they Look tasty though. :D

[jonnyblitz]

33. Demoulas is a generic brand used at the Market Basket chain

of grocery stores up there in NH. There are many items with that brand name, not just potato chips.

2. Bickle's, from Pennsylvania

3. Tri-Sum potato chips

out of Leominster, MA.

I think they are the only chip on the market that are still cooked in beef fat. (Yes, they are greasy. Yes, they are salty. Isn't that the point?)

[AlCzervik]

7. Wise

OK, maybe it's because i can't get them here but i used to love them.

[Goathead]

8. I'd have to say, WOW! the ones that gave everyone the trots

I never ate them, but you can't write comedy like that. The best was when they broke the story about the the potato chips giving everyone gastrointestinal problems and you still saw people eating them.

[StopTheMorans]

9. Olestra; i had a professor in college who had to cancel a monday

class because of them; i got to sleep 3 extra hours :D BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :evilgrin:

[RebelOne]

40. I love WOW potato chips.

And luckily they have not affected me. But of course, I don't pig out on them.

[GregW]

41. Just think ... if it wasn't for Olestra ...

We wouldn't have the phrase "anal leakage" in our vernacular.

[LynzM]

11. Cape Cod Potato Chips

Which they (luckily) sell outside of the cape! They're good, but I'm not driving 3 hours to get them!

[sniffa]

24. indeed

which ones are your favorite? i Love the dark russet best.

the nantucket spice and firecracker bbq (i think they renamed it, but it's stiLL the bbq ones) are great... the jaLapeno ones suck.. and the goLden russet is pretty good.

[LynzM]

31. Hrm...

I like the dark russet, but only with dip. Otherwise, the plain old uber-crunchy, sea-salted ones are just YUMMY!

[blindpig]

13. UTZ'S

nothing else will do.

[Shakespeare]

15. Second that. And I can't get them here on the west coast. :-( nt

[mcscajun]

[bif]

17. Better Made from Detroit.

The best. And we should know--we consume more chips than any other city.

[JohnKleeb]

19. damn I dunno

[redqueen]

20. Do you know if those those are the ones Clinton loves?

I saw some silly show about presidents' favorite snacks... Bill's were these potato chips that are still stocked on AF1... just wondering. :)

[sniffa]

26. damned if i know

the chips are soLd in the LittLe shack that you might miss. they open up a coaL shute and potato chips sLide out from a mountain of potato chips, as the guy shoveLs them into a bucket or box.

[Habibi]

21. Charles' Chips!

Actually, I haven't eaten CCs in about 35 years. We used to get them delivered to our door, in a big-ass metal can! Loved those suckers.

[Midlodemocrat]

22. Cape Cod chips. The best.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. Jay's Mesiquite Crunchers

Very crispy, somewhat thick chip with a great BBQ flavor. Could eat them constantly.
The Professor

[Lautremont]

27. Old Dutch Potato Chips!

These are the best. Made in Manitoba. Regularly airlifted throughout the diaspora for hungry ex-Tobans.

[LoZoccolo]

34. Jay's Kettle Cooked

But I get into different moods. I could see myself liking Krunchers more at other times.

[Tektonik]

35. Tim's Cascade Style Hot Jalapeño Seasoned Potato Chips

East Coasters wish their chips were as good as these ones are :9

[barb162]

36. how about kettle chips/ don't care about brand

[LynneSin]

37. Grandma Utz's BBQ chips

I mean the regulars are good too, but the BBQ RULE - again, they are kettled cook!

[The empressof all]

38. Just tried the new Trader Joe's chips

They are really very, very good. It reminds me of a mix of Wise potato chips and Tim's Cascade. They have a fairly high grease index though which depending on your personal taste is either a good thing or a bad thing.

Chips are a real addiction problem for me so I rarely buy them but I did pick this bag up yesterday and was pleasantly surprised.

[Tracer]

39. THE WINNER !

Wachusetts Potato Chips. Made in Fitchburg, MA.

These are the best chips I've ever tasted. The perfect combination of crispiness, saltiness and grease. They don't carry them at my local grocery, so I drive well out of my way to buy them at a store that DOES carry them.

BTW, they are mentioned on www.taquitos.net as running in the top 10.
