Earthquake ones they were fantastic! Larry-Ohio
*I stumbled upon your product while in route to Ohio from Mi. I found your chips at one of the rest stops between the two states. They were the Earthquake Brand chips. I have to say that they are honestly some of the best potato chips that I have ever had the priviledge of eating. They were wonderful and I cannot say enough good things about them. Unfortunately for me, after visiting your website, I did not see any distributers in Mi. Are there any plans to bring them to Mi? Are there any distributers in Michigan that are not on your website? Shawn-Michigan
*I had to take a moment to say that the Earthquake Chips are the best potato chips I’ve every had, really! I love them….Liz-California
*So I just went to Walgreens and bought a bag of the Sea Salt chips and chomped down the whole bag to myself- a great snack for 11:30am? Not really but it was delicious and I will definitely be grabbing another bag soon (hopefully later in the day and saving some!). I am curious about how you all have been marketing yourselves since your start in 2000. I work with a cluster of prominent radio stations in the San Francisco Bay Area and we have some great events and opportunities that would work well for California Chips! Let me know…Thanks! Maggie-California
*I have to concur with my colleague that this is no joke, these chips are amazing!! A slight taste of salt and vinegar, yet not overpowering like many other brands are. Then to top if off with just slight hint of BBQ, this is just "good eats"! Mark-California
*Just wanted to tell you that I have tried your Sea Salted all natural potato chips. They are really yummy. They have much less sodium than most other major brands and yet they are still full of flavor. I never noticed these in my local Raley's market before. Or maybe they were in the Natural Foods isle. The only things I buy in that isle are the vitamins and rice milk. Everything else is too expensive. These were on sale on an end cap, but I will buy them from now on regardless.
Thank you and have a fabulous day! Marlene-California
*Hi from Illinois! I work at the University and absolutely LOVE your earthquake chips. They have them in the vending machines and they don't last very long. I was telling everyone how good they were, but now I'm not sure if that was such a good idea because they are always gone! LOL! Keep up the good work. They're terrific! A fan, Candice-Illinois
*WOWWWW...........all I can say is your chips are simply delicious, I am totally addicted!! I have looked for them in the store but cant find them. Do u sell them in stores?? The only time I get to enjoy this wonderful chip is when the Ida Vend guys comes and restocks the vending machine with them. He doesn't always do it so I buy about 4 bags when he does. hahahaha.....Anyways just wanted to find out if you have them in any stores! I live in Lewiston, ID...............THANKS AGAIN!! Nicole-Idaho
*Hello, First, I had never heard of California Chips before I walked up to the vending machine at work. I had just been told by my doctor that I had to cut down on a lot of the foods (and fats) that I had "enjoyed" before. I was upset. Now I felt that I had nothing to look forward to but bland, cardboard tasting food. I saw your chips in the machine. I had no idea about them, the taste or the company. Fine. I will try them. I shoved in my change and out the bag popped. I glanced at the back about the claims of fat and other things free. Yea, I said, and taste free too! I opened the bag and ate the first one. Wow! What are these things? They are great!! Why have I never heard of them before? I put each one in my mouth and let the taste and flavor just burst. Before long I was very upset. Why? Because they were all gone. Plus there were no more in the machine. I dumped the bag in the trash. Then pulled it back out. There had to be a way to contact you. Or at least I would have the name to find the product in the Toledo Ohio area. I found the address but I can not find the chips! I will keep searching. Because I have rarely written to a company to compliment or rave about their product or service. But in this case I had to. Thank you for a GREAT product! I only wish I could find it locally. Are there other things you make? I hope so. Again, thanks for a great tasting treat. I will continue to search for them. I still carry that bag with me to ask store managers if they carry it or can get it. I will keep looking if you will keep making them! Paul-Ohio
*Hi there. Wow, I never do this writing to companies thing but I after trying your Earthquake chips I just had to tell you what I am sure you already know...these chips are fantastic! I'm actually not much of a potato chip fan, I find a lot way to greasy or the bag is full of crumbs halfway into it etc, but yours are just about the perfect chip. They have the right amount of crunch and the flavor is out of this world. Whatever you are doing, keep it up! You now have a few more fans :) Thanks, Raeann-California
*Thanks for your great chips. I'm a Fireman. I received some of your chips recently on a fire, form a grateful citizen. Just to let let you know the chips (Earthquake) were the best I've had. Good luck on your future growth. All the best, Richard-California
* Hello, Your crisps are delicious. I was at Fry's Electronics in Torrance, CA in the check-out when I discovered your brand of potato crisps. It has just the right balance of thickness. Not thin like the other guys, but not overly thick like a kettle style crisp. I purchased a bag of the Barbecue Honey and I was instantly hooked. Keep 'em coming guys!!! Your newest fan, Richard
*Hello, I Just had your Earthquake Chips for the first time. Without a doubt the best chips I've ever had. Thanks, Robert-Washington
*THANK YOU!!! FINALLY SOMEONE WITH ENOUGH GUTS TO WHOOP ON THE “BIG BOYS” - AND AM DO IT RIGHT!!! I AM A CHIP-A-HOLIC!! IT HAS BEEN 15 MINUTES SINCE I HAD A CHIP. WE FOUND YOUR BRAND AT A LITTLE MARKET IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE OREGON – THANK GOODNESS I BOUGHT 3 BAGS (ONE OF EACH FLAVOR THEY HAD). MY HUSBAND, KIDS AND I DEVOURED THEM IN RECORD TIME – WITH A COLD SANDWICH AND A BEER (NOT THE KIDS)!!! I JUST PLACED AN ORDER FOR 8 MORE BAGS FOR OUR NEXT BOATING TRIP. HOPEFULLY WE WILL SEE YOUR CHIPS IN MORE STORES (I PAID .99 PER BAG). WE’LL TAKE OUR PICTURE ON OUR BOAT WITH YOUR CHIPS AND SUBMIT IT – THANKS FOR CARING ENOUGH TO MAKE AN OUTSTANDING CHIP!!! SHERRY-OREGON
*This was the first time I've tried the earthquake chips at work, and I have to say these were the best chips I have ever tasted. I live in Silverdale, Washington, is there a store that carries these chips or do I just have to order them online? David-Washington
*We just ate the Earthquake chips. We have never tasted any so great! We will become forever loyal customers of your chips. Susan & Ed Mount-A secret undisclosed location
*Dear California Chips, I was just on Vacation in Utah and had your "Earthquake" potato chips and I am hooked! Do you sell them at a store near me? If not how can I get a store to order them from you? I live in Oregon. Help I love them!!!! Thanks, Tammy
*I just had to e-mail youafter experiencing your Creamy Chipotle Chips. They tasted SOOOOOOOOO good I almost started chewing my finger tips !!! They are REALLY incredible with NATURAL ingredients as well. After eating these, all others taste like they came from We really appreciate HEALTHY snacks when there are so many nasty jips. Lisa and I are only eating and telling others about California Chips !!! P.S. Thanks for creating a TASTEY HEALTHY snack !!! T-California
*Hi! I just finished off a bag of your earthquake chips and they are definitely unique. I found them at Mollie Stones, and being from the bay area, I had to buy the earthquake bag. Great Job!. It was like tasting something different with every bite!! Best regards, Tina
*Just wanted to email you and let you know that your chips are PHENOMINAL!!!! Could you let me know what locations in Tucson, Az. receive your product for retail. I will even drive to close towns to get them. Thank you so much, Don and Beryl-Arizon |
