The best crisps in the UK, according to AI - do YOU agree?

Whether it's part of a meal deal, dunked into a dip, or simply on their own, one thing is certain – Britons love their crisps.

In fact, 98 per cent of British adults identify themselves as 'crisp eaters', while a third eat them daily, according to a 2022 study by Walkers.

But despite their popularity, one key question remains – what are the best crisps in the UK?

To answer this hugely divisive question, MailOnline turned to AI chatbot, ChatGPT.

The first noted recipe for crisps can be found in The Cook's Oracle, by William Kitchiner, which was published back in 1817.

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

To get to the bottom of the ultimate crisp, MailOnline asked ChatGPT to 'rank the best crisps in the UK.'

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

'Ranking the "best" crisps can be highly subjective, as preferences vary greatly from person to person,' it noted.

Walkers (otherwise known a Lay's) top the list, according to the AI bot.

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

Tyrrells comes in next, followed by Kettle Chips, who ChatGPT notes are 'famous for their thick-cut, crunchy chips.'

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

'Although not strictly crisps in the traditional sense, Pringles are immensely popular in the UK with flavours like Sour Cream & Onion, Original, Salt & Vinegar, and Paprika,' ChatGPT noted.

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

Meanwhile, ChatGPT has given Sensations by Walkers their own ranking, coming in ninth on the list.

'Offering a range of more exotic flavours inspired by world cuisines such as Thai Sweet Chilli, Japanese Teriyaki Chicken, and Mexican Fiery Sweet Chipotle,' it explained.

Finally, the list is rounded out by McCoys, which ChatGPT praised for their 'ridged crisps and strong flavours.' +5 View gallery

If you're outraged that your favourite option is missing, panic not – ChatGPT highlights that the list is 'by no means exhaustive.'

'There are many other great crisps brands and flavours available in the UK. It ultimately comes down to personal preference!' it added.

The crisp ranking comes shortly after ChatGPT revealed the best forms of potatoes. 

The 'classic comfort food' of mashed potato topped the list, followed by roasted potatoes. 

'Roasting potatoes in the oven gives them a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior. They can be seasoned with herbs and spices for added flavor,' ChatGPT said. 

French fries came in third place, followed by baked potatoes, which the bot suggested are best served with 'sour cream, butter, cheese, chives, or other toppings.'

Crisp-lovers will be happy to hear that crisps (or 'potato chips', as the US bot calls them) came in fifth place, followed by hash browns. 

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