I don't know if they're just in my area here in the Midwest or not but new to me are Pringle's Selects. They come in a fancy bag and are called Mini Thin's.
Flav's off the top of my head are Garlic Parmesean, Sweet Potato with Cinammon, Schezwan BBQ, Sun Dried Tomato and one more that I can't remember. When you put one in your mouth they're kinda different but then you can't put them down.
But my favorite has already been called........Lay's. Conn's aren't bad either if I get a good batch. Some of the chip's have a small pocket of grease when you bite into them. I like that.
For dipping though I like Herr's. A stronger chip IMHO..............R1
P.S. I can eat Pringle's by the can with a few beer's...:yes:

Some of the chips I like:
Central Illinois: Kitchen Cooked (My fave, from Farmington and Bushnell, IL, check out this link: http://www.kitchencooked.net/information.php?info_id=6 - either you love 'em or hate 'em and funny it seems to be a male/female thing)
Northern Illinois: Mr. G's
Iowa: Szerlings (but salty)
Wisconsin/Minn: Old Dutch Ripples (salty)
South: Golden Flake
Jay's: Kettle Cooked
Costco: Kirkland Signature Kettle rippled (too much after awhile but have that well done, slightly burned taste).
Generally, most of these chips are lighter on the salt than Lays but to me have that "french fry" or "Pik Nik Shoestring potato" kind of taste. That taste is from my youth (New Era Potato Chips in Chicago, no longer made) but some may not like them and may describe them as having that "cold grease" kind of taste from a post above. After the second handful, you're hooked, though.
BTW, I order my fries well done when I can.

Regular old Wise potato chips are the industry standard. I eat nothing else. You can keep Wise BBQ, Salt & Vinegar, coffee or sushi flavored if they make those, and just give me a bag of the regular old Wise "All Natural" salted potato chips.
The ones that are slightly burnt are pure heaven. Why can't they make a whole bag of those?
I think I saw a bag of either Utz or Herr's KETCHUP flavored chips the other day. Small bottle of ketchup and some saltines would probably be cheaper.

Kettle-cooked has been around for quite a while. The cracked pepper flavor is a bit newer, I think.
There are quite a few good potato chip companies in Northern Ohio.
I used to know a guy who sold the plastic film that they make potato chip bags out of. He sold to most or all of the local chipmakers.
He always had large quantities of fresh chips, as well as samples of new products. I was definitely willing to help "test" a new flavor or style.
Salem, OK, Wise, and Dan-Dee were the brands I saw as a kid. We also sometimes had Charles Chips delivered.
At this point, I'd probably go for Shearer's or Cape Cod if I were buying chips. They're not really something I eat anymore though.

Just about any brand of Kettle Cooked works for me, but the ones I do up in my Presto Fry-Daddy are the best. When I was a kid summering in Maine, There was a brand with a clown that said "They're Wicked Good" They were, and I haven't seen their equal since. *note* they were Humpty Dumpty brand. I wonder if they're still around?
