Applies to most other things as well. More often than not “original” are the best tasting.

    What I wouldn’t be surprised to find out is that specific brands of plain vs bbq vs cheese or whatever might shift things.

    I agree with OP, but also think that Lays plain chips are the absolute worst: too thin and basically in a soup of oil and salt in the bag. I just think they’re gross. Utz is much better, but generally I prefer the heartier kettle style.

    Mind you, salt & vinegar is essentially the same as “plain”, imo

    Now there’s the real unpopular opinion here. Lol.

      I’m with you. Lays is grease in a bag with some potatoes mixed in.

      Utz makes great chips for sure. I’m more of a ruffles fan overall, with Pringles being a kind of specific use case choice.

      The great thing about utz, imo, is that they can dip as well as stand on their own.

        Haven’t had those in a good while, at least the plain ones. For a national / mass-market brand, they’re pretty good, though.
