hey guys how about just a regular ol' chip with tons of that super good fine salt all over it I mean amirite  :Carl:

Classic chips nicely salted are No. 1.

Do like A&M Jalapeno tho.

i eat more classic lays than any other flavor and they're #1 and only chip used for adding as a top layer to a sandwich

Classic Lay's with jalapeno and cheese dip is the right answer. Definitely shame yourself material but I eat this as a meal at least once a month. I also love lays sour cream and cheddar.

Anyone try the new beer & brat chips?

I prefer chips with RIDGES.  Whether that be RUFFLES, WAVY LAYS or some generic brand with RIDGES, I believe that RIDGES make a sturdier, more palate pleasing chip. #RIDGES

I feel like ridges are fancier but for me they aren't better. too much flavor gets lost in the creases that my tongue (flavor receptor) can't ever get to.

i strongly dislike ridges/wavy chips but if someone wants to make a case for them, this is the thread to do it in and i'm happy to listen

what's the point of the potato ridge/wave?  "hey i'm different than a regular chip so i'm somehow better?"  gmafb

i think the point is they are sturdier and better for dipping.  if you were eating some dip, and your choice is classic lay or wavy lay, if you choose classic you might as well get used to licking dip off your fingers the entire time

i'd almost opine that chips with ridges/waves aren't really potato chips but i won't.  no- no i won't.  i'll let you guys have your fun with your deformed mongloidian chip.

you want to know how to work a dip like a pro w/ a regular non wavy chip? put it into the dip and then move it's skinny side through the dip instead of trying to scoop the dip up. then simply lift the chip straight up out of the dip and it will have a perfect amount of dip with the chip still being fully intact. then put the chip into your mouth with the dip side on the left or right instead of front or back. that way you are getting equal sides of the chip delivered to your tongue (flavor receptor) in equal doses.

I'm sorry I didn't know that classic 'tato chips weren't deformed too.  Guess you learn something new every day

i strongly dislike ridges/wavy chips but if someone wants to make a case for them, this is the thread to do it in and i'm happy to listen

lol hmmmm, OK, let's see if I can make a case for them:

1.  The ridges allow for a greater surface area of the chip.  The advantage of this is twofold:
            I. The greater surface of a chip the greater amount of flavoring can be added, thus increasing the flavor profile.  (For most                people when you crunch the chip with your teeth it breaks apart the ridges and allows your flavor receptors in your tongue access to the flavorings.  Not sure if Rick Daris is just swallowing his chips whole?)
            II. The greater surface area provided by the ridges allows for more chip in every bite.

2.  Waves act like corrugation,  reinforcing the structure of the chip to prevent breakage. Again, the advantage of this is twofold:
            I.  Chips were made to dip.  The ridges reinforce the chips structure to allow for heartier dips.  It allows for maximum dip on each chip and avoids the need for "double dipping" thus decreasing the spread of germs and harmful bacteria in a community bowl.
            II.  The reinforced structure holds up under shipment and handling from manufacturer to grocery store and from grocery store to home.  What does this mean for you? A bag full of whole, dippable chips.  If you enjoy half a bag of undippable crumbs filling up the bottom of your bag then maybe ridges aren't for you.

3.  Texture.  This question relies on how you define taste. Some people would like to define "taste" in terms of the proportional balance between sweet/salty/sour/bitter. I personally think that's a little restrictive, because it doesn't account for texture, and it is in texture that the difference between ridged and flat chips is most evident.  With ridged chips, what you have is the simulation of a "thicker" cut without actually using more potato than you would in a regular chip of comparable XY dimensions.  Therefore you get the feel of a "gourmet" thick cut potato chip.

It is for these reasons that I believe RIDGES to be a beneficial trait to potato chips that increases flavor, dipability and texture.

33 you should create a new innovative office paper or something, corrugated of course, because you can fit more paper in a box.
