A question of great importance ...

I LOVE kettle cooked chips but alas they don't love me...<eh hem> digestive issues every time I eat them. <sigh>....Sooooo it's "Ruffles with Rrrrrrrrrrrrriges.

Remember Charles Chips, they delivered? I loved the tin cans they came in, they did cookies too...
Were they local?

If I'm dipping, tight ridges. Otherwise it's Grippo's FTW. Iove those barbecue chips so much. In fact, though getting a little off topic, my recent favorite home snack is microwave popcorn with Grippo's barbecue spice added. Embarassing to some small extent but I could eat so much of it. Tried to add it to some pasta para duros but it wouldn't stick well enough.

I also use the Grippos seasoning on popcorn! Yuuum!

Charles Chips !!!! Yesssss !!!! Now THERE is a blast from my past. Thanks Luca.

I haven't seen them down this way but up in Ohio "Snyder's" Chips are dah bomb. The come in a silver bag with blue letters...grab 'em if you see 'em.

Salt and pepper chips.

Grippo's BBQ taste good, but am I the only one that thinks they are crazy mushy?

Yes, Marsha, they're mushy. I think Grippos are the worst chip on the planet. What's with the furry feel?

Zapp's - the little chippery from Grammercy, LA are my favorite.

You'll see them every once in a while, but not regularly. For a little while you could get a couple varieties from Snyder's of Berlin in Kroger, including the Ketchup flavor which is a bit of a rarity in general outside of Canada from what I understand. It's been a while though, but it's been in the last couple years I think.

About 5 years back they did a special BBQ chip in UK themed bags, which I was picking up in a convenience store in Frankfort. It was awesome, and very different from their usual BBQ flavor, I was very sad when they were all gone.

I agree they aren't very crispy, but I don't think I'd go so far as to call them mushy.

They did a "Buckeyes" themed bag up in Ohio...quite popular. Man, I'm gonna have to make a "chip" run before the Colts Bowl.

Herr's potato chips, some of the most unique chip flavors and really good. Babyback rib, old bay, roasted sweet corn.

My vote goes to Mike Sell's ridges.
