We know we can’t just eat one…

We were very lucky to record this episode pre-quarantine because live-sampling needed to happen (for research of course) to once and for all decide what the best chips are! These thin-sliced, deep-fried, crunchy snacks have been a staple in Snack Food Culture for centuries and we knew we had to do this episode justice. So join Tuong La and Potato Heads Hayley Kellett, Simone Dorie, and Leslie Cserepy as they get their sweet, salty, and savoury on and rank Top 5 Chips!

Ground Rules

• It does not have to be a potato chip (ie can be a corn chip)
• Variety bags (ie Munchies) do not count as a whole nomination as it’s just a bag with a bunch of different chips in it
• Is popcorn a chip? NO!
• Are Pretzels a chip? NO!
• Are Chocolate Chips a chip? Why would you ask this? NO!
• Are Cheetos/Cheesies a chip? We are going to say yes.
• No dip! We want these nominations to stand on their own.
• Does not have to have a brand attached however it is easier to gauge the quality of the chip if it is a known chip
