When Monica cooks hot dogs or burgers for supper, I often ask that she buys chips instead of French Fries. When given the choice, I prefer chips over fries. I don’t have a reason—maybe chips seem lighter than fries do. Regardless of the reason for the preference, there are four favorite bags of chips that I enjoy.
Fritos—Fritos are an enjoyable snack for me. I once considered them my ultimate favorite chip, but there comes a time when you have to move on. They are still one of my top favorites because I love the corn flavor they have and I enjoy the crunch.
Ruffles—Ruffles are an all-time favorite. It is a classic potato chip with crunch. I like the thickness of the chip as well as the flavor. I have been eating these for years, and I have found that they are best in the summertime.
Barbeque Lays—Barbeque Lays are a lunchtime favorite for me. I enjoy them most with a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich, especially when added to the inside as a secret ingredient. These are the thinnest of all of my favorite chips, which is notable. I tend to want a thicker chip, but I enjoy the flavor enough to look past this detail.
Cool Ranch Doritos—Cool Ranch Doritos are my favorite tortilla chip. There should be a cool story about why I have grown to love these, but I simple have grown to love them through trial an error with all of the other flavors of Doritos. I do enjoy them with a Subway Turkey and Ham combo.
That is my list of my four favorite chips. I would love to hear about your picks or maybe even suggestions that I should try. If you have options, please let me know in the comments section!

That’s awesome! I know Tom’s Potato Chips! I remember them growing up, but we don’t seem to think outside of national brands sometimes! You are right about Old Fashioned Lays–there is a flavor that gets lost when you add stuff ot it!

Favorite chips. Good. old fashioned Lays potato chips.
When I was younger, I lived in the San Luis Valley, and that’s potato country. We had several potato chip companies. All of them have since closed, replaced by the larger corporations. Ironically, my wife and I, and out children lived in a house in Del Norte Colorado (built in 1877 – out of railroad ties, believe it or not) and there was a small cement addon that had two foot walls. Turns out that in th early 1900s to about 1947, the home owners had ran a potato chip factory in it. It had grown large enough that they eventually built two out buildings, one that was leaning and in bad shape when we bought the place, the other was a garage. The leaning building (which I tore down because it seemed rather unsafe) was where the moved operations to in the 30s. While tearing it down and cleaning up the mess, I found a whole host of old tools, cooking hardware, empty bottles, and buried in a corner, so old, heavily waxed paper bags. The plant eventually got so large, they moved into a larger building on the outskirts of Alamosa, Colorado. When I was a kid, we went on a field trip there, and they gave us a bag of chips each. Now those were the best chips I ever ate, Tom’s Potato Chips. Never thought I’d own the house where they started.
