Today is National Potato Chip Day, the perfect time to celebrate America’s favorite snack. Millions of people will be crunching on their go-to chips today — and with so many options out there, it’s tough to choose a favorite.
If you’re from Maine, you probably have a soft spot for Humpty Dumpty chips. Named after the nursery rhyme character, the brand has become a local icon.
Founded in 1947 in Scarborough by George Robinson and Norman Cole, Humpty Dumpty was eventually sold to Old Dutch Foods.
While the chips are mainly sold in New England, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada, they’ve become a must-have at Maine summer barbecues and the perfect side to a sandwich.
There’s something about Humpty Dumpty chips that just hits differently compared to the big brands.
So, we decided to rank the best Humpty Dumpty flavors — and we want to hear your thoughts too!
Ranking the Top 7 Humpty Dumpty Chips
Picking just seven wasn’t easy, but here’s our list:
1. All Dressed
If you love bold flavors, All Dressed chips are for you. They’re a perfect mix of ketchup, barbecue sauce, sour cream and onion, and salt & vinegar — a true flavor explosion.
2. Salt & Vinegar
These have a sharp, tangy kick that pairs perfectly with a sandwich. They’ve been my go-to ever since I first grabbed a bag with a super deluxe salami from Bangor’s Coffee Pot.
3. BBQ
There are plenty of BBQ chips out there, but Humpty Dumpty’s version stands out. They’re smoky, sweet, and the perfect match for a burger.
4. Dill Pickle
An acquired taste for some, but if you’re into the tangy, briny flavor of pickles, these chips deliver big time.
5. Sour Cream & Onion
Not all sour cream and onion chips are created equal — and Humpty Dumpty’s version is top-tier. They’re creamy, tangy, and a great sidekick to any sandwich.
6. Original Ripple
Simple but classic. These are the gold standard for anyone who loves the original potato chip crunch.
7. TIE: Sour Cream & Onion Rings, Cheese Sticks
Technically not chips, but they deserve a mention. The sour cream & onion rings are crispy and flavorful, while the cheese sticks are cheesy perfection.
Of course, this list is totally subjective — so what’s your favorite? Let us know which Humpty Dumpty flavor you’d rank #1!
