I was planning on doing a burnt potato chip poll, but Mr PotatoHead did that somewhere else. So I figured I would do a “fan peeps” poll, but I did that already.
So now I’m left with the “curly” potato chip poll.
Is it just my Favorite Wife that digs through the bag of chips to pick out the curly ones and leave the regulars for her unsuspecting Favorite Husband?
Inquiring Minds Want To Know. 
seriously — What the heck are you talking about? 
What makes you think you are her Favorite Husband—-surely she can’t be that desperate Chips—-who cares?????
and to think, out of almost 40,000 posts this is one of the more intelligent ones.

I could have posted about the 58.89 pound flathead caught that came from a reliable source last weekend.
You guys checked the box, I didn’t. 
Ummmm…
There isn’t an option for a burnt curled potato chip….
That being said…
My favorite chip would be a 1.5 to 2 inch diameter Lays Ruffles that is slightly burnt to an oak brown color. A very rare chip indeed! Most burnt curled chips are less than 1″ diameter when curled. It should have half a curl so that it will pick up the most dip of your choice. Mine being “Top the Tater” from Mid America Farms. (sponsorship welcome!)
And…. just for everyones information I have included the history of the potato chip according to Wikipedia.
According to a traditional story, the original potato chip recipe was created in Saratoga Springs, New York on August 24, 1853. Agitated by a patron repeatedly sending his fried potatoes back because they were too thick, soggy and bland, resort hotel chef, George Crum, decided to slice the potatoes as thin as possible, frying them until crisp and seasoning them with extra salt. Contrary to Crum’s expectation, the patron (sometimes identified as Cornelius Vanderbilt) loved the new chips[3] and they soon became a regular item on the lodge’s menu under the name “Saratoga Chips”.[4]
In the 20th century, potato chips spread beyond chef-cooked restaurant fare and began to be mass produced for home consumption. The Dayton, Ohio-based Mike-sell’s Potato Chip Company, founded in 1910, calls itself the “oldest potato chip company in the United States”.[5] New England-based Tri-Sum Potato Chips, originally founded in 1908 as the Leominster Potato Chip Company, in Leominster, Massachusetts claim to be America’s first potato chip manufacturer.[6] Chips sold in markets were usually sold in tins or scooped out of storefront glass bins and delivered by horse and wagon. The early potato chip bag was wax paper with the ends ironed or stapled together. At first, potato chips were packaged in barrels or tins, which left chips at the bottom stale and crumbled. Laura Scudder,[7] an entrepreneur in Monterey Park, California started having her workers take home sheets of wax paper to iron into the form of bags, which were filled with chips at her factory the next day. This pioneering method reduced crumbling and kept the chips fresh and crisp longer. This innovation, along with the invention of cellophane, allowed potato chips to become a mass market product and made Laura Scudder a household name. Today, chips are packaged in plastic bags, with nitrogen gas blown in prior to sealing to lengthen shelf life, and provide protection against crushing.[8]
Maybee this topic needs its own forum?

Dude!!!
You ARE weird! 
My favorite potato chips are the ones that look like steak and are made from cows.
Dennis, I’m thinking we think a lot alike.
I hope they pay you in rubbles or pesos….

I will give you an “A” for effort.
Where are those “post-zappers” when you need them?!! 
A new high in lows for a post.
REALLY?
I eat the broken chips first and set the undamaged ones aside until I’ve eaten all the broken ones, I don’t know why but just do. They have a brand down here made in Burlington Iowa and thier the best chip around, lays don’t even come close. There use to be two other chip companies here that also made chips close to what these chips are like and Lays bought both campanies out.
Sterzings is what these chips are called and thier fried in diffrent oil then Lays and so did the other chips companies that were bought out. Lays tried to buy Sterzings out and they won’t sell. You can go by a sterzings shelf and thier almost gone, the lays chips have hardly been touched. My favorites in a chip bag are the crisp and dark colored ones, even with green in them thier the most tasty.
