Potato chip exhibit to open Saturday
BALLSTON SPA — “In the Saratoga Style: Potato Chips and Their Regional Folklore” opens Saturday at Brookside Museum, Saratoga County History Center, 6 Charlton St. The exhibit, which will be on display through Dec. 31, explores the many stories that have claimed to explain the story behind the snack, from disgruntled customers to kitchen mishaps.
The use of the “Saratoga” name to nationally market potato chips is seen through the expansive collection of famed local expert Alan Richer, known as “The Toga Chip Guy.”
The exhibit is open to the public 1 to 5 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. For more information,
go to https://brooksidemuseum.org.
I have recently been featured in twi Times Union Articles

John Karolefski, author of the blog Grocery Stories at:
https://www.grocerystories.com/
has written a book about grocery shopping. He had requested a quote from me about about chips -- their place in snack history, their popularity, etc.
I had provided him with a quote that I will disclose once his book is published.
Here is that quote!
"Potato chips are more American than apple pie. Compare the shelf space allotted to potato chips and apple pie in your local grocery store"

Advertising Icons for Snack Foods Still Popular
Advertising continues to create memorable icons that collectors enjoy. Just this past week I learned that even today, young people enjoy advertising art as one of my professional colleagues educated me on the little Utz Girl.
This friend is a talented graphic designer and actually dressed as the cute little Utz Girl on Halloween. Who is the Utz Girl? Well it’s the logo of the Utz snack food and potato chip company of Pennsylvania.
I was happy to see that a 20-something enjoys advertising art just like so many antique enthusiasts do. After all I have a Little Debbie collectible doll somewhere (snack cakes).
