That's a difficult choice.

But it's very easy to pick the worst flavour - salt and vinegar.

The colour is Puke

Salt and vinegar, pickled onion, anything that makes me feel like the crisps are eating my mouth while i eat them

[–] quinkin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

True OGs just have salted.

Do Scampi-Fries fall into the crisp family? If so then I’d put fish pillows up there with S&V

Found these wasabi flavoured bad boys in Costco once upon a time, they were insanely good. The perfect crunch and flavour. Sadly I've never been able to find them again.

As someone who reads Japanese, that font always makes me want to punch the designer. It's like someone writing in a foreign language with letters that kinda look like the alphabet, some exactly some not, and your brain cannot figure out WTF is going on.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 36 minutes ago

Can't read Japanese and also hate the font

Everyday? It had to be salt & vinegar. So many bangers to choose from, too: McCoy’s, Discos, Pringles, supermarket own-brand twirls, Chipsticks…

If I want a special treat, though? I recently discovered Croky À L’Ancienne Sweet Paprika and let me tell you, they blow every other paprika crisp out of the water. Don’t know what they’re doing over there in Belgium but it’s truly a game changer.

Slap some in a ham sandwich and it's like a flavour explosion in your mouth.

[–] Anchorxiety@reddthat.com 4 points 3 hours ago

Roast chicken for me if we're speaking generally. Salt & vinegar chipsticks however are easily the most addictive crisps.

[–] TIN@feddit.uk 18 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

Salt and vinegar are the king of crisps and everyone who disagrees is clearly barmy

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 5 points 3 hours ago

The co-op fancy own brand salt & vinegar crisps are phenomenal. Vinegary enough to clean old brass with

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 3 points 3 hours ago

Yup. I could eat salt and vinegar crisps til my tongue burns and my eyes are watering. People can have their flavour of choice, but in a multipack, they're my number one.

[–] ruuster13@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 hours ago

Also great on dirt

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Kettle Chips, sour cream and onion. Hardly ever see it anymore, but that's my all-timer. Everyone else is right about their pick, reason being I don't want to share.

I had to give up Takis, too "hyper-palatable" and addictive by design.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Discos-level salt and vinegar is top of the league

(Thai sweet chilli sensations are also pretty elite)

Why are others wrong? Clearly scared of their own tastebuds

I always liked Walkers Max Paprika!

And any flavour Kettle chips

[–] YeahIgotskills2@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

If I had to save one flavour it would probably be Cheese & Onion. However, there's so many excellent varieties out there beyond the old guard.

I've been off crisps completely for a month as part of my diet. I've lost nearly 2kg. Which is great, but fuck I miss them. I'm going cold turkey until the October holidays. Probably easier getting the jab to be honest, as crisps are my like crack to me.

Most recent fave flavour was the Walker's Jalapeno & Nacho Cheese crinkle cuts. They go amazing with beer. And therein lies the problem.

Prawn cocktail, and I will fight to the death to defend it.

[–] Anchorxiety@reddthat.com 2 points 3 hours ago

They are good for sure!

[–] ns1@feddit.uk 2 points 4 hours ago

Fun fact: most brands don't contain any prawn and are vegetarian

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 1 points 4 hours ago

Lays “Wow” regular potato chips. Those things were the shit and no one else can argue otherwise.

Also…from reading some rando qz article, they apparently could purge your body from some forever chemicals. What other flavor can attest to that!?

[–] uber_chicken@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Salt and vinegar

Skill issue

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It was the Brannigans Beef and Mustard but that's just showing my age.

Now?

Prolly the Tesco own brand Beef and Horseradish

Why?

They actually taste of something. Most of the population are basic as as fuck and can't handle flavour

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I still daydream about the Brannigans beef and mustard, nothing is ever going to touch that greatness again
