With so many potato chip options out there, sometimes you need a chip expert to help guide the way. Here are a few diverse brands of potato chip packs that we think fit the bill.

Pringles Snack Stacks Potato Crisps Chips

High-tech taste

This variety box includes original flavor, sour cream and onion, cheddar cheese, barbecue, pizza as well as cheddar and sour cream flavored crisps. Pringles

Who dreamed up the idea of these unique chips? It took a chemist and mechanical engineer to pair the concept of a stackable, non-greasy chip that also tasted good. In 1967, they succeeded with Pringles. In case you’ve ever wondered if the saddle shape of the chip has a geometric name, here’s the answer. It does. Win your next bar bet by revealing a Pringle takes the shape of a hyperbolic paraboloid. You’re welcome.

Ruffles Potato Chips Variety Pack

Take these for a dip

This variety pack includes 14 bags of original potato chips, 12 bags of sour cream and onion chips and 14 bags of cheddar sour cream chips. Ruffles

Few potato chips have a slogan as memorable as “R-r-r-ruffles have ridges!” It’s the ridges that make this a sturdy chip, able to stand up to the thickest of delicious dips. Just so you don’t go crazy and ruin your diet, the bags in this Ruffles variety pack are 1-ounce, single-serving sized.

Kettle Brand Potato Chips Variety Pack

A more modern option

The pack includes sea salt and vinegar flavored-chips, krinkle cut salt and fresh ground pepper chips, barbecue chips and jalapeno chips. Kettle Brand

Kettle chips are one of the newer brands on the market, having only been invented in 1982. The company is so proud of its use of organic potatoes that they even have a Tater Tracker on each bag. Just find the number at the top right corner of your bag on their website and find out which farm produced your spuds.

Baked Lay's Original Potato Crisps

Watching your waistline

This pack of 40 features original flavor chips, but you can also buy other flavors including a variety pack that features other baked products including Cheetos and rice cakes. Lay’s

If you want the snack without all the guilt, try these baked chips. They have 65 percent less fat than regular chips and are USDA “smart snack compliant.” If you’re thinking you’ve been seeing Lay’s on store shelves your whole life, you’re probably right. The company got its start in the 1930s.
