    Red face 'Anyone Ever Have (Or Wanted) One Of These As A Kid?'

    When I was growing up, you had the coolest pencil in class...even moreso if you had the blue & whito Jay's Potato Chip pencil...(Chicagoans will know what I'm talking about here..)...

    Oh my.....

    So politically incorrect.

    You're going to be shut down Panther.....but I bet these are worth something to the right collector.

    So not from Chicago so I have no clue what yer talking about.

    My daughter on the other hand, when she was younger at least, always had to have something other than an standard eraser for her pencils. I must have spent a fortune on them.

    TeaSea,
    I did ponder that before I posted - especially since all the Frito stuff has been banned....

    Snuffy,
    The recently closed "Jay's Potato Chip" factory in Chicago was a huge icon. Virtually everyone ate "Jay's Potato Chips"...

    Panther,...you bein' a Chicago type guy,....and I being a Chicago type guy,....I've got a question for you. Ok?
    Question: Before Jay's potato chips were called 'Jay's',...what was the name of the company beforehand and why was the name changed???

    Growing up in Denver, Mom only bought Hod Sander's "Clover Club" chips. I miss the barbecue flavored ones. That and a bottle of the original style "Orange Crush" in a chilled glass bottle, I was in kid heaven.

    Panther,...before WWII,...the company was known as 'Japps' potato chip company. After December 7th, 1941....the name was changed to Jays.
    You can still buy Jays snacks,...however, they're not made in Chicago anymore. I think in Indiana. Too bad.
    As a kid,...I always thought they were the best tasting chip around. Still do.

    Cool collectables Panther, tho I've never seen them before. Up in Northern NY we had the Frito Bandito on tv commercials, but never saw those being offered anywhere.
