Utz regular. Cape cod kettle. Settled
I don’t usually buy low fat but I’m thinking they might be less greasy
YES PENNSYLVANIA LETS GOOOOOOOO
I wish you would let the audience know if your picks are national brands or regional. I’ve never heard of the winners, so I can only assume they are East Coast brands.
Once I tried kettle chips years ago, I have never gone back to regular ones. kettle chips are way better.
Jalapeno kettle chips☺️
I don't want crunchy kettle chips, I got too many crowns lol
I love herrs bbq n sourcream chips BUT their rarely pasted well. If I get bbq chips I want super orange n with sour cream I want to see lots of green chives
Herrs beating Lays 🤟🏼
Why is she against low fat? She is overweight and seems to plan on becoming obese in the near future.🛑 no more potatoes for fatty!
If you enjoy chip reviews, you might enjoy our family chip review too! Chip lovers of the world UNITE!!!
I can tell you here in Pennsylvania we have brands not represented here that are better than all of those, especially if you like kettle chips.
They must have changed their oil because now they're using cottonseed oil at least most potato chip places are you have to read the labels cottonseed cotton in general use a lot of pesticides
My favorite is Trader Joe's Organic White Truffle (which is not kettle style).
Utz for life
wow!!!!!!! those are the top brands in the country…….. never had utz. but all the other brands yes.🚮
There’s only one kettle type chip and it’s Kettle brand. Nothing else comes close. Super crunchy and great taste.
Fake as hell
Should have had old dutch in there they are pretty hard to beat for taste theyve been around since 1954 very good quality chips very tasty too and they also make kettle chips too
Kettle brand is the best
I'm glad Lays didn't win anything of this…Their chips are like eating a mouth full of grease and salt..I personally really like the Utz, kettle, and wise brands…much better quality and a lot easier to stomach.
I can't eat more than one! This is the way chips should taste. There is something better about them.
Utz, reminds me of the way Lay's use to taste but no longer do. Utz is for me from now on.
I hope to god I am never at a point in my life where I am sitting in a crowd, clapping for a potato chip review.
I'll stick with herr,s
I’ve lived all over the country and half the brands they recommend on this channel, I’ve never heard of.
Kettle is so much better than utz, utz is gross
ATK's chip tasting should compare at least a dozen brands and varieties. Sampling only four (two from the same brand) is grossly inadequate. A better tasting would try to winnow it down by categories: best traditional, best kettle, best of each of those in low sodium & low fat; also, best vinegar, best BBQ, etc.
I'm from Michigan and I like better made potato chips light or dark and I remember years ago when I was a little girl that there was a brand of Chip from Michigan called New Era potato chips that got bought out by better made.
Regular and kettle should have been treated separately. And what about Ruffles?
Well this is the 5th test of items I watched. You have numerous bags, jars or bottles and 3 or 4 plates you try out. Baloney I say as they are ALL not being tasted. What about Lays?!?! Huh!?!? Thumbs down 👎
C’om didn’t even test Ruffles!
I always get reduced fat potato chips, they seem crunchier
But we can't get UTZ at Safeway jn Phoenix. ARRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!
Marketing edible fat shavings
Mmm Ground up corn and rice made into
Hydrogenated oil sponges made with the freshest additives and come in a variety of flavors and shape! Like a circle, an oval, a cone, or a hyperbolic parabola or whatever shape you’ll buy. It’s fake food so they can make it into whatever shape you want.
Nothing will stop you from eating food that’s so processed it no longer contains any ingredients that resembles actual food. Soon you’ll eat the whole bag and feel like the garbage you just ate.
They know exactly what to add to their chemical crackers to keep you ticking, spending billions in research to figure out how to make you and your family resemble rats on cocaine. No wonder why their ground up corn, rice and sugar is flying off the shelves. When their not spending money brainwashing you and your kids into thinking there’s virtual bags of waist products should be part of your diet, they spend it on lobbying and lobbyists to prevent you from actually knowing what’s in the food they trained you to buy or pay researches to claim their products don’t cause childhood obesity.
Here at Chips inc. we don’t just care about making cheep food quickly for maximum consumption. We care about your family. Which is why we work hard to stay in your kids school lunches and cafeterias so we can increase brand loyalty and stay a permanent part of your family’s routine.
Jays is the best, come to Chicago and you may find what real food is supposed to taste like
With traditional potato chips, I only care that they're crispy, and have flavor. I have a preference towards crinkle cut, but will eat traditional cut too. They need to be at least lightly salted. For other flavors, barbecue. As for cheese flavor, the only brand I can find that is just cheese flavor, is Vitners. Lays and Jay's are cheddar and sour cream. I hate sour cream. I grew up on Jay's Potato Chips. Since they're now part of Snyder Lance, they don't taste the same.
As for kettle cooked potato chips, no amount of salt will make them taste good. I find so far, only barbecue flavor gets me to eat kettle cooked. Lays and Jay's are so far the only 2 brands I'll eat kettle cooked potato chips, as long as they're barbecue flavor.
Kitchen Cooked potato chips. …because they're made with potatoes and here in Illinois.
