"flavored chips" news and stories

For the longest time, the only onion and garlic flavored chip I could find at my supermarket was the Wise brand. Which was fine, since I like Wise chips, but I never understood why no one else was making them. Now, obviously, this was probably a regional thing when I was growing up, and I've since found other companies that make onion and garlic chips (including Utz and Boyer's).

But no other brand tastes like the Wise brand. Both the onion and the garlic are strong. It's not one of those chips that taste like someone just dusted the surface with onion and garlic, this is deep down taste (you will want to brush your teeth before you talk to/kiss anyone or go to bed).

If you're from New England, then Cape Cod Potato Chips are probably a staple in your cupboard (or wherever you may keep your chips). The original kettle chips are quite tasty, but let's talk about the various flavored chips that Cape Cod also sells.

The Sea Salt & Vinegar chips are strong and crunchy, while the Beachside BBQ chips taste a little different than other BBQ chips, as they have molasses and chili pepper. The Jalapeno & Cheddar chips are very strong when you open the bag but taste great. The Cheddar Jack & Sour Cream are so flavorful that you don't need any kind of dip to go along with them (Cape Cod also makes a new Honey Dijon chips and Buttermilk Ranch, but my local store was out of them).
