As we get older, our childhood memories tend to fade. Recently I’ve been trying to remember details about a snack food from back in the day called Indian Corn Chips. Thanks to the internet we can locate details on nearly everything, except these Indian Corn Chips…

Your not nuts. I grew up in Illinois in the 60’s and can remember “Indian Corn Chips”. As I recall they came in a yellowish back and were shaped like an arrow head. They were thicker than the corn chips of today and about 2.5 inches long and an inch and a half wide.
Those are the ones Jerry! Thanks for making me feel a little less crazy. In what part of Illinois did you live?
We had them in southern Illinois. I loved the taste (they were so much better than Fritos!) and the transfer tattoos that came in the bag were really fun.
Where can u find the indian corn chip snacks? Would frito lay know? I live in Indianapolis, IN THanks
Sorry Amelia, but I haven’t seen Indian Corn Chips for many years. I wish they were still around.
Hey Kevin it’s been a while did you ever learn anymore about the Indian corn chips? I lived in Pekin, IL when I was growing up and my dad and I loved those chips. I can remember the flavor like it was yesterday I was eating them. We used to get them from a small store we also got pop cycles and frozen fruit in bulk there too. It was an odd store with great stuff. Anyway too bad they’re gone.
I remember having those in suburban Detroit in the late 1960s. Like someone else said, they were shaped like an arrow head and tasted better than Fritos. They always had a little pack of tattoo transfers that you could stick on your arm or hand by licking the spot, putting the tattoo onto the wet spot, holding it down for a moment, and peeling it back. I think you were supposed to use water, but we used the lick method.
I was just reminiscing about Indian Corn Chips and found your thread. I remember them in the 60’s and I grew up in Florissant MO.
I BEEN LOOKING FOR A PIC OF THEM SO I CAN SHOW YOUNGER PEOPLE. I CANT FIND ANYTHING ON THEM. I LOVED INDIAN CORN CHIPS!!. THERE HAS TO BE SOMEHOW TO FIND AN OLD PICTURE FOR PROOF WE ALL ARE NOT CRAZY. AND 2ND ITS THE SAME WITH CORNIES FROM SNACK TIME. CANT GIND ANYTHING.
I had them in Nebraska when I was a kid! They were awesome! Best corn chips ever!
I wish they were still around!
I remember the bag included a temporary tatoo….like a prize in a box of cereal
I remember them as a kid in the 1960’s in southern Illinois, southwest Indiana. I remember them coming with plastic toy sections of totem poles. You could collect the sections and put them together to build taller totem poles. As a kid at that time, that seemed like a lot fun.
I remember buying them in Centralia, Illinois in the early 1980’s
OMG…I knew I wasn’t crazy. We had a snack bar at my junior high in Highland Park, MI in the mid 80s that sold these. They came in BBQ and plain.
I too remember Indian Corn Chips while growing up in western Illinois in the 1970s & 1980s. They came in a yellow bag and were flat and rectangular in shape. Indian Corn Chips were delicious and they were way better than Fritos – as other people in this thread had mentioned. Indian Corn Chips were a great childhood memory! Why did this great product suddenly disappear?! I wish they would make a comeback. Another snack product I deeply miss: Anybody remember Chipos Flash Fried Potato Chips? They came in a box lined with a foil bag. The chips had criss-cross lines embedded into every chip, and Chipos were absolutely great – and were way better than Pringles! I don’t know why Chipos ceased to exist by the mid-1970s, but I do miss these chips, as they were delicious!!!
R.I.P., Indian Corn Chips. 😢

Grew up with them in Kansas in the 60’s/70 as well!
