Lays....much better flavor to me...Pringles tastes likes mashed up potato flakes with water added...
then removed.

Wise >>> Lays, so thank you for helping bring me my favorite chips.

To think about the mediocrity that is Lay's or Pringles when there are so many excellent regional and local makers around is odd especially considering the premium paid.

I like them both. There is something appealing about pringles shape and strange crunchy soft texture. And lays is has a crisp light salty-potstoey-ness. The kettle-cooked lays are different, but they are not as good as other kettle cooked brands.

I do try to skip both lays and pringles unless I am on a plane or trapped at the airport.

I did have chips fried in duck fat and that was another level of yummy!

I prefer the taste of Lays. I really wanted to like Pringles because I think they are clever, but to me Pringles compared to Lays is like a piece of chicken compared to a chicken Mcnugget.

Of the two I would choose Lays, Pringles odd me out. Utz are my all time favourites though. I am a freak about them.

I never considered the ability to stack it in a cardboard tube to be a good reason to buy a particular food item.

I like both. Lay's are better REAL potato chips. But Pringles are good for something different. I actually think I like Munchos better than Pringles, though.
