Humpty Dumpty Snack Foods Type Subsidiary Headquarters Montreal, Quebec, Canada Parent Old Dutch Foods Humpty Dumpty Snack Foods is a Canadian food company that packages and sells snack foods. The company is named after the popular nursery rhyme character and features the character as the company logo.
Humpty Dumpty originally sold a variety of potato chips. For the original brand of chips, flavours included Regular, BBQ, Ketchup, Dill Pickle, Salt and Vinegar, Roast Chicken, Sour Cream and Onion, Smokin' Bacon, and a St-Hubert rotisserie chicken flavour.
For their ridged chip line, called Ripples, there were five varieties: Regular, Buffalo Wing, BBQ & Cheddar, Au Gratin, and All-Dressed.
And finally, for their line of kettle-cooked chips, flavours featured were Regular, Jalapeño, Salt and Vinegar, BBQ, and Cheddar.
In 2006, the company was acquired in a takeover bid by Old Dutch Foods. After the acquisition, Humpty Dumpty potato chip products were rebranded as Old Dutch potato chips. Old Dutch Foods though, kept the Humpty Dumpty label, and still sells all the flavours of chips in the USA. In Canada only the snack line appear under the Humpty Dumpty label, not the potato chip line.
The current Humpty Dumpty snack line of products include Bacon & Hickory Potato Sticks, BBQ Corn Chips, BBQ Ringolos, Chedacorn, Cheese Sticks, Cruncheez (in both Regular and Nacho Cheese), Party Mix (Original, Cheesy, and All Dressed), and Sour Cream & Onion Rings. The current Humpty Dumpty Potato chip line of products include (only in the USA) Regular, BBQ, Ketchup, Dill Pickle, Salt and Vinegar, and for a limited time was selling Chedder & Sour Cream during the winter months of 2011. The current Humpty Dumpty Potato ridged chip line of products include (only in the USA) Regular, and All-Dressed.
