A colleague once told me that the combo of Irish immigration and soil conditions along the Mason-Dixon was the basis of the chip industry in PA.
Favorite Potato chip

Used to have the big cans delivered to the house. If I was home alone, I put a big dent in the contents,
Only $269 for 4 tins on Amazon.
They also probably think Natural Light is good beer. Watching a game on TV?? They break out the Pringles and Natty Light.Explains a lot of Ohio, Alabama, and Missouri!
When I was a kid they used to have Senft potato chips. I thought they were the best by far. I wonder whatever happened to them.
Also as a kid we had Bon Ton potato chips delivered to our house. I don't recall them being anything special but it was a good day when the delivery truck came.

I worked for P&G one summer. The employees wore T shirts that said "It's ER dammit!"
It is Procter, not Proctor. And Pringles are an abomination.
I remember Senft's. They apparently went out of business per the following article:When I was a kid they used to have Senft potato chips. I thought they were the best by far. I wonder whatever happened to them.

The old factory looks like it could have doubled as a firehouse. That would have been very handy dealing with grease fires.
INGREDIENTS: DRIED POTATOES, VEGETABLE OIL (CORN, COTTONSEED, HIGH OLEIC SOYBEAN, AND/OR SUNFLOWER OIL), DEGERMINATED YELLOW CORN FLOUR, CORNSTARCH, RICE FLOUR, MALTODEXTRIN, MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES, SALT, WHEAT STARCH.
That Pizza seasoning they concocted could make a shoe sole edible though.
No surprise. In Europe and parts of Asia, the train is a very common means of transport, so food vendors would likely have their locations nearby train stations to take advantage of the foot traffic.
Did not know this.....I just refuse to pay $5.00 for a bag of chips.....and am happy with my utz great value!
Man this has been a long off season - what’s your favourite toilet paper can’t be far behind.
I think favorite toilet paper always follows consumption of favorite chip. So, that makes sense.
And yes - it would be prudent to not have toilet paper too far from the behind.
I've always been a wise guy but you could rarely find them in Colorado where we lived for 40 or so years. When my in laws would visit they would bring me a case of wise chips and some Isaly's chipped ham. After traveling cross country, those bags of chips would expand to almost bursting by the time they arrived. I have learned that wise chips for the most part are from one of the Carolinas
Your spelling of favourite is the highlight of this thread.
I immediately make my first cut using the proposition that any "flavored" or "wavy" chip is not a potato chip, it is just a way to deliver an artificial flavoring or dip using a chip.
I will admit that the chips of today are not as good as what we had 40 years ago, or even 20 years ago. Charles Chips were outstanding, delivered in that can as fresh and tasty as could be.
Utz have always been solid to outstanding. Then you have Gibbles, Middlesworth and all the copycats. Lays, any store brand, Herr's, and Diffenbachs are mediocre at best.

I forgot to mention that before rampant quality control measures, brought in around 1980, you would get your Charles or Utz chips and pretzels and open them up to see how many were cooked brown or dark brown. Those chips always tasted better to me and I would dig thru the bag or can to get them first. Today a few companies seem to have realized what we are missing. I know Hammonds Pretzels are selling their hard pretzels in regular and "dark" cooked bags. The dark ones are outstanding. I wish that Utz would wake up and give us dark chips as an option. I know I would buy them. I am not supposed to eat the things, but what a way to go that would be with an icy bottled coke from Mexico.
I discovered regular Middleswarth Kettle cooked are really good as well as the BBQ. I never bought them before.
Thank you Jesus, and you too. They do not carry that in my local store(s), but now I will ask.
Kettle Brand Krinkle Cut are the best...if you can find then. I can find the Black Pepper ones but the plain krinkle are the best.
I will also say that the Wegman's Wavy Chips are very good...and VERY affordable. They're my go-to for the house and tailgates
