Ranking Favorite Golden Flake Potato Chips | This is Alabama

[@4EvaGrindin]

The sweet heat is the ones I look for everytime I go to the gas station. Sometimes I'm lucky to find the sweet heat pork skins they make

[@Soprano1Brooke]

Those are soooo good. Much easier to find in Birmingham. I have trouble finding them as easily since moving to Huntsville.

[@maldar]

@@nickhawkins2938 Too bad I cannot get you the French Onion dip that I thought was the best and ruined all other French Onion dips for me. Sadly the owner of the small chain that made it died and the family only cared about money and not maintaining what truly got them that money and now has a regional producer/distributor make their French Onion Dip.

"When was the last time I tried a new Golden Flake flavor? 1997...that was a pop quiz." The correct answer is dill pickle about 5 minutes ago.

[@WeberIMayRoam]

They aren't as good as they *used* to be though. I remember in the 90s and 00s they would be redder than the devil, probably 80% of the bag, and it would set your butthole on fire. Now they're like plain with 10% seasoning, and one or two red ones thrown in. I've recently discovered Uncle Ray's Hot and Utz Hot and BOTH are superior to GF (and it pains me to say this, as a Southern woman).

[@LatitudeSky]

@@WeberIMayRoam You are right on the money. Uncle Rays hot is outstanding. Full stop. Utz Hot is right up there with it. But Golden Flake Hot is a different kind of hot and not like those others or like anyone else's hot chips. Utz already owns Golden Flake and I wish they would buy Uncle Rays.

So, as far as awesome snacks go, I'm much more apt to grab some chips than I am to grab something sweet! That said, I don't have any chips but I did find some Bacon sunflower seeds! I love sunflower seeds anyway (especially the dill pickle ones) but when I discovered that the greatest flavor, food, seasoning, and scent to ever exist (Bacon) now exists in sunflower seeds...I was just in heaven! So, for me, I would have had the barbecue chips number 1, cheddar sour cream #2, dill pickle #3, sour cream and onion #4, jalapeño #5 and original #6. But I have never tried Golden Flake brand. I'd love to try them!

The sweet heat are by far the best, but have you noticed that some flavors like sour cream and onion don't taste the same as they used to? That's because I heard that Golden Flake was bought by UTZ (a yankee chip corporation) and they have changed some flavors. Its sad, I know. My nanny worked at Golden Flake for over 30 years. I was raised on them. And you can tell the difference. Its a real shame. Bless their heart.
