Welcome to the Potato Chip Capital of the World!
HARRISBURG, PA - The “KeystoneState” could just as easily be called the Potato Chip State, since it is known as the Chip Capital of the World!Dozens of prominent snack food companies got their start in Pennsylvania (more than any otherstate). There is a rich history of PA Dutch snack making that has perfected the process of makingthe perfect kettle chips, a technique of making chips that creates a unique crunch and taste unlike a traditional potato chip. ?And now, thanks to a partnership with Harrisburg International Airport, folks traveling to and through our great state can witness the new Dieffenbach's Potato Chipsmodel kettle chip production line!
The hand-crafted model can be admired in the baggage claim area of the airport. The production line shows how local kettle chips are made at roughly a 1/5th scale: 20 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 9 feet tall. The display sections show peeling, slicing, cooking, conveying, seasoning and packaging.
The Dieffenbach’s brand is also sporting a refreshed package design for its 60th Anniversary, featuring the familiar brand banner. The refresh also includes a new “PA Crafted Crunch” seal,designed to embrace the undeniable success of Pennsylvania snacks across several categories. “We are proud to be part of the Pennsylvania tradition of snacking excellence and offer a PACrafted Crunch with our delicious Dieffenbach’s Kettle Chips line”, said Bob Zender, Directorof Marketing.

10 个月Pennsylvania Snacks are the best. You want a thicker old fashioned chip? Dieffenbachs are the way to go. You want a thinner lighter chip, you can't go wrong with Goods. Family staple products that are delicious. Now that I've moved, you need to get product into the Poconos Dwight Zimmerman!
