Morton's Potato Chips

A bag of Morton's Potato Chips, from a 1971 commercial.

Morton's Potato Chips was a potato chip company popular in Texas, United States. This company was popular for their corn chips called Chip-Os, and for the fact that The Carpenters – a vocal and instrumental American duo, consisting of siblings Karen and Richard Carpenter – did a commercial for them in the 1970s. Morton's was a notable potato chip company in Dallas in the 1960s and 1970s.[1] The Carpenters sponsored Morton's in 1971.[2] In addition to having bags of potato chips, Morton's also distributed tin cans of potato chips, which are available on eBay.

Morton Foods merged with General Mills in 1964.[3]
