Granny Goose is the name of a brand of potato chips and other snack foods.

Its logo and mascot, also named Granny Goose, is an anthropomorphic cartoon goose. In a series of television commercials, the company's spokesperson, who self-identified as "Granny Goose", was portrayed by actor Philip Carey as a tough cowboy. [1]

Granny Goose Foods, Inc., was originally founded in Oakland, California, by Matthew Barr in 1946. In 1993, the company acquired the Laura Scudder brand from Borden Inc., but still could not make a profit due to intense competition from PepsiCo's Frito Lay and Anhouser-Bush's Eagle Snacks, so the entire company was put up for sale in 1995.[2] While it has largely disappeard from supermarket shelves, the brand is still claimed by Snack Alliance, Inc.[3]
