We didn’t have Cheetos as a brand at all until fairly recently. It just turned out an easier sell for the manufacturer to rebrand our Wotsits as Cheetos, I think.
If you are also referring to US chips, many bars make their own. Buffalo Wild Wings is nationwide and they have them. They tend to be thicker. Properly done they are pretty good, with just a bit of a chewy center, but more often then not they are over done. I have never had one as perfect as a bagged chip. Same for home made. I think temperature control to the degree is essential.
Any county/state fair or other venue with vendor trucks is a good bet.

Does anyone actually think they’re "healthier’? 
They just have a crisper/thicker texture. I freaking love Kettle Brand and Krunchers. The former, especially, just has such a great range of flavors. It’s pretty much the only chips I buy these days.
It might be useful to mention the incredible variety of crisps flavours in the UK. Many of the are only available (thankfully) for a short period of time, but the tend to stick in your mind:
Cajun Squirrel
Cheddar Cheese & Bacon
Flamegrilled Aberdeen Angus
Honey Roast Ham & Cranberry
Marmite
Oyster & Vinegar
Pickled Onion
and so forth…
I know you did not ask about them, but German crisps are the best. I have never ever found a decent brand of paprika or rosemary crisps outside of good ol’ Germany.
If you ever get the chance, try the Swiss Zweifel paprika crisps. Sublime.
Apparently the love for potato chips is universal. 
I’ve always been grateful that my mom refused to keep chips at the house. I did the same thing at my home. Chips are eaten at delis with sandwiches or the occasional backyard barbecue.
I like chips but it’s a lot of salt and fat.
There’s also the famous hedgehog crisps, if I’m remembering right.
Cajun Squirrel? :dubious:
But… Jalapeño-flavored kettle chips are the bomb, though.
I second this notion.
Cajun Squirrel?! Ewww…
Not kidding, I just ate me half a bag tonight.
Got to be a billion times better than Cajun Squirrel.
Kettle cooked is my favorite also. I like the Walmart “Great Value” brand the most. Their Salt and Vinegar chips are perfect, not too sour.

Here is a review of the Cajun Squirrel crisps: Walkers Cajun Squirrel Flavour Potato Crisps
Funnily enough, they were suitable for vegetarians, so no real squirrel bits were added.
Indeed. I think Krunchers was the first kettle brand I discovered, maybe 20 years ago? That sounds about right. Their jalapenño chip rocked my world and showed me how good a potato chip could be.
Thank you! 
Yeah, here’s what I was thinking of. I thought it was Walker’s but it was another brand.
Eh they are ok, the jalapeno possum is much better though
In my experience, the variety of flavors is the real defining factor of UK crisps. Otherwise, they’re normal potato chips, with the Walkers ones being pretty similar to Lay’s in the US, and some of the more boutique options being more akin to the various kettle varieties like “Kettle Chips” or Zapp’s.
I don’t even know how you’d go about doing that. I’ve never heard of anyone making them or selling them other than in packets.
Doritos and Pringles are known. Walkers are dominant. Maybe KP and Golden Wonder are still going. Various up-market, own-brand and kettle chip brands, too.
Ridges? Real McCoy crisps have ridges, as do Frisps, assuming they still make those.
Crisps give me a headache these days.
