Herr's chips prank? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Ok, so at first when I saw this in my kitchen I thought my grandparents brought them over. They live out near Nottingham, PA where the Herr's factory is and you can buy products not up to shipping standards at the factory at a discounted price, so I thought maybe this misprint was a joke. But my mom told me she picked them up at the store the other day. This picture was not photoshopped.

What da dilly, yo? I don't really care if they're HIS or HERR's. They're MINE now and they taste fine.

I am guessing its a cheap Taiwanese ebay rip off of herr's chips. Beware, it may be made from burmese soda cans.

umm wtf, thats the exact font, picture, colors, etc. that Herr's uses on their bags.

DoubleOughtCel · 02-07-2007, 01:15 AM

I know, its not a photoshop, and my mom bought it at the supermarket, haha. They are real chips, and they taste the same.

Just so you know, I will be sellig this on eBay. But I'll be building a shrine to it this week and if anyone wants to stop by and be awestruck, I'll let you see it for $10. I hope goldenpalace.com buys it.

Just in time for Father's Day, Herr Foods announces the politically correct answer to its popular Herr's Potato Chips. Introducing "HIS" Potato Chips, with the same crisp and tasty flavor customers have loved for 60 years.

"This is a fun way to recognize dads," said Ed Herr, president of Herr Foods, in a prepared statement. "Plus we're supporting a worthwhile cause - the National Fatherhood Initiative."

**Apparently it's His and Herr's for Valentine's now**

you know in china they have imitation eggs now, they create the shell and you crack it open and everything. Apparently is is less costly to manufacter fake eggs than just have chickens plop them out.

DoubleOughtCel · 02-07-2007, 02:23 AM

Haha, I knew there had to be some type of marketing ploy behind it, but I took a quick glance at their website earlier and didn't find anything.

97TurboDSM · 02-07-2007, 02:25 AM

eek, i cant believe that fake eggs would taste anywhere near as good as the real deal

jspek · 02-07-2007, 02:50 AM

97TurboDSM · 02-07-2007, 02:52 AM
