Absolutely not posting a poll because I’m looking for new ideas. I’ve been eating Munchos and Kettle chips (various flavors) for a year now. I really should have brought back a ton of Walkers crisps from the U.K. as they have the most interesting flavours. Anyway, go ahead and post what you like. I don’t care if it’s regional, I plan to travel like mad once I can again. ---

Salt and Vinegar for flavor. I don’t care(or notice) about the brand - the store brand/noname chips are almost always just as good as Lays or whatever. ---

> [@Bayaker](#): > > Salt and Vinegar for flavor. I don’t care(or notice) about the brand - the store brand/noname chips are almost always just as good as Lays or whatever. Same thing I came to say. Salt and vinegar. I don’t really know the brands apart either, but I like the ones so strong that inhaling from the bag clears your sinuses and the chips burn your tounge. ---

Kettle brand from Costco. The big bag of 'em, wavy with Himalayan sea salt. ---

Also, Pringles Cheddar Cheese (and there are some other nice ones on [the list](https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/we-ate-and-ranked-all-29-pringles-flavors-116389741046.html).) (But the Pringles salt and vinegar are much weaker than the best.) ---

In general I like salt and vinegar or sour cream and onion chips. However, if I had only one choice for a chip it would be Miss Vickie’s Harvest Cheddar & Herbs. ---

It’s a tossup for me, between salt and vinegar, and barbecue. I’m not picky as to brand, though; I’ll generally get whatever is on sale at the supermarket. ---

If your travels include a stop in New Zealand, I’ll recommend Eta Roast Lamb and Mint flavored chips. In the US, my go-to is Ruffles Queso flavor. ---

Plain Lays. Followed by plain any other brand. Followed by plain kettle chips (all of these are regular salted plain). After these there are some flavored chips I like. Vidalia onion, sea salt and pepper, salt and vinegar-- especially kettle. Some of those Lays freaky flavors have tickled my fancy but I can’t remember any of the specific ones I liked. ---

The original [Utz](https://www.utzsnacks.com/pages/utz) are great. Just the right amount of crisp without being too oily. I’ve yet to find a kettle chip I like, they’re always way too hard and crunchy. ---

I really like Old Dutch smoky bacon. Similar flavour, but different delivery method, Hickory Sticks are great, too. > [@Bayaker](#): > > Salt and Vinegar for flavor. I don’t care(or notice) about the brand - the store brand/noname chips are almost always just as good as Lays or whatever. Used to be the case, but, while I still find Snax To Go pretty good, most of the off-brand chips I find, lately, are basically flavourless. Lays, Old Dutch, Snax to Go, and related brands of other sorts of snacks like corn chips, are basically the only ones worth buying any more. ---

Kettle Chips, Sea salt & Vinegar. ETS: I’ve been into Letterkenny for awhile and I want to try ‘all dressed’. Ordered some, so we’ll see how that goes. ---

If you make it to central Ohio, try Mike Sells potato chips. I live in the Seattle area now and miss those. I remember and liked the plain, Honey BBQ, Good and Hot, and Green Onion. I just looked on Amazon and see that they also have Spicy Dill Pickle, Cheddar, and Smoked Bacon. Working now on resisting the temptation to order them all. 🙂 ---
