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.

Matt is that best friend you grew up with that I never had that I wish I had. So he's just become my spirit animal.

[@nickhawkins2938]

Ahhhgh!..french onion dip is awful..plain jain sour cream is the way to go or the frito lay smooth ranch dip..to me french onion smells like dirty socks

[@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.

[@killersopinion1829]

"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.

Dill chips. I thought the same Matt. Pickles are the worst! But Dill pickle chips are next level surprise sneaky good. Fun fact when I lived In Lithuania Dill chips were the most popular type of chip. And they changed me :) still hate pickles though. They do ruin your burger bite :) nice job Matt

Omg Matt, you rock. I love Bless Your Rank. You’re so funny 🤣

[@redrooster1908]

Never had these chips but no matter. Fun to watch his ranking of them

[@NativeWarrior88]

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!

[@bethaniejify]

I think I’ve now watched all these episodes. I love them. I did love the pre-pandemic ones a bit more where the lady brings them to your table but these are awesome.

[@RTRBAMA_18]

Sweet Heat number one no doubt about it. I totally agree with your list Matt
