From Pork Rinds to Cheese Curls, Grippo's brings fun to the party!

Jen Rock returned from Louisville with an Eat Me surprise - two bags of Grippo's Triple Heat BBQ Chips and they are sooooo goood. I can't really remember if they're called Triple Heat because you can't read it in the picture and the bag quickly got demolished. But they were hot and triple good, so Triple Heat it is.
Here's Jen at Preservation Pub hugging her bag of Grippo's:

Too bad we can't get them in Tennessee because I would eat them all the time, with every meal. Including breakfast and fourth meal. I might even eat a fifth meal made entirely of Grippo's. I was curious about these "Grippo's" so I did a little research, and here is what I found at the Grippo's web site :

Grippo's has been making their delicious snack foods since 1919!
In 1930, Angelo Grippo invented the loop pretzel! Mr. Grippo wanted a simple pretzel that could be made easily and would resist breakage! The loop pretzel looks like a tear drop! Mr Grippo not only invented but also constructed and put into operation the pretzel looping machines!
Today, Grippo's pretzels come in a variety of sizes; Rods, Super Thins, Twist, Loop!
You can buy all Grippo's products online, including 60 bags of chips for $18!
Pork rinds are advertised as low carb!
Grippo's is the original "Fun Food Company" because they've been having fun satisfying your craving for snack food for over 80 years! (Since 1919, remember?!)
When someone tells you to "get a grip!" you know what they mean...get Grippo's!

This is Mr. Angelo Grippo, and his wife, whose name is not given, but I'm gonna call her Rosalie, although she looks more like an Esther.

  1. Grippo's are yummy. They recently became available at our (not-so-hot) Food City here in Whitesburg, KY, and it was a VERY BIG DEAL. Now we don't have to drive 45 minutes to get them. The pork rinds are yummy, but I recommend the bbq chips crushed up as a topping for a hot dog, or mixed in with breading when frying anything.

  2. That's a great idea for breading, Lark.
