Chips are more than just a side — they're a Fourth of July staple. Whether paired with burgers, dips, or enjoyed straight from the bag, chips play an important role in holiday spreads. And while everyone loves a good potato chip, distinct chip preferences emerge across different regions of the U.S.:
- Utz ruled the mid-Atlantic and parts of the South, taking top honors in the Carolinas, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware.
- No surprise here: Hawaiian Kettle Style Potato Chips were the go-to in—you guessed it—Hawai'i, where they were over 2,500% more likely to be purchased than the national average.
- Similarly, up in New England, Cape Cod Chips came out on top in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine.
- And true to their Rocky Mountain roots, Coloradans scooped up Boulder Canyon chips, which were picked up 525% more often than the national average, to pair with their favorite dips.
