Right now I’m really enjoying Trader Ming’s Chinese Mustard Won Ton Chips. Yum. What are you favorites? ---

When I was in Australia, I got hooked on Lime & Cracked Pepper chips, Smith’s brand I believe. Can’t find them here, so KettleChips seas salt and vinegar are my accessible favorite. ---

Anything salt and vinegar. The Kettle Chips ones are especially yummy. ---

Archer Farms makes great kettle chips in a variety of flavors. My favorites are the Sea Salt and Black Pepper variety (especially warmed, with some melted bleu cheese and balsamic reduction) and the Maple Barbecue flavor. I also love Zapp’s chips from Louisiana. Pretty much any kettle chips are great, especially barbecue, jalapeno, or spicy/sweet/cool varieties. ---

I like Wise Ridgies, Sour Cream & Cheddar flavor. They ought to just sell jars of the powdered flavor and do away with the potatoes! I’d buy that! ---

I went crazy last year for [Sweet Maui Onion potato chips](http://www.timschips.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=T&Product_Code=HASMO_PC&Category_Code=HAWPC) that I found in Albertson’s when I was vacationing in Southern California. I have yet to find them in a store here in NYC. ---

Salt and Vinegar Ruffles. I don’t see them very often, it’s probably a good thing. ---

[Cape Cod](http://www.capecodchips.com/) kettle chips. Yum. Maybe I’ll grab a bag after work and glurge. ---

Chips are what we call crisps, right? I go for Pringles Barbeque flavour. ---

[Hula Hoops](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hula_Hoops)! And [Quavers](http://walkers.corpex.com/cr15p5/products.asp?snacktypeid=31)! My brother reckons that if it weren’t for the fact that they have a silly name and are cheaply available everywhere in gaudy packaging, [Wotsits](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wotsits) would be regarded as a great delicacy to be served alongside caviar. I wouldn’t go that far, but they do have a melt-in-the-mouth texture beyond that provided by your average cheesy puff. ---

My favorite chips, which I stock up on whenever I visit my family in Maryland, are regular [Utz](http://www.utzsnacks.com/products/regchips.html) chips. I wish they were available in Ohio. ---

Herr’s Chips. The wife is partial to the Ragin’ Ranch flavor, while I prefer the Steak & Worchestershire or the Jalapeno. The only other chip that comes close is Tim’s Cascade-Style Dill Pickle flavor. ---

Pringles, sour cream and chive. But if we’re talkin’ 'bout REAL chips then I’ll have some big fat chunky fuck off English ones avec a luvverly wedge of fried cod in crispy batter, not forgetting the mushy peas ---

For me, chips must have ripples. My favorite within that category is Ruffles Sour Cream and Cheddar. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/favorite-chips/424834.md?page=2)
