Description
Sort of like Fritos but bigger and without all the extra salt. Had temporary tattoos inside that were of Indian things like arrowheads and bow and arrows. The tattoos were not food coloring based like the Cracker Jack ones, but slide off in one piece after being wet with a cloth. Couldn't get them off except with baby oil! The chips were great. Much better than Fritos. I used to eat these by the bag with a Tiger Red cream soda to wash them down.

These were my favorite for lunch when I was in High School. I liked the HOT ones they were soo good. I wish I could find them. They were a thicker chip and the seasoning was so hot it was almost sweet. Give me a bag of those a lemon drink half frozen and Iam set !!

I remember the HOT Indian Corn Chips. They were good and had such a distinct flavor that I can't think of anything to compare it to.

You can't, Galactus - Politcal Correctness is all the rage of the 21st Century, remember??

I remember Indian Corn Chips & that distinctive yellow bag! These were wider than standard corn chips, & had a better flavor than Fritos! In fact, no other corn chip came close to Indian Corn Chips. I don't remember the Hot or BBQ Indian Corn Chips, though. I wish these one-of-a-kind corn chips were still around!

I tried some Mike-Sell's Barbecue Corn Chips that reminded me of the Indian Corn Chips in flavor although the size and the texture of the chip was more like Fritos. It was the closest thig I've had in year.

I too remember the silver bag!! i'm from northern california and our local deli (Togo's) carried them for a couple of years. Couldnt get any info as to where the chips went. I have found a chip at my local dollar tree that carries under the banner of Harvest Snacks. This chip is kinda frito-ish/Indian corn-ish weighing more on the Indian side. Not bad but I sure miss the "ICC's"

Can somebody tell me if these corn chips are under another brand name. I really miss Granny Goose native american corn chips.

I tried the hot Sundance brand corn chips a couple of years ago, and the taste reminded me of the old Indian corn chips. Could it be?

Snak King is now the owner of Granny Goose chips. I emailed and asked them to bring the Native American chip back. Here is their email contact www.snakking.com/contact.aspx Lets all give them a message to bring them back.

I used to eat the indian corn chips every day a in high school, I loved them. I wish I could find them now.

Indian Corn Chips were the best, way better than Fritos, and it was sad when they disappeared. I often think about them and wish they were still around...
Marc - February 23, 2014 - Report this comment
I live in Northern California and used to get these all the time....they were the best! Everybody, please contact Snak King and request that they reintroduce the "Native American" corn chips. They were superb, and fit today's healthy food trends, because they were made from coarsely cracked corn--whole grain! Links are not allowed, but just search for "Snak King" and go to their contact page.

I bought some granny goose corn chips from the 99cent store. I got them at the Culver City location. Try your dollar stores.

Was the name WIGWAM BBQ Corn Chips? I can't find them anywhere but I loved them. Wide corn chip with lots of BBQ flavor.

Are you interested in buying coin operated horses or spring rocking horses??? They are sold on Ebay. Most spring horses are made by Blazon, Wonder, Flexible Flyer, and Radio Flyer. Feel free to buy as many as you like. Good luck!!! :) Ebay account required.

Wampum B-B-Q Corn Chips by Laura Scudders I think is the one I remember.

I grew up in central KY and my favorite corn chips were Indian Corn Chips. I haven't seen them I was in high school probably and that was in the 70’s. They were the best and they were a favorite after school snack. We always had them instead of Frito's but they just disappeared. I wonder what happened to them. Wish I could find them.

Central Nebraska, they were my favorite as well. Yes, a yellow bag, more the size of the Fritos larger corn chips. I used to buy a Frostie Root Beer to have with them...... We all understand that they are not PC but should still exist under another name.

I loved Indian Corn Chips. Thicker, tastier and over-all much better than Fritos. Grew up in suburban St. Louis. We always had a bag on hand. Wish they were still around. Not even sure what company produced them.

I remember having them in 1969 when I lived in Danville, IL. I don't remember ever seeing them later n the 70s or 80s.

Loved tine Indian BBQ Corn chips along with a Coke for breakfast when I was in college, around 1982. In Cape Girardeau, MO.

I think they are the Old Vienna (St. Louis) Corn Chips now. They taste as good to me and come in hot and BBQ. I used to love the originals too. They probably got rid of Indian to not be offensive they did it before political correctness became a thing.

I used to love these chips as a little girl and teen. My mother bought no other brand because they couldn't compare to Old Vienna. Nothing ever came close until a couple of years ago I found corn chips made by Trader Joe's that were exactly the same taste and texture as the ones I remember.

"Great Value" corn chips are the closest to them that I have found.

I remember the Indian CornChips we used to get them from our Teacher Mrs. Saliba at Clark School in St. Louis Mo.for a quarter they were wide and thick and I will never forget the taste! Sundance Corn Chips used to taste like them. Then Old Vienna took the name away and took the trans fats out and called them BBQ Corn Chips they are not the same anymore the closest to them are the Utz BBQ Corn and their Potato Chips are the closest taste to the chips in the 80’s Uncle Ray’s Potato Chips have a taste like the 80’s also. It seemed like when they took the trans fats out of the food people started dying getting sick and having diabetes,heart attacks. In the 80’s people lived to be in their 90’s now people are 40 having bad health issues if they will leave the foods alone and put trans fats back the world will be healthier you really didn’t see a overweight person in the 80’s. But that’s a different story altogether.
