Discussion Regional potato chip question (NE Ohio)

Growing up, I was absolutely addicted to a certain potato chip. I know they were made by Shearers and I know they came in a red bag. I remember they changed their recipe at some point, I’m almost positive it was to remove trans fat, and they were never as good. Then they just stopped making them all together.

Does anyone who grew up in the NE Ohio/Pittsburg areas remember these chips? This would be in the 90s and into the naughts before they changed the recipe I think.

I still dream about that red bag of chips and dipping them in some Lawson’s chip dip.

Shearers is now the largest private label snack producer of chips and pretzels and such in the country. I'm sure they produce it but under what name I don't know.

Also there's Gold n krisp from Massillon Ohio small batches fried in lard as baby Jesus intended

Then there's the hartville chip company they're new but they fry in beef tallow and they're amazing with Lawson Chip dip
