We have a company in WV called Mister Bee Potato chips. They have been around as far back as I can remember.
I think they are just regional, maybe the tri-state area at best.
Never found them when I was in the south or south west.
Anyways they used to be great chips.
Within the last last couple of years they have changed. I think they changed the oils they used and now they suck. Just no flavor what so ever. Really is a shame.
Well a few years ago my cousin was stationed in Kuwait with a bunch of his buddies from a WV NG unit.
I wrote and sent him some stuff and asked what else would he like. Turns out he and his buddies were craving some Mister Bee potato chips. For those that have loved ones or friends over in the middle east and you don't know what to send them in care packages...it is often the smallest things that we take for granted that is missed and appreciated.
I give credit to the company at the time. So I was talking with my mom and said we should write a letter to Mister Bee chip company. We worked it out and sent the letter telling them that it would be a nice thing, and good press for them, to have a WV company sending some free chips to soldiers from WV.
They agreed and sent a large shipment over to my cousin's unit and of course we told a few of the local papers about it and in turn some other papers in the state picked up the story so it was good for the soldiers and good for the company.
But as I stated earlier...they really do suck now since they changed the oil or flavorings they used.
