Mike-sell's

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mike-sell's Potato Chip Company is a Dayton, Ohio-based producer of potato chips and other snack foods. It bills itself as the "oldest potato chip company in the United States." [1] Mike-sells products are produced in Dayton and Indianapolis, Indiana, and are sold in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, West Virginia, and Tennessee.

Mike-sell's was founded by Daniel W. Mikesell in Dayton, Ohio in 1910 as a producer of dried beef and sausage. However, the company soon began producing "Saratoga Chips." The "Mike-sell's" name and logo were adopted in 1925 [2].

Varieties produced by the company include Original, Groovy, Old Fashioned, Reduced Fat, No Salt, Green Onion, Honey Barbecue, Barbecue, Cheddar & Sour Cream, Sour Cream & Sweet Onion, and Salt & Cracked Pepper. Mike-sell's makes other products, including pretzels and hull-less "puffcorn delites." Puffcorn delites are made in three flavors--original, cheese, and butter.
