There's something about that hyperbolic surface, each chip identical, interlocking, racked and stacked. I know it's the wrong look for food but it's geometrically appealing.

HOLY SHIT. Sign me the fuck up! Do they distribute to the US? I see a few of them on Amazon, but would rather not order chips on Amazon. And it doesn't look like they have the caviar one anyway.

Yeah umm, no thanks. No way any of those taste better than salt/vinegar, smoked paprika, etc. once the novelty of Fancy Chips wears off.

They are in California. So in the US yes, cannot imagine they are not in Chicago area.

They are.

Hard disagree here. Krunchers, Cape Cod, and Kettle Brand all rule. I want chips to be crunchy as fuck. When Krunchers started in the '80s by Snacktime Co. they used peanut oil. And they were glorious. Don't know if that stopped when Borden bought it and transferred it to Jay's in 1988, or when Snyders bought Borden/Jay's in 2007. Definitely not as good as they once were.

EDIT: looks like Borden was still making them with peanut oil when they acquired it. I guess Snyders put an end to that, probably due to peanut allergies being so common now.

Corn chips dude. Chips and salsa win snacks. Plus... Fritos F'n rule. Potato chips are fine I guess, but Kettle chips are stupid mouth ripping horseshit.

Tortilla chips (ideally the thicker ones) + hummus might be one of those cases where inauthentic supermarket bullshit (red pepper and artichoke or whatever) works better than the real deal. Wish I had some right about now..

You were doing so well and then at the end just....bam. You fucked it all up with those last 4 words. Kettle chips are wonderful. Corn chips are also wonderful, and are better at the job of dipping generally, though the kettle chip does a perfectly fine job when available.
