Salt and Vinegar Chip Reviews

As many of you know, I am a fiend for salt and vinegar chips. Below you will find my brief reviews of all the brands of chips I have tried. Sorted from best at the top to worst at the bottom.
Brand Name Cooking Style Review
1. Uglies Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips Kettle Cooked Best salt and vinegar chips I have ever had. Hands down.
2. Dirty Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips Kettle Cooked Need to re-review
3. Covered Bridge Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips Kettle Cooked These are not your usual salt and vinegar chips. They are more sweet than salty and this definitely is a good thing.
4. Old Dutch Salt & Vinegar Chips Oil Fried Excellent chip and vinegar flavor.
5. Trader Joe's Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips Oil Fried I have been having these for over a decade and they are still solid chips. Good texture and chip quality. Strong vinegar and balanced salt flavors.
6. Utz Kettle Classics Salt and Malt Vinegar Potato Chips Kettle Cooked Great chips and great salt and vinegar flavor and balance.
7. Utz Salt 'n Vinegar Potato Chips Oil Fried Great chips and great salt and vinegar flavor and balance. Honestly pretty much the same as the Kettle cooked in terms of flavor.
8. Pringles Salt and Vinegar Chips Oil Fried I have a soft spot for these in my heart. They are my go to travel snack. They area available pretty much everywhere. The flavor of salt is very good and the vinegar is strong. Very addictive. The reason these are not higher is that they just can't compete with real cooked chips, technically these are potato crisps, not chips.
9. Wachusett Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips Oil Fried Good flavor, good vinegar. I wish it was a little bit crunchier.
10. Lay's Salt & Vinegar Flavored Potato Chips Oil Fried Really good strong vinegar flavor. The chips themselves are kinda generic and don’t have any defining texture.
11. Deep River Sea Salt & Vinegar Kettle Chips Kettle Cooked Good balance of salt and vinegar, good flavor. Not nearly strong enough.
12. 365 Everyday Value Sea Salt & Vinegar Kettle Cooked Potato Chips Kettle Cooked Truly middle of the road chips. Not bad. Not great. Truly generic.
13. Kettle Brand Sea Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips Kettle Cooked Good chips. Weak vinegar flavor.
14. Herr's Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips Oil Fried My first review of these was that they were not great. My second bag a few months later was very good. The result here is that the batches are inconsistent and results may vary.
15. Stop and Shop Brand Salt & Vinegar Chips Oil Fried Super weak vinegar. Chip is not crunchy enough
16. Wise Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips Oil Fried Good flavor chips but a bit funky. Nothing to write home about
17. The Real Coconut Sea Salt & Vinegar Coconut Flour Tortilla Chips Coconut Oil Fried This is perhaps the oddest bag of salt and vinegar chips I've had. They definitely aren't bad. But they are super inconsistent. Out of aproximately 50 chips in the bag, 43 of them were just generic lighlty salted dry tortilla chips. The other 7 were actually decently good chips with strong vinegar flavors. Is this a bag for someone who loves salt and vinegar chips? No. Is this a bag for someone who is obsessed with tortilla chips? Probably, but that ain't me.
18. North Fork Of Long Island Kettle Cooked Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips Kettle Cooked Really good as a potato chip. Slightly sweet. The reason these are at the bottom of the list is that they are not salt and vinegar chips. They just taste like regular chips.
