atmega328. It's not the most powerful chip, but it's what's on most arduinos, which is what got me into electronics in the first place.

28

I came here to make this joke but with the 68000, but you beat me to it, so here's to the atmega328.

7
I feel like the Atmega range asks an awful lot for what you get in 2024.

Of course, that could be because I designed a project around the Teensy++ which was always pricey and promptly disappeared from stock. I redesigned to use a CH32V305 breakout instead- 1/3 the price and probably way more performance which my terrible code is just busy-waiting into the ether.

I like WCH's product line in general; it's full of zany stuff.

4
I second this!

2

Definitely chippy chips with battered fish.

20

I enjoy opamps. Texas Instruments LME49723 is one of my favorites :P

15

Mmmmm. Gain.

6502

I noticed that Miss Vickie's has a new sour cream something or other flavour in a bag that's the same colour, or nearly so. Every time I go through the chip aisle I get very excited for a second, then I realize it's not actually the Harvest Cheddar and my hopes are dashed. I'm developing an irrational hatred of those impostor chips.

5
- The new ones are good, but I’ve never seen this harvest cheddar flavor

Shocked to see 0 mention of Sun Chips here

So you're all wrong

10

sun chips salsa flavor 🤤👌

3

Chocolate.

Takis.

9

They taste like a nuclear bomb going off in your mouth, and are about as expensive (at least here in Germany).

1
- They are definitely an acquired tastem I prefer them over flamin hot cheetos though.

I mostly use AMD for Linux reasons. ARM for my Apple products. (I know I should use Android and I have an Android phone but I constantly break something tinkering and I’ve accepted that about myself. My daily driver phone should be locked down. Everything else, all bets are off.)

8

Or a 6502 if you’re talking about tinkering and playing with chips.

4
Aye, glad to see the sentiment. I also cannot resist the allure of tweaking. I am a Tweaker. For my phone to not be broken, and for my mental health, I’ve had to bind my own hands.

2

All Dressed.

Or The Whole Shabang since they’re basically the same amazing flavor.

6

Ruffles All-Dressed or Lay's Ketchup

3

I get Doritos more than anything, and Spicy Nacho is the flavor of those I get the most when getting Doritos. So I guess that's my favorite.

But I also like Pringles and Baked Lays, other flavors of Doritos, Urtz cheese balls (do those count? Would Cheetos count? 🤔). I like trying everything new at least once and Doritos do a lot of limited time flavors.

But I will choose homemade tortilla chips with pico de gallo over all of them.

80486

what is this number ?

1
- Intel Chip!
  
  3

Rosemary is probably my favorite herb

Lorenz Naturals Rosemary

6

I've never had Rosemary chips but now I desperately want to try some

3

Regular Lays.

Especially with a PB&J.

6

It's the PB&J pairing that makes this the correct answer.

3
- If you're feeling extra frisky, slide a couple of those chips IN the PB&J!
  
  4
- Goddamn right. Goes together like peas n' carrots.

I'm quite partial to 74 series logic chips personally.

5

Zapp's Voodoo kettle chips.

5

This guy knows chips.

3

Kettle cooked, salt and vinegar, brand is secondary, but I'm partial to Kruncher's

5

I'd agree but kettle brand is my fav

1

Maybe it's because I can't get them where I live, but I remember Pringles Curry chips being amazing.

5

I don’t eat chips that often but it’s a tie between these All Dressed Ruffles I’ve had in America and the Tatos in Ireland. Apparently, the All Dressed is really popular in Canada.

5

As a Canadian I can confirm that they are

2
Where in America? I’m in America and have never seen those!

1
- Really? They have been on the shelves in California for years. Most grocery stores have them. They’re really good!

Lately it's been the sour cream & cheddar Baked Lay's

5

Those are the only baked chips that basically taste the same as their fried counterparts

4

The absolutely only thing I miss from my non vegan days is the Buffalo wing and blue cheese chips our local grocery chain has. They are spicy to a degree that makes you break out in a sweat and I think I almost liked them more for the endorphins they gave than eating them. I've never found a similar tasting brand,Wegmans in the states has a version but they don't even begin to compare taste wise.

4

Pfizer-Biontech

4

Samboy Barbecue Blast 🤤

4

yamaha all the way. nothing beats the fresh taste of frequency modulation

4

Red Rock Deli Sweet Chilli & Sour Cream. Unfortunately they changed awhile back and aren't as good anymore, but still pretty good.

4

Northern Ireland's finest crisp brand

4

McCoy's Salt and Vinegar. Yum yum! They're the sort of crisp that you can still taste at the end of the day.

4

Yeah these are nice.

4
I love them. The inside of my mouth, not so much.

3

Ketchup is probably number one, followed by Salt and Vinegar. Lay's is the brand most often, although Yum-Yum's are good too.

4

I agree with this

2

I’m not a chip guy, but I bought a family sized bag of cheddar lays poppables for a long train ride a few months ago, and damn near ate the whole thing by myself. Haven’t bought another for fear of doing it again. Also the bag was like $4!

Mama Zuma's Revenge

If only they were available in more places...

Croky Hula Hoops Bolgnese

Snyders of Berlin BBQ

They are not as good since Utz bought them but they are still pretty good.

It’s hard to say a specific top but it would probably be Walkers Sensations Thai Sweet Chili. Unfortunately as an American those are a bit harder to find, except through gray market importers and that makes them expensive enough that I rarely get them, and save them for a special treat.

Walkers is a UK brand of Frito-Lay. They actually tried bringing the Sensations sub-brand to the US in the mid-’00s with various Lay’s and Tostitos flavors. I bought a lot of the flavor, which I think they called Sweet Chili and Sour Cream but was basically the same. Sadly it didn’t last long, maybe a year. At a college career fair a couple years later I asked a regional manager from Frito-Lay what happened and he said all the potato Sensations flavors were selling really well, even selling out, but the corn flavors did really poorly. The corn flavors were produced on the same lines that produced Sun Chips, which were really growing in sales at the time. For unexplained reasons when they ended the corn Sensations flavors they ended all the Sensations flavors in the US. It’s funny, as kettle-cooked chips have been gaining market share it seems like Frito-Lay has struggled to find a strong brand in that area outside of Miss Vickie’s. I still wonder if they’d given Sensations more support if they would’ve done better.

I’ve seen other US brands try their hands at that flavor, but the only one I’ve felt come close is Hal’s of New York. I don’t live in New York, though, so they’re not easy to find.

Weirdly another favorite is a store brand salt and vinegar kettle chip. The vinegar is really acidic on those, to the extent my lips feel a bit burnt for several hours after eating them. I keep feeling like I should try to find the manufacturer just in case the store ever changes suppliers.

3

Recently I had mustard flavored chips in France, those were incredibly addictive.

3

American mode: takis

British mode: shoestrings or Dick's Drive-in style

3

I like chipping in to help my local church amen

3

Lays Kettle Jalapeño

Formerly Zapps Voodoo Chips until Utz bought the company and ruined them.

3

I’m not a big chips person, but I do enjoy jalapeño Doritos. Tastes like salsa.

3

Mmm

2

Munchos

3

Poca chip

3

Tim’s Cascade chips are the best kettle chips bar-none.

3

Harvest Cheddar Sunchips

2

NVIDIA.

Nothing can beat a serious monopoly.

2

Zweifel all the way if you want to go for some really good chips

2

Fat Agnus

2

Plain salt, kettle cooked, most brands are good. Chips/crisps are my favorite junk food but really the plain salt flavored ones, potatoes, oil, and salt are the best.

I also like Red Hot Blues tortilla chips.

2

Whilst I definitely enjoy proper chip shop fat chips, I'm also very partial to nice salty "fries".

2

Cool ranch Doritos and I keep them out of my house because I will marry them and have little zesty crunchy babies with them if they’re anywhere near me

2

Kettle Salt & Vinegar, babyy.

1

Cheap store-brand salt & vinegar somehow tastes better and is more snackable than any other kind of chip IME. It's got that acidic zest and brittle crunch I crave

1

Or like a 6502 if you’re talking about fun and tinkering.
