NoHuddleKelly12 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) I mean, there are so many to choose from--how lucky are we?? I'm saying top 3 because how could you pick just 1 kind? For my money, the top 3 would be: Ruffles All Dressed Doritos Sweet/Spicy Chili Are these considered potato chips? Well, let's just say they are for purposes of the OP! However, there are so many more...what are yours?

Seasons1992 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 You only have one potato chip on your list..........misleading thread title. Top Three SNACK Foods would be more apt. Doritos is #1, especially Cool Ranch. Pringles Sour Cream and Onion. Sunchips in the Chili flavor (red bag). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot find fault with your cool ranch pick--but what are your thoughts on the classic nacho cheese flavor? 24 minutes ago, Halloween Land said: Cheetos are not potato chips.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Cheetos remain problematic due to messy fingers. You have to really invest in the process to enjoy them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the ages of my kids, luckily for me we usually have wipes handy anywhere we go which are great for an in between quick clean—but yes it’s a point well taken. Nacho Doritos have similar problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Not a big fan of potato chips anymore, but back in the day, Ruffles (original or sour cream & onion) were my favorites. These days I'm inclined towards corn tortilla chips like you get in an authentic Mexican restaurant. On game days I'll spread some on a plate, grate some cheese, microwave it for 20 seconds, add some combo of olives, jalapenos, salsa, guacamole (if avocados are in season), and Frank's Red Hot (original). Goes great with a Bloody Mary! Or I'll eat 'em right out of the bag. Or crumbled in soup or chili. When the bag is down to just crumbs, I'll sprinkle them onto a PB&J. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underrated for sure--like the toppings you're describing as well--those kind of chips pretty much go with anything well. 10 minutes ago, Mark Vader said: 1. Ruffles Cheddar & Sour Cream 2.

They don't get enough pub IMHO, but you may be able to locate some flavor profiles that are in the neighborhood of what you're missing with the chips that don't exist, and they're quite good too!

Thanks, I actually have tried those and they are okay, but not the same as what Ruffles made. The Flavor Rush BBQ & Cheddar was great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Surprisingly good, non greasy, true potato flavour. The only strange thing is that it is Canadian Tire's house brand. The 'turkey stuffing' flavour is good as well (but could use more sage...). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 From a store: 1) Ruffles have ridges. Original, no crazy flavors. 2) When I drive long distance, there is almost always a bag of salt and vinegar chips, washed down with a Diet Mountain Dew. 3) I did have a Crunchy Cheetos phase, years ago. When I go out certain restaurants have very good home made chips I enjoy with a side of ranch dip, unless there are wings anywhere in sight. I’d hate to live with that label, even if it was a misunderstanding. 🙄 I also have to mention the nacho, which I consider a major food group. It comes on a chip, and if you do it right you have something that almost brings a tear to my eye. Having said all that, I’m not allowed to bring chips home. My wife is a lovely person, but chips are her kryptonite. Marriage is all about compromise. I’m not much of a “snack person” in general, so I let her win that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Since they haven't been mentioned yet, I usually go for the salt and vinegar. It doesn't matter too much which brand it is, but it's usually the lesser known local ones that work out best. They have this specific kind in the kitchen area of my office that is incredibly good. But since I haven't been to that place in ages, I don't remember the name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far back as the early 70's my Godmother had the Charles Chips delivered to the house... pretzels, whatever. The truck had all of their products on it so you just shopped in your driveway. This was in Alden. Same with the ice cream, don't remember the company that did that though, could have been Perry's but I really don't remember... right in your driveway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
