Andy Capp's is a brand of flavored corn and potato snack made to look like French fries (US)/Crisps (UK). The product was created in 1971 by Goodmark Foods, Inc., which licensed the name and likeness of the comic strip character Andy Capp from Creators Syndicate. Until recent years[when?] the strip was featured on the back of packages. In 1998 Goodmark Foods was acquired by ConAgra Foods, Inc., which manufactures and distributes the product to this day.[1][2]
Andy Capp's fries come in .85 ounce (24 grams) 1 ounce (28 grams), 1.75 ounce (50 grams), 3.0 ounce (85 grams), 3.5 ounce (100 grams), 6 ounce (170 grams), and more recently, 8 ounce (227 grams) packages in four flavors: Hot Fries, Cheddar Fries, Hot Chili Cheese Steak Fries, and White Cheddar Steak Fries. Hot Fries were the first popular flavor in this line of snack foods.[2] On the back of some packages, Zesty Ranch was listed as one of the flavors, but it has been discontinued for quite some time[when?], as have the Pub Fries and Salsa flavors.[citation needed]
The BBQ Fries, however, have resurfaced in 2011 in a new bag design made to match with the current Hot Fries flavors.[citation needed]
