That Rare Moment You've Had With Whales

You know that moment, when you get to the beach and sit down with a bag of Whale Tails Chips. Then you look far into the ocean, and it happens: You see a whale burst out of the water, and it floats mid-air for a second. It hits the water and the last thing you see is that tail. But right before that tail disappears you hold up a Whale Tails Chip in front of your one open eye, and it matches up perfectly with the monstrous tail in the distance. The chip resonates with a silver lining. Right when the tail disappears with a splash you crunch into that delicious organic sliver of natural ingestible love, and Dick Dale's "Misirlou" explodes through your earbuds from your mp3 player.......you know that moment? Yeah we don't either, but it sounds great doesn't it? We imagine right then as the song plays a cavalcade of your half-naked friends would come running/tumbling over the hill through t he hot sand heading straight for the water, until they spot you holding a bag of natural, kosher, organic, gluten free Whale Tails Chips. That's when they take a sharp ninety degree left directly towards you, and you become the bottom of the NFL fumble pile, people peeling off your friends one by one to see who's got the bag. They are just that tasty.

Well, all your chips are gone but you still got that fine piece of Wyland art to pin to your Whale Tails Chips collage wall at home, right? Got a good story like this one? Tell us about it!

No Whales Were Harmed During the Making of This Chip!


These days you can never be too sure about what’s in the food you’re eating or where it came from.  Many companies go to great lengths to hide and disguise this information, because the facts are typically horrifying.

Think Sustainable And Start Your Own Organic Garden

Soon it will be time to think about warm days and working in the fertile soil.  Many of us are thinking about starting a "Victory Garden" of sorts right in our own backyards.  We have dreams of fresh fruits and vegetables that we brought to the family table ourselves.  Investing in a garden can certainly pay off in so many ways.
If you have been think about saving money and eating healthy the organic garden is a great place to begin.  Here are some tips so you can create a sustainable, abundant source of healthy food for you and your family.
  • Choose Your Crops Wisely
You might think that grabbing a fistful of seed packs and planting everything you can think of will bring you a chance at a bigger harvest but, the opposite may be true.  By choosing plants that will ripen at different times of the season you can avoid having to offer beans to all your neighbors.  By growing plants that will produce all season, like tomatoes for instance, you will be able to enjoy your fresh veggies every day.
  • Grow Primarily Green & Organic 
It is important to avoid chemicals and pesticides to ensure a healthier harvest.  Shop for "natural", "organic" or "green" products to keep pests away, even certain flowers, like marigolds or nasturtium, are known to natural repel certain insects that can be damaging to your plants.  Plant Yarrow to attract beneficial insects, such as ladybugs, that can rid your plants of certain insect infestations, naturally.  Also be sure that your seeds or seedlings are certified organic.
  • Plant Crops That Grow Well Together
There are certain crops that when grown in unison can actually benefit each other.  This method of gardening can produce better results and less depletion of vital minerals and nutrients from your soil.  Corn and potatoes grown well in rows next to each other and so do squash and beans.  Lettuce and carrots are also considered "companion" plants.
We are all striving to be responsible consumers and stewards to our sometimes fragile planet.  The home organic garden is an excellent way to achieve a lower carbon footprint while contributing to the health and well-being of your family.  Our organic snack products are also an excellent choice for healthy eating and with our many varieties and flavors you are sure to find a product that we hope will make you feel good about the natural food choices you are making for your family.  Contact us today to find a retailer near you!

Facts About Whales That Will Enable You To Impersonate A Marine Biologist As Long As You Refuse To Speak To Anyone Over 6

Eating Whale Tails does not make you a marine biologist. Memorize these facts about whales to satisfy your own curiosity and avoid any embarrassing social gaffes in case you get to talk with a real scientist.
  • Whales with no teeth are called baleen whales. Whales with teeth are called toothed whales. Not everything is complicated.
  • Blowholes are nostrils. They’re located on top of a whale’s head and provide air to the lungs. Some whales can stay deep under water for an hour or longer before they need to get more air.
  • A vapor spout over a whale means they’re breathing out. That fountain is a mix of gas and condensed water.
  • Blubber is a layer of fat under the skin of a whale. It provides energy and insulation. If your doctor has told you that you need to lose weight, these arguments will not be persuasive.
  • Dolphins and porpoises are whales too. Flipper from TV was a bottlenose dolphin.
  • Blue whales are the largest at 100 feet or more, which is about one-third of a football field. Porpoises are the smallest at only four feet.
  • Mother whales are called cows. Newborn whales are called calves. Gestation time varies by species. Sperm whale pregnancies can last for 19 months. The average is 9 to 15 months, and many whales nurse for more than one year.
  • Moby Dick was a sperm whale, the largest species of toothed whales. Their huge snouts contain close to a ton of oil.
  • Different species have very different life spans. Some scientists believe that bowhead whales can live for as long as 200 years. Most species average about 20 to 40 years.
This should be enough whale trivia to impress small children. If one of them catches you using the same fake Latin term to refer to both a dolphin and your carburetor, contact us for an extra bag of Whale Tails to bribe them into silence.
