“Personally, I like a lot of chips and can’t just pick one,” said junior Allisson Rameriz, “but kettle chips will probably be my most favorite.”
Kettle chips are a favorite snack for many people because they are crunchier than regular chips. Unlike most chips that are cooked quickly, kettle chips are cooked slowly in small batches, which makes them thicker and extra crispy.

When students have a choice, they often pick kettle chips over other kinds.
“Kettle Jalapeno chips are definitely my favorite kind,” said senior Teyanna Eades. “They are my safe food, and I love the crunchiness.”
Many people feel differently about what they prefer to munch on when they’re hungry. Some students believe Doritos are the best chips out there because of their flavors and crispy texture. They’re a popular snack with a variety of flavors that students purchase regularly. Doritos are made from corn and shaped like triangles. The various bold and spicy flavors of Doritos are Nacho Cheese, Cool Ranch, Spicy Nacho Cheese, and Spicy Sweet Chili. People like Doritos because they are crunchy and have a strong flavor that stands out from other chips. They are popular snacks at during class, lunches, or any other time.
“Sweet Chilli Doritos are so tasty,” said junior Elliana Weddington. “They are so good that I was banned from them.”
