**Mike-sell’s** potato chips (SW Ohio) used to be made with 100% peanut oil. They were the _best_. ---

> [@pulykamell](#): > > They got 'em here in Chicago. But I live in a majority Mexican neighborhood, so that would be why. I’ve had them, and they’re okay, but that dry lime flavor just reminds me of Froot Loops so much. Pretty much all the chile & limon snacks I see around here have that flavor, and it’s hard for me to recontextualize that particular lime flavor from a children’s cereal to savory snack. I’m working on it, though. My son brought home Lime/Lemon plantain chips that tasted EXACTLY like Froot Loops. They didn’t taste _bad_ so much as strange. ---

Yeah the Utz Red Hot are good, there’s a little smokiness in there too. I’ll just have a bowl of those and a Coke for lunch sometimes. The Lay’s Reubens were good too - the flavor actually seemed to shift through the different parts of a reuben as you ate one, I was wowed. But eventually the vinegar flavor was a little too strong in those, so it was hard to really binge on them. ---

I know Pringles aren’t real chips, but I like the buffalo ranch flavor. Stax from Frito-Lay are a similar chip-like product and come in All-American cheeseburger flavor. You can tell I’m not a purist. I find the mass-produced mashed and dried potato product to be perfectly acceptable. ---

> [@jsgoddess](#): > > Herr’s Cheddar and Horseradish. They used to do it in a regular chip. Now it’s just in kettle. Not as good, but still amazing. I came in to say something similar. I don’t get to Trader Joe’s much any more due to distance (and cost), but they used to have the best horseradish chips in the world. Talk about not just being able to eat one. ---

Ruffles sour cream and cheddar are the best flavored chip ever marketed. I rarely buy a bag because I’ll eat too darn many. ---

New favorites: John & John crisps from World Market. The Sweet Chili & Red Pepper crisps (#2) are addictive. They also have Cyder Vinegar, Sea Salt & Pepper, Suffolk Cheddar 7 Chives, and a few others. Washed down with a Crabbie’s Cloudy Alcoholic Lemonade they make for a perfect Sunday afternoon snack. ---

Ruffles used to have a honey mustard flavor that was absolutely divine. Sadly, it was discontinued. ☹ ---

I still miss (I’m surprised just how much) the Doritos Cheeseburgers At Midnight chips, in the black bag. they actually had some cheeseburger tastes, dill pickle, cheese, and a real ‘burger’ note. Just as well as I couldn’t stop eating them. ---

Seldom do I buy chips for myself but I’ll eat a few in a social setting…you know, to be polite. I do enjoy the Krunchers jalapeno and most any salt & vinegar style. I had some buffalo wing-type last weekend at a cookout which were quite tasty. I don’t love cheddar or sour cream chips. A fellow chilehead friend of mine sometimes contacts me to see if I want to go in on a shipment of Blair’s Death Rain chips. We get the habanero type which _really_ brings the heat but, looking at the website, I see they now have jolokia which has my mouth watering.

I still miss [O’Grady’s au gratin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clSC3NiPwxA) chips. Ruffles cheddar and sour cream are the closest I’ve found now.
