Nalley's Potato Chips

Certified cool

This is one of the coolest ads that I've found in a long time. It's for Nalley's Red Seal Potato Chips, from the Denver Post, May 6, 1962.

Such an incredible looking package. And if the Squirrel isn't cool enough, how about that Fun Chef?

Nalley's is a brand from the Northwest. From what I've been able to gather, they are now part of Birdseye, but looks like they no longer make chips.

Does anyone know if the Squirrel had a name?

Cool. Growing up here in B.C. in the 70's Nalley's was one of the two most commonly found potato chip brands ( the other was Old Dutch ), but this packaging pre-dates me.

I would buy pretty much anything that came in a package like that, let alone light, fresh, noisy, delicious, potato chips.

I like that they have to be NOISY!!! (Just don't tell my housemate about them, he's noisy enough on his own!!!)

[:::] Glen -- Do you remember seeing that squirrel in the '70s?

[:::] Gitwithit -- That's a surprise, seeing how many ads you've posted to Flickr! :-)

[:::] Tokka -- Nice squirrels.

[:::] DirtDirt -- I hear you! (I dig your Frankenberry icon too.)

[:::] Zombophoto -- I'm with you on that. I'd buy just about anything in a cool package like that.

[:::] Paula -- Noisy sounds good to me!

[:::] Grickily -- Wow! Nalley's Squirrel, outer space style! Very cool. Do you know any more about the Squirrel, like the years he was used and maybe his name? Thanks for sharing the pic.

I'm afraid not. Our family tended to buy Old Dutch which is still very common and the packaging art hasn't changed as much as many others. So I remember it much better.

(Hmmm...I keep trying, but the little images don't seem to come up for me anymore...just the address for the post. What am I doing wrong? It used to work!)
