When it comes to chips, there are so many types to choose from. From classic potato chips to Takis, the snacking is endless. So, how do we even begin to pick the best chip overall?

Let's go through different types of chips before we get into it.

  • potato chips
  • tortilla chips
  • Doritos
  • Sun Chips
  • Tostitos
  • Cheetos
  • Fuyuns
  • Miss Vickie's
  • Bugles
  • Lay's
  • Ruffles

Obviously, there are so many others we could name but I'd be here for an eternity listing them all!  Then there are sub-categories for every flavor variety to choose from, too.

There are just too many options, that's why Illinois kept it pretty simple when it comes to our favorite chips.
