Potatoes.”This vintage Planters Potato Chips canister comes from the glorious age of stacked potato chips, polyester pants and food packaging that wasn’t afraid of the color BLUE.The label proudly announces:“NEW!”Which is technically still true if you haven’t seen one since 1977.Manufactured by Standard Brands, Inc., New York, N.Y., this 4½-ounce container features the classic Planters branding and Mr. Peanut graphics.CAN IS EMPTY.Please do not purchase this expecting a 50-year-old potato-chip tasting experience.Container shows vintage storage wear, including scuffs, scratches, creases and general age-related wear. Lid is present. See photos carefully for exact condition.Perfect for a collector of vintage Planters advertising, Mr. Peanut memorabilia, discontinued snack foods, grocery-store packaging, 1970s kitchen décor, or anyone who wants to confuse guests with:“Wait… PLANTERS MADE POTATO CHIPS?!”Yes.The ’70s were a lawless time.PriceThis is one I’d start higher than the little novelty items you’ve been showing me.
