Lots of chip flavors. In the UK and probably other countries Frito-Lay makes a Thai Sweet Chili kettle chip under the Sensations sub-brand. They sold it in the U.S. too but dropped the whole Sensations line after the corn chip side did not do well at the same time as Sun Chips were growing (used the same production lines). Hal’s of New York does a really good version of this but I only see them at one hotel I often stop at in Albany.
Later they had a white cheddar and cracked peppercorn flavor, also a kettle chip but with a cut that made it more like Ruffles. Fantastic chip, but gone.
When I was a kid I remember a brand called O’Boise’s. I think it was connected to Keebler. The sour cream and onion was really good. Schlotzsky’s sour cream and onion chips are extremely similar.
Panera used to use chips from a brand called Krunchers. Panera only had the plain kettle chips, but in grocery stores they had a lot of good flavors. Haven’t seen those in years. Now Panera’s chips are private labeled, but taste the same.
Lays is called Walkers in the UK and the Sensations brand is still sold.
Here there are in my local supermarket. Personally I prefer the Sensation Thai Sweet Chilli nuts, they are the perfect thing while you wait for food to cook on the BBQ.
Yes, sorry if I wasn’t clear; it’s only been discontinued in the U.S. as far as I know. Perhaps Canada also; I haven’t seen them there but I don’t know if they had them in the first place.
I miss bbq walkers that came in a black bag. They stopped them decades ago and the last bag I had was when I was maybe 9.
Damn I was gonna suggest Hardbite Sweet Ghost Pepper if you like the sweet Thai chili but I think Hardbite is only Canadian.
Never heard of it but I’ll see if I can find it next time we visit my wife’s parents in Quebec
Looks like it's available in the US from Amazon:

Yeah, you can find gray market imports of the Walker’s Sensations from the UK, but it’s not as convenient or cost-effective as finding them at your local store. I get them occasionally and save them for a lunch treat.
