One of its most famous owners was Paul "Bear" Bryant, the legendary head football coach for the Alabama Crimson Tide. For Years the potato chips, along with Coca-Cola, were marketed with the slogan, "'Great Pair' says 'the Bear'".In 1968, the company went public, changing its name again to Golden Enterprises, Inc.
