Revealed: The best chips in Britain, according to AI – so, do you agree with its picks?

Whether it’s part of a meal deal, dipped into a dip or just on its own, one thing’s for sure: Brits love chips.

According to a 2022 study from Walkers, 98 percent of British adults identify themselves as ‘crisp eaters’, with a third eating them every day.

But despite their popularity, one important question remains: what are the best chips in Britain?

To answer this wildly divisive question, MailOnline turned to the AI ​​chatbot, ChatGPT.

So do you agree with the ranking?

Whether it’s part of a meal deal, dunked into a dip or simply stands alone, one thing’s for sure: Brits love chips

The first known recipe for potato chips can be found in William Kitchiner’s The Cook’s Oracle, published in 1817.

Since then, their popularity has skyrocketed around the world, with thousands of flavors and varieties now available.

To understand the ultimate chips, MailOnline asked ChatGPT to ‘rank the best chips in the UK’.

Within seconds, the AI ​​bot came up with a list of the top 10 varieties.

“Judging the ‘best’ chips can be highly subjective as preferences vary widely from person to person,” the report said.

According to the AI ​​bot, walkers (also known as Lay’s) are at the top of the list.

“A classic and widely available brand with a variety of flavors including Ready Salted, Cheese & Onion, Salt & Vinegar and more,” the bot said.

Tyrrells comes next, followed by Kettle Chips, which according to ChatGPT are ‘famous for their thick-cut, crispy chips’.

Despite technically being tortilla chips, Doritos are fourth on the list, followed closely by Pringles.

“Although not strictly crisps in the traditional sense, Pringles are hugely popular in Britain with flavors such as Sour Cream & Onion, Original, Salt & Vinegar and Paprika,” ChatGPT noted.

Seabrook comes in sixth place, ahead of Hula Hoops and Monster Munch.

Meanwhile, ChatGPT has given Sensations by Walkers its own ranking, putting them at ninth on the list.

“It offers a range of more exotic flavors inspired by world cuisines such as Thai sweet chili, Japanese teriyaki chicken and Mexican fiery sweet chipotle,” it explained.

Finally, the list is completed by McCoys, which was praised by ChatGPT for their ‘ribbed chips and strong flavours’.

If you’re outraged that your favorite option is missing, don’t panic – ChatGPT emphasizes that the list is ‘by no means exhaustive’

If you’re outraged that your favorite option is missing, don’t panic: ChatGPT emphasizes that the list is “by no means exhaustive.”

‘There are many more great crisp brands and flavors available in the UK. Ultimately it comes down to personal preference!’ it added.

The competitive ranking comes shortly after ChatGPT revealed the best potato shapes.

The “classic comfort food” of mashed potatoes topped the list, followed by roasted potatoes.

‘Roasting potatoes in the oven gives them a crispy outside and a fluffy inside. They can be seasoned with herbs and spices for extra flavor,” ChatGPT said.

Fries came in third, followed by baked potatoes, which the bot said were best served with “sour cream, butter, cheese, chives or other toppings.”

Chip lovers will be happy to hear that potato chips (or ‘crisps’, as the American bot calls them) came in fifth, followed by hash browns.

Meanwhile, two slightly unusual options – potato salad and gnocchi – were revealed as the seventh and eighth top forms.
