Mikey: TELL OUR VIEWERS
ABOUT THE HISTORY OF YOUR
COMPANY.
WHERE DID IT ALL START?
IT STARTED FROMUMBLE
BEGINNINGS, RIGHT?
YEAH.
COMING OUT OF COLLEGE LIVING IN
I SAW EMERIL LAGASSE.
IT WAS A FUN SHOW.
HE MADE SWEET POTATO CHIPS ON
HIS SHOW.
AND I SAW THE OKINAWAN POTATO.
AND I THOUGHT WE NEED TO MAKE
CHIPS ON THIS.
WE'LL ADD SEASONINGS AND IT WILL
BE FUN.
ZIP LOCK BAGS.
WE GREW FROM THERE.
AND ENDED UP WHERE WE ARE.
Mikey: YOU WON BEST OF
HONOLULU'S BESEST OF MADE TO ORDER
CHIPS.
YOUR CHIPS MADE TO ORDER.
A SPECIAL REASON.
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I WOULD
SEASONING LIKE GARLIC, BARBECUE.
THEY WOULD ASK ME WHAT'S YOUR
FAVORITE FLAVOR?
ONLY RESPONSE I COULD GIVE WAS
JUST RIGHT OFF FRYER.
I THOUGHT IF WE GIVE IT TO THEM
THAT WAY AND PUT THEM INTO THESE
AND FRESH, AND WE GIVE THE
CUSTOMERS THE EXPERIENCE THAT
WOULD BE MEMORABLE AND ALLOW
THEM TO WANT TO BUY OUR PACKAGE
THAT BAG WASN'T ENOUGH.
SO WE HAD TO DEVELOPMENT A BOX.
THEIR OWN COMBININGS.
I WISH I COULD OFFER YOU ONE
NOW.
Mikey: I WAS GOING TO SAY I
NEEDS THAT BOX.
PUT THE PAPER BAG INSIDE.
I WANT THAT BOX.
THAT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT
BIRTHDAY PRESENT OR CHRISTMAS
PRESENTED.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF FLAVORS AS
WHAT FLAVORS DO YOU OFFER?
I KNOW YOU SAID GARLIC.
WE HAVE A SEASONAL SUGAR
COATED.
A BARBECUE FLAVOR.
WE ALSO HAVE NORIS THAT
SEASONAL.
A BRAND NEW POTATO LINE COMING
FLAVOR.
AND ALL ARE AVAILABLE AT THE
STORE.
Mikey: I LOVE THAT.
GARLIC AND MAUI ONION.
NOBODY'S GOING TO WANT TO BE
NEXT TO ME BUT THAT'S FINE.
THAT MEANS MORE CHIPS FOR
MYSELF.
[LAUGHTER]
AND SOCIAL DISTANCE.
