Martin's are solid chips too. Pennsylvania has some good chips: 

 

I'm about 40 minutes from the Herrs factory,  but have yet to do a tour. Martin's are top notch as well. If you like pretzels Hammonds are cream of the crop. I like the extra salty.

Fantastic answer.  You’ve got to match the chip with the rest of the experience.

- Good, sturdy ruffle chip with great sour cream and onion dip is killer for me

- Quality tortilla chips used for nachos (layered for goodness sakes)

- Fritos (scoops) with chili 

- Good pita chips work great with a lot of dips too.  We make a killer caramelized onion dip that’s bomb with them

 

If I have to eat a chip by itself it would probably be a Pringles sour cream and onion chip or a Lay’s BBQ chip. 
 

Excellent topic BTW

Can you share this recipe? Am intrigued by the “caramelized” description!

I mean, there are so many to choose from--how lucky are we?? I'm saying top 3 because how could you pick just 1 kind?

 

For my money, the top 3 would be:

 

Ruffles All Dressed

 

 

Doritos Sweet/Spicy Chili

 

Are these considered potato chips? Well, let's just say they are for purposes of the OP!

 

However, there are so many more...what are yours?

[Edit: By popular demand, the title has been amended to reflect a more inclusive foodie experience outside of the potato itself]

Is there a difference between a chip and a snack chip?

My all-time favorite chip. The onion and garlic flavors combine to make a truly remarkable potato chip. Who needs sour cream?

These are from Canada and only come out every couple of years. Taste just like fries covered in gravy - brilliant.

Best Salt and Vinegar Chips made today. Malt vinegar makes the difference. The crunch makes it impossible to eat just a few. So good.

Right on. I forgot to add that I like them when they’re a bit stale.

Regular Doritos (I still miss the clear window bags from the 80s)

 

Salt n Vinegar Lays

 

Fritos chili 

 

Honorable mention: The old Planters Cheese balls in a can. Not the imposter ones on the shelves now.

My wife and the rest of us have an ongoing battle between eating healthy (her) and eating what we like (us).

 

At some point a pact was made that when the Bills play on Super Bowl Sunday she'll buy the 7 gallon container of cheesy poofs.

 

Good times.

Cheetos remain problematic due to messy fingers. You have to really invest in the process to enjoy them.  

Fromage Digitosis is a problem

I don't eat any of that stuff, so my single contribution is to thank the gods that nobody mentioned Pringles.

 

The single worst product designed for human consumption that was ever invented.

I went to Turks and Caicos and was amazed at the sheer number of varieties of Pringles they had in the airport that I had never seen before.
