oddballI voted crunchy. I love potato chips, but in recent years have gotten tired of the saltiness, though I still love flavored chips (bbq, sour cream & onion, etc). My wife and I eat low salt and no-salt kettle chips fried in avocado oil, we're hooked, this is our main potato chip choice.

HRKRuffles have ridges, but mostly Ruffles have flavor.

83v45magnaWhen eating a sammich or maybe with a burger, I love crunchy chips. Particularly kettle cooked. I am pretty well an addict for Miss Vicky's Jalapeno kettle cooked. I also consider potato chips to be mandatory with a tunafish sandwich.
I voted crunchy as well.

TMatsLately, I’ve been able to resist. My wife and I are eating better, mostly whole foods, and quality meat, eggs, fish from known sources. I still love potato chips and would likely indulge a couple times a week, but my wife has this scanner app for food barcodes. She’s been bringing home largely tasteless chips that are harder than the hubs of hell. I can resist.

PASigThe only kind of potato chips I'll eat nowadays are kettle chips. Everything else is kind of "meh" to me now.

41These are good and are local. My hunting buddies sent me a pail when I lived in CA.

I’ll say I’m curious about that app, and that I’m laughing hard at your analogy!

Johnny 3eaglesPotato chips...Central Pennsylvania area...Goods in the Blue and white bag or box. NOT the Goods in the red and white bag. Cooked in lard.
If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

Gibbles Red Hots were the best chip I had ever eaten,
then they went under
now they are back, but the Martins Red Hots are slightly better
both are hot, but with flavor not just heat,
hard to find in central VA, I usually find them in tidewater or up in the valley

The app is Yuka, and it really is effective for analyzing the ingredients of a lot of products, not just food, for health risks, or benefit.

honestlouZapps Cajun Dill are probably my favorite, but I really like most salt and vinegar chips.

SchmelbyIf your near Cincinnati, Grippo's BBQ chips are outstanding! Best BBQ chips I've had.

vthokyThere’s a bag of Miss Vickie’s sea salt & vinegar chips staring me in the face right now. I think it’s trying to sneak up on me… and succeeding.

God bless America.
