Tipsforeatingchips' Official Flavour Ranking

Before we start, please note a few things:

• These are only the flavours I have tried; if you want more added, email me and I might try to get my hands on some to taste them.
• Other people have done this, but my opinion is just obviously the most correct.
• These are flavours as a concept, not a specific brand's executions of said flavours. But if only one brand makes a flavour, then my ranking will be based off of that. While there's no spot for any company's execution of a specific flavour, but if nobody else seems to be making a certain flavour, that company will be the main and only influence on the flavour.

The List of Chip Flavours

1. Chili chips.

When I say chili chips, I don't mean sweet chili and sour cream or anything, I mean chili. And before you call me a sook, the spice level is tolerable. My problem is that the people who made the flavour thought chili was a flavour, and didn't add any other seasoning. So when you couple an unseasoned slice of baked potato, with your mouth burning, and a pressure to finish the bag, you can see why this got last place.

2. Original or salted or whatever they're called

This flavour is the last one I'd call bad. Everything after this is just varying levels of good. But lightly salted (as I'll be calling them) is just bland. If you had any other option (including non chip options) Then lightly salted is probably going to be lightly eaten as well.

3. Cheese and onion

Ok, getting better, this one I can see being higher, but my only exposure to this one is one time I bought them and was eating them on the way home from the shops. And they were alright. Sort of just an average, good flavour. This feels more like default chip flavour than salted, which feels like "I don't want to gain weight but I also want to be a pig and eat a bunch of chips, ooh these ones are low in salt!" What do you think those chips are cooked in? An oven? Oh you sweet summer child. (In case the chips actually are oven baked and contain little to no oil and fat, then these may actually be a decently healthy snack. However most benefits of potato are lost when cooking, so while they are close to the healthiness ceiling for potato chips, they are still unhealthy.)

4. Black pepper and lime

This flavour, exists. I've had it a few times, and I remember it being good. Once I get enough money from ad revenue from the one ad that may or may not be on this site, I'll buy more and taste it.

5. Barbecue (that cannot be how it's spelt)

Barbecue chips are the first one I've eaten more than 3 times here, being probably my most eaten chip flavour due to my grandpa bringing them over every Saturday. The reason they are so low is because a: I've eaten them a lot, thus making them bland. And b: If I could change what flavour he brings over I would, barbecue were never my favourite. Despite all this, the chips go exeptionally good with dips, and every time I consider moving them down barbecue pringles (which are not bad unless you compare them to other pringles flavours but all pringles flavours are great and barbecue just happens to be the worst out of the best) start banging on the inside of my skull and I go "oh yeah, you're pretty tasty." Because I talk to imaginary chip flavours.

6. Salt and Vinegar

Ok, before I start world war 3 (or 4 if you're reading this in the future) the placement of this does seem low, but remember that after cheese and onion all the flavours were at a baseline good. And this flavour is quite a bit better than good. Salt and vinegar is truly an iconic chip flavour, with the tang of the vinegar going quite well with the saltiness of, well, salt. This flavour is one that if you haven't tried, you're temporarily banned from my website, until you try some. Salt and vinegar is just a great, humble flavour.

7. Sour Cream and Onion

Ok, minor spoiler for number one, but whenever big potato chips's shareholders decide to put sour cream in a chip flavour, you know that it's about to be good. And sour cream and onion is that. Now while you're probably thinking of pringles, but there are in fact other companies that have made this flavour. I think. This is yet again another great flavour. Obviously given it's in the top 3. I really like when chips go for more of a herbal direction, or just anything that can be encapsulated with

this specific shade of green
8. Light & Tangy

Light and Tangy is another highly iconic flavour of chip. While the name gives you about as many clues as the first half of an average cooking recipe, it actually uses tomato, onion, and paprika. So if I had to rename it then it would be like, Tangy Tomato and Onion, or something. But alas, the flavour tastes really good. No surprise considering my taste in food.

9. Reveal Number One Sweet Chili and Sour Cream

   Ok, number one now, and I have nothing but good things to say. Firstly, unlike someone, Sweet Chili remembered that spice isn't a standalone flavour, and actually made a compelling flavour without the spice. It's very sweet, but also salty, and then the spice blends that as well as multiplying it. But with the not sweet chili chips, there is nothing to multiply, becuase 0x5 is still 0. Sweet chili chips also come with most brands, so you have lots of options for tweaks. My advice. My tips, for eating chips, is that generally, the less mainstream the company are, the more flavourful and spicy the chips are. But that's what I've noticed with the 3 brands I've tried. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my epic ranking, and I'll see you again maybe probably not.
