    Ok, it's Saturday so it's time for a throw down.

    Here goes:

    What is the best brand of potato chips? And which flavor is the best?

    Well I heard that @notsohotmomma found Ketchup chips in the US, so I feel betrayed, as Canada actually had a hold over them in the chip industry and now that's gone. So Im just gonna go sulk. Life has no meaning anymore...

    Fine. I'll abandon my usual calm demeanor for this. And bacon.

    The best is Herr's with ridges. Plain.
    Thin enough for delicate crispness, yet able to handle being dipped without breaking in said dip.

    Runner up...Lay's. But a tad too oily at times...

    @LesboMom, @Love, @Sammie (the Oscar Meyer snob) @Nikki, @Scarymommy, @CanadianMama, @Unforgiven....please close this thread. I have said it all...

    Let the fun begin....

    My fav is pop chips sour cream and onion. Not sure if they really count as real chips though, so I'll go with utz plain, they seem a little thicker than other brands.

    @peace I see your Herr's with ridges. They are quite delicious. With Greek seasoning on them. But seriously....you dare defile the ridge name and claim something other than Ruffles? What kind of person are you? *stomping away in a huff*

    The brand name of those jalapeno chips is actually just Kettle Brand. I love those too.

    Zapp's potato chips. Another beautiful part about living in New Orleans. Favorites: Voodoo, salt and pepper, Cajun Crawtator (boiled crawfish flavor) and baby back rib. Sorry guys, nothing you got compares to Zapp's and a cold Abita.

    Herrs are soooo good. @peace is right about that.

    @unforgiven I'm a self proclaimed potato chip whore also. That's why we don't have any at the house.

    ruffles are good but why are they so fucking expensive? @Lesbomom is a chip snob, my broke ass can only afford store brand or sometimes tom's or utz are on sale. tom's loaded baked potato are the shit. but they def must have ridges even i will not settle for ridgeless chips. the kettle ones are so hard they hurt my mouth

    My favorite is Humpty Dumpty BBQ or their All Dressed which is BBQ, ketchup, pickle, sour cream and onion, and like 5 other flavors all mixed together =P~ Pretty sure they're only available in New England though...which is so sad because those of you that like Lays or Utz would go batshit crazy over these.

    I needs me some coffee and some chips to help w/ this hangover!!!!!!!!! (:|

    UTZ Honey Barbecue. We call them "crack chips". 

    I do like other brands, but I haven't had them in awhile. UTZ say GLUTEN-FREE right on them.

    I don't buy chips bc I can eat a whole bag in one sitting. So now I'm screwed craving chips and not a chip in the house!

    I like Pringles sour cream and onion. Doritos ranch. Kettle jalapeño.

    I love those flavored pretzel bites. The buffalo is my favorite.

    @shadylane I am a chip snob. It's awful. But I haven't bought then in quite some time.
