Better than actually dipping chips in ketchup. Which is where barbecue chips usually go off the rails. They're fine, but I'd almost rather never eat barbecue chips than just have regular chips dipped in barbecue sauce.

I used to love BBQ chips, until about 10 years ago when they started tasting too sweet for me. Now, when it comes to the usual flavors, I just stick with sour cream and onion.

I have become a major proponent of basic ass potato chips with dips. These in particular are just a stellar dipping chip.

You’re probably all familiar with ‘em but they were new to me. A local market had a little stand and were selling both regular and spicy for $2.50/bag. I bought several. Now the display is gone and I can’t find them anymore. I just have one bag left. Nice quality wavy chips with a good taste and respectable bite. Easy to get carried away and overindulge.

I don’t eat a lot of BBQ chips but I think these are really nice. I’ll be bummed if their availability was just a one-time thing. I asked a guy at customer service about them the last time I was in and he had no clue. If you’re looking for spicy BBQ chips, I think you should try these. They’re not that sweet and more on the smoky side. I haven’t tried the original recipe chips. I’m more into the heat. These pass muster.
February 7, 20241 yr Can't say I've ever seen or known about Herr's chips until today. And I didn't know that Stubb's BBQ had such a national reputation that a Pennsylvania chip company is using its sauce as a chip flavoring.

That’s helpful. Cheeee curls? I’m not really into Cheetos and that whole wing of puffed up snacks. But these are legit and appropriately named. They taste great and really bring the heat. They could be hotter but they’re hot enough and most of you couldn’t handle them as they are. The Stubb’s Spicy BBQ chips have a nice, respectable kick for a store bought chip. These are on a whole other level. That price is ridiculous. Here you can buy 4 bags for $7/ea. Still hard to justify, but they’re really, really good. (Shit. Since I bookmarked that site, the price has gone up to $8/bag. That’s even worse and I’m not really into cheese puffs but man, these are good.) https://blazingfoods2.com/products/crack-balls-ranchy-cheddar-habanero-cheese-balls?variant=42827736580288

March 13, 20241 yr It burns like ice? Then I got curious and looked it up. Apparently the story goes that blue flames burn the hottest, but in ranking the chips, Mashed argues that they are not as hot as Fuego or Nitro.

Back when the bag was orange and white stripes, which was so long ago I couldn’t even find a pic of it in google image search. At some point in the last 30 years they changed their recipe along with their bag and they’re utterly forgettable.

I believe the fried starchy foods/acrylamide issue forced some significant changes in the production of chips at several of the regional "kettle" chip manufacturers about 15 years ago. Basically starchy foods with "high" sugar levels when fried lead to elevated levels of acrylamide(potential, or perhaps confirmed, cancer causer).
May 8, 20241 yr I presume that in our discussion of kettle cooked chips, we covered the greatness of the various Zapps flavors? And of course, in the HEB thread, we discussed these amazing El Patio chips, which are the best store bought tortilla chips I've ever had:
