For you potato chip lovers

What are your favorites?

For regular flavor, I buy Ruffles Reduced Fat. Not greasy & they're delicious! I never buy anything else now.

For barbecued chips, Lay's Wavy Hickory BBQ

In Florida, I used to like O'Grady's. I don't know if they're still around or not.

I've tried all the new "gourmet authentic" chips, but haven't found anything that I'd like to buy on a regular basis.

Minnesota potato chips. I read somewhere that your favorite chips are the ones you grew up with. Onion and Garlic are the best!

I had the VooDoo chips in New Orleans. They were really good too.
