Just moved to New Jersey from Oklahoma and noticed these new brands. Just want to know what the best is so I can try some good snacks out. Bought the Utz Snowballs yesterday and they are fucking delicious.
 
Fuck Wise

I like Herrs chips, and their extra thin pretzels, and Utz for all other types of pretzels.

Godlike.

Wise wins for these alone. Wise BBQ chips are godlly if you get a bag with the proper amount of seasoning. Their onion rings are pretty boss too.
 
Grandma Utz are the single best regular unflavored potato chip available. Three ingredients: potatoes, lard, salt. Crunchy, delicious. Absolute best.

Herr's makes the best Jalapeno chip if you like those. I used to be able to demolish an entire bag in one sitting.

For Crab Chip, I prefer Herr's because you can get kettle cooked crab chips. Utz crab chips are pretty good if you want a thinner, crispier crab chip.

Herr's also makes these babies:

Old Bay Cheese Curls. They are so good. SO GOOD. I don't buy them anymore, because I have little to no self control around them. They're that good.
 
I live in Los Angeles. I'm from DC.
Every once in a while I buy a BOX of UTZ from the company.

It doesn't ever last more than a few days because all of my friends from the east coast DEVOUR it.

UTZ is the best EVER.
 
As far as regionally limited potato chip brands, this is the GOAT:

I've had Utz once or twice, and Herr a bit more often, never had anything made by Wise though.
 
Thanks for all of the replies guys. Seems utz is the best, but that herrs has some good niche stuff that utz doesn't make.

Also, I'll definitely be getting some utz pretzels because I like making spicy pretzels so that will be amazing as well.

What about popcorn? I noticed that utz and herrs also makes some good looking butter popcorn and other flavor as well.
 
I don't think I've ever seen Wise or Herrs, our stores are just flooded with Utz. And first post nails it, Utz's Crab Chips are the best.
 

These are terrible for you, but are one of my favorite chips.

Also +1 to Middleswarth. Growing up in Central PA they were the go to along with Good's potato chips. Haven't seen either of them sold in Philadelphia so I haven't had them in forever
 

*high five*

They dont have as many options as the others but they are the best tasting chip. Probably my favorite BBQ chip ever and their Salt and Vinegar is just OMFG

Why not Snyders?

Isnt Snyders widely available? I think they used to be rare but they merged with somebody. I know I have friends in the midwest that can find them easily.

The pretzel pieces that you posted are excellent. They recently came out with the Jalapeno one thats godly.

From where I am they've always been available, but I think they are more wide-spread now.

Not all Snyders products are good, but they have some kick-ass bites.
 
Went to a field trip to Utz in middle school. Freshly made regular Utz are amazing. So crisp and actually taste like potatoes.
we used to do the Herrs factory trip in school. Some reason everything just tasted better there.


As for the Op, Herrs kettle cooked chips are the only thing I eat nowadays
 
Damn I miss UTZ chips. Used to find them when I lived in NC, but in MI unless it's Lay's, it's shitty Better Made chips.

I have never had a potato chip as good as UTZ. Sour Cream and cheese. OH MY GOD.
