Did you ever take a field trip to the Golden_Flake potato chip factory in Birmingham? What do you remember from it? Utz Brands announced this week it’s closing the company’s Golden Flake Birmingham manufacturing facility in July.
Sampling the warm potato chips fresh out of the fryer is an olfactory and taste sensation lost on the current and next generation of school children.
When the Birmingham factory closes, it will be the end of the golden era of Golden Flake, although Utz will still sell products under the Golden Flake brand. “It was wonderful,” she said. “I worked on the show eight years and then Coach Bryant passed away. He was the most charismatic man you ever met.”
“The reason it was so popular is because at that time you could only be on television one time a year,” McLaughlin said. “It’s the first you could see of the action.” In addition to flavored chips such as Sweet Heat, cheese puffs, cheese curls, tortilla chips and snack crackers were made at the historic Golden Flake factory in Birmingham and shipped throughout the Southeast.
