What is your favourite potato chip flavour? (crisps for those from across the pond)

Jun 24, 2012 4:46 AM

As I sat staring at this small complimentary bag of All Dressed Ruffles that was offered with my sub, I got to wondering what interesting flavours I've been missing all these years.
I have several go-to flavours that always hit the spot for me... My current top pick would be buffalo wings and blue cheese chips (from President's Choice), followed closely by most any Ketchup or All Dressed chips. Honourable mentions go to Salt 'n' Vinegar, Sour Cream and Onion (or ... and Bacon), and Jalapeño.
Chips that don't really do it for me: cracked black pepper and lime, pickle (yes, I know pickle chips are good and popular - I just don't like them enough), plain, mustard, hotdog (yes, I tried them and they tasted a bit like a loaded ballpark frank, but not enough)...
What do you like? Have you any other exciting flavours for me to look for?
[Bonus question: Any preference between flat or ripple chips? I personally tend to enjoy the sturdiness of ripple, but like the lightness of flats]

This question from a few months ago is about brands, but there are also a lot of flavors mentioned as well. I like Ruffles Chili Cheese Fries myself.

Poore Brothers' Jalapeno, Habanero, and Salt and Vinegar. Of the national brands I like Lay's Classic best. Walkers makes a good chip, er crisp, as well.

Ketchup by Herr's. They can be pretty tough to find sometimes.

Pickle flavored chips are really good.

Flat chips taste different to me than the ruffled. Favorite flavor is Sour Cream. I try to purchase low fat, low sodium, so basically none of them tastes as good as I would prefer.

I go back and forth. I like cheetos sometimes- both puffed, curled, and crunchy. Sour cream and onion is my standby. BBQ- but have to be thin. Ruffled ones I like cheese and sour cream..I guess I'm just not a real decisive girl :-)

I prefer plain chips, with tasty dips. :)

Chili cheese fritos. They are getting harder and harder to find around here.

I'm fairly sure they're regional, but Utz Red Hot chips are the best chips ever. Very highly recommend you grab a bag if you ever see them.

I'm partial to salt & vinegar - especially if I'm eating chips with a sandwich.

@potter412: Ketchup chips are awesome. I've never been able to find them locally, but always pick up a few Herr's when visiting family in WI. Last week I was at a local Hy-Vee and they had a huge display of them. Happy days!

Jimmy John's Salt and Vinegar chips. Other brands don't seem quite the same.

Salt and vinegar with things like Sour cream and onion and BBQ after that. Canada seems to have some really oddball flavors though. General Tao's, sweet and sour and catchup flavors come to mind....sounds like the OP is from Canada since they mentioned Presidents Choice, Canadian Superstore!!!!!

@jjeff: OP also used the Canadian / British spelling of "flavor", so you're likely write on expecting them to be Canadian themselves.

@lparsons42:
Actually I live in MN but visit TB ON every year where I shop at the Canadian Superstore. Walmart has stolen some of the thunder of CS but coming from the states I like to shop at something we don't have and CS(along with Canadian Tire) fit the bill quite nicely. Oh and I'd "guess" from the wording that the OP might be from PQ but this is only a guess(I also caught the U in flavor and U in honorable). ;)

Lay's Carolina Tangy BBQ. I swear, I honestly think they put something in this flavor the makes you want to keep eating. I CANNOT stop. I can't even eat them one at a time.

this is a stupid question, not unlike most others.

@jjeff: You would be correct. I am one of those colourful neighbours who comes from the North, eh! No doubt about it! And while I do speak French as well as English, I am not from Quebec... Ontarian here. And I do love how President's Choice experiments with odd flavours like General Tao, Spare Rib, Tandoori Chicken, or Piri Piri.

Thank you to everyone for your wonderful suggestions! I've added Hawaiian Sweet Maui Onion, Chilli Cheese, Habañero, and Carolina BBQ to my shopping list...

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
