Bacon Ranch Potato Skins are made from real potatoes and use
dual sheeting technology to create a dark side and a light side,
just like real potato skins. The chips are seasoned with the
perfect combination of savory bacon and zesty ranch to create
a hearty and satisfying snack chip. The suggested retail
prices per 1.75-ounce and 3-ounce bags
are $1.00 and $1.99 - $2.19, respectively.
"To satisfy the current cravings of our consumers, we're
introducing a product that combines two flavors, bacon
and ranch, that are growing now more than ever,"
said Steve Sklar, senior vice president and general
manager for Inventure Foods, Inc. "Flavor development
and innovation are always top of mind for us. We're looking
forward to continuing to build the brand's portfolio with
 delicious snacks that consumers will fall in love with."
Potato Skins are also available in Cheddar Bacon,
Sour Cream & Onion, Cheddar Sour Cream,
Jalapeno Cheddar and Chili Cheese.
Since the brand crossed over to the snack chip aisle
in 2000, the TGI Friday's snack line has become a
consumer favorite in grocery, vending and convenience
channels, providing premium snack options that parallel the
 exciting flavor combinations on Fridays' menus. In addition
