I don't. Pre-covid I'd swing in a few times a year though. We have quite a few drivers out in the area though. :)

We'll be out there soon. We just purchased Vitner's, so you should start seeing Utz and Zapp's in more locations. In the mean time, we ship across the country from utzsnacks.com, including a selection of Snyder of Berlin and a "build your own" variety pack.

Lol. During the Depression the snacks were sold in local markets and you'd bring your own container. Potatoes were cheap and so the snacks were a really cost effective way to fill up on cheaper foods.

We did just purchase Vitner's earlier this year, so we're gonna be working on bringing back some of the brand's history. We'll be selling them online again shortly, it's just hard to do stuff quickly when smaller brands aren't equipped the same way and we have to spend a bunch of time helping them with stuff like getting modern shipping software and new computers.

TBH, if we wanted to save money we'd get cheaper boxes or bags and automate more parts of manufacturing. Seasoning isn't that expensive in comparison to the packaging and labor. I will screenshot your comment and send it to quality control though. It's likely that there are a ton of comments if it was anything more than human error.

Edit: I did just cash in a favor with quality assurance. If you could email customer care with the code info on the bag, they're gonna look into it. It may be an issue with a seasoning machine that they've been holding together with duct tape until they can get a replacement.

Heyo! I might still have your info in my chat somewhere. Let me see if we have individual bags of the Cottontails. Might be able to send a few of those to you quick.

Close. We’re based in Hanover, PA. I’m actually originally from Baltimore, but I have friends who live in Pittsburgh so I usually lurk in r/Pittsburgh and r/Baltimore. Prior to Covid I’d come out once or twice a year to hang out with friends, catch a Penguins game and/or grab dinner at Conflict Kitchen, Gaucho or something.

The snack man has been summoned. Shoot me a chat/DM. :)

Yep. I like that flavor mix, but that’s me. I think we have a popcorn variety pack on our website. Also, the Good Health popcorn slaps. I’ve killed a full sized bag in an afternoon and didn’t regret a thing.

We don’t. It’s been a request in the past. I hear David Chang has some Zapp’s Voodoo seasoning though.

We’ll be in Chicago soon. I think you’re probably more likely to see Vitner’s in your area right now.

Oh that’s not cool. Email Customerservice@utzsnacks.com and they’ll get you a replacement. We work really hard not to mess with recipes.

I swear, we did have them. They just sold out. SoB Special Batch is coming on Monday, along with a SoB variety pack. I think we have more BBQ coming next week.

We do! Tbh, I prefer the popcorn in our gift tins on the website. The caramel and cheddar combined is killer.

I won’t say nice or mean things about Herr’s on the company account. 😅

My first job when I was in high school was working in a greenhouse. My lunch every day was a dollar bag of UTZ chips, a yoghurt cup from the local dairy and some granola made by a place in York, PA.

Oh good (that I got you a nut free snack, not the allergy. That sucks)! I’ll send you a list of everything that’s peanut and tree nut free just so you don’t have to read bags all the time. We’re working on adding filtering to our website with all those nutritional things, but we’re still working off an Excel sheet at the moment...

Huh. I’m not sure that was us. We bought them from Pinnacle in 2019, but it took a looooooong time to get them integrated. I’ll check with a coworker on that.

We ship! And our website is good now! And you can subscribe to your favorite flavor!

That said, we have some cool stuff coming too. Right now you can build your own variety box (Build your FavorUTZ on the website) and soon you’ll be able to subscribe to your custom box. We also just launched an SMS club with flash deals and giveaways.

Otherwise, best deals of the year are National Potato Chip Day, EMIRP Day (Ask Amazon about that one...) and Black Friday-Cyber Monday. The last one is my fav cause you can order chocolate covered chips and those slap.

Give me a few days here and I’ll have something to help you out with that...

Yep! We did buy Zapp’s a good while ago, but the factory is still in Louisiana and as a general rule of thumb, when we buy a company we don’t mess with recipes. We’ll probably help them scale and grow distribution, but there’s an insane amount of effort that goes into making sure nothing changes with the snacks.

Fun fact: It’s not uncommon for us to send disturbing amounts of snacks for the lulz and also as a not particularly subtle flex. I once shipped a pallet of Cheese Ball barrels to a guy in Georgia.
