Chip and Pepper Foster are identical twin businessmen from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.[1] They are co-owners of Chip & Pepper California and former hosts of their own NBC series, Chip and Pepper's Cartoon Madness.[2]
Chip and Pepper's Cartoon Madness[]
At a peak in their popularity, the Foster brothers appeared on a Canadian TV station singing "Chip and Pepper: get hip or get out!" The footage came into the hands of NBC's head of entertainment, Brandon Tartikoff, who decided to give them a Saturday morning cartoon show. In fall 1991, Chip and Pepper's Cartoon Madness debuted. A cornerstone to NBC's animated line-up, it included sketches and interviews, but old cartoons such as Casper and Captain Caveman took up most of the airtime. The show lasted one season before NBC dropped its animated block altogether in 1992.

Chip & Pepper California is a clothing company which specializes in denim and sportswear that was launched in 1987. In 2003, it entered the premium denim market. It is sold in over 42 countries.[3] The tie-dye fashions were popular in Canada in the late 1980s and early 1990s.[4]
Golf Punk and appearances on the Style Network/E![]
In 1994, the Fosters opened a store by the name of Golf Punk.
