Chips have always been a favorite snack mostly because it's easy to carry around and satisfies those hunger cravings in a jiffy. Regardless of your mood, chips have always been a snack that uplifts your mood.

Here are the Top 10 Chip flavors

1) Salted

The all time favorite flavor is the salted variety. Salted chips are versatile because they taste great when eaten on their own and go with literally any dip. Besides, salted chips are easily available and every brand does have a salted variety available.

2) Cheese

This flavor may be loved by adults but it is a bigger hit with the kids. Be it in potato chips or tortilla chips, cheese flavor is the one flavor you cannot do without. The best part about the chips is the residue they leave on the inside of the packets or on your fingers. Even after the chips are long over, licking the cheese powder off your fingers feels like an extra treat.

3) Chili

Salted and cheese are good but it's time to pick something a little more strong, something that gives your taste buds a delightful kick. Chili chips are a favorite among adults and children alike because it goes perfect with yogurt-based dips.

Many brands have resorted to offering spicier chili chips for those adventurous adults who want to see how many they can eat before they reach for something sweet.

4) Tomato/Ketchup

Red, sweet, and flavorful, tomato flavored chips are often sold as ketchup chips. Since ketchup is the most popular condiment, it's no surprise that many opt for this delightful flavor. Ketchup flavored chips are especially popular among those who like their chips to be red in color but not spicy. Or they can pretend they are eating spicy chips.

5) Sour Cream and Onion

At one point, sour cream and onion used to be an exotic flavor and not many brands offered it. Now Sour Cream and Onion is perhaps one of the most popular flavors, almost tied with the cheese flavor!

The sour cream and onion flavored chips are nice to look at too. They are dotted with little green bits that are supposed to represent the onion flavor. They are sweet yet pungent and go great with dips that have yogurt or mayonnaise in them.

6)  Barbecue

This may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you love barbecue sauce then you may just enjoy crunching on barbecue-flavored chips. Barbecue chips have a reddish tinge and have a smoky taste. They smell spicy but are easier on the palate. Barbecue chips are more of an acquired taste but give it a try and you may be surprised that they are actually pretty good.

7) Salt and Vinegar

After the salted and cheese flavors, sometimes kids, as they grow older, want something a bit stronger. The salt and vinegar may not be an instant favorite of adults but they are popular among growing kids who like the strong sour taste of vinegar. You may not even taste the salt in it as much as the powerful tang of vinegar.

8)  Honey and Mustard

If you like sweet and sour, you are going to love the honey and mustard flavored chips if you haven't already tried them. Honey mustard is a popular condiment, especially in sandwiches which is why these chips, especially if they are kettle-cooked potato chips, are a great accompaniment to your lonely sandwich.

9) Pizza

Adults may prefer the real pizza but kids may also like the pizza-flavored chips. You get the distinct taste of cheese and the subtle flavors of pizza toppings. This is an ideal snack for those who miss pizza but can't find it anywhere nearby. The pizza flavor may not give you the actual flavor of the pizza but the vivid picture of a pizza on the packet places an idea in your mind that you are about to consume chips that taste exactly like pizza!

10) Sweet chili  

There's chili and then there's Sweet Chili. The sweet chili variety can be found mostly in corn chips. The crunch of corn chips Igor's perfectly with the sweet and tangy flavor of the chips. The first bite may seem a little dubious to you but as you keep munching, and eventually swallow, you will find yourself reaching for another chip again and again.
