Barnacle Chips are a popular brand of potato chips that are known for selling a million bags a day. A billboard for the chips first appears in the episode "Chocolate with Nuts."

The bag is orange-red with white edges and capitalized light green letters that read the product name. The billboard has pink and light purple bursts. Both bursts have blue capitalized letters. The pink one reads "Eat" while the purple one reads "They're Delicious."
