I love folded over potato chips. I wish they made full bags of them. I’m not sure what it is … I think they have more “body” … but when I get one, I savor it. I’m not the only one who enjoys them: [https://www.google.com/search?q=folded+over+potato+chips&rlz=1C1AVNA\_enUS581US581&oq=fodled+over+chip&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l2.5796j0j4&sourceid=chrome&es\_sm=122&ie=UTF-8](https://www.google.com/search?q=folded+over+potato+chips&rlz=1C1AVNA_enUS581US581&oq=fodled+over+chip&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l2.5796j0j4&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8) ---

Much prefer them over the unfolded ones too large to place unbroken into your mouth. A half a potato chip is a feeble compromise up with which I will not put. ---

I love them, as well as the chips with a bubble, which you really don’t see much anymore. ---

Completely in-agreement. I opened an old (snack-size) bag of regular Lay’s the other day. Unfortunately, but not unsurprisingly, they were on the edge of stale. I dug out the folded ones and threw the rest away. ---

I also prefer the folded chips, it seems the thicker cut “kettle” style tend to have a higher percentage of folded chips Both Cape Cod and Maine Coast chips typically have the folds outnumber the flats ---

Kettle chips are an Abomination Unto Nuggan. If I want lacerated gums I’ll chew on a safety pin. The wife loves folded over tortilla chips because they are great for scooping just the right amount of salsa. ---

Echoing the others in that my husband adored these. I’d go digging through our chip bowl when we’d eat Mexican just to weed them out for him. God, I miss that. ---

Folded double chips,with one nested in the other, are the holy grail of crunchy. ---

Kettle chips have a lot of these (according to Wikipedia, Australian kettle chips are unaffiliated with the international brand). Regular, unfolded chips are for suckers. ---

The folded ones are okay. I had a friend who liked them and said the reason was, when you’re using dip, it’s perfect for them because they act like a scoop and you can get more on one and much easier. Me, I’m a fan of the green chips. Those one or two green ones in the bag. Yes, I know these are poisonous and that eating enough of them would kill me. Believe me, I already know, because I hear someone tell me about it all the time when I mention how I love them. Doesn’t matter, I still love them. ---
