I really like this series. Just a suggestion, bring the actual food and let the other person taste it.
agreed - especially since most of these chips were US-only (or mostly, can't speak for outside EU), so I had no idea what they were talking about. Some visuals would work a treat :)
Agreed
@@rikke8141 Lol, I didn't even think about the international audience. I'm in the Chicago suburbs, and I freaked out when no one knew what Jay's chips were. I can't imagine what it must be like for people outside of the US watching. Lol
True. They need to taste Irvin’s!
@@Vortex1988 Really as someone outside the US I only watch this series to support the channel. Most of the things the mention are only US, even in the other episodes, so I honestly have no idea what they are going on about. It's fair enough, they wouldn't be able to make the series with just international stuff, but it does mean that I, and other none-Americans, can't really enjoy this series too much if we haven't ever been to the US and tried all the stuff (which is unlikely).
As a European, I have no idea what is going on here
they sell some of those in France and Uk but defo half clueless too
As an Irish lad I’m weirded out, chips for me is what these lads would call “fries” and I’d call chips, crisps, but I still love Shane and Ryan so it’s g
Lay's Original are everywhere (simple salted chips) as are Calbee, just go to an Asian store or Asian section of a big supermarket.
I also have Kettle chips.
as an indian, agreed. the only one i recognised was lays original 😭
Some indian crisps are the best! Lemon and chilli flavour is a treat
So often I see Fritos in the store and think "who the hell is buying plain Fritos?" Now I know.
Alot of people use them as a dipping chip! 😅
Fritos honey bbq twists are criminally underrated
I vividly remember my first time eating one and it was a formative memory. It blew my puny mind
i once ate so many i threw up haha, and it didnt ruin them for me.
You get me
it’s the only Fritos flavor I like
They bomb, but chili cheese is even better
Ryan: We're not talking about best chip with a dip, we're talking about best chip.
Also Ryan, a minute earlier: Ruffles is better than Lay's because they're better dipping chips.
Was thinking the same thing. Says ones things then instantly contradicts himself 100%. And we all know judging just by the chip Lays classic beats Ruffles.
He’s not talking about their pairing with dip though but actually their ability to facilitate dip
@Hiccups He literally says the only thing that makes Ruffles better than Lays is when they are paired with dip. Otherwise he says they are head to head. Personally i rather lays because they are better as a snack chip on their own and they are better salted. But then he also say the stupid statement "They all taste artificial, they are potato chips.". What the hell is artificial about Lay's classic. The ingredients are literally Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Sunflower, Corn and/or Canola Oil), and Salt. Nothing artifical and could not be simpler.
First thing i thought
Theres a difference between saying "Lays is better when dipped in Ranch" than "Ruffles is better because it goes well with many dips
Therapist: Shane's chef kiss isn't real. It can't hurt you
Shane's chef kiss: 19:06
That kiss, was 10. Seconds. Long. Terrifying...
I read this comment before watching it and I still wasn't prepared.
@@JackSimpson2077 I was disturbed in a way that I didn't know I could be disturbed.
Thanks for the reminder, I'm dying laughing again 😂
JUST END IT-
Steven nearly falling off his chair and shouting "end it!" At Shane's chef kiss is wonderful
I was a bit skeptical about Steven’s #1 at first but now I think he’s absolutely right. The first time I ate kettle s+v chips was the day matured into a human being
I feel like Shane’s list was classic, simple, & elegant. On the flip side, Steven’s was bold, unique, & covered a wide range of flavor. Ryan’s felt niche, fun, & a little nostalgic. All in all, a good spread of quality & taste.
Idk about elegant lol but maybe white like him
R A V Y N wow you explained that so perfectly 😂
@@gabdominates BRUH LMFAO
Im a fan of Stephens list
gabdominates classic, simple, white? Dang
Did I really just spend 23 minutes of my life watching three men each list and discuss their top 5 chips? Yes, yes I did.
It’s an important topic. And we all learned many valuable things! 😁
Steve: "The demographic of this chip, is mostly 20-40 year old people. 70% Women."
I was waiting for one of them to say "Oh, so its a pregnancy craving thing."
interesting observation
0:04 I love how the editors put underneath their names:
Shane Madej - Will be buried with chips
Ryan Bergara - Has eaten chips before
It’s a small detail, but one that goes a long way, in my opinion :)
I wish they’d put the chip bag image up when they talk about them.
I think the show will evolve
me too. I didn't think Lay's Salt and Vinegar were in a shiny blue bag?! I thought that shit was teal
yeah as a non-american idk what any of these brands are
For their last video, I had another tab open and just googled every restaurant they mentioned. As a non-American it was quite fascinating to see!
neka Munslow as an american who just doesn't know their chips I agree
Steven: "These chips are.... SINFULLY good"
Shane, known demon doing an increasingly poor job of disguising his nature: "ooooOOOOOoooooH"
Operatic Egg
Ddrc
Tryna not be obvious by being obvious
Kinda surprised that sunchips were nowhere to be found, but I feel like they've been fading in popularity a lot these last couple decades
Garden salsa SunChips would definitely be my number one
I never remember them for some reason but I'm always happy with a sunchip
Pita chips also deserve a spot here. The #1 spot
I used to love them as a child. I don't know what happened. Now they're the last chip I eat in the variety box... and even though they're already cheddar I feel the need to eat them with some cheese dip....
@@MostlyLost coward
What Ryan doesn’t understand is that loving tf out of Fritos is Midwestern culture
I'm from them Midwest but I personally think fritos is just a solid 5/10 or 4.5
Southern Illinois here, Fritos are f tier for my taste
I’m from Mexico and fritos are AMAZING
Frito pie is one of the quintessential Texan foods probably next to bbq brisket or Tex-Mex dishes
Texas is also the birthplace Fritos :)
California here and I love fritos but specifically with bean dip
Shane's college photo was pretty haunting gotta admit
I did not expect to audibly say, "wow."
What are yall talking about, it looks exactly the same but with less of a beard.
I screamed
Where was it
Little Tikes Cozy Coupe 3:38
As a white-asian mix who is often told I’m not asian enough, I’ve never felt more validated than having matching excitement about Shrimp Chips with the boys
I thought they were shrimp crackers though?? Like they'd be first for me but aren't they not chips?
Perseus Jackson Nah, they’re definitely chips
Okay but THE WASABI ONES
Literally same
Lol same as a white mix south Asian kid ufjffn
me, an indonesian: *looks up every image of the chip that comes out after the reveal one by one* 👁️👄👁️
Hahaha same I don't know any of these
Sameee here
kettle chips at large are the best kind of chips in my opinion. I especially love the chips that are folded and wrinkly because those are the ones that have the best crunch, and the crunch is what i love about kettle chips at large.
The crunchiness is sublime, but sometimes they cut the roof of my mouth and I always have to cut the bags open 🤣
Ikrrr. Every Chinese new year I go to town on anything salted egg, even if it's bitter gourd chips!
Steven looks like he’s reconsidering every life choice that led him to this moment when Ryan and Shane discuss why Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream is superior to Ruffles Sour Cream and Onion.
I was thinking the same thing and I saw your comment 😂
I love how they just gang up on steven in that "Your a Precious Friend but My Best Friend and I are Roommates for a reason" Vibe.
“What are you, tap dancing for the man?” Has made its way into my daily vocabulary
Shane saying "I'm a pretty controversial guy" like *that* in response to *that* was hilarious and everything but Ryan's reaction was the most precious thing I've ever seen in my life.
Voodoo chips from New Orleans are insanely good. If I were on this show, they’d probably be my #1
Yessss as a cajun I have such loyalty to Zapps chips
Same
Shane and Steven should do a show together. Their dynamic seems awkwardly hilarious.
Ryan was sick for one of the Watcher Weekly shows.
Shane & Steven were pretty funny together.
How about a Midwest food thing? Because the Midwest has some weird food and they are both from the Midwest.
Charlotte Gorrell just a pair of midwestern boys eating various casseroles together!!! Call that casse-roll with it amiright
Steven really making those two look like peasants with his palate.
The way Ryan laughs at Shane's joke at 19:30 I love the bromance between Ryan and Shane
I once ALMOST hooked up with a guy who atE bbq twist while we were watching a movie... the stench sent me home and I hadn’t thought about that moment until now thanks Ryan
Taking shallow to new lengths
@@gurbaholic well how can you kiss someone if his mouth smells and tastes bad
@@gurbaholic found the guy with the honey bbq stench
As an Asian person, i would love to see you guys have Shane try different asian foods to see his reactions. I LOVE shrimp chips, but now cause im self isolating, i can't have any...
mmmhhm that is actually tragic. i live next to an asian grocery store so i have easy access.
I'm like Ryan, it didn't occur to me to include shrimp crisps!
oh fuck yeah????? support a local asian business and give us a+ content
This needs a whole series where Shane tries non-midwestern food.
I feel you - so sad that the family owned Asian restaurants etc that I normally patronize do not deliver in the area that I am quarantined in.
Shane’s last chef’s kiss made me question all of humanity.
LOL! He's abusing it every week.
Sweet sweet Rona
i read this before i got to that part and was like "it can't be that bad" ...it was that bad
I am very uncomfortable at the thought that it lasted 10+ seconds. I no longer will ever use the phrase "chef's kiss" ever again. It is ruined for me.
Maybe we need to restart the universe
Irvin's salted egg is a really good pick! it's a shame that Shane and Ryan haven't been exposed to the good stuff
Ryan should be ashamed he’s never tried it!
I realize these are probably only available regionally, but: Cape Cod classic kettle chips. Best chips of all time, I will die on this hill.
But also the fact that Ryan was the only one to include Doritos shocked me, still one of my favorite guilty pleasures 🤤
They are. Need some east coast representation on this chip panel
Yes!!!!
Steven trying to understand Shane and Ryan’s relationship while they discuss Ruffle’s cheddar & sour cream vs Ruffles sour cream & onion
I love how they translated for Brits at the beginning and then listed 12 brands I've never heard of.
Also why is the music from Great British Bake Off playing?
where's Tyrell's on the list, right mate? haha
i was making my own list in my head full of crisps in the UK
If it helps, lays is walkers
Cause who cares about brits?
I feel like this was a missed opportunity to have them bring some to try as there was a few you all hadn’t heard of! I vote we do a follow up to see if your choices have changed and to try the ones you didn’t know about!
Love that Steven went from foodie/food eater, to food expert to food critic
Ryan Bergara be like: "I have eaten chips before."
Shane Madej be like: "I will be buried with chips."
Ducks out for Bergarabe
@@2122Hellfire lol I hadn't realized I misspelled it until just now
I can’t believe I’m watching 3 men debate chips and I’m enjoying it
You would love GMM
@@danielledavis9335 their old videos are better
@@amor7886 100%
My list in case anyone’s curious
5. Pringles Original
4. Lays Salt and Vinegar
3. Sun Chips Harvest Cheddar
2. Cape Cod Kettle Cooked Sea Salt
1. Ruffles Sour Cream and Cheddar
Respectable, I was quite sad no Pringles made the vid
Fun fact pringles aren't a chip they are a crisp (because they are made from dehydrated potatoes)
Cape cod chips are the best classic chips out there
now this is a fire list
bruh i had cape cod once years ago and they were SO GOOD, but stores never have them when i remember about em ;-;
my take on the chip variety pack:
-cool ranch: fun, lovable, cool kids who didn’t have to try to be liked
-nacho cheese: awkward, shy picky eaters who probably have one friend who doesn’t even like them
-lays original: the kid who was so mature that they’re flavor palettes evolved into liking dips with chip at an early age
-fritos: the weird cousin who has a red rash around his lips from licking them too much
-funyuns: the kid who has an older sibling in high school and started cussing at a really young age
-fritos honey bbq: ryan bergara
you did fritos dirty man😭
I will NOT take that nacho cheese dorito slander, those are literally my #1 favorite chip
Why is Funyuns so accurate though?
I'm a funyun person, and I have to say... yes.. fritos kids are weird 😂
I praise Shane for putting sour cream and cheddar ruffles.
They're the best Ruffles.
My fav chips ❤️
that was me with the fritos
You should try the Pringle’s version
me, a non-american, having no clue what they're talking about cause we have none of these brands, still very much enjoying this video
same- I'm Australian, the only one I know is Lays because of how popular it is
i’m american and i’ve not had a lot of these chips lol
Me...a Scot, thinking they were going to talk about fries because that's what we mean when we say chips. In the U.K. these are crisps! We also don't have Lays and it's our favorite thing about holidaying anywhere else.
@@_obi_o nope lol
@@_obi_o we have walkers. Its literally the same thing but with a different brand name.
I agree about the Salted Egg Chips. They sell for $17 per bag here though so it's a rare treat
Calbee's Shrimp Chips is my number 1 without question. I damn near rioted when my local grocery store stopped carrying them. Also, I am not Asian. I was picking up Asian ingredients, saw them one day thought "Huh, that might be cool!" and have never looked back.
me, a non American : searches every single chip to understand what they're talking about
me too! and the way they say colorful bag, i need to know that.
I'm sorry for your loss...
Y’all are adorable
me, an american: still looks up all the chips
@@sorrym8421 Nah not really
Ryan: Ruffles is a superior dip chip to Lays
Also Ryan: I don't have tortilla chips on my list because we're rating chips alone, dip chips.
He was saying that Lays and Ruffles were neck-in-neck, so he used an extra criteria to see which was better overall
I caught that, too.
he makes his own rules & doesn't follow them LOL
But let's all be honest, ruffles beat regular lay's
Literally came to comments to see if any ones else noticed that.
As a canadian lays win and if I'm at a party its waaaaay more likely to see lays than ruffles
Ryan having Fritos Honey BBQ in his list just makes me love him more. They are indeed perfection.
Shane... I have an even darker horse... Lay's BAKED 😳 So damn good. Not on their own but they enhance EVERY food item
Ryan: I wanted the aesthetic to be a living room.
Also Ryan: *sets up video in kitchen*
Lol, I had the same thought.
😂 hahaha try Zapps VooDoo fellows the BEST EVER
The good part of liking Fritos is that when they're the only chips left in the variety box you're never disappointed
They also go great with chili
Chili cheese Fritos flavor is damn good
I love that corn chip smell.
i came to the comments to say this, THANK YOU 😭
11:12 HAS ME ROLLIN THIS IS TRULY WHAT SOCIAL INTERACTION IS LIKE
Ryan: Rates Ruffles over Lays because they are better with dip.
Ryan when Steven rates a tortilla chip: “We’re not rating on dippability!”
They're really Laying all their chips on the table with these choices.
Aqua-Sama I'm in the Eris order
They all seem to have a chip on their shoulder about their choices 😂
Yeah, they should be careful, because their choices may Ruffle some feathers
How dare you.
"It's a chip for children!"
"And I'm a child"
I swear their bickering gives me life lol😂
No replies, nice
I turned away for a second and came back to see Shane making out with his hand
Calbee Shrimp Chips are effing amazing. I'm lucky because my usual grocery store has a pretty comprehensive international isle and you better believe I'm getting those shrimp chips, those Nongshim honey twists, Indomie Mi Goreng Ramen, and sometimes I'll get a ramune, or if I'm feeling basic some matcha pocky. 😍😍😍😍🤤
Oh! Also my store just started selling diy Boba kits, too, and they're fantastic. There's also a decent British section and I love those chocolate covered digestive biscuits. 😍
"We're not talkin about best chip with dip" He says after defending Ruffles as the superior dip chip
aXentOG I do agree, but I think his point was that you’ll still eat Ruffles without dip but the vast majority of people don’t just eat plain tortilla chips, and he was just defending ruffles over original, not over other chips. If that makes any sense 😂
Right?! Lol
@@SilverWitch971 it does actually thank you for elaborating.
Look, I’ll say it: Ryan has the best list hands down. Good mix of classic and fun flavortown. Side note, Shane looks genuinely homicidal at some point in both of these beatdown videos and it’s haunting
His demon is trying to take over in those moments
@@lillykaler4142 bold of you to assume shane isn't a demon at all times of day
at last, someone has said it !
Fully agree with Ryan on ever level when it comes to Ruffles vs Lays
It’s impossible to watch these without wanting to snack lol
The contrast between Steven's credentials played up and his entrance from a cleaning supplies closet is hysterical
We need an episode of Shane eating all the chips Steven listed. That was a plain list he made hahahaha
Ya'll deadass need to try Zapp's. It's a southern brand my dad introduced me to and oh my goddddddddd it's so good. My favorite is the Cajun Crawtator, but they have some other great ones too like their Cajun Dill Gator-Tators. And Shane... have you ever had Frito salad??? I think you would love it.
I eat Zapps voodoo all the time because they kinda remind me of all dressed chips, which are a Canadian thing, but I can’t get them in the south. Truly a top tier chip.
I can’t even express how much I love this channel I’m living my absolute best life
"you ever opened a bag of pringles?"
no, steven, they don't make bagged pringles.
Yes they do. We have bagged pringles here in the philippines
Wait we do???
@@alvinespiritu8942 Yes.
Yes they do lmao
@@micahquinto2748
Yep I think they're like 10 to 13 pesos in the sari sari stores near my school
Miss Vickie's Jalapeno was a surprise, but absolutely *chef's kiss*
True
Those are good. Interestingly I've never gotten them at the local megamart but only at Togo's sandwich shops.
Miss vickies is definitely on my list
I had no idea I had such typical midwest tastes until I saw Shane's in these Top 5 food vids while also going went 'huh?' at a lot of Ryan's choices. When I saw Ruffles C+SC I felt vindicated 🤣
PLEASE THE WAY RYAN WROTE THE K IN VICKIES IS ACTUALLY KILLING ME LMAOO
i died a little bit when steven said “Haven’t you ever opened a bag of Pringles?”
Can
Lol so I wasn’t hearing things!
shocking news tho, you do get pringles in a bag as well
Pringles aren't technically a chip. They're legally considered a potato crisp because they're essentially just assorted potato bits pressed into the shape of a chip
Steven: (talking about tortilla chips) “I don’t want any of that dust-“
Ryan: *I’m all about that dust.*
The fritos honey barbecue twists are criminally underrated, and Ryan is right that NO ONE takes the plain fritos from the fun pack. My parents would buy those boxes from Costco for me and my siblings and the Fritos were the desperation pick.
AND YEAH KETTLE SEA SALT AND VINEGAR SLAPS. I LOVE THE BURN.
ryan has never been more correct than when he said frito’s honey bbq twists
Steven has too superior of a palate for this show 😂
steven: "salted egg is a popular flavor in asia"
ryan: *makes a clear "i'm sorry wtf??" face*
Yes and Irvin's is Amazing! I prefer the fish skin version more
that's the best flavour
As an Asian, yes
I mean... salted egg flavored fried chicken is my favorite so....
somebody take ryan's asian card away.
rewatching this, i need everyone to see how amazing shane is without speaking from 0:00 to 0:19 tell me if I'm wrong
I started laughing right before steven said "hey, mark likes it!"
As a Midwesterner, Shane's list is the most Midwestern list I've ever seen
Once the Jays came out we all knew.
Ed Boi from Ohio I approve ur comment
“I wanted the aesthetic to be a livingroom”
* is in the kitchen
Living room kitchen
Shane gained even more of my respect with Fritos at #2 lol
plssss do a taste test version where you guys collectively vote a top 5 overall at the end
The honey BBQ Fritos SLAP. Period. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, I always get a small bag whenever I see them, you’re not alone Ryan.
I've never seen a big bag 😭
Honey BBQ Fritos changed my life...slaps harder than my dad's belt.
Kylee I’ve seen it once, but it took me too long to finish it 😂 the small bags are the perfect size
I used to eat them all the time in high school. When I see them now I hold back because I KNOW I would eat the whole bag (I've never seen a small bag) in one sitting. They are amazing.
FACTSSSSSS!
Why is no one talking about how nice Shane’s handwriting is?
Stevens got pretty cute handwriting too. Ryan’s is a mess and I love it 😂
ryan and shane united in this series? the true *chef's kiss*
I have just found this series and I hope these never stop. Lol
You guys really shouldve brought your chip choices (especially the less universally known ones) for the other guys to try! I think we all wouldve loved to watch Shane try shrimp chips for the first time
The Chef kisses should remain a running gag in general lmao it's just so funny. I would buy merch with Shane's pose at 19:13
rixiestix yesssss please make this shane pose a meme!!
rixiestix
Rider doctor
I know
Ggtfhdggtf
ryan's bit about the fritos is SO TRUE because no one at my house ever eats them
i’ve never been happier with Ryan than when he unleashed his number 1
The tense background music stopping and starting constantly was a delight.
“We’re all spicy boys”
None of them have any spicy chips on their list
Vicky's Jalapeno.
@@jayhom5385 "None of them have any spicy chips on their list
"
"What are you, tap dancing for The Man here?" Hahahahaha fuck, the Shane/Ryan dynamic is pretty impossible to not enjoy, lol
Revisiting this video and having recently had some homey barbeque Fritos...I gotta give it to Ryan! They are unique and addictive.
Shanes Chef’s kisses
12:40
19:06
Someone put Shane's 2nd chef's kiss on a tshirt! 🤣🤣
Thank you
Steven: I'll eat tortilla chips by themselves
Ryan: Well you're weird
Me eating tortilla chips by its self: SCREW YOU RYAN
it's as if they've never gone through a bag of tostitos lime in the span of hour
8:58 these guys tuning into the same frequency simultaneously gives me so much serotonin
"Well the ridges reinforce it", comedy gold right there
Favorite part: Ryan leaving, Shane and Steven awkwardly hanging out
Ryan: Ruffles are better with dip, and are therefore better than Lays
Ryan when Steven pulls out tortilla chips: we're not talking about dip here 😂
My thoughts exactly 😂😂
thank you for pointing this out
There's a difference though. Ruffles stand on their own way better than tortilla chips. You need dip with tortilla chips. You don't need dip with ruffles. Not to mention, ruffles are more salty and crunchy than Lay's.
Vortex1988 are y,,,you ryans burner account,,?
@@deeznutsjokemaker7227 Lol, not quite. I could debate either Shane or Ryan on their choices. I'm with Shane on the Jay's chips though. Not necessarily their bbq, but Jay's Hot Stuff chips are insanely addictive.
“Ill write that on a letter and mail it to your mother” is an AMAZING phrase- like thats amazing.... im using that
Why does it look like they’re sitting in the kitchen of a frat house
Because they're in ryan's appartment and I'm pretty sure he still has roommates. So it's kinda like a frat house
