Utz is a potato chip company based in Pennsylvania which is very regional; in fact, their commercials within their zone of shipping are remarkably smug about the fact, consisting as they do of taking bags of their crisps to far places, feeding them to random passer-by, and explaining that because of their desire for standards of perfection in freshness, they can't get them where said passer-by is.
They are the Best Crisps Ever.
Where I grew up, in Maryland (state adjacent to Pennsylvania), Utz were available freely for the taking. (Well, for the purchasing.) Where I'm now living, in Massachusetts (something like three or four states away from Pennsylvania), they are not seen.
My mother-in-law always has two bags of Sour Cream and Onion Utz Ripple Chips set aside for me when teinedreugan and I come visit. And for special occasions she ships them up to us. (This was for Valentines' Day. She also sends us parcels for birthdays and Hallowe'en.)
