Here's a random thought. Kettle corn and kettle chips. Same name. Very different.
 
What are "kettle chips"?
 
To tell you the truth, I'm not really sure what makes a kettle chip a kettle chip. They seem to be regular potato chips, but a bit thicker and greasier.

According to the internet, the definitive source of all truth, kettle chips are potato chips made by the Kettle food company while kettle corn is sweetened pop corn.
 
Utz Kettle Classic chips are "cooked in 100% pure peanut oil [in a kettle, one would think] for extra crunchiness—which means you can taste <span style="font-style: italic">and</span> hear the difference in every chip."

Mmmmm...
 
According to the snack food episode of <span style="font-style: italic">Modern Marvels</span>, kettle chips are made by the batch in a traditional kettle or similar device. Modern potato chips are made in a continuous fryer and are more uniform. Until the continuous fryer was invented in 1929 all chips were of the "kettle" type.

Kettle chips are usually thicker, with a higher oil content. They <span style="text-decoration: underline">can</span>, depending on the sugar content of the potatos used, have a more of a cooked potato flavor.
 
Beat me to it... anyway, Cape Cod potato chips are kettle-cooked chips. For me they're about the best there is, but sometimes they're just too crunchy.

Oh yeah! Love their "Classic" & "Sea Salt & Vinegar" chips.....1 bag per movie & Jerri has to get her own!
 
Haven't tried that one.

Every since I pulled some cracklin's out of the vat at the slaughterhouse before they were processed, I've not touched one....they're one of those delicacies you have to acquire a taste for,
