For the past 30 years, Zapp's^® has created an exclusive, limited time only, Mardi Gras themed bag for the Spicy Cajun Crawtators™ New Orleans Kettle Style Potato Chips to celebrate the Mardi Gras season. This year, the bag features a Mardi Gras mask and the famous beads that are synonymous with the Mardi Gras celebration.

With a hearty crunch and unique Cajun-style flavors like Voodoo™, Hotter'n Hot Jalapeño and Spicy Cajun Crawtators™, Zapp's^® was founded in 1985 by Ron Zappe. Thick, zesty, and full of flavor, Zapp's^® outrageously tasty chips are practically guaranteed to put you in the Mardi Gras spirit.

"Each year, Zapp's^® celebrates alongside the festive street parades and hundreds of private balls with family and friends around the Mardi Gras celebration," said Zapp's^® Vice President of Marketing Jim Ehlen. "We take great pride in shipping our special-release Mardi Gras Spicy Cajun Crawtators™, bag far and wide."

Originally sold only within a 300-mile radius of New Orleans, today Zapp's^® New Orleans Kettle Style Potato Chips ship to 48 states plus Hawaii, following the ever-growing attraction to the flavors of New Orleans.

In addition to the new bag design, Zapp's^® is currently running an "Enter-to-Win" sweepstakes promotion, which will fly two lucky Zapp's^® fans to New Orleans for a weekend to celebrate the city in true Mardi Gras fashion.

The Zapp's^® Mardi Gras 2017 Trip for Two to New Orleans Promotion includes round trip airfare for two, two nights in a French Quarter hotel, and $500 for food and fun. Visit http://www.zapps.com/mardigras2017/ running through 2/28/2017 for complete details and a chance to win.
