I like the ones I find at Shopper's Drug Mart, they're called Bakin-ettes. The other brand I've seen around here is Porky's I find them bland and gross. But that's just me.

I've never seen them at WalMart. I have seen them at some of the larger Loblaws, a brand called Granddad's or something like that. They're pretty good, but hard to find. I haven't seen them at other grocery stores at all around here.


Oh! I've seen them at Bulk Barn.
I don't know if they still carry them, though.

Usually in the chip aisle, and often right by the checkouts....

Old Dutch makes 'em (and has for years), so the Old Dutch rep would naturally put them by the Old Dutch chips. There's Bakenets, Porky's and Trophy brands as well.

I LOVE the Porky's brand! But I've only seen them at 2 No Frills grocery stores, and they always run out and aren't quick to re-stock. Bakennettes seem to have the market cornered in Toronto where I am. I don't like them, TOO salty!

you can get them by Old Dutch they make plain and bbq
http://olddutchfoods.ca/products/ca...ts.cfm?typeid=9
or
Hostess/FritoLay, I have only seen them plain but the company makes lots of flavors
look like this
http://www.fritolay.com/fl/flstore/...ts_bakenets.htm

if you can't find them at walmart you may want to check the local gas station or Macs, or some other convenience store

good luck

The only place I've been able to find them is the Bulk Barn. If you have one of those, you might be in luck. and they come in flavors now, smokey bbq, plain, ketchup. they are so nice.
