Perhaps it is one life's great debates when it comes to potato chips, which most of us enjoy eating. How do you prefer them? The crispy, thin regular ones? Or the sturdier wavy ones?
For some it comes down to how they will eat them. If they are going to dip them, the wavy ones just work better than the thin ones do.
Personally, I am a fan of the wavy ones any way I will eat them, and they are the only variety of potato chip I will buy, aside from kettle cooked which I do like as well. I just don't eat them as often, although for a while I preferred them.
When it came to kettle cooked, Cape Cod and Poore Brother's were my absolute favorite with Jay's Krunchers mostly being in my pantry because they were cheaper and just as good.
So, kettle cooked aside, how do you prefer your chips? Regular thin ones or wavy?

I pretty much only eat tortilla chips. Most chips are so unhealthy, if I am going to blow my diet, I prefer to blow it with something better than chips. I used to like them more than I do now. But not much anymore.

I often bake my own tortilla chips, they are really good.
Honestly, chips are a conglomeration of a lot of salt, oil, and chemicals, with very little being nutritious at all. And they are wildly expensive. If I am ever tempted to spend $6-$7 on a bag of Doritos, I will re-evalute what I am buying and eating. To me, they don't even taste good.

I don't eat potato chips anymore either. Occasionally tortilla chips with salsa.

I prefer thin ones but I won’t say no to the wavy ones. I do not eat chips often though. I prefer baked treats like pies, turnovers, danishes, etc.

@porwest I don’t eat candy or chocolate but I usually will never say no to baked treats.

@porwest Sometimes with right saltiness I love eating them without dipping.
But I love half cooked potatoes with a bland taste. Mashed potatoes are yummy tooo... this post is making me crave for one, I think I will ask my mom to make a mashed potato later.

@luisadannointed 90% of the time I eat chips without dip. Just less work to eat them that way most of the time. lol

I hardly ever buy the wavy ones. I don't often buy any to be honest, although I do like the kettle type if I'm having a sandwich lunch on a journey or something. But if I were at a party or whatever I would basically pick a few of whatever were on offer!

I love both. However I love them to be crispy and spicy. Before travrlling I have them in my bag and eat them with tea.

I thought was going to be a discussion about your hair!
We call them crisps over here, but I don’t mind regular or wavy. I don’t eat them very often and it’s usually just the regular ones when I do. I’ve turned to nuts as my preferred snack. Much healthier, so I’ve been told, so I don’t feel guilty eating them. Cashews (bless you) are my favourites, but expensive, so it’s usually peanuts for me.

I'm just like you and prefer the wavy ones. Maybe subconsciously i picked the wavy ones because everyone else likes thin and I never have to share

I'll eat them either way; but I find the wavy ones saltier, which I don't prefer. Have a good day.
