No. They aren't. My parents had a Charles Chips route. The key with Charles Chips was the myriad of types before it was a thing. Most stores had regular and maybe BBQ. Charles had those and Garlic, Sour Cream/Onion, Hickory and No Salt. Of course there was also five gallon tubs, pretzels, cookies, caramel corn, peanut brittle. Yum.

The company sourced the potatoes from Idaho, and a bad crop meant small, green potatoes and higher prices. That got a lot of people to cancel. The company was based in Pennsylvania, and considered Bachman chips/pretzels as the competition.

I was the naughty kid who snuck into the step van and took one chip from dozens of cans. That was pre-Tylenol scare. Very high trust society.
