Before lining up 10 of the most readily available corn chips on the market for blind scrutiny, I had never properly delved into the seemingly endless permutations of corn, oil and salt.
Sure, every corn chip brand starts off with the same ingredients. But somehow the result is so wildly different. This taste test was judged entirely on taste and texture. And while smashability (the ability to mindlessly shovel the product in my face hole) was taken into account, it did not affect the overall score. To keep things fair, I only tested corn chips that were seasoned with salt, as any dustings of flavour would have skewed the result.
