Oh, he’s Slim Chiply
The guy you see
On the Paramount Potato Chips
Bright red sack
He’s the flavor deputy
Protecting crispness in every pack
They’re nutritious
And so delicious
Yes, sir’ee they’re pips!
Paramount Potato Chips
Ever get old commercials stuck in your head?
This is the one that's stuck in mine. Almost all the time.
I've tried to share it with Alison and the boys, more times than they care for me to do. But..whoops...there it is.
They were made in Flint, Michigan, just 30 minutes or so from where I lived. According to the interwebs, they ceased production very badly.
Alison collects old tins, so if anyone has a line on one, let me know.
Man, too much research. Eleventy minutes already gone!
Stay safe!
Stay chippy!

This is crazy. I googled the word "pips" and this site came up. I was trying to figure out what the expression meant. This commercial popped into my head out of the clear blue-- scary!! and that's what prompted me to Google "pips". Ive lived in Michigan my entire life. A TV station we used to watch in the 70's based in Lansing used to run these commercials. We used to chuckle at the little potato chip "sheriff" striding through the commercial as "he" sang the jingle. I was a pre-teen then. Miss the old days...great times!!
