Take a Potato Chip Factory tour in Pennsylvania

Several factories in York, Pennsylvania produce the snacks we enjoy every day.

More importantly, they all open their doors to public tours. No one has to wait for a TV special on the Food Channel. This is the real deal -- a chance to walk through kitchens larger than most local grocery stores and watch ingredients blended, baked and rolled down assembly lines for inspection and packaging.

You can visit:

Utz Quality Foods in York,

Martin's Potato Chips, in Thomasville,

Snyder's of Hanover in Hanover.

Call or visit individual Web sites for tour times and reservations.
