I love Sun Chips. Helpfully they are sold near me in a 20 pack of one ounce packages, easy to throw in as a side with my lunchtime sandwich.

Which Sun Chip reigns supreme? Not counting the sweet ones or limited time varieties...

I'm a French Onion guy.

My lady friend likes the peppercorn ranch flavor.

There's no such thing as a bad Sun Chip, but I chose cheddar because cheese makes everything better.

Garden Salsa is close, but Cheddar is better.

I added that as a choice, those have been on the shelf locally for a while now. I forgot about them because they aren't included in the variety pack.

I love them all, but I think I like the Salsa ones best and the French Onion a close second.

French Onion or Harvest Cheddar. Not sold on the Garden Salsa.

And that invalidates/erases everyone else's previous votes when I do that.

Man, I suck.

S'okay. We revote.

The consumer packaged goods industry is crazy about this product since it somehow fused the idea of eating crappy shit out of a single-serve bag and saving the earth. I read somewhere that their new biodegradable bag makes a crinkly sound slightly louder than Metallica.

Anyway, Cheddar for me.

I was just on my way to do that.

additionally, I took a picture of Schaefer beer in the grocery store the other day because of this place. (couldn't lower myself to buy it though)

Sun Chips just appeared in our vending machine -- they must have been behind something earlier -- but now it's only taking coins, not dollars. Eff you, vending machine.

At a recent conference, a local bar had cans of Schaefer--$1.50-- and that was overpriced.

Was my Dad's beer of choice-- hell I buried him with some, so I had to have a few in his memory.

The Sun Chip marketing would dissuade me from trying it. The chip reminds me of a Dipsy Doodle. And when I see the word "multigrain", I think to myself: "healthy". Meaning crappy tasting.

Re: Here Comes the Sun (Chips)

I think that's the point-- like Vitamin Water, they're marketing to people who like to think they're making a healthy/-ier choice.

That said, they's good chips. Dipsy Doodles, but tastier, and with the flavor dust and-- now-- an obscenely-loud bag.

Re: Here Comes the Sun (Chips)

Are you crazy? Sun Chips are a fine chip but they're no Dipsy Doodle.

The things you hear on this board. My goodness.

I was planning at one point to do potato chip reviews in this forum. I even had one written up.

Then I realized I didn't need a nother reason to get fat.

Neither have I - at least as far as I know.
Do these things like blow away all other potato chips or something?

Corn chips sans chili are terrible.
