Slightly misleading claim as Tri-Sum was actually the Leominster Potato Chip Company in 1908. ~2025-35435-37 (talk) 20:09, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

nutrition information

Might be prudent to add a table of brands and show calories, salt content etc so readers can be better informed My IQ >> 160 (talk) 22:56, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a food blog. See also the existing "Health concerns" paragraph in the article. 162 etc. (talk) 01:36, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Nutrient contents for 20 different preparations of chips are available from the USDA FoodData Central, such as this entry for plain, salted potato chips. A nutrition table can be copied from most food articles, then inserted into this one with the corresponding nutrient data and discussion.

With so much variety in how chips are manufactured, choosing one as representative may be unsatisfying to some readers. Zefr (talk) 20:34, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

English Chips are not French Fries.

The article is inaccurate.

English chips are thick cut (batonnet to baton) chips of potato. French fries are thin cut potato (Jardinere) of potato.

French fries would not be served as part of traditional Fish & Chips.

A Canadian-only flavour of potato chips missing.

Roast chicken is a flavour of Lays potato chips that is sold only in Atlantic Canada (the provinces of NL, NS, NB, and PEI). This is currently missing from the article in the section about Canadian potato chip flavours. It's listed on Lay's Canadian website. Punqueen13 (talk) 13:02, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

A secondary source would be best. The Lay's site linked above does not mention where these are sold, so the claim that these are only available in Atlantic Canada is dubious. 162 etc. (talk) 18:02, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

Name discrepancy

Given that the origin of this food is England, and the earliest recipes for them are English, why is "crisps" set as an alternative name? Shouldn't the name be "potato crisps" or "crisps" with "potato chips" or "chips" as alternative names? This is like if Pain au Chocolat was called "Chocolate Bread" or "Chocolate Pastry" with "Pain au Chocolat" as an alternate name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-24595-09 (talk) 20:33, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
