What you're getting

Potatoes. Oil. Salt.

Charles Chips tin on its side, chips spilling onto the counter
Thin-cut, salted.

You taste the potato, not the oil. Same three ingredients and the same recipe since 1942. Nothing else on the label.

A pound is a lot of chips.

Sixteen servings, two family-size bags' worth, in one tin.

The tin stays.

When it runs low, a refill bag fills it back up. The tin keeps its spot on the counter.

Sending it to someone?

One in four of these tins goes to somebody else.

A brother in Colorado. A dad who won't say what he wants. It arrives ready to hand over, no wrapping, no prices inside. Write a note and we tuck it in the box.

Questions you've asked

What if something arrives wrong?
Every tin is packed to travel, sealed and boxed. If yours shows up with anything wrong, send us one photo and we take care of it. One email. No forms, no back-and-forth.
Is it the tin you remember? How big is it?
Some of you remember a bigger one from the truck days. This is the one-pound tin: 8½ inches tall, 8 across. Sixteen 1-oz servings, about 19 chips each, roughly two family-size bags' worth. Same recipe inside.
When does it get there? Do you ship to my state?
All 50 states, USPS. It ships in 2 to 5 business days, then USPS transit.
How fresh is it?
Every tin carries a best-by date on the lid. You're getting chips made this season, not last year's.
Is this the same recipe as the truck days?
Yes. Potatoes, oil, salt, since 1942. The tin got smaller over the years. The chip didn't change.
Can I buy just the refill?
Yes. The 8 oz Original refill bag is $8.25, or pick the Tin + Refill Bag above.
How do I clean the tin?
Wipe it with a dry cloth. Keep it out of the dishwasher and the sink; steel and standing water don't get along.
How does the subscription work?
A tin every 1 or 2 months at 5% off. Skip, pause or cancel from your account any time.

What people say"Not too much salt and not too much oil. You taste the chips, not like the others where all you taste is salt." Joseph F., verified buyerMost of you say the taste is the one you remember, and that the tin ends up staying in the kitchen for years. The most common question is about size: this is the one-pound tin, smaller than the big one from the truck days.
