IT’S KREESTMOOS TIME!!!!
We have a festive rerun for you from a previous year!
In other news…
First, this comic is brought to you again by the good people who support me on Patreon, with a special shout-out to The Lurker and Jeremy, who are both Mayor of Pucksburg for this month! They are both unbelievably stalwart in their support. Maybe you’re generous enough to join them! CHECK OUT THE PATREON!!!
As for this comic…
For those not in the know, all-dressed chips combine the flavors of sour cream and onion, ketchup, barbecue AND salt and vinegar chips into one ungodly yet glorious masterpiece. They have recently started to break out of Canada and are currently trying to take over America. We shall see if the invasion is successful.
No wonder the raccoons around my house show no respect – I’ve been offering American chips!
Well, I guess Lay’s has started selling all-dressed chips in America this year, so … you still have hope!
WHERE!?! Inquiring minds (and tummys) want to know!
I guess Lay’s started selling them. So check your local grocer!
One Walgreens in OKC has them available… and they were out of stock, but will get more Friday. So Merry Christmas to you and thanks for all you do!
Merry Christmas to you, good sir. And may Christmas bring chips to you and yours!
I have seen them in grocery stores and gas station stores in Ohio recently
She’s right. I love those things. But I didn’t go hop on a plane. Lays has them dude.
But Gecko, “she’ll you the secret”? I think something was missing
I fixed it. And wow! I’m seeing on Wikipedia that Lay’s brought all-dressed chips to the United States for the first time in 2025. Amazing. Our Canadian genius spreads…
The Hat delivers!
That’s mean Daphne. Funny, but mean.
And boy, did you deliver th!
What chips? And I’m in sunny Iowa right now for the holidays. It’ll be a while before I can find an excuse to go to Canada. But could I come back . . .
All-dressed chips. They’ve come to the United States now. Try them. They’re sour cream-and-onion, barbecue, ketchup and salt-and-vinegar, all in one.
I will look for it. And thank you for the th!
Wow. I have to say that I am a bit surprised how Daphne convinced Emily to help out and it’s based on a very much little lie. I mean Emily could have been hurt if not for the raccoons backing her up.
Well, thank goodness for raccoons. They keep everyone safe.
Huh. Never ever heard of all dressed potato chips before.
Not really surprising as I’m Australian. But we do love our chips. Packet and hot variety.
I can take or leave US imported food, but Canadian stuff is different. If I ever see some in an importer, I might have to try them.
Canadians don’t have much to cling to for culture. But yeah, similarly, the stores here always have British goods but Australian stuff is NEVER on the shelves. How am I gonna do a Tim Tam slam without the Tim Tams? HOW?
We get Tim Tams.
You all are too modest.
I’m sorry.
And what about those crumbly chocolate bars are. A type of butterfinger style.
You are thinking of Crispy Crunch. They are my favorite. And infinitely superior to Butterfinger. Though I do like Butterfinger too.
Maybe the raccoons dig chicks dressed like Minnie Mouse.
That’s the REAL secret.
According to Wikipedia: “All-dressed (French: assaisonnées or French: toute garnie[1]) is a potato chip flavour popular in Canada. It is a combination of ketchup, BBQ, sour cream and onion, and salt and vinegar.”
In my imagination, I see two Canadians, two very stoned Canadians, from the far northern reaches of the country. They’re sitting on a couch munching on chips as the northern lights dance through a picture window in the living room.
“You know what I think?” says one, staring thoughtfully at a sour cream and onion chip pulled from one of the assorted bags in front of them. “These would be so much better if they just put all the flavors on them at once. Then you wouldn’t have to choose. They’d just all be there in one big-assed bag.”
The other shrugs, takes a bong hit, and replies through exhaled smoke. “Maybe….. Maybe we should experiment with that” and, saying that, stacks three different flavored chips on top of each other.
“The colors look nice,” the other observes. “How’s it taste.”
“Canadian, man,” the stacker replies. “That is really Canadian.”
The Quebecois blend the American love of salt, fat and junk food with the French taste for exceptional quality. All the best Canadian junk food originates in Quebec.
All Dressed Chips? Well I’ll be darned. Now we won’t have to buy four separate bags of chips and mix them together in a bowl! I sure hope they make it all the down south to our local Piggly Wiggly. Sounds like they’ll go great with a jar of Alabama’s own Wickles.
Merry Christmas, Friend Gecko! Thanks for all the fun you bring us.
And now I hope that Wickles Pickles somehow make the journey up here. Cuz they look amazing.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, good sir. May the chips be ever in your flavor.
Tne REALLY important question is: Does Lay’s import Ketchup Chips to the US?
I haven’t seen them. But I have seen smaller brands like Utz or Herr’s attempt the flavour and they were not good.
Ketchup Chips were an option in some OKC local convenience stores. Being high was an essential state to their enjoyment.
I hope Trader Joe’s will offer this all-dressed flavor. I know that chain
Isn’t in Canada. I can’t help thinking of the saying “All dressed-up but nowhere to go.” 😉
Now you have somewhere to go when you’re all dressed up: the chip aisle.
No Hannah or Miranda in the search and find?
There were … oversights.
Hmmm . . . the secret to training raccoons is all-dressed potato chips . . . well, sure, that makes sense. Hey, sometimes wild guesses totally made out of desperation and panic hit on the truth!
The story of most of the world’s inventions and discoveries. Our ancestors found out everything edible by being desperate and just trying the random thing to see if it made you die or not.
I brought a family size bag of Ruffles All Dressed back to Ohio after visiting my brother for Christmas. It lasted two days. 🙁
Two days? That’s WAY too long!
lololol
Always hated those things. Can’t stand the smell.
I’ll take my Old Dutch ketchup chips. Or Mexican Chili.
Old Dutch. Hostess sucks the sweat from a dead man’s balls. Except those fruit pies at 7-11
Hostess chips. I have good memories of those. They stopped making them in Canada back in the 90s when Lays got tired of managing too many brand names and they folded it. They recently brought back the old Canadian Hostess chip mascots, the Munchies, and put them on their own brand of Munchies chips. Which is cool. But they did NOT bring back my favorite flavor (another Canadian classic) dill pickle.
For those who are wondering how many definitive Canadian flavors of chip there are, there are three: ketchup, dill pickle and all-dressed. Dill pickle started to spread down into the U.S. well over a decade ago and found great success. Ketchup is still trying to spread south and failing. We’ll see how all-dressed does.
We may have a future exchange possibility; I have access to dill pickle chips from several vendors, and am craving All-dressed… perhaps a trade deal is in order?
Regardless, have a Merry Christmas and an excellent New Year!
A trade! A trade that would cost a small fortune in mailing expenses to ship incredibly light yet bulky potato chips! Tempting.
Target came through and delivered four packages last night, so the trade deals are off, attractive as you made it sound. Have a Merry Christmas!
I couldn’t find all-dressed flavor potato chips at Trader Joe’s today. However, I did manage to get a bag of ketchup flavor. I guess TJ’s a little behind the curve. 😉
Ketchup is another great Canadian flavor, so there you go!
I hope everyone had a great holiday or just a really good day. Lots of fun and spending time with people you love and/or tolorate. May the rest of the time to Hangover Day be good as well!
We shall all sit back, relax and drink.
With loud noises at a tolerable level.
No clue about All Dressed, they haven’t come here to NZ. I am, however, still reeling from the Lamb & Mint Sauce flavoured ones, and the
Chicken & Cranberry & Brie Pizza flavoured kettle chips. (Both were pretty meh imo)
Aw, my hopes were high for the lamb and mint sauce one. I love lamb. And mint sauce.
Hmmm, I’ve seen some all dressed varieties with maple syrup.
