Yup, that's right, today is National Potato Chip Day. There's a day for everything, you know, so it's really no surprise.
I used to have a favorite potato chip when I was a kid (Lay's regular chips), but now I find myself changing the brand and the style with every meal that I have (well, every meal that requires potato chips, that is, a sandwich or a burger). I had Utz Mystic Chips last night with my frozen White Castle hamburgers (shut up, I like them). Last week I had Wise with ridges with some Hot Pockets (shut up, I like them), and a few weeks ago I tried those new Pringles Minis.
Here's a history of the chip, and here's Slate's taste test of the gourmet brands.

My favorite chips on the planet are Ballreich's Marcelled potato chips. I love them so much that I have on occasion paid small fortunes to have them shipped to me, because I often have trouble finding them around where I live. In my mind, there isn't a better chip. Period.

I agree with Lorrior, it's 3/14 -> 3.14 = Pi(e) Day. Shouldn't Slashfood be covering Pie? I'm kinda disappointed...
