I’d thought Krunchers kettle chips used peanut oil but it looks like they switched to corn. Either way, no canola and they’re available unflavored. An onion allergy sounds dreadful.
Lays BBQ or Sour Cream and Cheddar. Mmmmm.
I’ve lived in the greater Dayton area my whole life, so am very familiar with Mikesell’s. 
For decades the chips were made using peanut oil, and those were awesome. But due to its cost and the potential for causing allergic reactions, they replaced it with other oils around 20 years ago. But they recently came out with a groovy chip that is made with 100% peanut oil. I haven’t yet tried them, but will do so soon.
Blair’s Death Rain Jolokia Pepper potato chips.
When I worked in the middle of nowhere in East Africa, one of my major cravings was Walker’s Smoky Bacon crisps. In fact, a Walker’s Smoky Bacon crisp and Marmite sandwich, dunked in a Bachelor’s Cream of Mushroom Cup-A-Soup was the craving, but laying my hands on the crisps was like finding an ark stuffed with grails.
That said though, nowadays I’m probably slightly more about Salt & Black Pepper Kettlechips…though it varies with mood.
T-Bone Steak flavour Roysters and a pint of milk is one of my classic hangover cures due to their capacity for forcibly reintroducing electrolytes into the body (seriously, if you don’t know them be warned, you’d be hard pressed to tell them apart from a salt lick).
Have you seen these recently? I mentioned them upthread and would love to return the favor to a friend that helped hook me up with the habanero ones a couple years ago.
Hmm, everyone has them marked as “out of stock”, I see what you mean.
I do see this link for the habanero type. Haven’t clicked through to see if I could actually order them. But no jolokia chips 
Maybe “made in small batches” makes a difference - Clancy Kettle are the best. Other chips with powder (a flavor) on them, I’m too narrow-minded to try.
Here in Minnesota, you can get small snack bags and the bags that are a little larger than the snack bags. Otherwise, they come in a box with 2 silver bags. At Sam’s Club, the boxes contain 3 silver bags. The silver bags aren’t foil but some other plasticy material.
The plain/regular homemade chips at my local brewpub. Fortunately they are still open for takeout food during the lockdown.
Lay’s lightly salted chip, the one in the light blue bag. Thin as a promise, a lot of fold-overs, delicate and not all that salty and …nom nom nom…not much junk food for me now, but I can’t resist these heavenly crunchies…

Kettle chips. I avoid Frito-Lay these days, so usually the store brand. Plain (salted) and BBQ when we indulge in chips (very rarely now).
Utz Crab Chips can be found here, but again, chips are very rare in this household.
Once upon a time, we lived in a test market, and someone, probably Frito-Lay, had a smoky cheddar flavor. Awesome, but whenever you find something you like in a test market, it will never catch on and you are left with memories.
Although… I was walking through Munich in 1997, got stopped by a market researcher who shepherded me up a flight of stairs to a tasting room where I was fed various chips (fries, but I’m English, so chips…or pommes, as it was Munich). I was quizzed about the quality of the different varieties, and my opinion of the prospective names. My favourite, in both name and flavour, were what became King Fries.
The best chips I’ve ever had were Jay’s Potato Chips, available in the Chicagoland area including South Bend IN. Second best are Lay’s Wavy .
A tie between Mrs. Fishers dark chips, which are local to the Rockford,IL area, and Zapp’s Voodoo. Depends on my mood and if I’m somewhere where I can get the former.
This exactly.
