**Andy Capp's** is an American [brand](/source/Brand_name) of flavored [corn](/source/Maize) and [potato](/source/Potato) snack made to look like [French fries](/source/French_fries). The product was created in 1971 by [GoodMark Foods](/source/GoodMark_Foods), which licensed the name and likeness of the [comic strip](/source/Comic_strip) character [Andy Capp](/source/Andy_Capp) from [Publishers-Hall Syndicate](/source/Publishers-Hall_Syndicate).[1] In 1998 GoodMark Foods was acquired by [ConAgra Foods](/source/ConAgra_Foods), which manufactures and distributes the product to this day.[2][3]

Andy Capp's fries come in 0.85 ounces (24 grams), 1 ounce (28 grams), 1.5 ounces (43 grams), 1.75 ounces (50 grams), 2.0 ounces (57 grams), 3.0 ounces (85 grams), 3.5 ounces (99 grams), 6 ounces (170 grams), and more recently, 8 ounces (230 grams) packages. Packages come in seven flavors: *Hot Fries*, *Ranch Fries*, *Cheddar Fries*, *BBQ Fries*, *Fire Fries*, *Beer Battered Onion Rings* and *Beer Battered Onion Rings: Hot*, the last of which are shaped like onion rings as opposed to fries, and are now hot. *Hot Fries* were the first popular flavor in this line of snack foods.[3] On the back of some packages, *Zesty Ranch* was listed as one of the flavors, and was distributed to schools for snack purchases.[4] The *Pub Fries*, *Salsa*, *Hot Chili Cheese Steak*, and *White Cheddar Steak Fries* flavors have all been discontinued.[5][6]

The BBQ Fries, after being discontinued,[5] resurfaced in 2011 in a new bag design made to match the current Hot Fries flavors.[7]
