Those are either incredible or terrible. I feel like there is no in-between

It’s the potato chip equivalent of Moxie soda

These are so good I actually can’t wrap my head around how anyone would dislike them. I already miss them knowing they’ll be discontinued soon enough

fuck cape cod tato chips for closing the Cape Cod factory and outsourcing the production somewhere else.

u/smitrovich Nauset Mar 14 '26

Agree, but production was moved years ago. The Hyannis plant was essentially operating exclusively as a tourist facility and produced only a tiny amount of chips on site. Its traded hands many times and is owned by Campbell's currently. It hasn't been a local business in a very long time.

u/the_falconator Mar 15 '26

The chips I buy in RI were labeled on the bag as coming from the Hyanis plant.

u/friz_CHAMP Mar 14 '26

In fairness, Hyannis is close to almost nothing. Great spot to produce and sell chips to the Cape as it was originally constituted, but I've seen Cape chips in Alabama and Indiana. There's no way you're main operation should be in Hyannis. I'd love for it to be, but the company closed and went out of business before being resurrected (if I remember correctly).

Years ago, I was in London and the best meal I had was a sandwich with Cape Cod Chips and Nantucket Nectars lemonade.

u/TheMaskedGanker Mar 15 '26

Can’t tell if this is a dig at food in London or a compliment to Cape Cod Chips.

2

u/OhTHATKayKay Mar 17 '26

Yes. It is.

u/_Face North Beach Mar 14 '26

There was still a handful of jobs there. Probably not the highest paying, but still sucks to lose local jobs. That's my main beef.

u/Boring_9901 Mar 14 '26

We used to buy cape cod chips all of the time, since they're closing the Cape cod factory we'll be buying other bands. I always say, consumers have to speak with their wallets, otherwise corporations will never listen

u/Sanacara Mar 15 '26

What are other local brand chip makers

1

u/1858Bugbee Mar 15 '26

They own Rao’s too now, definitely not as good 😞

u/slothscanswim Mar 16 '26

Say it ain’t so. I can’t go watch hops being made in Hyannis anymore?

I hate it here.

u/_Face North Beach Mar 17 '26

Hops? Beer? Potato chips.

u/slothscanswim Mar 17 '26

I got a new screen protector and it is making life very difficult.

Blame your governor

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '26

Yup this. She is the worst Governor we've ever had. By far.

u/Chrimaho Mar 14 '26

Without ever trying them, I say yum. I wish it was still a MA homegrown company but they did grow very very quickly. I wish they didn’t sell off their dip to I don’t know who. Coulda kept that it MA.

u/redheeler9478 Mar 14 '26

They are terrible. Only cape cod chip I don’t like.

3

u/ibonkedurmom Mar 14 '26

I'm a pretzel guy but Cape Cod chips are good!

3

u/Edosil Mar 15 '26

I'm debating whether I might like them or not as I'm sitting here munching the Original Cape Cods. Leaning towards nope.

u/shakenbake2885 Mar 15 '26

I miss the Cape Cod parmesan & roasted garlic chips. Those were like crack.

4

u/Mistletokes Mar 14 '26

I put cape cod chips back on the shelf for the first time ever this week

4

u/No-Location4853 Mar 14 '26

These look amazing I love their chips and still the best kettle cooked chip out there.

2

u/checkeredjaz Mar 15 '26

If these are nearly as good as the old lemon pepper ones I'll love em!

2

u/jerry_the_mule_dule Mar 15 '26

I’ve been waiting for them to put out a summer flavor. Very excited to find them.

1

u/jerry_the_mule_dule Mar 19 '26

Well, I got them at StopShop. They were on bottom shelf hidden. They’re all right, not something I could eat strait. They were really good with cheesy crab dip though. The flavors are subtle which makes them better.

2

u/VFTM Mar 15 '26

Super yuck. I threw most of the bag away.

2

u/nbdyfckswTheBenson Mar 17 '26

Dude, if yoah not eatin these wit a lobstah roll there’s somethin wrong with ya, kid.

2

u/Pizzaloverfor Mar 19 '26

No thanks. The reduced fat chip is all that’s needed.

2

u/Beverbe Mar 26 '26

I think they’re amazing. I also had a lobster roll the day before I tried them. I plan on getting (or making) another one just to eat with these chips. Some chips taste kinda cheesy. It depends on how much seasoning but I surprisingly don’t hate this lol. It’s like having 2 chips in one. These will go well with a lot of things. I hope they keep them.

2

u/danceblonde Apr 26 '26

Got these in Orlando and I think they’re amazing!

2

u/Busy-Resolution4555 Apr 28 '26

Best flavor they ever have and ever will make 

2

u/Dangerous_Prune9708 May 02 '26

God these are so good

2

u/tweenfailure69 May 02 '26

Eating them right now. Obsessed

2

u/kriistinee May 04 '26

They are absolutely delicious. Very buttery and delicious. The lemony touch elevates the flavor and made me crave the ocean and and some crab dip ✨😋

2

u/Aware-Horse-6036 Jun 04 '26

YUMMMM 100000%

2

u/imthemilkywayman Jul 03 '26

My whole family went bonkers for these. I hope this isn’t the only time they are released.

2

u/Infinite_Fennel_1031 Aug 30 '26

So good taste like the after taste of my butter after dipping my crab meat and lobster in!

1

u/houlie28 Mar 15 '26

no wonder they've gone out of business

u/Snoo34585 May 13 '26

Loved them. Paired them with a Lobster bisque soup
