G-type | 2,517 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 when I was younger I preferred potato chips. As I've gotten older, I have shifted to tortilla chips.. I like the more neutral taste, and as a delivery mechanism for dips and salsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,965 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Well without context it's tough to specifically say because on their own, but with seasonings, potato chips all the way. I love Flamin Hot chips, Utz Crab chips, pickle flavored, barbecue and of course even classic regular are good. I can eat plain tortilla chips by themselves, but if there's something else to snack on, I'll gravitate towards it. However, tortilla chips are of course a must for salsa and guac, and Fritos simply belong in chili. When you add that factor, I think I like them mutually. Flavored tortilla chips are good too. They now serve some with a "hint of lime" and that makes the plain ones much better on their own. I guess Doritos are a tortilla chip. It still doesn't skew my vote even though they are probably my favorite chip of all, but they are coated in cheese powder and wash down well with Mountain Dew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfestus | 3,881 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Tortilla definitely. Tortilla is more versatile and salsa crushes onion dip or whatever. Also. Guacamole . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Tank | 974 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) To munch? Potato Chips. Utz have some nice flavors, but most are apparently regional, but there is always Amazon! As far as tortilla chips, I like the Hint of Lime I don't mind some blue corn tortilla chips, but they break easily.

Hammerfestus | 3,881 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I am always on the search for the perfect storebought chip / salsa combo. There’s more pitfalls than you’d think because apparently some companies can’t tell the difference between salsa and tomato sauce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,950 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 So we talking a plain chip in both cases? 100% the tortilla chip. Now if we get into the world of flavored potato chips vs flavored tortilla or w/awesome salsa choices -- then it gets well, spicy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Salty potato chips are tough to beat so they get my vote. That being said, a freshly fried batch of tortilla chips with some spicy guacamole or salsa is tough to top. Ultimate first world problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Tortilla chips are great with guacamole, salsa or queso. I like potato chips better with a sandwich, but tortilla chips make a great snack on their own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there is a very specific brand of tortilla I would go with because its very thin and crispy. Otherwise potato. Pre-flavored then potato all the way Any kind dip/chili/salasa/cheese tortilla all the way 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kguillemette | 1,547 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I don't really snack on either. Fresh out the fryer is the way to go in either case. Not a lot of places do fresh potato chips, though. Lots of bars and Mexican joints hook up the fresh tortilla chips, though. There's a sandwich chain nearby called Wrap City that hooks up the fresh potato chips with every order. Really good stuff. If I have to choose, I went with tortilla for my queso and not to mention spinach and artichoke dip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkchylde28 | 1,546 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 For me, it's mostly about what I'm doing. If it's a car trip, it's corn chips of one type or another all the way (plus pretzels!). If I'm at home, just looking for a snack, then normally it's going to be potato chips. As far as accompanying a meal, again, it's all about context. For "south of the border" creations, it's going to be tortilla chips, but if it's a sandwich, hot dog, or even a burger, I'm going to side with some sort of potato chip.

Webhead123 | 687 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Eaten straight out of the bag, potato chips are the superior experience. However, tortilla chips have a topping/dip flexibility that potato chips can't match. There's your answer. No dip? -> Potato Dip? -> Tortilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general I like more kinds of potato chips than corn chips, but that's basically because there are far more varieties. That being said, I don't really think that should tip the scales one way or the other since, again, it's totally contextual for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRobot | 5,825 Events Team · Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Ruffles and Doritos are both tip top for just straight chip munching. Also dig pig chips. Particularly when beer drankin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
