Tim's Cascade Snacks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tim's Cascade Snacks, a subsidiary of Birds Eye Foods, is a manufacturer of potato chips and popcorn. Their brands include Tim's Cascade Style Potato Chips and Erin's Gourmet Popcorn. The company was founded in 1986 by Tim Kennedy and its production facilities are located in the U.S. state of Washington. Their "premium quality" potato chips, packaged in distinctive red and white striped bags, are kettle-cooked in peanut oil. Popular flavors include Lightly Salted, Jalapeño, and Maui Onion. In 2003, Tim's won the American Culinary Institute's Gold Medal Taste Award for the potato chip category. Tim's Chips are most prominent in the Pacific Northwest, but they are also marketed elsewhere in the United States and in some parts of Asia.
Aficionados of the brand still lament the removal of the popular Cajun flavor, a spicy barbecue style, less overtly spicy than the Hot! Jalapeno and with none of the smoke present in the Alder Smoke Barbecue. The company still occasionally makes this flavor available as a limited release in regional markets.
