I don’t eat chips very often, but my favorite are blue corn tortilla chips with salsa verde, both from Trader Joe’s.

I like both. Both words are used out here in Oz for the packet crisps/chips or the potato kind…Chips not crisps. Just to add to the confusion.

I don’t make it a habit. But once in a while I’ll buy a huge bag of restaurant style tortilla chips and a big slab of cheese to make nachos. 
Come on people.
These are chips
And these are crisps:

What happens when you have stale crisps that are no longer crisp? Do you have to rename them?
I think they’d have to be pretty stale to completely lose the crisp!
I still eat them if they have gone stale.
But no, we don’t know the answer to this. We need to page the Oxford English Dictionary people

We have a similar problem with fries in the US. We’re in the clear when fries are deep fried. However, when we oven bake fries, we have a philosophical dilemma, or really more of an existential crisis.
