Which Is Your Favourite Chips Brand and Flavour?

Kelvin0911 on 03/08/2019 - 20:15

Title's pretty much said it…
I'll start:
Pringles - onion & chives
Boulder - jalapeno or historic smokey (too expensive though)

    There's only one correct answer here. Samboy Atomic Tomato. Since I was 6 years old. I have to go quite out of my way to buy/find them too but it's completely worth it.

    Try Tyrelless chips ex uk now madin the yarra valley Victoria just fantastic yummy

    • freakatronic on 04/08/2019 - 20:54

      Tyrells are excellent. Little expensive but nothing over the top. There's this chilli flavour that my local Coles had once, that is now impossible to find :(

      • lostn on 05/08/2019 - 20:20

        they're an everyday low price of $2.70. Can't remember which supermarket, or maybe it's both.

        • freakatronic on 05/08/2019 - 20:29

          $1.60 a bag is expensive

          • lostn on 05/08/2019 - 20:53

            @freakatronic: That's cheap. Unless you're buying 45-50g packs.

    Does anyone remember early-80s Arnott's Salt and Vinegar? Crinkle-cut, pre-Ruffles era?
    Those.

    The vinegar wasn't too sharp and acidic, more like malt vinegar. When they later introduced Light & Tangy, they reminded me of those.

  • abuch47 on 04/08/2019 - 17:21

    was kettle chili but seem to taste different to me now.

    love chips but after every pack feel disappointed these days with the taste.

    pringles still good.

    • Kelvin0911 on 04/08/2019 - 17:29

      I agree. Most of the supermarket chip brands now don't taste the same anymore. Either too oily now or too much flavouring powder. Pringles are still alright

      • ssquid on 05/08/2019 - 00:19

        Pringles are still alright

        They are nothing like they used to be, even their size has diminished.

    • diddy50 on 07/08/2019 - 21:36

      They have changed their recipe, has jalapenos as well now I think. Not as spicy as before.

    Just about any chip on the planet. I can't keep chips in the house as I will just eat them till gone.

    Favourites are thicker cut/crinkle cut. Smiths Salt and Vinegar is probably my go to chip, followed by various chilli varieties.

    a long time a go they used to be a manufacturer called OGrady's, I still remember them fondly as my all time favourite as they were extra thick crinkle cut.

    • koplik8 on 04/08/2019 - 21:58

      It's good to know I'm not the only one who can't have chips in the house. I'll easily eat a whole bag lol

    Imagine these chips, semi crispy pepperoni smashed up small and mixed with potato, then shape it and fry it up like a speckled red and white Pringle chip. They taste somewhere between crispy jerky style pepperoni and crispy fried hot chips. This is the best beer snack for pepperoni and chip lovers while drinking. Like a fried beer-stick/chippy thingy thats crispy and chewy

    Not trying to rag on Pringles but doesn't anyone think the use of dehydrated/rehydrated potatoes is inferior to .. non-dehydrated potatoes? It has a different, crumblier texture that I don't like as much. I guess that's just preference though.

    Anyway to answer the question I like Kettle Chilli Chips.

      Yep, powdered stuff molded/extruded into compound-curved ovals, pioneered by Proctor and Gamble.
      A chemical company.

      Do I take any comfort that Kellogg's owns Pringles now? Not a whit.

    • dd22qq on 06/08/2019 - 01:51

      Pringles? Horrible things. Plus the company is known for using GMO potatoes as well. Not psychosomatic, but they make me feel physically ill after eating them, haven't had any in over 10 years.

      Still remember a friend back in the 90s thinking it was fashionable to be seen eating them because they used to have them sitting on the desk in the TV show Frontline. Funny stuff.

      • cruiseronroad on 07/08/2019 - 09:41

        Not the dreaded GMO’s oh no!!!!!!!!!!!

  • MarkWAau on 04/08/2019 - 22:23

    Blair's Habanero Chips. Found them some time ago at USA Foods. Mind blowing and addictive at the same time. Worth a try if you like spice. Have not been able to source them recently though.

    Used to be Toobs, Thins Light and Tangy, Burger Rings. Then switched Smith's chips original then to kettles soy chicken and chilli. Recently also like Vege chips cooked in sunflower oil not the Costco one.

    For normal cooked chips probably Schnitz

    That's also Korean onion rings and the thailand prawn chips (uncooked) need to fry yourself which is brilliant. Better than typically prawn chips at chinese restaurant

    can't decide on one.

    But Kettle Honey Soy is nice, as is Tyrrels Sweet chili and sea salt.

    A lot of the flavors I like got discontinued.

    There is a Tortila chip that Woolies sells, comes in a spicy flavor and lime & chili. Both are good.
