The history of Saratoga Chips starts back in 1853. The potato chip was invented in Saratoga Springs, NY by a man named George Crum.
The “Saratoga Chip” was widely sold and distributed until the 1920′s when Herman Lay changed the “Saratoga Chip” name to potato chip, automated the manufacturing process and sold the “potato chip” nationally.
Sadly, the Saratoga Chip had fallen off the market for 90 years.
In June of 2009 they reintroduced the Moon Brand Original Saratoga Chips to the market in the original packaging from 1853.
In 2013 they have announced their new look and flavors and have more plans in the future.
At the latest Chips Festival in July 2016, the Original Saratoga Kettle Chips won two important medals, beating over 50+ other products, including several industry titans.
The Original Saratoga Chips were chosen "Best Plain Chip" during the Festival, while the new "Old Glories" Chips were voted "Best Anything Goes Chip".
