[debm55]

[Phoenix61]

1. Zapps Voodoo Chips. Best ever!!! nt

[debm55]

2. Since you brought them up, what store are they sold in. Others might want to try them out.

[Phoenix61]

15. It's a southern brand so if not in the south Amazon might be it. nt

[debm55]

50. Thanks Phoenix61, I have to keep an eye open for them. I thought they might be regional.

[Phoenix61]

58. They are made in Gramercy, Louisiana. I've seen them in Wal-Mart inFlorida. nt

[debm55]

63. I thought so. Do they have a Creole or Cajun flavor?

[Phoenix61]

67. They do!

Zapp's chips come in flavors that are associated with Cajun culture. Zapps potato chips flavors include: Voodoo, Evil Eye, Spicy Cajun Crawtator, Cajun Dill Gator-tator, Jalapeno, Regular, Salt & Vinegar, Mesquite BBQ, and Creole Onion.

[Bristlecone]

18. The Kroger affiliated stores in CO have them.

Target also.

If you have a Potbelly sandwich shop near you (franchise chain), they have them as an option for their combo meal. That’s where I always get them tbh. Lunch.

[Chipper Chat]

34. Dollar general

[debm55]

51. All Dollar General? I'll have to check them out. I am in PA. I don't know it they sell them here or

not.

[Chipper Chat]

65. I used to buy the two dollar bags there. Voodoo had its own display at the end of 1oftheracks

[Baked Potato]

3. Kettle Salt and Pepper...

[CentralMass]

49. Those are great.

[Marcus IM]

4. My favorite flavor potato chip is potato. n/t

[NoRethugFriends]

9. And sometimes hard to find these days.

[Marcus IM]

10. Same goes for tortilla chips.

Seems like Americans like their potato and corn chips to taste like anything else but.

[CentralMass]

24. +1

[debm55]

52. I don't think I would like to try them.

[Zambero]

6. Jalapeno

An endorphin-inducing delight!

[yellowdogintexas]

21. yes!! Especially Miss Vickie's (also her salt & vinegar chips) nt

[OAITW r.2.0]

7. Lay's Ripples with Sour Cream/Lipton's Onion Soup Mix

You can't beat that.

[2naSalit]

11. One of my early favorites...

But I like the chips without the ripples. And now I usually just go without the soup mix and just have them with sour cream... kind of like baked potato with SC.

But I like the vinegar chips, don't know why. They taste so bad they're good.

[Elessar Zappa]

42. Same here regarding vinegar chips.

I dislike them yet love them at the same time lol.

[2naSalit]

47. That really is it too.

They're so awful they're good... and nobody can explain how or why.

My best friend used to tell that potato chips are evil, maybe this is what she was talking about.

[FM123]

8. sea salt and vinegar

[Irish_Dem]

39. +1

[2naSalit]

12. Plain...

Or sea salt and vinegar Or Barbecue in that order.

[leftieNanner]

13. Kettle Brand Crinkle Cut

Himalayan salt.

Available at Costco.

I can't have them in the house! Because I eat them.

Other chips go stale. Not these.

[Irish_Dem]

40. If I have potatoes chips in the house, they never go stale. :(

[calguy]

14. Last time I went into the grocery store....

a medium size bag of name brand chips was almost five bucks.
Fuck that. I only get store brand chips now, and only once in a while.
I can afford the higher price, but as a matter of principle, just won't pay it.

[wishstar]

19. Same here, instead of Lay's 7 Oz I get a store brand for less than $2 for a 12 oz bag

Don't buy chips often as they are a guilty pleasure with no nutritional value whatsoever but Lay's switcheroo reducing the size to only 7 oz while retaining high price made me try a store brand of wavies that we like just as well.

[James48]

16. BBQ

17. Chocolate covered.

Delish!

[global1]

23. I Agree - A Chocolate Dipped Potato Chip Is Out Of This World.....

Way back when I was still working and traveling I found myself in a mall near the airport for the city of New Orleans. We're talking 25 to 30 years ago - if not longer.

There was a shop/booth there that actually made flavored potato chips - like you see popcorn stores that sell flavored popcorn.

Walking around that mall shopping and eating these potato chips was one of my favorite things to do whenever I found myself in New Orleans for business.

That's where I first tried 'chocolate dipped' potato chips. I was probably one of their best customers. The mall was near the airport and before I would take my flight back home I'd stop there to buy a couple of bags of these chocolate dipped chips to take back home.

It got to a point that I actually investigated opening such a potato chip shop/booth in the Chicago area. I contacted the company that ran this New Orleans shop - but soon after I made my inquiries - the place in New Orleans closed.

Mall potato chips never caught on. As I sit here and type this - I still think it would have been a good business. You actually saw them go through the whole process of making them. Cutting the potatoes; deep frying them and ultimately flavoring or chocolate dipping them as they waited on you. It was a cool assembly line.

Kind of like the Annie's pretzels and the chocolate chip booths you see at malls now.

Nowadays - malls aren't as popular as they once were. It would have been a neat franchise to get involved with back then.

Ah!!! Memories!!!

[blue neen]

25. I actually worked in a candy store once that dipped their own potato chips!

If you get one right after its been dipped (and the chocolate is still warm), well, it's just heavenly!

[moniss]

20. The best plain chips

that are widely available that I've had, after eating chips all across the country, are "Better Made" out of Detroit. They used to only be available in stores in Michigan etc. but now they ship nation-wide to the lower 48. Reasonable shipping rate too. They do have flavors but the plain ones are out of this world.

If you prefer a plain chip that has that "old fashioned hint of lard" then I would recommend "Mrs. Fishers" out of Rockford, Illinois. They will ship to you and they are in stores regionally in Illinois and Wisconsin. Bags are way bigger than the national brands. You can get them in buckets also. Don't be put off by my comment about the hint of lard. It's really a good thing and is well balanced by the salt. Besides how can you go wrong with a potato chip that comes in a bag with a great logo of a dancing potato with a top hat?

[yellowdogintexas]

22. I am going to try air frying some chips I will report

back. I love home made potato chips and if I can make it work without the fat it should be great.

We have a burger shop here in town that makes potato chips in the store. So Good. (also one of our very best Democratic Eateries )

[debm55]

53. yellowdog, let us know how it goes.

[yellowdogintexas]

74. Epic Fail. Definitely need practice.

There are about 20 recipes on Pinterest, with a range of variations in temperature and time.

I had to cook in batches and some were soggy and some were overcooked.

With regular roasted potato chunks, the air fryer is great!!
I asked my daughter if she had made chips; she had not tried it but she has made french fries - which she says are awesome.

I will try again, but will need to do some more research.

[CentralMass]

26. I don't think that I've ever met a chip that I didn't like.

Having said that these are pretty good.

[bamagal62]

27. Salt and vinegar

And Utz rippled

[PurgedVoter]

28. UTZ Chesapeake bay crab chips

I buy a box of them so they are always handy.

https://www.utzsnacks.com/products/utz-potato-chips-chesapeake-bay-crab?variant=40443662565420

[debm55]

54. Now that sounds interesting.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

29. Plain.

Flavored chips have a distinctly chemical taste with is truly awful.

[SeattleVet]

30. Lay's Numb and Spicy Hot Pot.

Found them in a local Asian market, along with a few other ... uh... 'different' flavors.

The Numb and Spicy is really good!

They also have Spicy Crawfish, Grilled Squid, Roasted Chicken Wing, Cucumber, etc.

Numb & Spicy review:

13 different flavors:

[Ursus Rex]

80. I LOVE those with sushi.

Buford Hwy Farmer's Market here in ATL has an excellent fresh sushi counter and you pass the Lay's International kiosk on the way. I also like the seaweed flavor, but the crab is a bit much (I grew up eatiing crab and they only get a part of the taste, which is disturbing).

[diva77]

31. Haggis w/cracked black pepper

https://www.scottishgourmetusa.com/product/haggis-potato-chips-from-scotland-for-sale

Entirely plant-based chips. Seasoning is similar to barbeque.

[mopinko]

32. ruffles queso

and cottage cheese. mmm.

[William Seger]

33. Plain, but has to be salty

A lot of them seem to have reduced salt in recent years.

[Lunabell]

35. Lay's Sweet Southern Heat

Nummy!!

[gibraltar72]

36. Salt and vinegar.

[Baitball Blogger]

37. Mine too!

But I might eat chips once a year.

[Raine]

38. Sour cream and onion, yum! 😍 nt

[Fix The Stupid]

41. So..here's what happened in Ontario, Canada.

Apparently, the grocery stores and their buying entities had a dispute with LAYS over LAYS raising their prices during the pandemic.

LAYS ended up removing their chips from most grocery stores.

It was a weird sight for a while - entire rows/aisles of chips were empty...

Except for the "NO-NAME" brand...that was literally the only chip available for about a 2-3 week span.

Well, bad business move on LAYS part... everyone who never ever tried the no-name brand before, suddenly found themselves buying them.

All I can say is I wish this 'dispute' would have happened sooner.

The 'no-name' chips are simply the BEST chip I have ever tasted.

EVERY bag is fresh.

You NEVER get those bags that have little seasoning on them - Every bag has has same consistency, spice wise. This was a major pet peeve of mine - spend $3.00 for a bag of LAYS BBQ chips, and they are damn near plain chips because they need to squeeze those few hundred extra bags out when the spicer is running low...

And - best part? They are $1.00 per bag at my local grocery store compared to $3.99 for the LAYS.

If you have a chance to try them, I highly recommend them.

[debm55]

66. Can I have the name of the no name--do you mean generics? Yes. Lays chips get this BBQ seasoning all

over the place, Doesn't stick to chips.

[Emile]

43. Kettle salt and vinegar

[surrealAmerican]

44. Sour cream and cheddar -

... Cape Cod brand, but I like other types almost as much.

[area51]

45. Garden Salsa Sunchips n/t

[zanana1]

46. UTZ Russet potato chips.

A little bit of heaven.

[highplainsdem]

48. Sour cream and cheddar. Which my last cat also loved, which is part of

the reason I bought them.

[debm55]

55. My husband loves that flavor.

[3catwoman3]

56. Lay's Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper.

Lots of the chips get folded over on themselves so are extra crunchy.

[Luciferous]

57. Sour cream and onion baked Lay's which

are hard to find so I usually get my second favorite, sour cream and cheddar baked Lay's. I don't like regular chips they're too greasy.

[sakabatou]

59. The best I ever had was Pringles' Spicy Cajun.

[ForgedCrank]

60. Right now

I'm addicted to the spicy dill pickle chips from Costco.
These things really should be illegal or something.

[Kali]

61. salt

[dembotoz]

62. i cannot buy chips...no matter the size bag they are all single serving containers

I can not have them in the house
no self control

[debm55]

64. Here ya.

[diva77]

68. So true!

[Jeebo]

69. Mine is Flamin' Hot Lay's Potato Chips.

But I can't find them anywhere. The grocery store down the street has carried them occasionally but I haven't seen them in there in months. But sit me down somewhere on a couch in front of a TV with a big bag of Lay's Flamin' Hot Potato Chips and "I can't eat just one." Well, actually I can eat just one whole bag.

-- Ron

[debm55]

70. Doesn't that bother your stomach?

[yellowdogintexas]

75. Flamin' Hot Cheetos!!! (chips may have been a test market thing)

I hate it when a new product shows up and we really like it and then it vanishes. DFW is a major test market area so it happens here.

We fell in love with Doritos Salsa Verde chips and damn those things are hard to find. If you see a bag of them, give them a try.

As for Flamin'Hot, I never saw chips but damn those Flamin' Hot Cheetos are so awesome!

[Old Crank]

71. I'm in Munich

We have some interestingly flavored chips.
Currently the Brand Chipfrisch makes a flavor called.... Chakalaka.
The spicier version is Boom chakalaka.

[debm55]

72. Have you tried it? If so what does it taste like?

[Old Crank]

73. We tried them

Taste sort of like a salsa.

[tanyev]

76. Ooh! A few times a year I splurge on an online order from British Corner Shop.

I’ve tried Worcester Sauce crisps and Curry crisps, both yummy.

[debm55]

77. Curry chips sound good.

[electric_blue68]

78. Ah, curry chips ... Hmmm, wonder if any shop in NYC me get have them ..find some Brit shops

[Ursus Rex]

79. Golden Flake Thin N Crispy Barbecue.

The absolute best, ever. Not that Sweet Heat or mesquite crapola, etc

I used to have a deal with my godparents in TX that we'd take GF chips and theyd bring Blue Bell ice cream when they visited. After UTZ bought Golden Flake, it seems like they're deprecating the original BBQ in favor of sour cream and salsa mesquite sweet heat pork rinds or some such. They're still very popular, though - whenever I try to buy some at the store (for say, movie night), the shelves are packed EXCEPT for the GF Barbecue slot. I've asked 2-3 local stores but they of course have nothing to say. I buy them by the case online from GF when they're available.

[debm55]

81. That's a shame they did that to the original brand. Sometimes, I am just in the mood for plain chips

especially when eating with sandwiches.
