Barbecue chips: In search of a killer chip

Barbecue potato chips are a particular favorite among savory snack lovers. Maybe it’s the pull of the orange-colored powder. The sensory jolt of spice hitting saliva. The kick, the crunch, the lingering salty aftertaste.


Whatever it is, when done well, it’s addictive. When it’s not, well, it’s just disappointing.


This month, members of the York Daily Record/Sunday News Teen Takeover staff put four popular brands of barbecue potato chips to the test.


The results indicated that Lay’s KC Masterpiece brand is indeed a masterpiece.


Judging from the teens’ comments, it seems you have to consider a few factors when choosing a chip. Is crunch and crispness the most important thing? Or is it the flavor? The texture? In the case of barbecue chips, should the spice be knock-the-bag-out-of-your-hands strong or pleasantly mild?


Check out their reviews, below. Then, go forth, and choose your chip.
