Je craque
In Spain we have Bonilla a la vista, really good crisps, even Koreans are crazy about them. We also have snacks from Grefusa or Frit Ravish. And more crisps from eapinaler, El Gallo, Sarriegui and literally dozens of brands. Nearly all the regions have 6-7 good brans for crisps and there are hundreds of small brands in every area. Apart from the brands you can find at every supermarket.
FunnyFrisch make these "Lentil Chips" which sounds weird but they are actually so good.
It's "Noot noot!", you philistine.

Isn't lays produced in the Netherlands?
It is still owned by PepsiCo.
In the UK we have... all of the ones at the top and... none of the ones at the bottom
I think
Please let me know I'm wrong and where I can find those thx
You can find brets although you need to do a big supermarket for them (or a specialist fancy food shop)
Try the Euro Food shops. They'll have the European brands. But yeah, the bug stores only have the typical American brands.
Amazing, will do. Thank you!
Croky in Belgium is good aswell!
Sell those in Canada. We need more options.
Pringles are so shitty that can't even be categorised as "chips" according to European regulations
Where are you getting all of these exotic templates from?
I was under the impression that CHIO was part of PepsiCo?
Kettle, Pipers, or Tyrrellโs crisps for me.
How could you leave out the best crispy crisps ever; croky?!
One of Swedens biggest chip brands has their main factory in my city, and they're available in every store. I almost exclusively buy from them, nice to have such a local thing.
I have Irish friends (republic and northern) who stock up on Taytos when they're home, and rave about them. They export from Ulster to the US, but I've never seen there here in Scotland - weird. https://www.tayto.com/about/
They're occasionally the crisp of choice in pubs; an excellent accompaniment to an 80/-. Suppose there's worse criteria for your pub crawls. But aye, a weird omission - you'd be thinking there's plenty of wagons on the Stranraer ferry that could bring a few palletloads over.
I'm in the US and a store a few minutes away sells Keogh's chips which are Irish. My girlfriend is crazy about them so I buy a bag every time I go there.
Taytos are amazing.
I'm all about Tayto, king of crisps.
North Taytos, or South Taytos?
A very important question.
The Norn Irish ones are more potent and flavoursome in my humble opinion.
freestaytos
Santa Maria also has decent ones and is owned by Paulig which is Finnish-owned.
Balsnack is Estonian, probably not available elsewhere. They make the brands Kartulivahvel, Piraat, Vigur, and some less traditional ones like Ossi which is actually pork based
