Template:OTab Template:Object Barnacle Chips are a popular brand of potato chips in Bikini Bottom. They are known for selling millions of bags a day. Although they have not been physically seen in the series, a billboard for the chips appears in the episodes "Chocolate with Nuts," "Burst Your Bubble," and "Teacher's Pests," as well as the video game Creature from the Krusty Krab.
Description
The bag is orange-red with white edges with capitalized light green letters that say "Barnacle Chips." The billboard has pink and light purple bursts. Both bursts have blue capitalized letters. The pink one says "Eat" while the purple one says "They're Delicious." Their logo is a portrait of Barnacle Products Incorporated's mascot, Mr. Barnacle. In the logo, Mr. Barnacle is wearing a black cape and a black top hat with a red band.
Advertising and marketing
They "stretch the truth" so people will buy their chips. This inspires Template:Data:Links and Template:Data:Links to use this strategy which actually becomes successful. They use billboards to advertise their product.
