These extra-thick ridged potato chips promised a stronger potato taste than other chips, and came in two flavours: plain and the cheesy au gratin.

O'Grady's were a big hit in the 1980s but were discontinued by the '90s.

Still crave them? Fans often suggest Ruffles Extra Thick cheddar chips are a near duplicate.

Huh.

puts Ruffles Extra Thick cheddar chips on the shopping list

I've never seen Ruffles Extra Thick anything before, and a quick search of Amazon doesn't give me any results.

Hmm.

Maybe they're talking about "Ruffles Thick Cut"? That does (or did) exist:

https://www.taquitos.net/chips/Ruffles_Thick_Cut_Cheddar_Baked_Potato

I don't see it on Amazon either, though.

The closest thing I see on Amazon is "Ruffles cheddar & sour cream"; and I don't believe that that's the same thing; it's got a separate entry on taquitos.net.
