you'd think with the billions$ Frito Lay has invested in junk food science, the chip industry would have landed on more than 4 decent flavours (BBQ and Salt/Vinegar don't count as innovation)

You would think, yeah. The best they seem to be able to do is iterate on the classics. Ketchup, S&V, BBQ, Dill, Sour Cream. Need a new flavour? Slightly alter BBQ to be some specific BBQ flavour. Make something "spicy", etc.

There is a mexican staple flavour that I'm surprised isn't used here more often. Every crunchy junk food down there has some sort of Chili & Lime flavour and it's crazy good.

I think Tostitos tried to do that
 
Every chip specialty flavor I’ve ever had was just overpowering. I kinda like the taste of salt and vinegar, less so ketchup, and the others not at all. But even those two, I could maybe only have a handful before feeling nauseous. In contrast, the regular plain ones I could eat forever.
 
Potato chips? Mmph.

Corn chips? 2-3 times a year, average, unless someone shows up with ridiculously great salsa or guac. No Fritos allowed.

That was an exclusive Costco collab about a year ago.

saw it downstream at No Frills a month ago. picked up the Pizza one. Pure shite. And I lurv chips in an unhealthy, addictive way.

They are weird, grant you that.

Ms. V standards are awesome. As are Covered Bridge.
 
What I like about baked lays is that they're paper thin.

The thicker the chip, the worse I feel about eating it, and pita chips are usually on the thicker side.
 
I'm currently eating takis fuego. These require being in a particular mood to truly enjoy, but they are objectively one of the more brilliant products on the market. Intense, but balanced flavor.
 
The must be a hit because I noticed Doritos created their own roll ups

What beverage do you pair them with to bring out their best
 
Ruffles the only actual good chip. Probably because there's no potato 'flavour'.

All dressed were always great but sour cream and cheddar is hard to beat now.

If it isn't a light lager it has to be something sweet. And I hate sweet beverages. They have a lot of heat and a nice burst of lime that sweetness pairs well with. Good old fashioned coca cola or sprite would pair well. Coke zero for those on ozempic.

Diet Coke goes with everything.

But I don’t know that I’m pairing chips with any drink. Just crisp cool water so that I can savor the flavor of the chip, and enjoy its saltiness while washing down here and there.
 
I didn't think too much of Sun Chips back in the day, but these Harvest Cheddar chips are great. They may have found the perfect crunch.
