Personally, I have to go with Schlotsky's Black Pepper. Never had a better one. Fun fact: The original idea for a potato chip came from a chef who was pissed that a diner kept complaining that his fries weren't thin enough, so he made them to screw them over. Funny how that stuff works out sometimes.
The Lays Salt and Vinegar that they make in the Middle East. (Saudi to be exact). That **** is the bomb. In the usa.....not sure, maybe vickies Jalapeno.
Pringles isn’t technically a potato chip. In fact, they have to indicate it on the can because of this.
Vickie's Sea Salt and Vinegar are good too. I really only buy potato chips when I go to Which Wich, so those are my 2 options, both good. Boulder Canyon makes great chips, not sure how easy they are to find though. Zapp's Crawtators, good ol' Flaming Hot Cheetos.
Zapps are awesome. My buddy from Minnesota always fills up his car with the Jalepeno flavored when he heads back.
These are excellent. They used to be fried in peanut oil, still in a peanut oil blend. For me second only to ruffles all-dressed. Not as high quality as a kettle chip, but the taste- kind of a combination between salt & vinegar and BBQ, without their overpowering sour and sweetness respectively. A complex flavor, every component very subtle. Somewhat similar to voodoo, but more subtle and without the heat. And more consistent. With smaller manufacturers you'll get more too hard/too oily, more burnt ones etc. Maybe don't always have the oil temp quite right.
I like the Charles potato chips that come in the big can with a lid. Of course, they are kind of a novelty item these days and are too high in price. I bought a can in recent years for my Dad cause his name is Charles. And, I remember we used to buy them in the 70s.
Depends on the government and who has the strongest lobby. Where there is a tax on potato chips....they are potato chips.
I watched some food show recently and there was a big scrub about it back in the early days. They were forced to put 'Potato Crisps' on the can so it would not be considered a potato chip in competition with real potato chips. Aside from that, I'm not sure the exact particulars but it seemed to be a ruckus at the time it came up. Oh yeah...the food show was the one where those guys eat the really old canned food and goods. They were eating a really old can of sealed Pringles. And, talked about this hub bub. Speaking of which, I've been taking my chances on some really old canned food since that show came around. Yesterday, it was five year old canned pineapple. lol
In the future, potato chips are used as snow. One day a customer was upset there was no snow, so they smashed a potato chip and sprinkled it all over her. She screams. And the super Alien then ate the girl and liked it. And that's when aliens started eating humans sprinkled with potato chip snow.
That is here where Frito-Lay has politicians in their pocket. In europe, they are taxed like potato chips.
