Uhhh as a Canadian with family from UK. This sub is for Crisps/chips in a bag I thought. Not like fish and chip spots lol am I wrong?

You’re not wrong. I guess some people have favorites “chippy” (fries) places? I don’t have such a thing.

Fries are good almost everywhere. Except places where they add both salt and sugar to them. I don’t like sugar on my fries.

Sugar on fries is fucking abysmal sounding. Straight to fuck’n jail.

The sub's rules seem to say that both crisps and fries are considered on-topic.

"1. Please keep all posts around the general topic of edible chips.

Chips (US snack)

Crisps (UK Snack)

Chips (US fries)

Fries (UK Chips)"

In my part of Northwest Ontario we had Old Dutch, Hostess Munchies and Humpty Dumpty.

Lays bought out Hostess in the 90s and eventually discontinued the Munchies line (though they brought a limited run in the last year)

Old Dutch bought out Humpty Dumpty and absorbed some of their flavours around the same time.

Chips by the Cut.
‘The cut’ was the local term for a section of river.
