A father-son duo from Virginia took a lengthy road trip to Niagara Falls to buy ketchup chips.
Rich Lieberman and his15-year-old son Jacob took off in an old army Jeep that could not go past 70 kilometres per hour.
"We only crossed the border to buy the chips," Rich Lieberman said to CTV News over the weekend. "We joked it was a grocery run. We had some time to kill before school starts."
The two wound up purchasing 40 bags of ketchup chips when they arrived at Jim's No Frills in Niagara Falls.
Impressed with their journey, the owner posted a picture of them on Facebook.
Jacob Lieberman first tried ketchup chips when he and his father took a road trip in 2022 that spanned the entire United States and half of Canada.
"We saw the ketchup chips and thought it was kind of weird, honestly. I'd never heard of such a thing," Rich Lieberman told CBC News. "But I knew he liked ketchup so we bought him a bag."
Jacob became an instant fan, while Rich was far less interested.
Rich is aware he could order the chips online, but took the trip with his son just for the journey.
The father-son duo expects to return to Canada again within the next few years in order to continue their exploration of the country.
Now that they've satiated their curiosity for ketchup chips, the two intend to try all-dressed chips, a flavour that has long been limited to Canada.
