There are many types of chips to choose from! The most popular type of chip is the potato chip, a thin slice of potato that's fried until crispy. Kettle chips are thicker, crunchier potato chips cooked in a kettle for a unique texture. Baked chips are made from sliced potatoes that are baked rather than fried for a lighter option. Tortilla chips, made from corn tortillas, are another popular choice, especially for dipping or topping. For a twist on the traditional potato chip, vegetable chips made from veggies like beets, sweet potatoes, and parsnips are available. Pita chips, baked slices of pita bread, are another great option for dipping. Lastly, we have multigrain chips, made from a mix of grains for a hearty crunch, and pretzel chips, which are essentially flattened pretzels.

In Canada, we love our potato chips in all their diverse flavours! Classics like Salt & Vinegar and Barbecue are favourites nationwide, but we also indulge in unique flavours like Ketchup and Dill Pickle. More adventurous palates might reach for Smoky Bacon or Poutine, capturing quintessential Canadian tastes. All-Dressed, a Canadian specialty, combines multiple flavours to delight the taste buds. For those who prefer a spicy kick, Jalapeño or Spicy Dill Pickle are popular choices. At Walmart Canada, you'll find a chip flavour for everyone!

For a party, it’s recommended to have at least one to two bags of chips per five to 10 guests, depending on the size of the party and the other snacks being served. If you're hosting a large group, consider offering a variety of flavours and types, such as classic potato chips, kettle chips, and tortilla chips. You can also find larger, value size chip bags. To make things easy and inviting, display the chips in large bowls or baskets placed at easily accessible spots around the party area. You could also provide a selection of dips for guests to enjoy with the chips.

In addition to chips, popular salty snacks include pretzels, popcorn, and nuts like almonds, peanuts, and cashews. Crackers, often paired with cheese or dips, are also a go-to option. Cheese snacks, such as cheese puffs or cheese crackers, are favourites for those craving something savoury. Trail mix, combining nuts, dried fruit, and sometimes chocolate, offers a satisfying blend of flavours and textures. For a protein boost, beef jerky is a popular choice, while rice cakes in flavours like cheese or salt provide a light but tasty option for snacking.
