Never had all dressed up chips but as far as Canadian treats go, ketchup chips are a crime against humanity and I move that all Canadians on the council have their membership revoked and be put on a probationary status until we can determine whether or not they are one of the "good ones"

As a Canadian, I second the motion, but only if All Dressed is included as an unforgivable food crime.

I've tried All Dressed chips before and they were decent. I'd eat them again. Don't care much for dill pickle chips, which is weird because I love dill pickles. Just doesn't work for me in chip form. My wife loves them though.

Also dips should definitely be discussed. The simple Bean Dip is a treasure and I suspect, though I cannot prove, that it is remarkably similar to what the Greeks referred to as Ambrosia.

Nope. The UK crisp industry is way behind because of the 25 year gap after the invention of prawn cocktail, when no new flavours were developed because nothing was going to beat that.

Just plain ol' crinkle and thick-cut crisps, unpeeled and sprinkled with sea salt.

This particular brand used to be kettle fried in peanut oil. But when the company was acquired by Estrella (one of two giants of dry snacks in Sweden), they replaced the peanut oil with a mix of rapeseed and sunflower oil. Estella claimed it was due to allergy concerns, which is bullshit because purified peanut oil doesn't cause reactions.

Anyway, they're still good — maybe even great. But they used to be perfect.

Man, UTZ has really gone down in quality for the last couple years. I used to hold them to a Lay's standard but now I really don't touch them at all. They always seem to be stale and kind of weird. That wasn't always true though.

Its all about the Grippo's bbq though:

Potato chip musings:

Utz are great.

Zapp's, the brand that people were having a hard time reading the font on the bag for, is also owned by Utz. Their Voodoo flavor is alright, but their Evil Eye flavor is just lovely.

Herr's are the best brand for flavors that resemble other things, like bbq baby back ribs and firehouse chicken. They seriously are some kind of food science wizards in their ability to make meat flavors added to potato chips actually taste real, and not like some crime against creation itself. Also, I hate ranch flavored things, but Herr's make this loving crazy good spicy version that they call Ragin' Ranch. I'm so lactose intolerant that Lactaid hardly does poo poo for me, so I would usually never decide that some scrub tier flavor like ranch anything would be worth the searing gut pain I'd get from it, but holy poo poo, Ragin' Ranch is amazing. I still don't really eat more than a couple of them when they're available to me, but if I could without being doubled over in pain, I totally would. I think Herr's is kind of hard to find outside of Pennsylvania, though.

As someone who likes vinegar enough that the chemical burn from salt and vinegar chips is part of the point of eating them, I have to say that dill pickle flavored chips are also fantastic. Its a flavor that makes even Lay's kinda sad chips be worth eating.

no longer made in maine, unfortunately. entirely imported from Canada now. i used to go to their factory store when i was a kid... might be why I'm addicted to eating junk food now

these are made in maine and are excellent, though:

the "bbq" is just salt and cayenne, but i enjoy them. also the only salt and pepper chips I've ever liked.

I bought and am currently eating some Utz Southern Sweet Heat BBQ chips for the first time ever. I'm not impressed. These chips taste like any store brand chip I've ever had. I never buy potato chips but really wanted to get these due to all of the praise in the thread.

I don't get it. They're just standard potato chips. Not even very good. I'll take any macro brand kettle chip over these any day.

Man, how could I forget Martin's chips?



If you grew up in south central PA odds are you've seen these chips in a plastic punchbowl at a pool party next to the turkey hill iced tea. They make plain and BBQ and maybe that's it but they're crunchy as hell non ruffled chips that tended to fold on itself while cooking so you have a lot of those curled up chips that make them excellent for stuffing in your face. Also you bought them in a big box like this that has 3 1lb nondescript white bags of these chips inside. :hellyeah:

As with any regional food produced by huge companies that comes in a box, bag, or bottle, they all taste more or less the same and people swearing up and down their local variant is special and better are just xenophobic and nationalistic in the socially acceptable context of food. Having strong opinions about a brand is entirely due to the region it’s in and the perceived social benefit of huffing corporate farts from that region.
