Other than that, they were perfection, thin and crisp with a bit of fat.

Always pick up a bag when I see one, which is not that often.

I can't eat just one bag. I can't stop eating them until they're all gone. They're not all that hot either.

Usually their wavy version, sometimes the regular.

And no flavored chips. I find they have a very noticeable chemical taste. Yuck.

I like their Salt and Vinegar, which unlike most of their competitors is made with vinegar. (Most of them use sodium diacetate, a powder that can be run through the same flavoring machine as the rest of their flavors. Sodium diacetate is harmless, but it doesn’t taste as good as vinegar.)

They're hard to find in stores outside a relatively small distribution area, but they ship free with a minimum order that isn't exorbitant.

I wish they would have included the slicing process. (I know. I'm a dork).

They're so good you that you can buy the red hot seasoning powder itself - which is delicious on grilled chicken

H.E.B. Hijole ridged for some crafty goodness.

Ruffle's Sour Cream and Cheddar.

Can't say I've found an outstanding BBQ chip. Maybe Lay's again.

Other Favorite brands.

Miss Vickie's

Vitner's

Oh. and Mrs. Fisher's if you can find them. Something about that meaty greasiness.

hands down. They tend to be available in the Upper Midwest and Canada, but you can get them on Amazon. ETA: Actually they are a rip off on Amazon. I found a site called Bob's Produce Ranch that is a lot less expensive. I've tried most of the other chips mentioned above, but there is no comparison with Old Dutch.
