Pringles are like the french fries at some fast food restaurants.....reconstituted potato residue.

Husman's are better.

Grippo's pretzels are the best, though.

I thought we had good potato chips here until I went to Ireland. They have 2 brands that are amazing. Walker and Tayto. The Tayto ones are really off the chart. Not surprising that the Irish would know something about a potato chip.

stu72,

Please tell me you DO NOT put Grippo's in chocolate milk shakes like my wife does!! I REALLY don't like Grippo's. I'm not fond of Pringle's either; too much salt.

No I just stick to the basic like eating then with a sandwich. Thats seems a little out there for me. But each to their own.

Tried a new flavor one the other day; Sea Salt & Vinegar. Holy cow, if you like SUPER tangy potato chips, this is the flavor to get! I noticed, Lay's, Pringles, Ruffles, store brands, they all have Sea Salt & Vinegar now.

The potatoes that Tayto and Walker uses must be somewhat different than the ones we get here. I also had fries and baked potatoes there, and they were both better that the USA.

The best flavor ever. I've been hooked on them since I first tried them at Jimmy Johns a few years ago. The JJ's chips are the best too as they are real potato slices and have a great crunch.

Jimmy Chips are great chips too. The only time I east them is when I can steal them from some one elses bag (mostly my daughters).
