That said, there are a lot of options when it comes to sour cream and onion chips.

The order is starting with my least favorite, ending in my favorite.
The brand is legendary when it comes to chips and generally for good reason.
They seem a little thicker than Pringles, but give a similar shape.

The Taste:
I am not a fan at all.
The flavor is very minimal and the texture is pretty offputting compared to some of the other options.
The answer to that is no.

They’re honestly just mediocre at best, I’d say.
When I popped launch the bag, those brown crispy edges were noticeable.
The ridges were consistent, as well.

They are very heavily seasoned, too.
Just like pasta, the different shapes seem to taste a little different.
They appear quite thin and crispy with some brown edges.

They have a nice seasoning to them and a curved shape stackable in the tin.
It seems as though the bottom always has a little bit more seasoning than the top of the chip.
They have a little bit of a dry feel, not oily.

Plus, I love that Pringles don’t leave a greasy feel on your fingers like other chips do.
The seasoning looks evenly dispersed and although the chips look thin, many of them have held their shape.
No surprise here, Lay’s is still one of the best options on the market.

A master of their craft!
Wise Ridgies Sour Cream & Onion Potato Chips
Wiseis a medium sized chip with ridges.
They have a nice darkness to them, look hardy and crispy and the seasoning looks evenly distributed.

Almost a little too salty just by itself.
It really needs to be paired with something like a dip.
That said, as someone who loves salt, I am obsessed.

They almost look like if a Pringle and a tortilla chip had a baby.
It’s kind of wrinkly and withered unlike that perfect curve of a Pringle, and a little lumpy.
They don’t smell as strong as Pringles, but you definitely smell that the seasoning is there.
I’m blown away!
These are unbelievably delicious.
The crisp is so satisfying and you could taste how clean the ingredients are.
They’re not as seasoned as Pringles, but I kind of prefer that.
My family has a clam dip recipe and pairing them with a crunchyCape Cod kettle chipis mandatory.
That said, they weren’t always my favorite.
Many of them are quite small in shape.
It’s just going to be a matter of consistency with the seasoning and flavor.
