What's your favorite brand of potato chips?

Naw, you can get Humpty Dumpty in the NE US (maybe just New England, but I have seen them.)

As far as big brands go, give my Lay’s salt and vinegar. For more local flavor, I love Cape Cod Sea Salt and Vinegar. I like Herr’s BBQ, but their salt and vinegar…welll…sucks. There is almost NO vinegar (well, vinegar flavor, since most chip companies jsut use flavor and some kind of cheap acid.) At any rate, Herr’s S+V jsut taste like plain chips to me. Good by a ‘plain chip’ standard, yes, but not by any means a salt and vinegar chip.

I am originally from Massachusetts, and I have to agree that Cape Cod chips are the best I’ve ever had. I currently live in DC, and it’s nearly impossible to get them here because Utz has a stranglehold on the market. Utz Kettle Chips are pretty good, but they just can’t compete with Cape Cod.

I really have three favorites:

Plain: Cape Cod original
Flavor 1: Lays KCBarbeque
Flavor 2: Lays or Pringles Sour Cream & Onion

If we’re talking non “chip” snacks, crunchy Cheetos & original Doritos probably top my list, although sometimes you just have to have…

…Funyions. :wink:

They are sold in the states. I see them all the time but have not tried them.

Mike Sells Ripples Potato Chips.

Potatoes cooked in 100% peanut oil, then salted. As simple as it gets, but great.

"Dirty"
AT “DIRTY’S” WE DON’T WASH OUT THE
NATURAL POTATO FLAVOR,
SO OUR CHIPS ARE CRUNCHIER AND TASTIER.

For layering on tuna sandwiches, Lays original. Thin, salty and gloriously greasy.

For dipping, Ruffles original.

For a change, salt & pepper Kettle chips.

I’ve sent cases of these to my Air Force daughter in Colorado. They arrive fresh and delicious!

Snyder’s of Berlin is proof positive of a benevolent God.

Especially the BBQ and kettle cooked ones. You can eat 'em straight OR they can replace lettuce on a ham sandwich, whichever. Bliss.

I second whoever said Baked Doritos. I think they’re cheesier than regular Doritos.

But my ultimate favorite are the Cheddar and Sour Cream kind. Heaven in a bag, I’m telling ya.

Oh, neat, thanks! But that’s a bit expensive, once you factor in shipping and everything. I’d rather just have a local source to buy a bag every week or two. I guess I’m better off without my Zapp’s… or am I?

My favs are Zapp’s Cajun Crawtator or Steak Flavor (Limited Edition).

I discovered Zapp’s when I worked as an oilfield crewboat captain out of Louisiana. It was a pleasant surprise to find them in Publix Supermarket in Panama City Beach. :cool:
