Lay’s salt and vinegars.

And if one can add taco chips, Doritos Smokey Red BBQ.

Pringles, any flavor but I actually like the plain ones the best.

Ruffles Mesquite BBQ. I probably like all Mesquite BBQ flavored potato chips, being something of a salt fiend, but I like Ruffles’ BBQ the best.

There are very few I don’t like–I used to dislike the Hawaiian Style Potato Chips but they grew on me.

I like Lay’s sour cream and onion, cool ranch Doritos, almost any sour cream and cheddar, kethcup and all dressed.

Yum.

Lay’s – with no extra flavoring. After all, it’s the original, or darn close to it.

I **remember** my first potato chip. Probably around 1952, and I was visiting my grandma. We walked to the grocery store and I was begging for a snack. She bought my first bag of chips. Grandma got me hooked.

Never had a better chip than Lay’s.

Plain old Granny Goose Potato Chips. I am either a purist or very, very dull.

I also prefer vanilla ice cream…

Aw, hell, I forget the brand. I think it’s Kettle Chips. Anyway, they have Salt-and-pepper chips which are _amazing_.

I’ll have to go with **DRY** and say Ruffles Mesquite BBQ. Love those BBQ chips!

A local favorite in SE Iowa is Sterzings.

I liked them better before they took the salt out.
