What's Better than a Great Potato Chip?

Right now I'm looking at the top of the refrigerator where I have stashed a bag of Trader Joe's ridged chips, and three bags of Cheetos.

I like Pringles too but the truth is that they are only about 40% potato. The rest is flour and other ingredients that we don't want to know about.
Does anybody remember bacon flavored Cheetos? It was quite a while back & the only place I saw them was in Arkansas. Maybe it was a test market that flopped. They were delicious.
I remember Charles Chips too. For the longest time I had one of their tins that I used to keep chips in. Finding out they are available online might not be a good thing for me.

Cool Ranch Nacho Chips...game over, move on.
I always associate Utz with New York City, but that's only because they used to advertise in Yankees Stadium.
You can always ask someone at Walmart. Well, not anyone, but maybe a manager.

Gone now but Paramount Potato Chips in Flint, Michigan used to make a good potato chip. They packed their chips in a foil bag and had Slim Chipply as their mascot. I think the foil bag kept their chips fresh but for some reason they went out of business.
I remember it must have been late 50's my Cub Scout pack went to their factory and watched them make their chips and got free samples too. I think those were the best chips I ever had.

My favorite is Costco's house brand Kettle chips. Very substantial and tasty. Also, they run less than $5 for a 2 pound bag, which is much cheaper than most grocery store brands.
They only downside is the chips at the very bottom of the bag are sometimes a bit oily. I place those in a large dish lined with a paper towel. After about 24 hours, the excess oil is soaked up.

Granite State Potato Chip company in Salem, NH had the best chips. Fresh from the oven, they will fill up a five gallon pail for you. Great stuff.
Actually, that should probably be fresh from the Fryolator, not the oven.
I think they went out of business around 2007. Which is probably good for my diet, but boy were they good.

In the olden days......
Before there were so many brands of baked chips and others there was NOTHING like opening a bag of Lay's potato chips. And I NEVER could eat just one!

With salsa, or picante.
There used to be a pub in Austin called "Hanks Garage". They had french fries cooked in duck fat. Man were they good.
Sadly the place closed a couple of years ago.

Charles Chips are by far the best chip I have ever tasted. Used to have them delivered right to the door.
I also remember years and years ago you could go in Sears&Roebuck and buy warm chips by the weight right from the case at the candy counter. Dang good ones too, but alas no more.

Earlier this evening I was wondering about Charles Chips after someone mentioned them awhile back in this thread. From what I read the original company went under in 1992. Someone else has brought the rights to the name & the signature tin & is offering them online. I don't know if they're any good.

Nothing better than a good chip....regular, lightly salted...Best I've had is a brand called Michael Season's but I can' get them anymore here in Atlanta....Charlie Chips is a close second.
Any one remember Dan Dee potato chips coming in a waxed papered box?
