My name isn't important, but the story I have to tell certainly is. As a grocery store worker throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, I sought solace and strength in something small - a treat. This simple but monumental thing for me was Korean BBQ flavored Kettle Chips. These chips held a myriad of flavors - being sweet, spicy, salty, smoky, a little tangy, and above all, addictive. Their tantalizing taste was my comfort amidst the long, difficult hours of helping my community stay supplied.

Then, without warning, the unthinkable happened. My cherished snack was pulled from the shelves. Kettle Brand decided to discontinue their Korean BBQ flavor. These chips weren't just flavorsome nibbles for me, but an essential part of my pandemic survival kit.

Now, it stands to reason why we would want these chips back on the shelf. It's not just about one person's comfort snack, it's about the hundreds, maybe thousands, of others who savored these bite-sized treats. While the magnitude of demand is hard to quantify, sales data could provide an estimate (assuming around 10 bags per store per week and around 40,000 grocery stores in the country, we're already looking at 20.8 million bags sold yearly).

While these are just rough calculations, they're enough to show that these chips weren't just a random flavor, but a popular choice for many. We kindly request Kettle Brand to reconsider their decision and bring back the Korean BBQ flavored chips that brought joy and comfort to their loyal customers. Let's bring back the happiness and comfort they brought amidst the long, busy days. Sign this petition, a plea to return a beloved flavor to our midst.
