My dad was born and raised on a farm in Byron, just outside of Rockford and grew up eating Mrs. Fisher's Chips. He moved to Seattle, Washington before starting his family but has always missed the sights, sounds and tastes of Illinois. I heard about Mrs. Fisher's Chips for the first time when I was about 8 because my dad had discovered them online and was jumping for joy to see that he could have them delivered across the country to him. My family has been enjoying Mrs. Fisher's ever since as they have become a very special "signature" to our family. Thank you for providing my dad with such wonderful memories and for allowing him to share them with me.

I was born and raised
in Rockford so I was introduced to your chips at an early age. I have
always loved the taste and there is no other chip that tastes quite
like it. I now reside in Northeast Missouri and have 15 grandchildren
and when I take trips back to Rockford I had better bring a carload
of chips back with me. All of my friends and neighbors have also fallen
in love with these chips. Now that I can order these online I’ll
never run out.
Lorraine
My sister in law
lives in Rockford. The first time we were visiting her she has Mrs.
Fishers Chips at the house. I fell in love. I’m a potato chip
nut and no chip compares to yours. Every time we travel to each others
homes our cars are always loaded with your chips. I live outside of
Pittsburgh PA. Everyone back here who tastes the chips want to know
what brand they are and where we got them. We give them your email
address and offer them directions to your shop in case they want to
see the chips actually being made. You were very kind when we stopped
in over the summer to get our chips.

I grew up in Rockford & used
to deliver newspapers to the owner's of Mrs. Fisher's. They used to
give me a free bag of their chips all the time. That was my first exposure
to these great chips. That was back in 1975, so I am not sure if the
ownership has changed since then, but the chips sure haven't! Then
I remember the weekly trips with my dad to fill our 1 pound containers
with you fresh, sometimes warm chips! I joined the Marine Corps in
1981 and was stationed in El Toro, CA. I remember placing orders or
20 to 25 tubs of chips on more than 1 occasion. The employees at both
Mrs. Fisher's and UPS must have hated me back then. I am very pleased
to see Mrs. Fisher's on the web. I used to mail a check for those large
purchases of the past & the turnaround to get the chips seemed
like it took forever. I am pleased to say my last experience only took
a week to get my chips here on Buena Park, CA. Great job Mrs. Fisher's
associates!!!

I
grew up on Mrs. Fisher's; that is until my family moved to Texas in 1978.
Relatives would always ship a box down for Christmas and special occasions
and whenever any of us returns to Rockford for a visit, Mrs. Fisher's
is a mandatory stop. However, each visit requires a larger order as we've
managed to "recruit" a rather large following down here.
Thanks for bringing
a touch of my childhood closer than ever.

Recently,
I stopped at a supermarket in Rockford, IL. A clerk suggested I purchase
a bag of your chips. Normally I purchase another brand.
I brought the chips
home and served them at a party. Everyone stated how great they were.
You made a believer out of me. Problem is, no one in DePere, WI sells
your brand. I get to Rockford on occasion and will purchase them again
at that time. Seems wrong that the rest of my area can't enjoy your products.
Thanks again for the
great product.

My
family grew up on Mrs. Fisher's chips. When my parents moved to Rockford
in the early 60's they were hooked on Mrs. Fisher's. Later on my mom had
jaw surgery and had to have her jaws shut for 6 weeks. She said the first
thing she was going to indulge in after the wires were removed was Mrs.
Fisher's. Now they have moved back to their hometown after retirement.
When they come back to Rockford for a visit... the first place they stop
at is the grocery store to grab a big 1# bag of Mrs. Fisher's chips. And
when I go to visit them...the last stop out of town is to grab a bag of
Mrs. Fisher's to take to them.
It is nice to
see a product that has no need to do the "New and Improved" thing.
Mrs. Fisher's chips doesn't need to improve. They are PERFECT the way
they are!

My name is Linda
Goodpasture and I live in Atchinson, KS. I born in Rockford and
grew up in Loves Park, IL and moved to Kansas in 1976. My mother
came from Chisholm, MN for nurses training at St. Anthony's hospital
in 1943. She and her nursing friends had to eat the hospital cafeteria
food which was not to great at that time! She used to tell us kids
that her favorite thing to do would be to go across the street to
a little corner grocery store and buy a bag of Mrs. Fisher's chips
and a pint of ice cream! Oh she said it was heavenly! She made all
of us (we had 7 children in our family!) lovers of Fisher's chips!
I have two sisters who also live in Kansas and whenever we come back
to Rockford we bring back lots of bags of chips! There are no chips
around here that can compare to Mrs. Fisher's!! When we come back
to Rockford, we have our sister there send us bags! My mother and
father have passed away but we will always have a fond memory of
her little story about the starving nurses who feasted on Mrs. Fisher's
chips to get them through nurses training!!

I remember
as a child going to Mrs. Fishers after swimming at the 10th Ave swimming
pool and buying a bag of "crumbs" for 1 cent. I moved from Rockford many
years ago but have never lost my love for Mrs. Fishers. My kids and co-workers
are always asking for more. I'm glad to see you are online to make my
ordering easier.

& Tracy Hobart
Las Vegas, NV
"We
could eat a giant tub a week." Dave and Tracy Hobart moved from Rockford
to Las Vegas, NV over three years ago.
Every few months the
couple has to have a shipment of Mrs. Fisher’s sent by Dave’s
mother via Fed Ex. Dave says, "Now if we could only get a shipment
of Muller Pinehurst French Onion Dip to arrive with the chips. The two
are incredible together."

I
was spending the New Year with my, not known then, fiance, in Dallas Texas,
he was so excited that his sister came to spend the new year with us.
In the midst of the proposal taking place, he was so nervous that he
ate some of your chips, and said to me, Liz, these are the best chips
in the world, will you marry me, now coming in second to your chips, I
guess I would have to say that the ends of the earth, or Dallas, Texas,
and your chips are imbedded in my head for life. I will never forget this,
as we have it on Video.

Growing
up in Rockford, Mrs. Fisher's chips were a main course during my teens.
Don't tell the folks. While serving in the Air Force my sister would send
some on a regular basis. While in Korea, I received a Christmas Package
and talk about a remembrance of home, Mrs. Fisher's chips. Just this
year, 2002, I had the pleasure of meeting a young Captain, who's from
Rockford as well. We chatted only to find out that we both loved Mrs.
Fisher's. She recently went back to Rockford and upon her return, presented
me with 3 large bags of Mrs. Fisher's. STILL TASTES THE SAME, GREAT!"

Well
where to begin. I was raised on Fishers. It was in the 60's that both my
mother and father made them when you were on 7th Street I believe. My parents
would bring them home as fast as we could eat them. So I have been eating
them all my life.
I now live in Mountain
Home Arkansas where people look at you and say what's the big deal about
a chip. Well I had to get some the next trip to Rockford just so they
could try them. And yes they are hooked. :) They love them. And now it
is so great that I can order them and have them any time I want. Thanks
so much for continuing a great product.

I
first had Mrs. Fisher's Chips about 10 years ago when I came to visit my
now Mother and Father in law. Ever since then I have been hooked!!!!!!
My husband highly suggests a 12 step program for me (ha ha). My wonderful
mother-in-law over the years has sent me cases of chips and I have reluctantly
shared them with others. There are no other chips like them anywhere.
I am so excited that you finally have a website because it just makes
that much easier to order the worlds best potato chip.
Sincerely,

Hi everyone:
This is Joe Delia from southern California excited about your company having
a web site so now we can order Mrs. Fisher's Potato Chips out here in
southern California. My mother, Gerry Delia, always brings us Mrs. Fisher's
when she visits Rockford.
My father Joe Delia
worked with Mr. Paul Diventi at Ingersoll. We use to give Mr. Diventi
a ride home when I was very young. Just to inform you, I have a business
out here and I have used Mrs. Fishers for my snacks and the people
out here love them. I am going to pass on your website to many of them
and tell them you can now order them on line.

First of
all, what a wonderful website. I can almost taste it. I grew up in Rockford
in the 40's and 50's and left to go to MA to college, never to move back.
When my parents met me at O'Hare, I insisted they bring a huge bag of
Mrs. Fisher's, just to get me home. I would have them for breakfast the
next day. When I couldn't get home, I would beg my mom to send me a huge
box full for Christmas or birthdays. Recently I have begged my sister
to send me the large container whenever possible. She discovered that
they can be frozen. I found that hard to believe, but it is true. They
are unbelievable right out of the freezer. Recently I tried to convince
my neighborhood store to stock them, converting them with free samples.
I considered being an outlet for them myself for a time since all my
friends
are now hooked. My kids tease me about this fanatical passion, but recently
my son begged me to send him a batch because "it wouldn't be Christmas
without Mrs. Fisher's" in California. When we sit around and consider
what we would have to take with us into the next life, everyone looks
at me and says in unison: "Mrs. Fisher's"
Mrs. Fisher's are
Mom, Home and certainly Heaven.
