We never really had regional chips in California that I remember, or should I say, that were memorable chips. I don't think Laura Scudder's is around any more, and maybe it was a National chip? Tom's used to be in Fresno (maybe they were National too and just had a plant there), but I think they went big time and moved to St Louis. They were more snack size and 7-11 type and I was always to cheap to buy a small bag of chips for $11!
