I like Ruffles’ sour cream and onion. Or any variety of ridged sour cream and onion. Utz is also acceptable. ---

Fried-egg flavored chips go great with pickled mussels and cold beer. ---

Utz unsalted. They are suprisingly good, especially with onion dip. Only drawback is that they break too easily when dipping them. Other than that, Cape Cod Reduced Fat. ---

> [@Gatopescado](#): > > Tim’s Jalapenos. Good Stuff, Maynard! I don’t think I have another account, but I could have written this. As they aren’t available here, Tyrell’s Mature Cheddar & Chive is my favorite. Their Salt & Vinegar is also quite tasty. ---

Utz Red Hot. Not really very “hot” to me, but the flavor is excellent. It’s like a much spicier, much less sweet barbecue flavor. ---

Leaning Cask Brewery (a place I liked to visit in before times) has a brand of potato chips that just does odd flavors. I’ve tried Wasabi and Worcestershire sauce, both excellent. I will try the rest if/when. ---

I like kettle-style. Let the roof of my mouth be torn to shreds and the salt cause terrible pain, it’s worth it. As for flavoring, I don’t have a problem with chip flavors in theory, but for my chips I usually like simple potato flavor. Maybe black pepper once in awhile. Here in Michigan we like our Better Made chips. I personally don’t find them to be anything too special but they have a lot of fans: > **[Better Made](https://bettermade.com/)** > > Michigan's favorite snack brand for over 90 years! We started with the mission to make a better potato chip and have grown to be the snack food company that Michiganders reach for to satisfy their snacking needs. Become part of the Better Made... ---

I’m happy to see there are lots of salt and vinegar fans. Happy because that leaves more jalapeno chips for me! Krunchers does those the best and I think Cape Cod has some yummy one’s too when you’re in the mood for a kettle style chip. Occasionally I’ll get an overwhelming urge for some (and by some I mean an entire bag)of Munchos and when that happens, \*only \*Munchos will do. ---

Wavy Lays is what I regularly eat. I don’t claim they’re the “best”, but they’re nice, readily available and on sale often enough. I much prefer wide-waves to the teeny gum scraping style like Ruffles. I have thought about trying something else, just to see. So this thread is [relevant](https://wompampsupport.azureedge.net/fetchimage?siteId=7575&v=2&jpgQuality=100&width=700&url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.kym-cdn.com%2Fentries%2Ficons%2Ffacebook%2F000%2F000%2F021%2Frelevant-to-my-interests.jpg) to my interests. OTOH, vinegar? No thank you. ---

I’ve tried Wasabi and Worcestershire sauce, both excellent. I will try the rest if/when. I just messaged the brew-master to enquirer about getting some growlers filled. I asked about the chips, and he told me they are crisps from the UK made by Walkers. (The brewery is English themed, so it makes sense) ---

I’m also a salt and vinegar or dill & vinegar guy or [hot salt and vinegar](https://www.amazon.com/Vitners-Sizzlin-Potato-Chicago-Original/dp/B07BBK7K2W) guy. Brands? Utz, Vitner’s, but I don’t really care all that much. I also quite enjoy the Utz Crab Chips (Old Bay seasoning flavored.) ETA: OK, to follow the OP to the letter, my vote is Vitner’s hot salt and sour. ---

Kettle brand sea salt chips. Yeah, boring, but I’m a purist. And they’re made in Oregon, so they’re fresh. On the corn side, it’s Josephina’s. They don’t get much shelf space, because the local Juanita’s get all the attention, but they’re a much better chip, IMO. ---

I LOVE potato chips! Plain potato chips are my go-to. I do like a flavored chip once in a while. In order: Simply Lays Thick Cut Sea Salt - The perfect chip. Don’t let the “thick cut” throw you. They’re just a teeny bit thicker than regular Lays. The issue is, they’re hard to find. The stores around me carry them for a while and then they disappear. Right now I can’t find them anywhere :(. Kwik Trip Classic - When I couldn’t find SLTCSS I tried these out. They’re very good! Ruffles (plain) Wavy Lays (plain) Lays - Regular Lays chips taste good, BUT I hate that the chips always seem to be really small. I like a big chip - the size of a sliced potato. So it’s ALMOST impossible to fit the whole chip in your mouth at once. Old Dutch - regional brand The only flavored potato chips I like are Ruffles or Wavy Lays sour cream cheddar. Corn chips: On the Border plain tortilla chips Kwik Trip taco flavored - I used to love Doritos, both nacho and taco, but they’ve changed over the years. I’ll eat them, but not like I used to. Fritos (regular) ---

For corn: Tostitos Simply Organic. They’re purple and I don’t truck in organic nonsense, but man are they tasty.
