I don't know if this is still their slogan or not, but for me it's true that once I pop I can't stop. Especially with my favorite flavor, ranch, when I open a new can I have a really hard time stopping and have to seriously force myself to not eat more than half a can in one sitting.

Do you agree? Let's be honest, they're incredible.

Well, for the most part, the chip is just the medium these days if we're talking "flavored" chips..........(ranch, cheezy, spicy, onion, etc. etc.)


One thing I've really come to like that I'd have NEVER thought is how much I like "baked" chips.

Baked Lays
Baked Doritos
Baked Ruffles
etc.


I was at a party a couple weeks ago & they had some "regular" Doritos out....................whew!..............I could hardly choke 'em down. They actually tasted STALE to me. And that ain't no joke. I drink diet soda, but I'm really not a huge fan of diet..........(i.e. If regular Coke/Pepsi had zero calories I'd simply drink that forever).......so I can humbly choke that pill, but I'd honestly be pleased w/ baked chips for the rest of my life. :thumbsup:

Send me some, I'll pay you. I LOVE Kettle cooked. I'm dying for some from a mom and pop outlet. :)

What is a "real" chip? Something like Lays? I also love Herr's Salt 'n Vinegar, but I just can't deny the great taste of Pringles, even original flavor.

You're not doing yourself much of a favor by drinking the diet...

they're not sliced potatoes, so they can't even be labeled 'potato chip' under fda regs.

Ahh, I see that now. Had no idea. Oh well, doesn't change their great crispiness and taste.

It's funny when people take two of them and make a "beak" and put them in their mouth and talk like Donald Duck. Until they choke themselves. :Q Oh yeah, it's the alcohol.

Pringles are just potato flour crackers shaped like chips. How do you think they get every single chip the be the exact same shape?
