Nathan's Famous® is celebrating its 100th year this summer, and Inventure Foods, Inc. is joining in the celebration with the expansion of its licensed line of Nathan's snacks, including a new potato chip flavored like Nathan's most iconic hot dog, complete with the taste of ketchup, mustard and relish.
Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Potato Chips snack will be available in 1.25-ounce bags sold in vending machines as well as 4.0-ounce bags sold in select grocery and convenience stores nationwide beginning this month. The suggest retail price is $1.00 and $1.99 per package, respectively.
The classic Hot Dog Potato Chips pack a flavorful punch that is remarkably accurate in its replication of the quintessential dog. The chips are just 150 calories per serving, are gluten-free and have zero trans fats.

"This snack is sure to be a favorite among not only Nathan's Famous hot dog fans but also the general consumer looking for great American flavor in their potato chip – at an upcoming baseball game or backyard BBQ."
