The cost as well.

ten dollars on a meal, you know that ten dollars
could I was at Kroger the other day getting some
things and I saw you can go to a grocery.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Store and get a like a fruit cup.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
It's like fresh cut like they cut it there, watermelon, pineapple, tangerines, whatever,
three dollars for a little plastic thing of fruit and
a pre made deli sandwich for about ten bucks.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
So is it a you know, is it a cheeseburger
and fries? No? But for the same amount of money.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
You can eat a heck of a lot healthier, and
people are starting to make that decision. So Wendy's looking
for a new CEO until they name somebody. Cfo Ken
Cook is the interim CEO at Wendy, So we wish
him luck selling Reese's Peanut butter cups at hersheyt So,
I had this list about potato chips and the most
(01:29):
popular chips around the country. And potato chips are a
the kind of a regional thing that everybody. Every area
in the country's got their favorites, like the East Coast
cape cod chips. You Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine, New
England area they've got they like the cape cod chips,
(01:49):
the kettle cooked cape cod chips, uts chips, mid Atlantic,
so the Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I always associate us with pretzels, but.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
And you know, there's a bunch of national brands, of course,
Lays and Ruffles. But here in Ohio the most popular
potato ship brands. LA, You're going to be very disappointed
when I tell you what number one is here in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I might be I don't know, maybe you're not.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
And I can come down on both sides of the
fact that the number one chip in Ohio are pringles.
Oh see, that was the sound of disappointment.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I love them as a kid.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I Pringles for me are a situational chip based on
the packaging. If you're going to the pool or the
lake or the beach, or you're traveling.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah, that's where they excel the packaging.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Correct, because they don't get cry I mean they don't
get all safe here. I'm safe now once you're down
to the bottom third, you know my you know, meat hooks.
Can't get my hand into the into the can. I
got to tilt it down, and that's where you get
into trouble. But Pringles is the number one chip. I
don't even know if that's an actual potato.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
It's a potato product, a potato crisp.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Ei.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
They're crisps. That's correct, because I think they're formed. They're
not like because I mean they're perfectly uniform right there.
You can't the potatoes don't look like that. Number two. Also,
you're going to be disappointed. Ruffles in Ohio the number
two chip. Ruffles have ridges.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, And I got into no no. I like a
good wavy chip every now and then.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Now we get into some of the Ohio based brands
which I like, like number three out of Cincinnati, the
Grippos chips.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I don't know if I've had those.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Oh, you've got to have Grippo's barbecued flavor chips because
they they they pour on.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
The barbecue seasoning.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I like that a lot of times when you have
barbecue chips, it's super light and you don't really get
the flavor. Not Grippos. They they're hot, They're They're a
solid barbecue chip. Then Cons Cons potato chips.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Cons.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I think they're out of Zanesville. I like the Cons
salt and vinegar chips.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
And I also like salt vinegar. I was gonna say
I'm a I'm a weirdo because I think most people
don't like that one, but I.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Know I like and the saltier and vinegary are the better.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Well there's a limit for me, but because I like.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
The top of the roof of my mouth just to
be shredded chips. Okay, just hurt me. Hurt me with
the vinegar chips. And Cons actually bought remember Mike Cells. Yeah,
potato chips. They were out of Dayton. They stopped producing.
But Cons, I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.
Cons now produces and markets Mike Cells, so they bought
(04:45):
the cons. The cons bought Mike Cells brand. Okay, then
Snyder of Berlin. Now I associate them with pretzels more
than yeah chips, but I do like Snyder's pretzels.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Did you ever have Jones potato Jones potato chips.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
My dad's favorite.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yes, we had to like travel to Mansfield to stock
up on them.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yes, these are the chips that I like. Jones Ballikes
from Tiffin. Have they ever had them? They're a smart
but they have some wild flavors. Ball Rekes. They've got
ghost pepper jack and Hamburger seasoning.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
That's too much, is it?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah? I gotta get someone. Have you tried and you'll
change your mind? Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
There's the Golden Crisp out of Maslin, Hartville, Haartville out
of Akron.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
They make it.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I'm going to bring some of these in for you
and to try. They make a beef tallow chip. It's
three ingredients. It's potatoes fried in beef tallow and then
salt added and that's it's They're amazing. And the beef
tallow it gets to uh not to get to I'm
clearly a chip geek. The beef tallow you can get
(05:59):
it to a higher smoke point, so they cook faster,
crispier chip less time in the oil less greasy, fantastic
from Hartville in Akron. The beef tallow chips so so overall.
So are you just a classic potato chip potato chip person?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Then as far as flavor, As far as flavor goes.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
No, I would say. The barbecue was always my favorite
growing up, so they're still up there. The salt and vinegar,
I'll do like a you know, the cheddar, but I
like pick one ingredient. Don't give me a hot fudge
sundae cheeseburger, pepperoni.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
That's fair. Chip, that's fair. I'd like to try him,
but that's fair. I wouldn't eat them regularly, that's fair.
And you also like a plane chip, not a wavy.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Or a Yeah, the cattle would be my favorite, but
the wavy is my least favorite.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Same with French fries. The crinkle cut is the worst cut.
Something about the waves interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
See if you're if you're gonna switch to fries, then
I gotta go with the waffle fry.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Waffle's good. Yeah, shoe strings good yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Wavy is it's fine. I mean I feel like that's
Those are like oven fries. If you buy your just
a package of frozen fries. Yes, when you get the wavy,
that was the school lunch fries.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Back to the styrofrome tray in fourth grade and it's
just memory, right.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
So there, there you have it. Pringles the number one
potato chip brand in Ohio. And again nothing against the Pringle.
I like, I love the predictability of a Pringle, and
I love the packaging, but it's more of a situational.
If you're going to be like, if you're going on
a road trip, get a get a can of Pringles.
You don't have the annoying kids in the back with
the bag crinkling and making all kinds of noises you're
(07:45):
trying to dry. You just have the nice cannister of chips.
And and I do like Pringles barbecue chips the best
there
