Chips Ahoy! (Not those cookies though)

I was back at the store again, sandwich bread this time, but had to stop and marvel at the chip aisle. If I bought one pack of each kind of chips on the shelf today, it would cost a fortune and I would gain a bunch of weight!
So many varieties of potato chips, not to mention corn chips or blue corn chips with various flavors, and sweet potato chips. Then there are all those cheesy chips, black bean chips, kale chips too. Just to make a list of all the chips offered would probably take a half-hour of walking down that display.
But that would lead to temptation I might not resist, so I paid for my sandwich bread and hurried out the door. I have some great corn chips to have with my sandwich.
Do you have a favorite kind of chip or do you avoid chips altogether?

That is an impressive record! I rarely eat between meals, do you?

@Kandae11 I snack on roasted unsalted walnuts, almonds, pecans and hazelnuts a lot every day. What is your favorite?

@JamesHxstatic .....Yes, it is. One woman I met in the hospital had nearly gone into a seizure from drinking too much water. Her sodium level got dangerously low.

Those fall in the hard to resist category and so I never buy them.

To us, these are not really food products and we have to wonder why they are even snacks.
Not do some seem addicted to snacks these days, some spend a great deal of money on such things. It is an aisle we want to avoid here!

@PatAnthony I agree that these are pseudo food. Like tater tots: how are they really food?? Children love them and children are growing. Not a good combo.

I only buy some good corn chips, and rarely eat potato chips. All these snack "foods" and sugary drinks are causing the obesity problem in the US.

I do treat myself every now and then I buy a bag of chips. I like salt and vinegar, dill pickle or ketchup.

@JamesHxstatic they are the best. The dill pickles ones having a creamy coating similar to sour cream and onion topping but of course with a dull pickle flavour.

Unfortunately, I love chips and have to limit myself. Probably my favorite all time is plain baked potato chips, although I used to love corn chips, I can only eat the organic ones any more because I am "allergic" to the others. I like just about any kind of chip, though!

@JamesHxstatic Oh, my goodness... I didn't know that. I have never seen THAT many kinds on the shelves. Biscuits and Gravy sounds really awful, I agree!

I see that Lays makes 147 varieties of potato chips alone. There is even a "Southern Biscuits and Gravy" chip. That sounds awful!

That's a lot of chips! I do mostly avoid snacks like that, but every once in a while, I enjoy a handful of chips. I like Doritos. The taco flavor.

@JamesHxstatic Ha, that's for sure. I wouldn't mind munching away, but I have to have a limit, especially with snacks or sweets.

A handful is a good portion to limit yourself. Not that it is easy.

@JamesHxstatic And I bet they will keep inventing new flavors that keep getting weirder and stranger... Just like Doritos, the latest one I saw down here was their After Dark line with flavors like: Southern Fried Chicken, Tacos at Midnight, or Last Call Kebab...

I love chips, I would take them over cookies, too. I avoid though, because I can eat a whole bag in a sitting. :/ Good for you to avoid, I know it hard - well done!

I have a fan of potato chips.Some times back I started to buy corn chips.But potato chips have always been my favorite.Any way these days I have been able to reduce the quantity of the potato chips I eat.
