A taste test was conducted to evaluate various potato chip brands, with some outlets reporting on specific flavors such as barbecue or kettle chips. The number of brands tested varies across reports, ranging from 6 to 24, and the focus also differs, with some testing tortilla chips or ranking specific brands like Utz or Doritos. The results of these tests appear to identify top-rated chips, but the specifics of the winners and the criteria used to evaluate them are not consistent across the reports.
