Chances are if you've watched any American comedy you'll
have seen the characters eating Let's potato chips.
Whether you've seen them being eaten in shows like Orange is the New Black, Arrested
Development, The Middle, Ugly Betty, My Name is Earl or Community, you might
have found yourself saying like I did: "Mmmm, they look nice - I fancy a
bag."
It's when you start looking for Let's potato chips that you
hit a rather large snag.
It might surprise you to know - because it sure surprised me
- that they're a fake brand that are manufactured and sold by a company called
ISS Prop House.
What's more, they don't come cheap and cost 40 dollars for a
big bag and 20 dollars for a small bag. So, no spilling any of those lovely
chips, TV show stars because they quite literally cost a packet.
Community is one show that used the chips frequently
throughout the show’s six season (and hopefully a movie) run. The diva of a
Dean is often seen eating them as is Abed and his pal Troy. Abed's favourite TV show also features
Let's potato chips.
In The Middle siblings Axl and Sue Heck even share a bag.
Well, kinda. Axl's not the sharing type.
As well as Let's potato chips, creators ISS Prop House also
have a huge collection of props as well as doing a large range of snacks and
drinks like Henry's chocolate bars, Hooskerdoo cookies, Tit For Tat bars and
Rocky Road ice cream among others.

props they offer here.
According to their site, Let's potato chips come in 3
different flavours and are available for when TV show makers want their actors
to get their snack on.
